FRISCO JUVENILE

Too Much DeIiberation Lone
Fault of Lad Who Beat

NAN FRANCISCO, September TO-
Every national golf championship
produces some new sensation and
- the discovery at Pebble Beach
was William Lawson Little, the
San Francisco juvenile who defeated
Johnny Goodman and gave Francis
Ouinet one Of the stiffest battles of his
long career. 1t is idle to forecast the
future OF these youngsters upon O single
performance, but Little appears to have
the makings Of fine golfer, provided
he Immediately sets about correcting q
few faults.
Little came to the peak of his youth
full career in the national amateur
Only a few months before the cham
pionship he failed to get through one
Of CALIFORNIA; minor tournaments, and
was paid little or no attention when the
battle Of Pebble Beach began. But his
play against Goodman and Ouimet
quickly stamped him as a youngster
who has arrived, and he will bear
watching in the future.
The youngster hits a nice ball with
every club, and gets sufficient carry to
score well on any course. but it was on
the green's that his play most impressed
the writer. The Pebble Beach carpets
were very tricky, and demanded q lot
OF curVlng puts tnat many well known
players were unable to produce. Against
Ouimet the young San Franciscan was
rolling the ball to the immediate Vicin-
ity of the cup time after time.
Needs More Speed.
Titles one fault is slowness. He was
clicked taking almost six minutes to
putt out on the seventeenth green in
his match with Ouimet, and making
shots through the fairways he was de-
liberation itself. Such tactics tend not
only to spoil players game but also to
make himself immensely unpopular with
all opponents, and Little is too fine q
youth to start with such a reputation.
The son Of an Army colonel, Little
has been DESTROYS of securing an ap-
pointment to West Point. But Uncle
Sam does not permit much time for
golf at the Military Academy. and Cali
fornia golfers are urging the boy to
enter Stanford, where he can develop
his game and perhaps bring a bit OF
national fame to the Golden State.

He's Decrepit Veteran Only
When Compared With His
Former Self.

Va YEW YORK, September 10-Big
~ Bill Tilden's status, so Tar as
VI the public Is concerned, Is man
4 ifested by the applause which
greets his every appearance,
whether as player or spectator. IN the
national singles tournament now In
progress ut Forest Hills.
It is as though tennis enthusiasts had
suddenly realized that Big Bill, as the
writer pointed out nearly a fortnight
ago, is still the third-perhaps the
second-best tennis player in the world
right now, and so may be regarded as
a decrepit veteran only by comparing
his present form to the heights his
game attained at his prime.
That able sports philosopher. john
Kieran, nusing over the fact that pa
irons Of the tennis championships may
sit comfortably in their seats assured
that the protagonists of the sport will
surely move upward to the crucial semi
finals and finals day after Say, with
but the slightest possibility OF upset,
turns his thoughts to the upheavals,
ney such as the defeat Of Bobby Jones
which marked the national amateur
golf tourney last week. 1t Is, he reflects

Mr., Kieran offers no conclusions, but
as a fact conclusions concerning the
difference between those allied sports
golf and tennis, are by no means dim
cult to reach.
Course Can Beat Golfer.
In tennis you are playing against Q
man: in golf you are playing against a
game A champion In golf Is precisely

figures TO lick you any time or place.
In lawn tennis all the elements Of
opposition are ponderable. You know
your own strength, have scoped your
possible deviations in form, and you
understand precisely what they mean
relatively. But lines of relation cannot
be drawn in golf. The science Of the
game is woven into q fabric of physical
coordination. mental potse. delicate
nerve control, and still again into con-
siderations Of weather and terrain
which are very important. A Bobby

but Tilden only once In blue moon
Bill the Favorite.
Tilden, by the way. is playing in his
first national since 1927, and is the
favorite to win, with George Lott re-
garded as the only player standing as
a fine outside choice for the title Bills
first tough hurdle will be Francis X
Shields in the third round. and while
the two will make match Of it, Tilden
should certainly crash through and
then work his way into the quarter
finals, with John Van Ryn as his oppo-
nent. Beating the young JerseyYnan
as he should, he will 60 into the semi
finals. From the nature of the draw
Lott and Hunter should also get into
the seni-finals, the probability being
that Tilden and Lott will fight it Out
for the title. All this Is set forth as

Judging from the first round play of

the grass surface repeatedly cost him
points in misjudged balls or unsure
footing. But yesterday was an unusual
ly severe test for the uninitiated as the
grass was soaked and as slippery as a
polished floor. Charest did not wear
spiked shoes as did some of the play
ers, but kept the match well under
control despite his obvious doubt as to
which way the ball would bounce or
how much ground he could ever in a
