FURNISH BIG TEST
/ or TITLE TOURNEY
-Four. Par 8 Greens Call for
Stiff Pokes-Von Elm and
Burke Feared.
By FRANCIS J. POWERS.

n n ANdARoNECK, N. Y, June 27.-
NH The United States national
V open golf championship will
4 i be won by the sharpshooter
who can show the greatest
skill on the first four short holes that
furnish variety, but no relief, on the
west course OF the Winged Foot Coun-
try Club, the scene today Of the cham
pionship play. In no other open cham
pionship have the one-shot holes ever
occupied the importance placed upon
those at Winged Foot.
Par for each of the four holes is 3,
and four times is IL strokes per
round and 48 for the championship.
But the gallery goSsips are wagering
ers In the entire field can show better
than so strokes for the four one-shotters
when the championship is finished.
The short holes are not short ones
In the sense that they can be reached
with q spade mashie or light iron.
Every one of them requires a stiff, ac-
curate poke with a heavy club, and the
difficulty may be increased If head
winds whip over the course during the
play.
$ The first short hole encountered is
No. 8, where a spoon or No. iron will
be needed for the 214-yard carry. A
three iron is necessary for the 180-yard
seventh, and the shot on the tenth may
Z be either a full spoon or a No. iron.
The thirteenth is the worst of the lot,
: and there are occasions when q brassie
yards Of trouble.
Greens Are Sizeable.
All of the four greens are of COM
Portable size and easy to hold If shot
is well hit, but they are also bristling
with deep traps. and present such an
awesome appearance from the tees that
be seized with nervous trenors and send
his shots skittering OF line. Then the
fun will begin.
The long holes of the course are only
ordinary. Winged Foot has had no rain
of any consequence for several weeks
and the fairways are hard baked and
free from the troublesome clover. There
Is not hole on the course the long
hittefS are not reaching in 2, and were
it not for the four short ones some re-
markahly low scores might be registered
during the championship. But the one
shooters give the tournament q new
complexion and prophets still are cling
ing to their original estimate that 296
will win the championship, with 294 as
the lowest possible figure.
Jack White, the famous English pro-
fessional from Sunningdale, who was
British open champion in 1904, has
come over to see the championship. He
had q look at Bobby Jones on Wednes-
day and declared: "The boy Is very
convincing" Jones has altered his
stance since he last appeared in the
North. He is now standing about two
inches farther away from the ball on
his wooden shots and hitting quite the
longest shots Of his career.
He made the change after seeing his

The natural way of doing anything

we ever try to do it. There Is the
striking incident of Bobby Jones

as an example. After stance and
grip had been corrected Jones wanted
to know how to hit the ball. Hit
hell out of It'll" replied Maiden.
Vardon discovered the natural grip
after centuries of play by others had
failed to produce it. To apply 1t you
merely swing the arms forward from
their natural hang at your sides and
place them upon the club. There is
no twist or turn. That's unnatural.
If you do twist or turn them you
place your arms in unnatural posi-
tons. Then they cannot properly
function. That's Goss' explanation
of the natural grip. Allen Moser,
