Bobby Jones Hits a Gold Ball Right-Handed,
But He Watches the Pellet Through Left Eve

The other day I was talking about
Alex Morrison, the golfer-actor, whom
I consider . fine teacher and who has
done remarkable things for many
players. But there Is one thing I dis
agree with him about. +.
That's the keeping the-eye-on-the-
ball business. OF course, every play
er must keep his eye on the ball from
the moment he begins his backswing
until after the ball has been hit. Sure
disaster awaits the player who fails
to do that.
Morrison believes . player should
not look ct the ball With both eyes,
but should turn his head In the ad-
dress 20 that the nose cuts off the
right eye on the ball. That gives him
sight Of It only with his left eye.

STORY THAT ONE OF OWN MEN SHOT HIM is
REVIVED ON BATTLE ANNIVERSARY

| Joseph, his younger brother, enlisted
to fight the French. They joined up
at Shippensburg, Pa, and were as
signed to the Forty-eighth English
Regulars.
On July 8 the expedition arrived at
the fork of the Monongahela and the
Youghiogheny rivers, site of the pres
ent city of McKeesport. Not more
than twelve miles down the Mononga-
hela, in the depths of the forest, was
Fort Duquesne. July the army for
ded the Monongahela and proceeded
along its south bank. About noon the
army again forded the Monongahela,
crossing over to it's north bank. Fort
Duquesne was some seven miles dis
tant, and yet no sign of the enemy.
English regulars were brilliant in
their scarlet uniforms. Polished bay
onets caught and reflected the rays
of the sun as they filtered down thru
the leaves. Virginians, angry, sens
ing an ambush, scanned the forests.
Braddock, brave but stubborn, in full
uniform and bright red sash, rode
with his troops; young Virginia ma
jor named Washington warned him of
the danger which might be behind
each tree and rock and bush, but Gen.
Braddock, wise in European technique
disregarded the warning-not thing
could stand before his well-trained
and well-disciplined English regulars.
Suddenly that which Washington
warned of became a reality. Then
was born the story of Private Thomas
Fawcet and Maj.-Gen. Edward Brad
dock. Braddock and his men marched
straight into the trap set for them by
the French and their Indian allies.
Each rock and tree and bush seemed
to belch forth leaden death. The sur
prise attack threw the English vet
Grams into confusion. Discipline gain
ed the upper hand for time and from
close formation the regulars fired at
their unseen foes, but in that fatal
formation they began falling like the
leaves from trees in late autumn. No
enemy was visible and the very mys-
terry of this style of fighting seemed
more than the regulars could stand.
Their lines wavered once more and the
men broke into little groups. Wash
ington and other officers vainly asked
Braddock to allow his men to take
cover.
Eight like English soldiers-in the
open," was the veterans only reply.
Still on his horse he set the example.
The battle developed into slaugh-
ter and panic seized even the veter-
an troops. They began firing at ran
dom, in the air, into groups of their
comrades, anywhere in the hope of
hating that unseen foe. Braddock
was in the thick of it-still stubborn
but courageous.
"Some of the Virginia soldiers, es-
saying to fight the enemy frontier
fashion, broke ranks and deployed in
skirmish line, utilizing every bit of
cover; but Braddock, with many a
good military oath, called them back
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-07-03
The Legend of Who Killed Brad1ock

to the ranks; some of the regulars al
so trying to do the same thing, he
beat them back to their close forma-
ton with his sword" These words
of Charming, the historian, coincide
with the language of those who have
chronicled the adventures of the Faw-
Gets, for the fact that che beat them
back to their close formation with his
sword, is the basis of the Fawcet
legend.
Untutored though they were in the
science of European military tactics,
the Fawcet brothers understood the
style of fighting they were up against.
To fight the Indian in his own way
was their rule and they proceeded to
follow it by taking cover. Braddock,
busy flaying his men, is said to have
struck down Joseph with the flat Of
his sword. Thomas, fighting from be-
hind a tree, saw his brother fall and,
believing the English general had
killed him, Tom raised his rifle, took
careful aim and fired. Braddock fell
from his horse mortally wounded. So
runs the local tradition.
The commander, history relates,
was removed from the field and car
ried back to Dunbar's camp where he
died, muttering his belated discovery
that eve shall know better how to
deal with them another time" His
grave was dug in the center of the
road and next day the feet of his re-
treating army passed over it, effect
ually obliterating any evidence that
beneath the roadway lay the remains
of the defeated leader. But Private
Tom Fawcet and Maj.-Gen. Edward
Braddock were not yet finished with
one another.
James Hadden, of Uniontown, Pa,
near where rest the alleged remains
of the English general and also those
of Fawcet, in his "Washington and
Braddock Expeditions, written in the
year 1911, pictures Fawcet aroused by
"the striking down of his brother for
no other offense than that of fighting
in the only successful manner against
the Indians. This was too much for
man of his temperament to stand and
he determined at once to have re-
venge and at the same time to put
an end to the terrible carnage for
which the officers had pleaded in vain.
He raised the gun and sent the deadly
missile crashing through the right
arm into the lungs of Braddock. While
this rash act of Fawcet can never be
palliated, but deserves hearty condem-
nation, the love he bore toward his
comrades and his admiration of Wash
ington appealed to his untutored mind
and brutal instinct more forcibly than
his loyalty to his commander.
One war seemingly was enough for
Private Fawcet, for there is no record
of his having served in the Revolution.
Toward the close of the eighteenth
century he seems to have bobbed up
in the capacity of tavern keeper on
Laurel Hill, some miles east of Union
town. While acting the role of host
he is said to have frequently enter
tanned his guests with the story of
how he killed Braddock. He excused
the deed by claiming it was instru-

On July 8 and the towns of Brad.
dock, North Braddock and Rankin
suburbs of Pittsburgh, will celebrate
the one hundred and seventy-fifth an
niversary of the Battle of Mononga-
hela, or "Braddock's Defeat" as it is
better known. The federal govern
ment is to be represented, as are Vir-
ginia and Maryland.
The coming celebration has revived
the yarn that grew out of the death
of Maj.-Gen. Edward Braddock-a
story that conflicts with the accepted
version. History asserts the English
commanders death was caused by a
French or an Indian bullet. Gossip
of Braddock's day says he was MUIR
dered by Private Thomas Fawcet,
Forty-eighth English Regulars. In
fact, Private Fawcet, (whose name
also may be spelled Fausett, Fossil,
Faucet or Faucet) is said to have
boosted of the killing.
Braddock was born in Pertshire, in
Scotland, about 1896, followed his
father into the Coldstream Guards, a
regiment famous even then, and won
his way through the various grades,
gaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel
by distinguished service at the battle
of Fontenoy in 1745. September "a,
1854, found him a major-general of
the line, appointed as commander-in-
chief of the English forces in Amer
lea, with orders to destroy French
power in the New World.
Little is known of Fawcet's early
history. 1t is certain, however, that
he did not enjoy the same refinements
of education and society as had been
Braddock's portion. He is believed
to have been born in the sparsely set
tied country which today is West Vir-
ginia. Large, muscular and illiterate,
he is described as having been a man
of rough habits, his character, as well
as his physical being, toughened by
the hard life of the trail; his wits
sharpened by the rather personal nee
essity of keeping his scalp in its prop
err place.
General Braddock reached America
February 20, IT'S, and made his head
quarters at Alexandria, Va. During
the spring of that year he planned
the campaign which he believed would
accomplish his mission. Fort Du-
quesne, at the junction of the Allie
gheny and Monongahela rivers, held
by the French and considered the key
to control of the rich Ohio Valley, was
one of his principal detectives. He
considered its capture to be an easy
task. "After taking Fort Duquesne,"
Braddock is quoted by Bancroft as
telling Franklin, 81 am to proceed to
Niagara and, having taken that, to
Frontenac. Duquesne can hardly de-
tain me above three or four days, and
then I can see nothing that can OBJ
struct my march to Niagara"
Now enters Fawcet on the scene.
Lured by the sixpence a day offered
by English recruiting details, he and
