Baltimore Scene of Thrilling Golf Classic This Week
BY NJ. x. McCaUum

can play fine golf-golf good enough to whip
any one if they keep their heads and play the
golf course But they let a missed putt worry
them and they try to make it up with birdie.
They try to jam their second shots up against
the cup and in going for the birdie they lose
the par. 1t took Jones good many years of
heartbreak and agony to learn that, after ALL
par is the opponent and that if he plays par
his human opponent will crack. When Bobby
finally found that out, in 1924 he began win
ming championships and no one ever stopped
him for long until he retired. But Bobby
in addition to cool nerve and one of the finest
mechanical golf games ever have seen, had
plenty of courage. Plenty of nerve control. He
told me at Columbus in 1926 that his knees
were shaking as he rammed a 4-iron shot to
the home green to win the open championship
by shot from Joe Turnesa. That was the
year. you remember, when Bobby, for the first
time in history, became the winner of the Amer
ican and British open championships in the
same year. But he rolled his approach putt
within inches Of the hole even though he
could hardly hold his putter.
Courage. That's what it takes. They can
have all the mechanical skill in the world, all
the outward appearance of calmneSs of Hagen,
but if those twitching muscles won't obey, they
might as well pack up their clubs and go home"
T. OLF has seen many thrilling moments,
~ when the red badge Of courage stood out.
Days like that one back in 1922 at Brookline
near Boston, when Bobby JONES' then the un-
crowned champion, came home in "a against
Jess Sweetser and picked up one hole That
was the day when Sweetser, playing a spade
mashie as Rachmaninoff fingers a prelude
holed pitch shot for an eagle deuce at the sec
ond hole, and Bobby, reaching down in his bag,
pulled out a mashie niblick and remarked to
Caddie Luke Ross We'll. here goes for half"
Ninety yards away and the ball stopped inches
from the cup, dead in line. That's courage
Courage of the Sweetser brand when the
blonde Manhattanite played Chick Evans in the
final of that same tournament. Just kid

of the bulldog full upon him. Two up with

w- HERE'S going to be a national anna
teur golf championship played and
won near the City of Baltimore this
week. Gathered at the Five Farms
course of the Baltimore Country Club,
a titanic layout for men of Drawn
and fnesse-one of the longest golf courses
chosen for the championship in many years
will be $50 young men, the best amateurs in
the Nation, survivors of series of 20 elmina-
ton contests played on August 16 in as many
cities of the country.
These young men will be the cream of the
amateur links stars of the Nation. Among them
there isn't an individual who is not capable of
blasting par wide open on any golf course he
tackles at any time. They can all score far
down in the low 70s Not "dud or a lost
ball in the group Why can't they all win?
The simple answer is that they can't all win
because they can't play winning golf in the
pinches. But they have proven they can in
their own sections.
The real answer is that when the test comes
in a national championship only few
measure up to the courage a champion must
show to win. Red, raw courage, that flames
as the going gets tougher, jams an iron shot
inside the other gent and wins against the
stiffest odds. Courage of the Sarazen brand
that brooked no odds at Fresh Meadow few
months ago, when the stocky little Italian
American from Manhattan came from far back
in the ruck to shoot blazing 66 over the
last round of the American open and win
against the skeptic frownS of thousands who
said 'he hasn't a chance" Courage that burns
brighter in the closing stages of a match,
glittering -fambeau of high endeavor, brushing
man-made ODDS aside in the rush of the victor
to the kill
Championship golf calls for far more than
physical strength. 1t calls for perfect physical
fitness to stand the grind of SO holes day for
four days, on top of a week of steady practice.
1t calls for endless control of nagging gnawing
nerves. OF nerves that jump and crawl at the
delicate pitch over a yawning bunker or the
intricate run-up shot to diabolically trapped
green. OF that beating down pressure of a
national that burns in on every contender.
GOLF OF the championship brand is not

Nive. Bobby Jones admits he has been so

Che grove about Mumbo Jumbo invari-
ably bear that sign of irrelevant charm.
Besides, what is a god if he does not
exact sacrifices? If we desire the exal-
tation of power, sacrifices are essential;
and we see them in bread lines, in the
recipients of the dole" and in whatever
war shrines and cenotaphS commemo-
rate
We are told that when, in Dublin, at
a vast religious conference, the Pope'S
message of good will was being uttered,
it was indistinctly heard because of the
roaring overhead of airplanes. Has that
any significance? We might do well to
ponder it, whatever we think of the
Pope. The roaring of the new god, it is
a common experience, browns any quiet
message of peace and good will That
may be the reason why we cannot at
times hear our own private thoughts and
doubts about it all, or else think it use
less to utter them, because nobody would
listen to US
\A/E worship material power; and that
w is the way it rewards us. Perhaps
it wants still more sacrifices. Perhaps
we have not done enough for it. Per-
haps nothing less than the complete
immolation of every profitless affection,
of our natural liking for the green, quiet
earth and our human inclination to fun
and unmerited leisure will satisfy the
power house. Home, and life itself, If
required, and happiness certainly must
be surrendered; evidently any perception
cultivated by unhurried people which
makes a difference between literature
and booksellers commodities, between
art and popularity and music and ano-
dyneS would be about as inappropriate in
the new worship as Hamlet at Hollywood.
That perception, too, will have to go
some people say it has already gone.
UglineSs is not ugly, once it is stand
ardized
Meanwhile we invent more machines.
We multiply the number of gods which
represent power and we never ask the
question: Power to what end? We don't
know what to do now with all the terrific
mechanical energy we can generate, yet
we are trying gloriously to split the atom,
SO that we may release-Well, release
something or other; more Of the benefits
very likely, which are forcing us to won
der whether or not they'll end civilization
for us. Is that our common sense? We
can fy to the ends of the earth, though
no adequate reason for it ever appears,
except the publicity thus won; and we

may go even farther than the earth. An
other scientist predicts time, happier
even than this, when we shall be able
to Jump to the moon in a rocket, though
he gave no reason for going to the moon.
Still, we recall that it is usual for lunatics
to try to escape and get back home.
To fly to the moon Yet we find it
hard and sometimes impossible to pay
our rent on earth! This is pretty nearly
enough to bring a smile to neglected
tombstone Men who are so clever that
they are able to split the atom, when
they have found it, are compelled to
admit the necessity of natural laws under
which children must be starved of food
and light. We can salvage gold sunk 20
fathoms in the sea, but not the virtues
which may be latent in poorly nurtured
babies placed in neighboring streets
where they will never know the heritage
and tradition of the Anglo-Saxon race.
Nothing is too good for our engines. We
are giving them so much study, care
devotion and polish that our very souls
tend to become only spare parts of the
gearing of the universal mechanism.
We move in rhythm to our time and
the revolutions of the wheels Our
thoughts keep up with the speed of it
all. We have no time to look around, to
see where we are going nor what we are
doing. We have, in fact, swept past our
selves, and perhaps the best is now be-
hind us; and if we would recover 1t we
must step aside, and refuse to keep up
with the times-go back little and try,
on the quiet, to discover whether gump-
ton has retained any of its old virtue.
RUT I fear, for one thing, that If we
try, as a preparation for a quieter
life, to wash from off the mind the grease
of this age of machines, there is no soap
made for it. 1t is not easy to get rid of
a stain which is in the system. There
is evidence of that whenever the morn
ing news appears. It can be tested in
scores of ways. Only short time ago
a British journal, of impeccable mo-
rality, was commenting on the fact
that one great power in the Far East
had stolen the revenues belonging to an
other power, which happened not to be
so powerful as the first And the action
of the first, though not condoned, was
passed over cheerfully. That respectable
newspaper pointed out that as the first
power was the stronger, we should be
thankful that she had not taken more.
AS though a testimonial and a purse
should be given to any housebreaker who

merits of this deviliSh mechanism, has
reported on it. 1t recommends Parlia-
ment to sanction the use of the night sky
as an advertisement billboard. 1t is only
Mr.. Everybody's sky, and about all he has
left to call his own, but as some clever
person has now found way to utilize the
profitless clouds and stars, Mr.. Everybody
must give them up.
Our green and pleasant land is going,
as things are, and now we must vulgarize
the sky. What is the sky? Only COM
mon heritage. After the factory or the
Office, or in one of the dilemmas of life,
we go out alone at night, and turn our
eyes to the heavens, there being no other
place But at last its old deity has aban-
doned it. In future we shall turn our
eyes instead to "Dentiform Preserves the
Gums" The machine is everything; the
sky is only ours-or rather, it used to be.
The machine is going to possess that,
too.
used to wonder whether earth had
ever borne so foul horror as the cor
ruption of the battlefieldS in Flanders.
It was a revelation of such evil in the
mind of ones fellow creatures that it
had to be put out of the memory But
I think the easy way the British public
is taking the official suggestion that its
sky ought to be a commercial asset is
even worse. We seem to have sunk
below evil, and come to mere mindless
nihilism.
You can test that also. Suppose it were
suggested that the dome of st. Pauls
Cathedral was being wasted, as it was
so well adapted to announcing "Bung's
Beer" to London? Unthinkable! Or sup
pose it were proved the army estimates
could be decreased by renting the backs
of soldiers tunics to face cream manu-
facturer? The brigadiers would explode.
But the sky? That is nothing. Soon we
shall look up to its one-time serenity and
observe: "This Way to Peace! Bloggs for
Cheap Funerals!"
Once admit the normality of a secular
horror, because it is the logical conSe-
quence of our devotion to the engine, and
everything is possible, even the death Of
civilization; of this present civilization,
than it would have seemed some years
ago. There could be a civilization of
quite another order; one that was quail
tative, in which certain unponderable
virtues would be valued more highly than
horsepower.

had very considerably only murdered a
visitor to the house and stolen the
spoons Just think of what he could have
done had he tried! For one of the most
wonderful of the wonderful facts of these
days is the code of morals and the stand
ard of good taste which can be developed
from the simple admission that material
power is greater than all the old-fash-
ioned gods, and should be praised as
almighty if we would avoid i'll luck.
We can justify anything in the name
of progress. The rapid spoliation of the
ancient aspect of the English landscape
is being excused as development" and
the common acceptance of the fact that
as the wheels multiply we must make
room for them if it means covering the
green country with macadam and pol
Iuting every stream, blinds us to what Is
being done. Petrol is causing greater
revolution in our country than the ruin
red Communism is ever likely to bring
about.
In one weSt-country village known to
me, the local council decided to destroy
an ancient water gate because motor cars
could not get to where, indeed, there was
no need for them to be. The water gate
went. The char-a-banc surged through.
Instead of a length of quay of local rock,
the alignment of which varied a bit
through centuries of irregular weather
ing, there is now an absolutely straight
line of dead-gray nodded Concrete. In
stead Of the rugged water .ase there is
public lavatory in vermillion brick with
frieze of glazed yellow tiles. If the
corner Of that village is not completely
spoiled, when the eye of good architect
could have saved it, then there is no
fault to be found with the blisters caused
on Rembrandt canvas because a busi-
nesslike servant used it to encourage
slow fire into progress. Yet we have
reached the stage when an outrage on
a better order of things attracts no
attention.
THE truth is, having discarded our old
standard Of values in this worship of
our new god, we don't know what we are
doing, nor how we are changing our
earth. To show how easily and greatly
we may change it, even beyond the recog-
milton of it's Creator, and without know
ing what it is we do, another ingenious
little invention has come along to help.
There is now an engine for throwing
pictures and advertisements on the night

One\ of the prettiest weddings of .the season took place this morning at 9 o'clock at St Mary Mazda lene's church when Miss Eileen Rose Shanahan, daughter of Mrs Thomas D. Shanahan of Rosette street and Thomas Francis Morris, son of Mrs James Morris of Hick- ory street were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by Rev Raymond Mulcahy of St Peters church, Hartford, a class mate of the bridegroom at Holy Cross college, who also celebrated the nuptial mass which followed. Palms, ferns and an abundance of cut flowers decorated the altar. A special musical program was rendered by Mrs Maud Donahue, organist with William O'Brien, cousin of the bride, as soloist ren- dexing. T Love You Truly, Ave Maria" and 70 Promise Me-. Miss Grace A.

STATE THEATER

Never before has Constance Ben- nett appeared to better advantage than as the reckless darling of the social set, in the Warner Bros pro- duction, Two Against the World,' ' which opened on Saturday at the Warner State theater.
 This is but one of the smashing climaxes in a picture that is filled with dynamic situations and dra- maticv sequences. The development in the character of a frivolous so- ciety girl into that of a woman who is able to make the utmost sacri- flee of her honor and her love, is approached naturally and with a skill that justifies the revolution ary change.
 Neil Hamilton, who made such a success in '"The Sin of Madeline Claudet," "The Wet Parade and "What Price Hollywood" takes the part of the young lover who is forced to prosecute murder charge against hthe brother of the woman he loves, and to listen to her confession of guilt. He shows the polish of a finished actor in the way he handles this leading role.
 Others in the cast include such we'll known players as Helen Vim son, who is doing excellent work in pictures since her advent to the screen from the stage; Gavin Cor don, who made hit playing op- posite Greta GarbO in Romance; {; Allen Vincent, Walter walker, Roscoe Karns, Alan Mowbray and Hale Hamilton. All handle their parts in the splendid manner, born of long experience on both stage and screen. l3@
 The story is realistic and dra- matic in the extreme, and gives Miss Bennett a fine opportunity to display her ability as an emotion al actress. In the early scenes she romps through the picture as a harum scarum society girl with a grace and charm that is enchant- ing. <.
 Being a drama of society, the background is most lavish while the feminine costumes are calcu- lated to set the heart of every wo- man af1utter.
