Different Over Here.

n EFT us take look at some of the
people who must be listed among
the possibilities for the Amer
ican title this year. In most other
countries they can boast only one or
two home players of world repute. In
the foreign list this year we find such
names as Roderick Menzel of Czecno-
slovakia, Vernon (Bob) Kirby of
South Africa and Frank H. D. Wilde
of my own country. But their names
are no more world known than
those OF about 10 Of your own pos
sibilities - Wilmer Allison, Frank
Shields, Sidney Wood, Lester Stoefen,
frankie Parker, Berkeley Bell, BitSy
Grant, George Lott, Johnny Van Ryn,
Greg Mangin and Clifford Sutter-
the last still name of worldwide re-
pute, although he has not played
much this year.
Any one who can come through a
field such as this must be great
player, indeed, and any one who would
be prepared to choose an ultimate
winner as a certainty would be equally
crazy.
My only reason, as far as I can
see, for having more than an equal
chance with the rest is the fact that

Tells of Past Meetings.


DRIEFLY, it goes like this: ALI
- son, have defeated three times
in as many matches: Shields has,
so far, one victory and one defeat
against me. With Wood, it is a diff
ferent matter, as we have played six
matches, and, up to Wimbledon this
year, we were two-all. But my two
somewhat lucky wins of Wimbledon
and the Davis Cup, both in five sets,
have made it Az in my favor.
AS yet, I have to cross swords with
Parker, Bell and Mangin in tourna-
ment competition. Stoefen and have
met about five times, and, so far,
have proved victorious. Grant lost to
me at Rye in our only meeting in
1882. Lott gave me a terrific shock
at Wimbledon before I scrambled home
this year, and that victory brought
my count over George up to four
My score against Sutter is about
81 in my favor, and do not think
he has beaten me since 1880. Van
Ryn and myself are two matches all,
and he has not won since 1880. MenZel
has been credited with many victories
over me, but, in a point of actual fact,
he has defeated me only once, and
that was in Paris, in 1882. in five sets,
whereas my own number of wins is
three. And, although Kirby has de-
feated me once, have won from him
on four occasions.
On the face of it, then, it looks as
though they all have chance to re-
peat those victories. The period Of
September to 8 will decide!

~ F ALL the miracles that have
4 happened on any golf course,
Y J A. j. Montgomery of the
Washington Golf and Coun-
try Club, claims to have seen the
most outstanding. 1t comes about
because he had the bad luck to play
with E. NICE. Lewis of the American
Legion and the latter had the good
fortune to pull couple of hat trick
shotS-of the kind that almost every
golfer gets about once in five years.
In Lewis case both came in the
same round and now Montgomery is
wondering whether virtue-in the
form of fairly good golf-is its own
reward
At the third hole at Washington,
a tough par 4 affair, Montgomery put
his third shot on the green. He was
patting himself on the back for haV-
ing won the hole for Lewis was in a
bunker 40 yards away in 3. But
what does Eddie Lewis do but go
down there in the sand and nom
chalantly knock the ball into the hole
for a winning 4.
That was alright with Monty.
"Shucks," he said, every man gets a
lucky one once in a while" But he
began talking seriously to himself at
the twelfth hole. Here Montgomery
reached the green with two well hit
wooden club shots, putting for a
birdie. Lewis, meanwhile, had topped
his tee shot and scuffed his second
shot. "Ah," Monty said, here is
where / get one back from this guy"
And Lewis stepped out and did his
second miracle of the round. From
$50 yards short of the green he took
an iron and whacked the ball into
the hole for bird 3. Montgomery's
par was no good.
One of the mysteries of golf scoring
came from threesome which in
cluded Frank K. Roesch. former Dis
trict champion; Joe Baldwin and ".
Calvert Dickey, in which Roesch
played the best ball of the other pair.
Baldwin and Dickey had best ball
of 73, against Roesch's 80, and they
finished all even. Queer? Yes, but
when Frank went sour he went plenty
sour, and he had four brides.
The prize for hope goes to Thurston
Fur. He was matching cards with
another player in another match and
had a lot of trouble on the fifteenth
hole. why don't you pick up" some
one asked him. How do I know
the other fellow isn't going to pick
up" He kept on whacking away un-
til he had amassed 16 stroke, but he
holed out.

women's champion, may go somewhere

delphia, if she maintains her recent
form. Betty has had several rounds
in the low 80s and yesterday she
dropped down to a 78, composed of a
pair of 39s. She was playing with
John C. Wineman.
Over at Kenwood Mrs. Leo Walper
tied the women's record with card
of 40-42-82. The previous mark
was set by Virginia Pope several weeks
ago. Mrs. Walper took an on the
par thirteenth hole.
At Washington, where Billy Howell
and a group of his teammates from
the Country Club of Virginia re-
manned over for another round after
their team match on Saturday, the
blond Howell shot an even par round
of 10 to gain revenge for he and
Ernest Wiltshire. Jimmy Drain and
Frank Roesch licked them on Satur-
day, but yesterday the Richmond boys
turned the tables. Howell, who has
not been playing particularly we'll
for two years, is back in the smooth
stroking groove which took him to
the semi-final of the amateur cham
pionShip of 1881.
1t may take the 1886 election to
settle the question Of golf supremacy
among the two big political parties.
The G. o. P. elephant and the Dem
ocratic donkey were deadlocked today

Eddie Folliard, always a headline
crasher, managed to make the grade
again by taking II shots on the
fourth hole and win a prize.
Other prize winners were Fred Per-
kins, with low net; Harry HelWig,
Mike Gallagher. Bob King, Eugene
Leggett, William c. Murphy, jr. and
several kibitZer prizes. Obviously in
any kibitzer contest the irrepresSible
Harry w. Ward would run in the

prize for being the loudest kibitzer.
