LIFTED FOR OPEN
Deft Changes Contrive to
Battle Stars-No. ID Is

~ HILADELPHIA.-If Bobby
- Jones were to return to
Merton Cricket Club for
this years national open
he'd hardly know the old place
as that where he took the final
trick in his golf1ng grand slam
of 1880.
Not that the Greens Committee has
made any startling changes in the
famous East course, but by several
deft touches-an altered tee here. a
deepened trap there-theyve con-
trived a course to battle many a cou-
rageouS contender.
Although yardage has been added
extra distance was by no means the
basic desire or final achievement In
the rebuilding The planners aimed
to put higher premium on precision
for the open June TO, and they got
just that result.
Position Play Important.
4 LMOST without exception the
n changes will test accuracy in
various ways. Position play is
the big factor now, with long-hitting
ability minimized. Par remains al
70, but where Jones had to tour a
6,565-yard course in winning the
amateur four years ago. the 1884 as
pirants encounter a 6.694-yard hike
Additional bunkers have beer
thrown up at spots which will give
even the most accurate shot-makers
plenty of difficulty.
For instance, on the 595-yarC
fourth the rebuilders subtly altered
a trap by deepening it four feet. Ir
1890 this was shallow spot from
which Jones. on one occasion, easily
Spooned out.
The eighth tee has been set Il
yards to the left and II yards back
Where Jones had to drive over the
arm Of a right-hand bunker, the 1884
player must send his tee shot down q
fairway hemmed by traps right ano
left.
No. IA Is a Terror.
IN THE next hole the tee ha.
~ been set IS yards to the left
bringing bunker hard by or
the left and dangerous pond in line
with the iron shot.
Just one look at No. IA should
give the average hnksman a rea
scare. 1t has been increased from
4l2 to 443 yards. has much more
drastic dog-leg to the left, follows the
curve of road forming the left boun.
Diary, and the tee is many yards
farther back. Where 1t was formerly
possible to cut this corner with q
drive, the new tee-place makes thi:
scheme too hazardous, while in addi-
ton a new, big bunker at left of green
hides the pin from that side.
On the 395-yard fifteenth the tee
has been pushed back and a 200.
yarder over bunker is necessary. In.
crease Of tee space has made the pal
seventeenth IS yards longer. anc
the same result has been achieved or

7 ARDHEADS, blues and sea
IL trout are plentiful in the wat

EXTENDS TOURNEY
PLAY FOR PURPOSE
To Enter Western and
Pennsylvania Opens and
May Go to Canada.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

~ ISAPPOINTED by his fail
ure to qualify for the
J national open cham
- pionship and his licking
in the final of the Middle At
lantic P. G. A. tourney, Al
Houghton of Kenwood, boss
medal player of the pros in this
sector, plans to extend his tour
nament campaign this year to
take in at least two of the larger
title-bearing events and possibly
one or two of the smaller open"
affairs.
Two years of failure to make the
grade for the national open title have
not dimmed the fire of Houghton's
spirit. Instead his failure at Manor
in 1888 and at Lakeside this year
have spurred the Kenwood sharp
shooter on to work harder on his
game and to gain for himself high
er national ranking through compe-
tition in tournaments far afield.
So Houghton will play in the
Western open championship at Peoria,
Ill, on June Is, 16 and II, and also
plans to take in the Canadian open,
to be played near Toronto, late next
month. He also will play in the
Pennsylvania open and would have
been a competitor in the metropoli-
tan open tourney this week had not
the Midatlantic P. G. A. interfered
with his plans.
