'You've got a bunch of better golfers
this year than ever before. You've
got a flock of kids who are playing
much better nowadays than they did
three years back. The whole field
is faster and scoring has improved.
Why only last week boys like Buddy
Bowie and Jack Barr knocked the

BOAT HELD BEST
BRITISH PRODUCT
Will Be Fully Tested Prior
to Another Challenge
for Noted Trophy.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, July 29.-While the
sport Of yachting in this country pur-
sues its normal course, English waters
are the scene this Summer of a
grimly intensive campaign to develop
a class j sloop that will cross the
Atlantic next Summer and take the
famous Americas Cup home with her
The aim of T. o. M. Sopwith and
his designer, Charles Nicholson, is not
merely to submit fine sloop of the
Americas Cup class to sail against
an American defender, but to pro-
duce the swiftest and in all ways the
ableSt "J" sloop that ever raced for
trophy.
Seen as Great Craft.
1T is hoped-and expected, by those
who are on the inside-that the
new Sopwith single-sticker, Endeavour
II, will prove to be just this sort of
craft. Close and competent observers
on both sides of the Atlantic feel that,
when she finally is sweetened for rae
ing. she will represent the best pros
pect for cup lifting that England has
sent overseas.
After an initial start in which the
sloop obviously was in process of pick
ing up her heels, a series of accidents
sent her to the shipyard for extensive
notably for the replacement of
a broken mast. Shortly she will be
under sail again in the various i'm
portant August regattas, race week
at Cowes. and so forth. If she justifies
herself in these events; if, Importantly,
she demonstrates superiority over En-
deavour I. regarded here and abroad
as the swiftest class j sloop ever
launched. then it is a moral certainty
that a Sopwith challenge for the
Cup will be received by the
New York Yacht Club before snow
flies.
MEANWHILE. on this side of the
Atlantic, three sloops of the cup
defender class have been racing all
Summer-the Yankee, Weetamoe and
Rainbow. Rainbow, as will be re-
called. was the sloop sailed by Harold
Vanderbilt that defeated Endeavour I
in the 1884 cup series off Newport.
Defeat Of the British craft was due
to Mr.. Vanderbilt's superiority over
Mr.. Sopwith as a racing navigator, to
the Rainbow's better trained crew and
to certain breaks of fortune favoring
the American boat when it seemed as
though the cup was destined to leave
these shores after stay of more than
30 years. In other words, boat for

A Few Essentials.
"COULD you name few overlooked
~ essentials that the average golfer
misses?" Bob was asked.
IT can try to-" he replied. "One Is
firm left-hand grip-especially with
the little finger of the left hand.
Don't let that get away. Another IS
starting the backswing with the left
hand and the left side. Don't leave
the left ankle, the left hip or the
left shoulder behind. The left side
must be unlocked, or there can be
no turning-a fatal and common
fault. Don't lock or stiffen the fore
arm. This will tie up hands and
wrists. Try to get feeling OF live
hand action. Be sure to finish your
backswing-and don't be in any rush
to start the downswing. The main
point is to think in terms of *mooth-
ness all the way through. There are
no sections to a golf swing. 1t must
be one blended motion"
What about the head?"
II keep my chin pointed slightly
back of the ball and make sure
it stays there until after the ball
Is on the way.
"This must be developed into a set
habit-and it must be a vital part OF
the swing. The head keeps the swing
in place, allowing hips and shoulders
to turn correctly. Good golf must come
from concentration on right habits.
Few ever give this much considera-
ton. Yet it is the only way to be
even fairly consistent. This means
that golfers must g&ve much more at
tention than they do to the mental
side of play"

to be in too much Of hitting hurry.
"Fourth-Don't take it for granted
that these things will happen always.
They usually won't-unless directed
by your mind. The main thought
always must be on causes-not on
effects-on right methods-not re-
suits. That's where so many go
wrong-even the best of the pros
and the amateurs. They are think
ing too much beyond the swing-not
of what must first happen to make
the swing effective.
Anything Can Happen.
THE golfer must realize also"
Jones added, that anything
can happen at any time. He must
be adjusted mentally for shocks.
Walter Hagen is marvellous example
in this respect. For example, I'll tell
you something that happened to me
in my last round at Hoylake in the
British open of 1880. On one of the
longer par 5 holes was rs yards
from the green in 2 shots. Yet it
took me 5 more strokes to reach
the cup, without meeting any bunker
trouble. The pin was in a tough spot,
on a small plateau. I tried to chip
just short and the ball rolled back
of the green. My next was just a
trifle too firm and the ball slipped
40 feet past over the plateau. down
a slippery slope. That left me hard
putt on the mound-I missed the
next one-and there was a 7 in
place of the I'd hoped for. And
I'd played practically every shot just
as I planned it out"
How did you ever get that slow,
smooth backswing going so well when
you were playing tournament golf?"
I asked.
"1t wasn't easy" Jones said.
"You know it took me seven years
