1888. That's why my victory IN last years
tournament was doubly sweet. 1t wiped out
the memory of that awful afternoon in 1888
when stood on the threshold of national
fame - and stumbled.
When the last day of that 1893 Open
Tournament came, found myself battling
down the home stretch with Johnny Goodman,
the Omaha, Neb, amateur. for the Champion
ship. Goodman finished ahead OF me, and
came up to the last green facing four-foot
putt to tie him for the title. A four foot putt!
A good golfer can sink them in the dark -.
but not when he is tense and tired and thou
sands are breathing behind him. missed it.
For four years that putt haunted me
for four years could see the look in the eyes
of the crowd that trimmed the home green
that day can't you see now why that
victory last year was so sweet!
Don't let anybody tell you that there isn't
any great physical or mental strain in golf -
especially in the three days of the Open. 1t
takes as much out of man physically as
football game, crew race. or mile run.
Those things are over in from four minutes to
three hours But the Open lasts three days -
and three nights. The nights are as bad as the
days, tossing in the bunkers of your bed.
worrying over what the next day will bring.
The physical strain is subordinate to the
mental anguish. Like the melody of song,
the mental strain fingers on, even after you
have finished your game. Take the case of
Harry Cooper in 1896:
Harry, although one of the finest shot
makers in the history of golf, has never won
the Open. When he posted 284 at Baltusrol.
N. J., for a new record low score for the event,
he was sure that his long quest for the cham
pionship had finally come to an end. And so
was everybody else. But as the winner and
new champion" was being toasted in the club
house, word came that Tony Manero was
sweeping down the course like brushfire.
And Cooper could do nothing about it -
except to worry and hope for the best. The
futility of it must have been maddening.
Perhaps. though, the worst strain is the
crowd. 1t bothers even the veterans, and 1t
wrecks the hopes of many promising young

PLAYER. Roland Hancock, the Atlanta golfer,
is case in point:
1t was back in 1923 at Olympia Fields :.
Hancock started the last round six strokes
behind Bobby Jones. The galleries. of course, i,
paid the youngster no heed, but trailed along
with Jones and his closest rival, Johnny
Farrell, the dapper professional. Hancock.
however. suddenly got hot He fired a 33 on
the outgoing nine and piled up pars coming
home. His amazing rally swept him into the
lead and when he stood on the seventeenth
tee of the final l8 he needed only par on
that hole and par on the home hole to
win.
But he didn't stand alone on that tee. Joe
Jitters," unlimited, stood there with him. The
crowd had heard about Hancocks rally and
had deserted Jones and Farrell to swarm
around the unknown. Hancock was young,
but he must have aged on those last two holes.
He needed a for each, and lost the tourna-
ment by one stroke.
Luck plays an important role in every
Open - luck, both good and bad. Bobby
Cruickshank, the wee veteran, had one of the
luckiest breaks in the history of the tourna-
ment. 1t happened in 1894 when Bobby was
battling for top honors at the Merton Cricket
Club near Philadelphia. One of Bobby's drives
off the tee was short and dropped into the
creek which runs in front of the green. But
to the amazement of everyone, the ball
bounded back out of the creek and landed
right on the green. 1t had struck a rock.
Cruckshank couldn't have been more over
joyed if he had struck gold. Hurting his club
into the air, he cried. Thanks, God!' The
club came down and hit him on the head and
he was almost knocked out. The Wee One had
to wait ten minutes before taking advantage
of the easy putt which fate had presented.
Don't get the idea, however, that all of
Bobby's luck has been good. All things con-
sdered, he is one of the most ill-fated players
in the Open Bobby is one of the worlds truly
great golfers. and yet he has never won an
Open. Neither has Harry Cooper; nor Mike
Brady Yet each of these players managed to
tie for the championship, only to lose in play
offs - and Brady experienced that bitter
disappointment twice.
1t has been estimated that victory in the
Open is worth $4,000 to professional. The
food of endorsements, exhibition tours and
offers of jobs make the tourney extremely
worthwhile. But drab uninteresting fellow
will not find victory as profitable as would
such colorful stars as Hagen, Sarazen, Farrell
and Snead. to name only few.
Come to think of it, Sammy Snead almost
made as much money in last years Open as l
did. As champion. | got the first prize OF
$1,000. But Sammy got $3.50 when he and

golfers in the tournament.
had been planning to brush up on my
game in preparation for this years Open, but
the thought of Sammy reminds me that had
better go out and brush up my suit.

ulating contacts of the past hour she had almost forgotten that she was misfit. When she got back to the dormitory, of course, she would find the summons from Miss Arm strong; and that would be the be- ginning of the end.
 Once back in the dormitory, she noticed light in the demonstration classroom. She had almost forgot ten that tomorrow she had been scheduled to demonstrate before the class in nursing procedure: The Making of Bed with Patient in It. .. The Bath of Patient in Bed. The Dressing of Patient in Bed. . Preparation of Patient for General Medical Examination.
 It was to have been sort of final test before the granting of her cap. .. Getting your cap meant that you were full-fledged student nurse, entitled to wear gray striped uni form, white cap, and white bibbed apron-ready for regular duty in the wards.
 The demonstration was to have taken the full class period. Instead of "Griselda," the dummy, Anita Sci bert, another probationer. was to have served as patient You always had to demonstrate with a living patient before you got your cap.
 Tran and Anita had planned a full-dress rehearsal here this eve ming. But Anita had been sick in bed all day. Tran had taken it for granted that the rehearsal was off.
 Nevertheless, seeing the light un- der the door, Tran paused outside She couldn't quite face the thought of going to her room yet anyhow with that summons from Miss Arm strong waiting for her. Perhaps Miss Philbill, the instructor in nurs- ing procedure, was in the demon stration room. A talk with kind humorous Miss Philbin would buck her up lot. And perhaps Miss Philbin would know what was going to happen to her.
 If it was to be the worst, Tran knew what she was going to do. She was going to dress herself up in her best and meet Bob Benchley outside Borden's as he had asked her to do that evening If she was going out of the hospital on her ear anyhow she might as well have little fun on the way.
 Tran opened the door and went in. If she had only known it, her decision was one of the most for tuitous of her nursing career.

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
Where Salt Is Roked For Your Toble

CRUISING about in the West
 Indies some time about 1873, Bermudians first visited the unin- habited Turks and Caicos Islands lying at the southeastern end of the Bahamas, found they possessed vast quantities of salt. So began an industry which today is still the main work of this tiny island group.
 The Turks and Caicos Islands, more than 30 in all, with an area of less than 200 square miles, are of coral and sand formation. The Turks islands are so named from the cactus resembling a turban. The largest of the group is Grand Caicos, which is 20 miles long, six wide. The seat of government is at Grand Turk.
 In 17l0 the British were expelled from the islands by the Spaniards, but they returned eventually and revived the salt trade, chiefly with the United States. By l765 Great Britain had finally established full claim, and has held them since. Though geographically a part of the Bahamas, the group forms separate government today under direction of Jamaica. Sisal hemp and sponges are chief exports in addition to salt. A Coronation stamp of the dependency is shown here.
