THREE STRAIGHT?
Continued from poge seven

one under par to snatch the lead back
from Lawson Little and win the first
prize money.
Since the early days of my pro golf,
conditions in tournaments have I'M
proved considerably, thanks to the
Tournament Bureau of the Profess
sional Golfers Association. This
bureau has succeeded in ruling fy-by
night promoters off the courses, has
lowered the cost of the annual tours
of the pros and has raised the amount
of prize money. Back in 1884, for
instance, the total amount of pro prize
money to be had was S6O,OOO But
this year we will be shooting for
total of S235. 900.
However, it is still tough task to
grind out living at tournament golf.
You see, although there is more prize
money, there are also more players
striving for it. And, too, though there
are better tournaments. there are bet
ter players in each of these Journeys.
For example, not so many years ago
it was foregone conclusion that the
winner of the National Open would
come from select group of four or
five players. They stood head and
shoulders above the rest of the field.
But there's no such select group today.
The improvement in equipment, the
growing popularity of the game and
the generally pleasanter conditions in
Journeys have raised the common
standard of play to such level that
where once one of five figured to win
the Open, any one of fifty players is
likely to stroke his way to victory in
the stream-lined 1899 Open this
week.
But, even though you are victorious
in the Open, your struggle isn't over.
The tournaments come too fast and
furious. After winning the National
Open at Denver last season for the
second straight time, couldn't, much
as wanted to, sit back in the soft and
warm spotlight of fame. | had to get

and Miami -Biltmore Opens, and fin
ished in the money in ten other major
meets.
That 1896 Miami Biltmore tourney
convinced me that bad breaks in golf
aren't insurmountable if you don't let
them get you down. All you have to do
is to keep swinging, and your luck is
bound to change some time.
For instance, in that Miami
Biltmore affair l was six strokes ahead
of Lawson Little. my nearest rival.

my drive from the fifth tee struck a

but a violation of the rules nonethe-

to report it.
Officials differed. over the rule and
there was a long delay while they

able to resume play. l finished with
seven for that black hole, and found
myself, instead of being six strokes

me sort of impervious to body blows

right on my horse and hop over to
St. Louis to play in the Western Open
against the very same players l had
beaten in the U. S. Open. 1t was like
playing a World Series right on top of
a World Series.
Then, too, there is the practice. Con-
slant practice. The old adage "Prac-
tice makes perfect goes for the golf
champion as we'll as the duffer. My
game is never perfect. There is always
some worrisome little fault cropping
up just as one is eliminated. So. even
between tournaments, practice every
day - early in the morning before the
members of the club come out, and
late in the evening when they have
gone home.

- NE day in June, at Wolf Camp
in the Cobb Desert, Walter

ing for fossils on the gray white sedi-

bone caught my eye. 1t was not more
than an inch long but | knelt down
and with a whisk broom began to

hands fiat stone was exposed right
over the bone, and he moved the block
with the greatest care. 1t was like lift
ing trap door, for under it lay mas
todon's molar tooth firmly set in bone.
Granger followed it down while |
looked on with excitement. The enor-
nous spoon-shaped lower jaw of rare
shovel-tusked mastodon slowly took
shape under his brush. Near its lower
end second tip of bone barely showed
in the sediment. As that was exposed
still another came to view. This went
on bit by bit until we had excavated
the skulls, jaws and parts of the skele-
tons of a big mother shovel-tusker and
her baby. For two million years they
had been lying there covered with un-
known tons of sediment which had
been gradually worn away by the &C
ton of weather until that first telltale
point of bone had been exposed. That
is the way fossils are found.

becomes, then, merely a matter OF
trained eyes to find them. Always
there must be some indication OF the
presence of bone. 1t would be quite
hopeless to dig just anywhere 1t is an
axiom in paleontology: Never dig for
bones unless you see them"
Fossils are being made today just
as they we're a million years ago. When
an animal dies the skeleton may be
covered with sand or other sediments.
This heaps up higher and higher and
eventually may be consolidated into
rock Then very slow change begins.
Cell by cell the animal substance in
the bone is replaced by mineral matter
and the skeleton becomes petrified, or
changed to stone. Sedlmentary strata
must not be too old - that is, they
must not have been laid down before
vertebrate animals existed - or natur-
ally they cannot contain the bones of
such animals; very old sediments may
have invertebrate fossils as we'll as
insects and plant life.
Sometimes the sediment in which
fossils are found has been consolidated
into hard rock, such as sandstone or
limestone Consultations depends upon
pressure, moisture and chemical fac
tors Often even very old sediments
have not been consolidated and still
remain as rather loose sand that can
easily be dug or brushed away. We
found one beautiful skeleton of small
dinosaur in a ledge of hematlte: the
bones themselves had become COM
pletely lmpregnated with iron and
resisted our strongest tools. On the
contrary, a nest of dlnosaur eggs
eighty or ninety million years old
could be brushed out Of sand that re-
mains almost as loose as on the day
when it was deposited.
In the Cobb Desert we discovered
some of the most important fossil
fields in the world but the area is by no
means as extensive as the Bad Lands
of Wyoming, South Dakota and the
surrounding area of our own West.
These are the greatest on earth. The
arid country of South Africa has great
fossll-bearlng regions, as also have
Argentina and India. In Europe and
Australia the areas are limited and far
less important than other regions

such as sandstone, limestone, clay and
slate. Of course bones could not be
preserved in igneous or volcanic rocks,
such as granite. Therefore we travel
over the country until We find sedi-
mentary strata. That is the first
requisite. Next, the deposit must be
cut by erosion into escarpments. ra-
