CYRIL WALKER TELLS: A Pebble That Cost Me a Title When Teacher Made Good The Best Shot I Ever Made _/ WHILE skill Is ths deciding fac tor in ths winning of cham pionships, It cannot bs denied that luck also plays a part. Some break of the gams entirely beyond ths control of the contestant confers upon him ths Joy of victory or the gloom of defeat. If it be the latter, ths player lias all the years of hla Hfe In which to ponder sadly upon what might have been. Perhaps the catastro phe arrived at a time when he had been performing in his very best style. Perhaps the very play that produced it was executed perfectly. *If so, his sorrow Is the more acute. On a number of occasion* I have lost a championship by the narrowest of margins Just because, on one hole out of 72, Dame Fortune turned her back on me. In the first winter championship tournament ever held at San Antonio, Tex., this happened. Tears ago Jack Burk* took the Minnesota open from me by a single stroke, after w* had made the un usual record of doing the 72 holes respectively In 282 and 283. Twice the Metropolitan Open lias slipped from me by the tip of my fingers. And, last winter at rine liursl, Walter Hagen beat me for the North and South Open title Don’t Pay $1,000 or More for a car, without knowing what the leader offers in the fine*car field WE made a canvass of many who bought rivals of Stude bakers. We said, “Tell us why you liked your car the better.” The majority said, “We did not even look at the Studebaker.” Most of them bought new models of the car they owned before. * * * Yet Studebaker is a leader in the fine-car field today.

For two generations, against all the world, it held first place in horse drawn vehicles. Now for years its name and fame have been committed to like attain ments in fine motor cars. If you only knew There is no room here for details and comparisons. Yon will find them all in Studebaker showrooms. But let us cite some significant facts. That lack of vibration, so conspicu ous in Studebakers, costs us $600,000 yearly in extra machining of crank shafts. That matchless strength in vital See the Studebakers Studebaker builds more fine cars than any other plant in the world. Last year 145,167 wise motor car buyers paid $201,000,000 for Studebakers. The demand has almost trebled in the past three years. Studebaker now bolds a leading place in the high-grade field. Our modem plants and their equipment cost $50,000,000.

We were first to use cord tires as standard equipment. We were the first quantity manufacturers to build bodies of the highest grade. If you want beauty, fine upholstery. rich hmsh and equip ment, consider that Studebaker has had more experience in fine coach building than any other motor car maker. Our place no^accident The pedestal place which Studebaker holds in the fine-car field is not the result of accident.

BONNEY MOTOR CO. | HArney 0676 2550 Farnam St. The World’s Largest Producer of Quality Automobiles tlironcli "the luclt of the game" on a abort liole, when nn unplayable lie brought me six strokes Instead of pur three. But the toughest break I ever experienced was In the Metropolitan Open of 1921, played at Slwanoy. It came at a time when I was at the peak of my game. For three rounds I had been leading the field and on the first 12 holes of the last round 1 had been keeping up the pace. When I reached the 13th tee I was ahead of Bob McDonald of Chicago by one stroke. But If ever nyinber 13 was unlucky to anyone It was to me then. The hole Is a 210-yard one. The green Is elevated, has a double hump In It, and Is trapped on sll sides. When I prepared to shoot the wind was blowing across the fairway from right to left. I chose a spoon and hit a high ball. I liave never made a better shot In my life. As I watched the ball In Its flight straight toward the cup, I figured on a score of three, which would give me another stroke on Mi lkmaid. Bob was just a hole ahead of me and word' hail mine hack that lie had taken a four on the 18th. A two-stroke lead meant a good deal with only five more holes to go. But at this point dissster overtook me. As I said before, the green had two humps, or undulations, in It. The first was toward the front of the green. Just beyond It was the cup. Next came the second hump, and, at the rear, a nasty trap. My hall, dropping on the first elevation, should have stopped after a short roll, giving me a sure three, with a chance for a two. Instead it hit a small pebble, or hard spot, hounded 13 feet Into the air and plumped into the trap. Two minute* later. Tommy Mc Namara, who was following me. made a tee-shot to within a few Inches of where my hall fell. No two strokes could have been more alike. But whereas mine found the trap. Tommy's gave him a hole In one! But my hard luck was not ended with my tee shot, landing In the trap, my hall found the only heel print In It. Thi* waa right in the corner of the hazard, where some spectator, resting for a moment on the grassy edge, had Jammed his foot a good Id Inches Info the sand. .1 holed out In seven, four strokes more than I should have had. That was Just the margin by which McDonald heat me. My poor fortune tinnferved me. And. on hearing of It, Bob was cor respondingly encouraged. nWlirn Teacher Made Coed. x'E of th« best playa I ever made was In a round at my own club, Englewood, NT. J.. with one of our membera, Tj. C. Walllck. It was accomplished In trying to allow Mr. Walllck how the ball should be hit to get It out of an unusually diffi cult lia. Tf I wers Instructing are man In th* art of golf, I surely would not choose this play for a demonstration. It would not be possible to duplicate th* success I bad on this occasion with any degree of regularity. My partner and I were approarh hig the green of fhe 2'8-yard fourth hole at Knglewood, when my second shot went Into a big ditch whlrh lies to the left. We found the ball In the water rlose to the hank far thest from the green, a distance of 20 yards from tha pin, I should say. A* ws wers playing s "friendly game" I was going to pick It nut and take a penally atroka when Mr. Walllck apoks up: "What would you do In a rase Hhe that If you were In a rral match?” ha asked, "Well. If I threw out It would cost ms a stroke." I replied, "and If 1 tried to play out. I might fall. One would act according to the situation at the time—whether or not aavlng a stroke was !m|>ortant " "Let s sc# how you'd play that ball,” he countered. lie bad given me a tough problem. Recause of the position of the ball I had to stand with tny left foot In ihe water hiu! my right much higher up. on the hank. The latter was *' 'teep th.it 1 couldn't tHk# a back stroke. I had to lift my club stnive my head, chop down behind the ball and then bring up with nil the quick ness I could muster, l'sltig tny nib lick, with the blade lnld well back. 1 almost holed out. An additional roll "f three Inches and T would have found the cup. The satisfaction this stroke gave me was due In the fart that I hail been requested to demonstrate how it should ho made and had worked out the dlftirult proposition perfect ly. Siirnl.v the best play one ran make Is that one executed accord ing tn the specillcalhiiis of another parson under really adxerse condi tions.

It was a play which you may think impossible. But the big gallery which witnessed it will testify that It is. Privately, I don’t yet understand just how it was done. Pete O'llara and I were in a uerk-atifl-neck struggle for file title, with Pete leading by one stroke when we came to the 420-yard 13tli. i had frittered away several strokes on the holes immediately preceding and was feeling prcll.v savage. My emotions were not soothed by the fart that after a good tee shot I now played m.v sec ond kerplop into the water hazard that crosses the fairway about 20 yards in front of the green. The ball was sunk in 12 inches of water, a feenjingly unsolvablo lie Looking at»it, i- ahnest reached the conclusion to thVoW it out and accept the penalty. But I was desperate. Peto was on the green In two with o certain four In sight. Something un usual had to be done, or, with but five holes to go, 1 would be distanced. It was necessary to stand in water well up tow aid my knees to got at the ball. When I cut loose with my niblick I took almost enough of that hazard’s < Cjjuents out of it to turn it dry.

The Phaeton Chrysler Six Magic Is Boiled Down Experience The performance of the Chrysler Six is so remarkaMe that it veri fies the boldest claims that could be made. This fact has caused wonderment as to the means ■ employed in securing results so sensational from an engine only 3-inch bore by 43/i-inch stroke. There is neither magic nor mys tery in tile Walter P. Chrysler creation. The Chrysler Six repre sents the boiled down experience of all that has gone before. A ride in it will quickly disclose to you the deficiencies of older practices which must now be regarded as totally inadeauate.
