SOME SHOTS OF NOTE ON RECORD
Dlanaraa-ement of Trutli' nord Not
Warrau tea hy Faela U(tk f
from Tre a Uood Servant, .
bat Bad Master,
An account by cable of the recent drive
by W. H. Horns at the Becalngham Oolf
club of 381 yards has attracted attention In
this country and wherever golf Is known.
Ths American Interest was heightened by
the addenda to the report that W. J. Travis'
"record of 74 yards" Is not generally ac
cepted by British golfers. This opinion, to
deal first with the question of accuracy.
Is based seemingly on a notation In a Brit
ish book of golf statistics, which states, "W.
J. Travis In 1908 drove a ball 174 yards, but
as Mr, Travis Is a short driver tht grounds
could not have been level."
The criticism Is captious and based no
doubt on the fact that when Travis won
the British amateur championship In 1N)4 at
Sandwich, beating Blackwell, most famous
of drivers. In the final by 4 and J. his suc
cess rested on an ordinary long game
backed t-y most brilliant putting. This ver
dict Is a Jumping to hasty conclusions and
the golfing handbook has been misled by the
prejudiced generalisation as well as In an
error as to the length of the drive. The
drive was 882 yards and made by Travis
on tho eighth hole at Garden City, January
17, 1903, In a threesome with the late Bruce
Price and Arden M. Robbins. The ground
was frosen and free from snow, the wind
being with the ball. The hole was of 408
yards, the ground rising slightly for 860
yards and- then sloping gently to a road
that guards the green. The hole Is now
only 367 yards, the tee havelng been brought
forward on account of the lenghtenlng of
the seventh hole.
"I somehow managed to get off an aston
ishing long' ball," said Travis at the time.
"It Is the longest drive ever made on any
hole of the course."
He used a rubber cored ball and a driver
with a forty-four-inch shaft, for Travis
did not go In for the fifty-Inch shaft until
1906. Americans have accepted the drive as
a world's record, as It supplanted S41 yards
I Inches of the late F. G. Talt, made at St.
Andrews on a frosty morning, and the 364
yards of Edward Blackwell, made In 1893
from the seventeenth tee at 8t. Andrews.
The two drives were with the solid gutta
ball and the latter, until Home's achieve
ment, was quoted In Great Britain as the
world's record. -
i Particulars are as yet scant - regarding
Home's drive, except that he carried a
bunker 260 yards frpm the tee and that
there was a following wind. He is de
scribed as the professional at the Becklng
ham Golf club, which Is at Woodslde, Croy
den, and one of the courses about London.
The record ts 72, held by W. R. Thomson,
who Is listed In a British directory as the
professional at Becklngham.. Home's name
does not appear In this register, but he
may be one of the younger set who are to
gain- renown in the British game. Cer
tainly if the drive 1ft question Is accepted
as a record Home has made a stirring bid
lor fame.
Blnce the coming of the rubber cored
tall, quite aside from Travis's phenomenal
drive, the Americans have held their own
from the tee and through the green. One
of the lessons learned by our players during
the trip of the Oxford and Cambridge so
ciety's team In 1903 was that to keep "on
the flag" was of greater value than to strive
for reckless distance' and that In the drlvt
ing that counts our best men could hold
their own with the visitors. I W.
Beveridge, their greatest driver, was off the J
course usually from the tee." One of his !
pulled drives from the first tee at Garden
City carried the brick house and landed In
the sandpit on the second hole, a shot that
la still marvelled at. Tet the penalties
taken up by Beveridge through his wlld
ness In direction served only as a warning
. to our players against "swiping" rather
than as an Incentive to surpass him In his
speciality. Both Hsrrjr Vardon and J. H.
Taylor, who preceded the team by two
years to. this country, taught the merit of
accuracy over mere length. They quoted
( James Braid as an example of a fine golfer
marred by wild driving. Although he won
In 1901 It was only when Braid became
the peer of any of the putters that he
secured successively the British open
championships of 1906 and 1906 besides being
scoond this year. . .
Putting has been termed an inspiration,
. and according to Braid long driving comes
as a similar special gift. Although a
cratch player Braid was a short driver
until his seventeenth year, when without
any alteration of stance, grip or swing,
or any conscious effort of any sort, he
changed within a week Into a very long
driver.
"How It all came about was a mystery
to everybody, Including myself." Braid
has written. "All I or anybody else knew
was that, whereas one week ' all my op
ponents were outdriving me . by a good
twenty yards every time, the next week I
. was outdriving., them the same distance,
and the best ef It was this sudden display
of form was not merely temporary. I have
tad no aerlpus fault to find with my tee
hots since that time."
It is Interesting to quote Edward Black
well on his record shots. In an article for
a British golf Journal last year he stated:
.'1' must certainly admit that I have hit
some long ball .In my ' time. ' The best
performance of this kind with which I ara
credited took place when I was home for
my holiday In 1892. and. of course." I was
then playing with the gutty ball. I was
rolng to the fifth hole at Bt. Andrews,
which Is about 810 yards, and I reached the
green In two shots. Major Robert Bethune.
who was near the green and saw what had
happened, fluttered his handkerchief and
called out. " The" wind ts a little against
. you. too.' As we were only 'doing a few
. holes. X and my partner then turned
around and played the tame hole going In,
. the distance again being about 600 ya-d.
and as before I reached the green with
..ray second stroke, so thst In four shots
. I drove more than a thousand yards. As
.a matter of fact. It was a west wind that
was blowing, coming a little from the sldo.
. and I bad to use It to the best advantage
-to get the length-I did. It is generally
known that a fow yeirs later, I drove
from the eighteenth tee at St. Androue
to the steps on the left of the green lead
ing up to the terrace of the clubhouse, or
8b7 yards. The longest tlnglo drive tha,t
I have ever accomplished and which w,is
' measured with the tape, was from tiu
seventeenth tee st St. Andrews, this n'so
happenlnr In . my holiday year of 1.
On this occasion I did not play across the
corner of the dike, and my tall went clove
to the putting green of the first hole.
-We knew that I had hit a very lung ball.
and so .we marked tbe spot, and the
next morning my fa.tr.er and I went down
with a tape and measured the distance.

of 1904 at Rnlturrol. II. Chanler F.gan
gained the 625 yard sixteen green with a

or ysrrt drives are held nv II. 1 Mc
Klnnie at t?t. Louis and for the late II. J.
Tweedic at the ftetmnnt course, Chicago.
In the fall of lOUJ Allan Kennarlay carried
the no yard hunker from the first tee at
Montclalr and gain-d the 312 yard groin,
and the professional George Low on the
same day got to the fourth green at Dyker

was a stiff wind with the ball. P. W. Ken

but as a rule his game ends there. Archie
Graham Is in the same class, but on ex
ceptional times both he and Kendall also
reach good results on their short game.
In" the general average comparatively
few championships or great matches are
won by the players who sacrifice direction
for length, for tbe latter shots are too
risky. They are the boldest In the game
and tho rhost dangerous. Tct long driving
la the mofct glorious thin In rolf when the
line Is kept, for the ability to annihilate
distance from the tee or on tH second shot
warms th heart like new wine or as the
scent of tho battle kindles the spirit of the
charg'T. A match between such players is
titanic and enthuses the gnllery far be
yond any meeting of less daring golfers.
It Is the sort of golf Jcronie Traversand
Warren K. Wood played in the last ama
teur championship ot Euclid, which really
determined the fate of the title, although
the final .between Travera and Graham
was also a contest of long tee and second
shots.
One of the greatest driving matches on
the records was between Flmllav Douglas
and Norman Hunter, when ftie Metropoli
tan Golf association tram played the. Ox
ford and Cambridge society at Garden City.
Each gave the ball the longest! of rides
from the tee and the followers were kept
on the tenterhooks of excitement through
out. Douglas won by 1 up, the medal
scores being 75 and 76. But very often
when two long driverifTneet the match Is
over with one establishing his better skill
for the moment In the long game. To the
"heady" player who can win despite being
outdriven, must be awarded the laurel for
courage, and to watch such a finish Is al
most, as exciting, while perhaps a better
lesson of the game by illustration than
when two "swlpers" are. in the ' lists, al
though the latter style of match suggests
"reading Shakespeare by flashes of light
ning." Travis won a great match against
a longer driver when he beat Travers In
April on the thirty-eighth hole, and' John
Ball, Jr., who on hla renaissance has be
come an accurate Instead of a daring
driver,1 won hla sixth championship at St.
Andrews .this sprlpg by beating the slash
ers,' Guy Campbell and C. A. Palmer, In the
semi-final and final. '
The long drivers fully appreciate the ad
vantage of forging to the front when two
of them are drawn together. They eye
each other on the tee as Jealously as
gamecocks in the pit, and in teeing up each
Is determined to make the other "crack."
In a famous match - for the Metropolitan
Golf association . championship at Deal,
when Flndlay Douglas beat Allan Kenna
day, the former confessed afterward that
he had ahut his eyes on both the first and
second tees aa the club came to the ball.
As It happened. Douglas caught both drives
Just right, and as Kennaday had to play
the odd each time, he began to press and
fell an easy victim. Guy "Campbell had
the same kind of a match with Blackwell
In the last championship at Bt. Andrews.
The latter went at his tee shots, as Kir
kaldy said, "like a wild beast," but Camp
bell had the better distance and won by
and t. Campbell drove the tenth green
on ' one occasion, which Is 312 yards. In
the same competition C. A. Palmer reached
the fifth green, 633 yards. In two shots,
while Blackwell had the first hole of 365
yards, no less than five times In 3. It Is
evident that Blackwell and his compeers
have the mastery of the rubber-cored ball
to an equal degree with their control of
the gutta In the old days.
It is a marvel that with the greater
average In length of the drives with the
new ball that Travis' 332 yards has stood
for so long as a record. The number of
our go'!fvs who now swing at the hall
with the motion of a bullet whirled around

on a string, especially the college hoy,
and who get with but little apparent effort
from 240 to 300 yards habitually from
the top. ts far greater than the number
who" roulil drive 200 yard? with th? r-olld
hall. The American professionals. Oil
Nlrholls, Aleck Ross, Aleck fmlth, Will
Anderson, John Hobens and many mor-
have also lengthened out their drive in
a proportionate degree, yet the old maks
have stood as Impregnable as aiiiraltar.
The exceptional drive Is more 'are than
to hole In one, despite the Improvements
In clubs, halls and golf greens. Perhaps
the truth Is very often it does not pay to
drivc an excessively long ball, hut inr
amateurs and professionals In their ren
eral efficreney rank'as creditably from tho
tee ns any golfers In the worlJ.
Bernard Nleholls has records cf 825
yards at Cannes and of SIS vards 'ut
Boston With the solid bait hut he 'on
jcedes that Oil gets a longer ball Jiow
as n rule. Even where the wind and a
slight slope' aids the roll, an excessive
length Is deemed Impossible, except on
ground hard from drouth or frost. Hard
turf Is not common In England a id golfers
here would Hko this detail ileared ip
before they fully accept Home's great tie
shot. 1
While the greatest distance is irained hy
the younger American amateurs, the rub
ber cored ball has made driving easier to
the oHer nlayers and the circumstance has
brought back 'to golf many who had
dropped out In the solid ball era. When
they drive a straight ball and ore steady
In other departments of the game they
often defeat the college " boys, for wild
direction Is now punished more often on
the best links than a short ball on the line.
A topped ball Is the only terror now for
tho short drivers, for 'the long carrier for
the tee shots Tire now not so frequently
encountered.,- But when a college boy Is
driving straight he la hard to beat, for he
gets to the gxeen more surely and with
less effort than the player who has dis
tance to make up after the tee shots.
Besides, the man who has to play the odd
is a pilot to his opponent as to the wind
resistance and other considerations. Long
driving Is only dangerous when It be
comes a vanity. It Is a good servant in
golfing, but a bad muster.
REVISION THIS SIDE THE WATEH
Old Country Golf Players llrroanlie
Claims of America.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5. Ail objectors to tho
rules of golf as they stand have been
silenced since the arrival of the letter from
Captain Burn, chairman of the rules com
mittee of the Royal and -Ancient Golf com
mittee, stating that a rough advance draft
of the amended rules Is to be sent to this
country for revision before the committee
makes . its report. On the arrival of the
copy the executive committee of the United
States Golf association will probably act
In the matter as a whole and not submit
the rules to a subcommittee, as In 1897 ahd
1902, for interpretation according to Amer
ican ideas. No positive action on this
question, however, will be taken until the
executive committee meeting this month.
As the United States Golf association
committee contains a representative from
each golfing section of the country, It Is
believed the general body will be better
able to act in a Judicial capacity on the
amended rules than a subcommittee. The
previous rules as amended were sent to
this country only after they had been of-
fictally adopted and all that coulf be done
was to turn them over to a subcommittee
for annotation to suit the exigencies of the
American game. In the present Instance
the American' suggestions will be Incorpo
rated In the complete code and the neces
sity for an Interpretation will no longer ex
ist. As a consequence the business of sug
gestion comes within the regular scope of
the United States Golf association com
mittee. Manifestly if the American. Ideas aa to
the severity or mildness of the penalties
under each rule are accepted all the talk
of a separate American set of rules must
cease. The prompt response of the Royal
and Ancient committee of St. Andrews, and
the recognition granted Is a guarantee that
the one set of rules will continue to govern
the golfing of the world. Captain Burn
writes In a friendly spirit and he admits
that the game has outgrown the code. He
states:
"When the rules were last framed, In
1902, it was perfectly understood that the
questions submitted to the rules committee
would disclose weak spots In them and
that It was merely a question of how long
a time should elapse before these errors

Has been weighed in trie balance and found wanting. The great scientist! of all Nations after careful analysis declare that
beet brewed from pure barley malt and hops contains only about 34 Per cent alcohol or just enough to mildly' stimulate
the body and promote healthy digestion. Dr. Bauer, the German analyst (whose fame is international) says "Beer has a
number of pleasant and valuable qualities. No other beverage contains such a combination of useful properties. The water
of it quenches the thirst, the carbonic acid refreshes, the extracts are nutritious, the alcohol furthers digestion, the mineral
salts build up tho bones and extracts of hops act as a tonic." -

committee decided that, as about 200 ques
tions had been submitted, the time had ar
rived when this should be done, and I am
glad to say that the work is ' progressing
more rapidly than seemed possible."
Clarity of expression will be one of the
matters to be considered by the American
committee; aside from any suggestions to
be made regarding the penalties or about
new rules. In the definition of a 'hazard,
according to one United States Golf asso
ciation committeeman, the present rule errs
for general application In stating a hazard
is "any bunker, water (except casual
water), sand, path, road, railway, whin,
bush, rushes, rabbit scrape, fence or ditch."
In his -opinion, except when on the fair
green orthe putting green, the ball is in a
hazard, barring only casual water, ground
under repair.' sand below or sprinkled on
the course, bare patches or snow and ice,

Reginald Vanderbllt Is negotiating with
the directors of the Omaha Horse Show as
sociation with a view tj entering his splen
did stable at the fourth annual show. With
his string the competition woftld be most
keen and people would flock from all sec
tions of the country to attend the show,
for Mr.' Vanderbllt Is a busy man and does
not tske the time to show his horses many
times during the season. ' The prospects are
that Omaha will bo one of the honored
few.
The entries of the Lawrence Jones horses
arrived Friday morning. Mr. Jones' stable
Is well remembered In Omaha, as his Gal
lant Lad and Gallant Lord were the win
ners of several ribbons. Mr. Jones has
sent thirty entries, which include drivers
and aaddlers. His stable is most com
plete, and should Mr. Vanderbllt come with
his horses tho competition would be most
keen.
Word was received Saturday afternoon
that the entries of the Crow & Murray
stable of Toronto, ' Canada, were on the
way. Mr. Murray will make about fifty
entries with his sixteen horses. Murray is
the real ring clown who furnishes all sorts
of amusement to the spectators by his
clownish antics. He Is a most thorough
horseman and all well remember some of
the famous drives he has made around the
tanbark arena with his four-in-hands and
fives and pairs. He rides his own horses
over the jumps In the classes where con
formation counts and where the high Jump
Is not so material, for Murray welgha about
200 pounds and Is quite a load for any horse
to carry over a high Jump.
Another entry which was received with
glee by the director of the association was
that of the Tlchenor-Grand company of
Chicago. This company has never before
had more than one lorse entered at the
Omaha show, but this year word was re
ceived Saturday that over flfty entries j
would be made by this Arm. The entries
will include single horses, pairs, four-ln-hands
and all jther park and road classes.
The. success of the rhow Is now assured as
far as entries are concerned, for these large
stables could give a show almost by them
selves, and with LaWrence Jones, W. H.
