Original Style Heat.
I'ractke carried out on such principles as
Ihea must obviously become deleterious.
In the firat place, the player had formerly
ajriulred tha art of playing shots In a
r.-rlain manner which was In all respects
SJltfd to bis peculiarity of awing and phy
e.cul attainments. With the object of em
bodying In hla style tha more. showy way
of playing a shot by another player, or by
some protesolonal, the player who Is anx
ious to S'ld this shot to bis equipment for
get that the art has been acquired by a
different syetem of practice, that It Is due
Urgely to Inntlnctlva . Imitation, and that
it la on of those Inseparable plecea of
goiflng character which are constantly re
pealed by good aa well as bad players. .
Another element of practice not less es-i-eiitlal
than that v. building It up on some
eurt of sen led style Is tuat it should be
curried out with the whole-hearted object
of nanterlngje difficulty. There are many
goiters today who are quite conscious of
tbetr inability to play certain ahots with
any fnlr amount 01 success. They are not
only conscious of their own weakness, but
tr.'-y do not ta e any particular pains to
toiicrnl from opponents that the best way
in which to overcome certain difficulties of
- fi tire iiitR eyond their skill.
Tske, for example, one of the-most fre
i i -.-1, i ; y r-iurrlnrt difficuuiaes wherein
1 ifct tl. e t rrely made a settled policy on
the part of a majority of players. It Is
tlu art of getting a ball out of a deep sand
,. tH with one vmt. The new class of
bui'ker which Is being luld dtiwn with so
much profusion. Is. without doubt, a more
forTine heats rd to the majority of present
day golfers than many renowned hasards
which have hitherto played a poetical and
ti rroi'iiug part In the tales of our golfing
literature.
' liuabera Kow Are Deeper.
These new traps are nut only being made
depn. but they are, for the most part, built
' uj. villi, a lilg'i perpendicular face on the
aide aptuouchlng the hole. If one cares to
H n.d a tew minutes here and there on one
ol thou gnvns watching the general char
acter of the play out of this new class of
tup he will be surprised .o see the small
iwrrentuge of players who get the ball out
In one stroke. Hather he will be struck by
tn.i fact that tne majority of those who
find their ball bunkered la this way, are
content to play three vicious shots without
. la'Hlnj the bait above the faca; and then
he: will notice tlitme unsuccessful players
breathless with exertion of digging and
out of temper at having to give up the hole
almost without a atrugicle, making their
way to the next ' tee full of complaint
aga.nst the unfairness of the new hataxd.
This la a case where a little study and
practice would well repay the special labor
of aoiuii ing the bunker art. Yet there are
ft Kr golfers In all the varying grades of
piof i lem-y who will devote themeelves to
an hours systematic drudgery to learn
orfily how to play a ball lying In aand,
over a hljrh fence.
KKrytxxly adapts the proud theory that
from the relative shortness of his play or the
ti aiahtness with which all of his balls are
tut the chances tit getting into a bunker
are fairly remote. Hut the last bunker

when the match would be safe In the play
er's pocket, except for thl awkward sect
, tlmt at the inopportune moment, may easily
enoiiKh prove to be the undoing of him who
steadily refuses to practice the bunker art.
Another Instance in which there Is failure
In tighten up the loose joints of agame la
tl, nliori approach shot, especially when
ttu ie are one or-two little sandpits to be
-ciosaed In order to get near the hole.

Many players seem to be unable ta so

W a clear, unbroken run, the players who
do not practice the short loft are a good

tiie fait that tha pilch aid tuu shot hss

Hi..; r incidents in tha game which only

I'i art '--ally Us true sense really consists
In trv'nfc f strengthen the weak points In

mil ' helically with that object alone. It
I .o Ua feaied, however, that this is a

forced by lha amount of Its productive en
ergy. f hem pin. CJaod One rkl.
At times when J. It. Taylor, several times
open champion of Ureal Britain has been
forced to listen to the many deserved com
pliments that have been paid to him by dis
criminating amateurs on the brilliancy of
hi Disable play, tha modest answer of the
professional hss always been that few golf
ers realised how many long hours of steady
practice In acquiring skill at that shot
alone had been spent by him. If, therefore,
efficiency should be the object of all prso
tlce, It Is one of Its essential conditions that
It must be made in detail.
For the main pert, this Is the difference
which distinguishes the methods of tha
professional from the amateur. The pro
fessional I content to practice steadily at
lha few shot In which hla skill is relatively
dsflcinnt, while the amateur Is only In rare
Instance a serious enough student to sacri
fice for a time the sociable amenities of the
friendly match to learn how successfully to
play out of bunker, or the. rough, or to
lay the pitch approach shot dead.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-When amateur
oarsmen came hera In August to compete
In. the national regatta scheduled to be
held on th Potomac river, the "gathering
of sweep, swingers, will be the most rep
resentative one which ever attended a
National Association of Amateur Oarsmen
event Aa a matter of fact the Potomao
Boat club, which organisation I to run
the affair. Is planning the most stupendous
regatta of Its kind on record. Word re
received from tha National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen secretary, Fred Fort
meyer, who I In New York City, states
that club from all parts of 'th country
ara writing for Information concerning the
regatta. Incidentallty, he declare that the
Canadian entry this year will be larger
than ever before.
Soma months ago It waa reported that
everal European club would be invited
to send crew to compete, but now 1t 1
thought that the organisation will ba un
able to have them coma her. Thl I due
to th fact that it will coat the national
associalon too ' much money to have the
foreigner come. A It Is, th expenditure
will reach a large sum.
Already the local committee has started
to raise the necessary money to defray
expense and insure success to the event.

ticularly enthusiastic over the event, and
declare that they expect to have their
hopes resllted in the way of carrying off
thi premier honors this year. . The Can
adians In recent years, have produced
crack crews, but somehow or other they
don't seem to be able to get the better of
the American amateurs. Captain Joseph
Wright captain of the famous Argonaut,
ha written a letter to' a local oarsman,
stating that he alone would bring down
with with a contingent consisting of over 300
persons. They will travel In a special car,
and besides attending the regatta, expect

One of the leading Canadian oarsmen to

Canadian sculler. Other across-the-border
clubs wilt also send large delegations. If
O'Neil comes primed in the best condition,
however,, he should not feel any too sure
of his success. Dorando Miller, the New
