A LAI TO GOLFERS WHO PLAY LAWN TENNIS : Every golf player knows what the Haskell ball has done to help his favorite • sport. You all know how much our ball has improved the length of your game. We are now making a new ball for lawn tennis, which promises to improve the sister game as much as the Haskell bail improved golf. The English championship lawn tennis balls have been admitted on both sides to be better than those in the American market, and we have followed the English specifications very closely in making up the Goodrich championship lawn tennis ball. That the Goodrich ball has met with entire satisfaction among the players, has been amply proven by the hosts of voluntary testimonials to its fine qualities which we have received. In resiliency, in covering, in evenness of bound, and most of all in lasting qualities, the Goodrich championship ball is ahead of any other in the market. Although a new product, its merits have already been recognized by.the official approval of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association, whose executive committee, after careful tests, has admitted it for use in tournaments played under the rules and auspices of the U. S. N. L. T. A. Already this season the Goodrich balls have been used in the following important championship tournaments in addition to hosts of meetings of minor importance : Vermont State Championship, at St. Johnsbury, Vermont. North Dakota State Championship, at Grand Forks, N. D. South Dakota State Championship, at Sioux Falls, S. D. Missouri State Championship, at St. Louis, Mo. the isbni Texas State Championship, at Beaumont, Texas. ;ne change Northwestern Iowa Championship, at Emmetsburg, Iowa. East New Jersey Lawn Tennis Association. Long Island South Side League. We have issued a very useful pamphlet, entitled the "Goodrich Hand- book of Lawn Tennis for 1904,'' a copy of which we would be glad to send to any one who wishes to know more about the Goodrich balls. This little book on the isian contains over a hundred pages of valuable information and records, including the and in the: official rules of the game, many portraits of the champion players, and a chapter has produce of instruction on the game, illustrated with snap-shots of ex-champion R. D.Wrenn in action. It is a Hv Clubs using the Goodrich balls are supplied without charge with score sheets and draw cards for use in their tournaments. Special price to clubs and for tournament use.

N wholly different vein from the author's last I novel, The Right of Way, comes this exquisite ro- mance, delightful in con- ception, swift and com- pelling in interest, and written in the finished style of this great novelist. The story recounts the love of two Huguenot From "A Ladder of Swards " — Reduced.— Copyrig-ht, 1904, by Harper & Brothers. refugees, their fugitive life on the island of Jersey in the British Channel. Later the scene changes to England, where exciting intrigue and startling situations in the palace of Queen Elizabeth result in repeated dangers for the faithful lovers, but they finally escape the haz- ardous favor of the great queen and are united. The scenes on the island of Jersey are of idyllic freshness and beauty, and in the Seigneur of Rozel, the lord of the island, the author has produced a character of delightful humor and braggadocio. It is a thoroughly rounded, satisfying story, written with brilliancy and charm of style. Illustrated by the Kinneys. Post 8vo, Cloth, $1.50 HARPER (EL BROTHERS. PUBLISHERS.

If There are enough uncertainties in a game of golf with- out being compelled to speculate on the varying qualities of the ball. 11 A Haskell Ball is just about the surest thing in golf, and its popularity is largely due to the fact that its use does inspire confidence. The player soon learns its possibilities and particularly relies on the long true Haskell flight to help the score. 11 From the rubber core to the tough gutta percha cover the Haskell is perfectly made, and likewise differently made from any other ball.

  • The Guide Contents
    Welcome to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the BMW Championship / Western Open Records & Statistics Guide for 2020. This is the 31st edition of a guide compiled, and originally limited in circulation, since 1990, when the WGA’s own Western Open Media Guide was confined to a few pages. There are three main sections: 1. A detailed record book, covering the 116 playings of the championship under all its names from 1899 onward. Contents for the following 56 pages are below left. A new category covers course records set in the championship since 1975 (page 49). 2. A year-by-year championship history, updated and corrected from the 2019 edition. Details of playing statistics (driving distance, fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts, sand saves) for all players are featured for the last four tournaments. The results for 2016 through 2019 are thus in two-page spreads. 3. An alphabetical register of contestants. Research continues on players from the early days with similar names, with many of the inconsistencies cleared up for this edition. Since 1990’s first edition, focusing on the championship’s modern-day Chicago era, interest in golf records and statistics, the Western Open included, has grown. Neglect in keeping any but the most rudimentary records for the Western until it returned to Chicago in 1962, and often for years after, meant the records in this Guide, inspired by Bill Inglish’s original Masters Tournament record book, had to be compiled independently. The records and statistics in this Guide are derived from an exclusive database of over 14,820 player reports, gleaned from an extensive file of contemporary newspaper and magazine reports compiled on trips to 20 cities, from Buffalo to Memphis to Los Angeles.
