Probably what won him the match was the ex- cellence of his short approaches, com- bined with Travis's unusual weakness on the green. It did not appear as ii the long-handled club had much to do with the result. Generally Travis got a good ball off the tee, and his direction was for the most part fairly accurate. WALTER .1.

Baugh, of the Southern Golf Association, declared the tournament to have been the most successful in the history of the or- ganization. Four years ago, he said, there were not more than one-third the number of entries. The play, he added, showed conclusively that Southern golfers are learning the game. There are more expert players than there were in the South three or four years ago. Then, said Mr. Baugh, it was always a foregone con- clusion that Mr. Manson would be the championship winner, but the close rub given him by Mr. Hardee indi- cates that others are fast developing the same proficiency.

Price thirty-five cents, net (Postage 2c ) No one will deny that this consistently brilliant player, Mr. Walter Travis, owes his championship honors to-day to his extraordinary putting.

HERD and HARRY YARDON Cloth. $3.50. net (Postage 22c.) Illustrated by 26S Ac/ion Photographs The author has been fortunate in securing Mr. Harold H. Hilton to write a few words on each of the amateurs, criticising their game as he sees it. As Mr. Hilton is the only amateur who has twice won the Open Cham- pionship, and has a most keen power of observation, besides vast experience of the game, his views are a great addition and help to the correct interpreta- tion of the Photographs. From these pictures he can see the stance at a glance, as each Golfer is standing on a square of four feet divided into six-inch squares ; and he need not be constantly wondering if he is on the right lines and is standing as his model does, or following his methods.
