Southern Golf Tourneys Have Proved Graveyards for "Favorites”
STEWART, "CHANCE CHAMP," AfiAIN WINS TITLE
By Percy H. Whiting.
WELn. well! The "chance
champion” of 1911 has won
the golf championship of
1912. And lie isp't a “chance cham
pion” any more, but the best golf
er in all the South —and the third
man to win a Southern golf cham
pionship‘twice in a row.
The golf tournament ?hat Bill"
Stewart, of New Orleans, won last
year at Nashville was probably the
most Inconclusive one ever played
In the South. The course in the
Bock City, naturally a good one,
had been baked by long continued
droughts out of al! semblance of its
original self. And the week of the
tournament furnished weather that
was mean as original sin. These
ghastly conditions made real play
ing out of the question for average
men. An ordinary 200-yard drive
went 250 or 2SO over the baked clay.
High-pitched approaches. which
would fall dead under ordinary cir
cumstances. bounded as though
played on asphalt. The putting
greens were like wavy Ice. And
ovei this course and under these
conditions Bill Stewart came into
his first championship.
Everybody said it was rat her a
fluke. They admitted that Stewart
was the best under the conditions,
but they didn't care a hang for the
conditions. They all said, too, that
if they could get Stewart on a real
golf course they would skin him I
alive.
The "skinning” didn t conn- off at
Chattanooga. In that tournament
there was a good course and aver
age, if somewhat moist, weather
conditions Also there was the best
field that ever faced a golf starter
in the South. Every ex-champion
was there except one. Every nota
ble player was there from every no
table club. You could count the ex
ceptions on the toes of your put
ter. Oh. yes. and Bill Stewart was
there, but they didn't count him.
He wasn't regarded as one-two
tw.enty-seven with his fellow
townsman, "Rube" Busi. Be wasn't
supposed to class with Nelson
Whitney, a twice champion.
Vet this same Bill Stewart, this
“chance champion." this man who
was the "best under the conditions"
in Nashville, has Just copped an
other championship. He didn't
have any easy row to hoe. either.
It fell to his lot to meet more real
Tartars than an> other man. But
he beat them all.
It look Stewart 37 holes to dis
pose of Nelson Whitney in the
finals. But lie did it finally—no
doubt considerable to the disgust
of Whitney for the report is that

been a veritable merry-go-round
for "dark horses.”
It began with the very first
championship. In this one nobody
knew anything about anybody else,
except that there was a general
suspicion that J. T. Lupton, of
Chattanooga, was the South's best
player. This was a false alarm,
for T put. him out of the tournament
myself (the biggest fluke victory,
by the way-, that the South ever
saw). As soon as the golfers gath
ered it was observed that one play
er seemed to have it all over the
rest. This man was Andrew Man
son. of Darien. Ga. To get an idea
of how hot a favorite he became it
is necessary only to say that some
of the players held an informal
meeting just before the tournament
began and tried to devise some
scheme by which they could bar
him from the event on the ground
that he wan a Scotchman, a real
golfer and too good for the S. G. A.
championship. Oh, he was the
prize favorite of all S. G. A. his
tory! And then blessed if "Bob”
Baugh, of Birmingham, didn’t win
;he low score prize and Albert
Schwartz, of New Orleans, downed
Manson In the semi-finals and went
on to the championship.
I'tlE second tournament is large

scurity. but he report is that the
Texas delegation was supposed to
cop. They didn’t, though, for A.
G. Gaines, the veteran I'hattanoo
gan. canter, d home with the big
(‘•up.
In the third and fourth cham
pionships Andre .v Manson came into
Itis natural golfing inheritance—and
he deserved it. for he is the best
golfer for his inches that the South
ever saw. if lie had the physique
of Carroll. Edrington. Byrd, Stew
art or some of the other cham
pions, he would have all eleven of
the Southern championship cups in
a resplendent row on iiis mantel
piece.
In "naught six” Leigh Carroll
surprised 'em. Carroll has. since
prehistoric days, been one of tile
best golfers in the South. But any
time all the New Orleans golfers
play, as they did in 1906. for the
tournament was played in the Cres
cent City, it is a toss up among
nearly a dozen of them. And cer
tainly Carroll was one of the last
ones suspected of having designs
on the silverware.
The following year came the first
Atlanta tournament. The field was
open enough then. But owing to
the extreme length of Hie course,
its roughness and its briskly roll
ing contour it was believed that
there would be somebody there
good enough to defeat the New Or
leans delegation. Raise alarm! Nel
son Whitney took the prize in one
of the best tournament* the South
« ever knew.
Naturally, Whitney might hav<
When lie arose in the mornings he was
more tired than when ho went to bed.
His limbs ached. He would cough up
great chunks of mucus After eating
his meals he would be in misery for
hours, and some things would not agree
with him at all. Headaches were a
common oc c iirrene.. and continuous
pains in tile appendix His breath was
simply awful and his tongue continu
ously coated.
During the time that this man was
been picked for the winner of the
next tournament. But be wasn’t
picked. Not by a vast majority!
l-’or in 1908 ex-National Champion
11. Chandler Egan, one of the
grandest golfers that the country
ever knew, moved to Louisville to
live, and he was entered from the
Louisville club. When he was. the
Southern golfers threw up their
hands and there were loud cries of
“Help, help!” The Louisville golf
ers were execrated for spoiling a
good tournament with a sure win
ner. Egan won the qualifying
score prize and sailed blandly to
the finals, where Nelson Whitney
defeated him. 4-3! And the Louis
ville golfing delegation hasn’t
looked the same since.
The year 1909 saw the downfall
of another torrid favorite. Eor the
first time in history Ellis Knowles,
of Pensacola. Fla., former intercol
legiate champion and a really great
golfer, played in the tournament.
It was presumed that he had the
thing cinched. But the best lie could
do was to tie for the low score
prize (and lose in the playoff), and
to expire in the semi-finals at the
hands of one of the South’s great
veterans, Jack Edrington. of Mem
phis. Edrington downed Oliver in
the finals and won the tournament.
The 1910 tournament was some
thing of a freak. Ellis Knowles
continued the favorite. And it
looked even more cinchy when F.
G. Byrd. Jack Edrington. champion
of the previous year. and Bill
Stauffer were all taken ill the day
the tournament started. Jack Ed
rington got out of a sick bed, de
feated Knowles, went to bed again
and defaulted. F. G. Byrd awl
Rube” Bush lasted to the finals.
And the latter golfer then became
the rank favorite. But Byrd defeat
ed him with painful ease and
grabbed the title.
Yea. verily, it’s hard to pick a
winner in a Southern golf cham
pion. But you can get rich bet
ting against the favorites.
