They blamed, him for all the trouble, saying that either he had power to prevent the strike and didn't, or that he did not have i the power to keep hie players in line; In either case he was not the sort they wanted among their num bers.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JUNE 10. 1912. 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 there is no ext: a love lost between t he I woof t hem • • 4 THE Southern champions ups have furnished more "chance champions" than you could swing a„> stick at The S. G. A. events have “QUAKER DID HAND I WILL SWEAR TO IT” Strong Assertion Made by Mr. G. A. Smedley, at Coursey & Munn’s Drug Store The home of G.

For over three years he had been suffering from catarrh of the bowels and hie appendix. 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 -1 ly shrouded in historical ob 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.
