\ » I l . few years' of my life have been and, therefore, I have had but little time to follow other players’ games. Last week, however, In the Western at Homewood, Mr. All lsj put me so abruptly out of tho game that I had ample time to follow the matches and could not see why so many Interested people did not disturb me and make me nervous. Players, however, are not much disturbed by a watching multitude, and they usually play their best games at such times. If 1 do much more acceptable to the player to have a single Individual directly behind or in front of me. This is the commonest mistake made by the in nocent spectator, for he wants to watch the ball's line of flight. This Is especially bothersome to me on the putting green. I love the strange quiet when the shot is being exe cuted, and the buzzing comments of hundreds of voices as the body of people begins to move along. Now and then one hear3 a woman, un acquainted with the etiquette of golf, lifting her voice in .hurried speech above the breathless quiet of the crowd watching the execution of a difficult shot. This makes it hard for the player, and i’ Is all the worse when the loud speech concerns some thing utterly foreign to golf. Player Should Ignore Crowd. The player should never notice the gallery except as a whole; singling out individuals is a mistake. The spectators of other sports are usually stationary, but the golf gallery moves around the course after the player.-'. This frequently obliges the player to pass through the gallery to his ball, and then he is usually grasped from all sides by his friends; at such times they tell him that they have a bet on him, or make some other ri - mark equally encouraging when he is playing badly. This is very bad for the player, and there is nothing mot likely to prevent concentration of at tention upon his game. Personally, I like to talk to peoph in the gallery when I am playing, bui j the more successful players never do. At such times 1 like to see my friends and I hope that they like to see me. 1 “LET WILLARD GET A REP,” WIRES BURNS TO JONES LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2.—Tommy [ Burns, manager of Arthur Pelky, and ! Tom Jones, who looks after the inter , ests of Jess Willard, are booked to hook up in an interesting battle of in- j vectives and near-blows within a day or two. Jones wants to match Willard against Pelky, but Burns in a telegram to-day says that Willard must go get a reputa tion before presuming to challenge a champion “Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky wants to meet,’’ said Burns. “Smith beat Willard, and then again, Charley Miller shaded the Kansas scrapper. Let him get a ‘rep’ for himself. - ' This sort of language is the sort that makes Jones glad he is alive, for he thrives on argument. “When did Pelky whip Willard or any body of consequence until he landed a lucky punch on Luther McCarty?’’ asks Jones. "Willard can whip Pelky. and Burns can name his own terms. Pelky took one beating from Willard and wants no more.’’ and Her Pals Oopyrlght, TWfl. TntemaflanaJ Nava Rerrtea.
