HANSON NEW PHYSICAL DIRECTOR AT TULANE By Chirk Evans. H OW misleading the scores of games frequently are! Two players may have had a four on a certain hole; the newspapers duly chronicle the fact and on the face of the returns the playing seems equal, yet the actual playing varied widely In skill. For instance; A drove a beauty and pitched his second nicely on the green. B sliced to tail grass to right; played a poor shot Juat out; pulled a half-topped half-iron to the left-hand edge of the green and holed out, while A misved his putts by & hair’s breadth. Many a time I have landed in practically the same spot as my opponent and kicked into a bunker while he has kicked into the hole. It has been mid that the great fas cination of golf Is its uncertainty, and surely there are a great many vital things connected with the game over w'hich the player has no voluntary control. For instance there is the “luck o’ the draw," a most Important factor in a tournament; for the tw’o side# of the ladder are often vastly different. In addition, there are a thousand and one little thing# that V© so irritating when acting ad versely. One of the latest novelties hi hazards comes from Kansas. In a match there we are told that the ball of on© of th© players was swal lowed by a snake and the hole was lost in consequence. NT7W ORLEANS, LJL, Aug 28.— C. A.
