Most Difficult Shot I Ever Saw N winning the Red Cross tournam cnt of 1917, held in place of the na- | pton, I tional open championship because of the world war, I had to beat George McLean, the Grassy Sprain pro, doing so after a tie which necessitated an eighteen-hole play-off. McLean is the author of the most difficult play I ever saw pulled off. In a match with me at the Great Neck, Long Island, course, George drove into the rough on the seventh hole, which, as nearly as I can re- member, is some 430 or 440 yards in length. his second to the leit and into some trees. When he came up to his ball, he found it in the most vexatious lie I ever have seen. It was resting close 10 a tree and between two roots, cach vrojecting two and a half or three inches above the ground and only a few inches apart. The spot was 150 yards from the cup. 1 should say that even the most skilled player could not get the ball out of such a lie and, at the same time, obtain distance more than once in a hundred times. ome day, take two sticks of wood of the thickness of those roots, place them as I have shown the roots lay and try to play a ball from between them. ~Youw'll get an idea of the diffi- culty that confronted George. To make the green, Lis problem was 1o strike just in front of the root farthest from “the green and lift the ball over the rcot nearest to it. The space between the ball and the rear root was of the slightest. Only by a perfect stroke could he hope to cut his club into that narrow opening. McLean used a loftipg iron and 1aid his ball three feet from the cup for an easy put. My Most Accurate Playing. Some years ago I was one of a foursome that played regularly in Sunday morning matches on the late Isaac Guggenheim's private nine- hole course. The mdgnate hzd in- stalled a very pretty links in his big estate at Port Washington, L. L, re- taining Bill Mackie as his personal professional. Jsaac Guggenheim's son, Edmund, his secretary, Clarence Myers, Mackie and myself inade up the weekly four- some. We had some very interesting sport. This was particularly true of one hole, the s.xth, which I found not only interesting, but profitable, due to some speculative tendencies on the part of young Guggenheim. The sixth hole had been named “the Coquette.” It was a_ small punch bowl affair, up a hill. The green was in two levels, the first of which ex- tended several feet on all sides of the cup and then sloped sharply up to the sseond. Fue distance-from tee to He followed this by hooking flag was 135 yards, a nice mashie shot, with par at three. The first time we came to “the Coquette,” Edmund Guggenheim bet me three to one I couldn’t sink my ball in two. I won the wager. Thercafter, he alwavs offered the | same odds. 'Seven times hand run- ning I made my two. The eighth time I got the hole in one. (Copyright, 1924.) BIG MEET CALLED OFF. CHICAGO, February 23.—Gen.

PARIS, February A serious conflict over the choice of the tennis ball to be used in the competitions of the Olympic games has resulted in the resignation of Alan H. Muhr as secretary of the French Tennis Fed- eration, and may cause France to go unrepresented in this branch of the Olympic competitions. When the tennis federation learned that the French Olympic committee had adopted a tennis ball of Ameri- can make for the matches next July it informed the Olympic committee- men that unless the American ball was withdrawn the French tennis team would not take part in the games. To this the Olympic commit- tee rejoined with an expression of | regret, but said its decision must stand. Frantz Reichel, secretary, and Alan H. Muhr, international secretary of the French Olympic committer, are being bitterly assailed and openly. cused by members of the tenuis fed- eration with having adopted a ball of American make for the purpose of favoring the American tennis players over the English and French. Both Reichel and Muhr retort that their only desire is to give tho Olympic competitors the benefit of the best available material, adding that the American tennis players need no fa. vors and will be able to look aftet themsclves. without undue privileges. e NOTED HORSEMAN DEAD.
