Iall, | F the scason of 1915 was in a way disappointing, so far as winning | went, luck was with me the following year, which 'made up for ”"'l lean one that preceded it. I started the year by winning the North and South open championship at Pinehurst, beating out Tom Kerrigan and Clarence Hackney, who tied for second place. | This tournament ey proved very interes ing, when a bad putt is made. In the national championship, played that year at the Minikahda Club of Minneapolis, I finished four strokes back of the . winner. whb turned up in Chick Evans. Later he won the amateur championship as well, and so had the distinction of being the first and only this country who ever has held both titles the same year. Chick’'s winning total was 286, which was—and _still is—the lowest total ever scored in the championship. Up to the time that I finished my was next best, and as Kvans, being an_amateur, was not eligible for money prizes, I hoped. for first- prize money, e if it didn't carry the championship with it. But in the end Jock Hutchison beat me to it. Jock was a late stdrter and came in well almost at the last with a great round of 68. 1 started the round leading him by five strokes, but he picked up six on me this one round and so nosed. out first prize. This was the first 68 ever scored in the national championshi Squared Accounts Later. Later on that season I managed to square accounts with Jock. That n- pionship, which was played that year for the first time. The Siwanoy Country Club of New York was the scene of the tournament, and Jock It wa a nip-and-tuck battle from the first tee in the morning to the last green in the afternoon. We had both been playing good golf. As we neared the finish I found myself 2 down with 3 to play. but managed to win the last three holes in a row and won the match by one hole. Jock and I have played lots of golf together, sometimes as partners, sometimes opposing each other, and I want to say that there are and have ant players than Yet he never has nal cham- plonship. He never yet has caught luck with him at the right time. And a player does have to be lucky to win a golf championship. T don't mean, of course. that luck nothing else with it will wip, also may add there have bedn few, if any, fluke champions. There have been some to win unexpectedly in one - who never before or.aft- Q 1 threatened to win again, this applies to both amateurs and | professionals. But if you are of a nd to check back over the circum- nces of their winning, you are more than apt to find that they wer playing very fine golf indeed to wir in that particular tournament. “Golf Luck” Explained. Chiefly what is meant by golf luck is the good fortune to find yvourself | playing at the top of vour game at the right time. Generally this means striking the tournament a little be- vour beet, but striking it as you climbing to the top of your best form. This is one of the reasons why it has come to be so generally said that the medalist in a tournar rarely wins the chief match play The chances are, if he is rea of a man who loves tennis WHAT GREAT RACKETS they Autographs! So great that they have outnumbered every 9!11:_: racket at each National Singles Cham- pionship since 1920. Somewhere among them is one that will improve your tennis. One with a balance that suits you to a hair. One with a “fecl” so friendly it makes you play your finest game. Remember— only with a fine racket can you develop your ability to the fullest.

Not very long since, a group of golfers were talking about the diffi- culty of winning a golf champlionship these days when there are so many good players. The question was put to me as to whether, when I won the open championship 'in 1921, 1 was essentially a better golfer than two or three years before when I had finished behind the winner. My answer was that I was not. There wasn't a shot that I had in the bag when I won that I couldn't have played as well two, three and maybe more bef: But on the other occasions the combination for winning had not been set right. | Little things that could hardly be | es had cost me strokes, omebody else was doing same thing and getting the ben better breaks and so ng better.

It's pretty much as Bobby Jones remarked after the qualifying round the amateur championship at After looking over the draw, which included, in addition to practically all of the best amateurs in this ceuntry, three or four mem- bers of the British Walker Cup team who were here at the time, Bobby remarked that he couldn’t figure how | anybody could win. By this he| meant,” of course, that no matter whom one might pick as a possible winner, a check down through the probable matches he would have to | play, left you under the impression that there was nobody who could be | figured to meet and defeat the list | of star players that would have to be_encountered.

Digestion slows up, elimination becomes faulty, constipa- tion , which in turn is responsible for nearly all the functional disturbances and discases that help to make the average length of life fifty-four years instead of seventy, eighty or ninety as it should be. Keep the abdominal muscles resilient, active, well developed and the chances are you will live long in health and happiness. ‘You can do it by devoting & few minutes each day to a short series of simple, casy exercises described on page 43 of Physical Culture for April. Are You Overweight? Joe Harschberger weighed 326 pounds on March 7th, 1925. He had either to reduce or die. Ten months later he weighed 150 jpounds, his skin like a baby'’s, constipation gone, his heart stronger than the doctor’s who pronounced him 100%. The method he used is easy, practical, sure fire. He did not starve himself. He did not work him- self most to death. He took no medicine. He simply stopped making mistakes he had been making all his life. If you’re fat you are making the same mistakes and you'll pay the penalty eventually—sick- ness, misery, carly death. Read this method in Physical Culture for April. It saved his life. It will save yours too. . “Tell Me What to Eat” Physical Culture, through its Pure Food Department in charge of Milo Hastings, great food specialist, has definitely eliminated the need for guessing as to what are good foods and what are not good foods. Our Pure Food Department has brought Science to the food laboratory and by means of scientific food tests has definitely de- termined the health building qualities of the various foods that make up the diet of the average person. In this issue Mr. Hastings discusses the food value of toast, the effect of wine on health, the nature and value of chicory in table beverages, the truth about mayonnaise, cow’s milk versus feeding formulas for babies, and also in a separate article he gives an un- usually enlightening discussion of cane sugar, its good and bad qualities as an item of daily diet. The last item alone is worth a hundred times the cost of the magazine to anyone who is interested in food as related to health. An Infallible Spring Tonic Winter certainly runs you down.

S “ ECEMBER of last year I was brought home from the hospital after spending nine months there. Eight of those nine months I could not get out of the bed myself, and had to be lifted into a wheel chair. When I came home I was in a bad condition—no appetite, stomach out of order, con- stipated, emaciated and in fact there was nothing about me that was right. “One day I saw a copy of Physical Culture magazine. Being a druggist I had no confidence in it, but I read it largely out of curiosity. All the time my condition was getting worse, so finally I decided to give physical culture a trial.... and the improvement! At present I have a splendid appetite, I am getting stronger, my constipation is gone, and I feel that I have added forty years to my life.” 0. B. KIRK ‘Woodland, Calif.
