In fact, to me his temper was & good sign. He never showed the slightest tendency to fight with his opponent; it was always a case of fighting with nimself, if vou could call 1t fighting, because he knew he could and should play better, and his outbursts simply meant that se long he was not satisfied with his game, he would go on fmproving. I knew that, naturally enpugh, when he got « little more experience and poise, he would learn how to hold himself in check all right. This, of course, is just and those early experiences are one of the reasons why he is the great zolfer he is today.
