By William Abbott. WAT MILLIGAN of the Links would be an appropriate sobri- auet for Davey Herron, the new national amateur champion, . This giant of @ lad, who correctly times his 218 pounds in the drive, can wal- lop a golf ball further than any other amateur, even further than hard- hitting Bobby Jones, who had t reputation of being the country's longest dri Herron, while fear. fully long off the tee, huge frame so cleverly he is @ wizard at the other end of the game—on the greens, where the keen- est nerve contro] is necessary to make delicate shots of Little putts at trying moments. The riew champion has neither the drilliancy nor variety of shows of Oul- met, Evans, Gardner, Jones, Marston and several other leaders, but he baéks up his own game with wond fu, determination, which proved the one int the Oakm: ‘ohat ship. anything he makes up his mind to d rron's inany Pittsburgh fri y had cut\ away his early lead and finished the-first round on oven terms. “Davey won't crack,” said his gray-halred father, who was the most confident of the Herron support- ers. “The boy has made up his mind to win,” advised the old gentleman, “and he'll come through all right. After leaving Princeton the new champion decided to learn the steel business. Many influential Pittsb: friends volunteered to get him nice €asy arm-chalr jobs, which would |{y, give him plenty of time to golf. Chose offers were very tempting, but Dave had other plans. He was determined to learn the business from the ground the advice of friends he the mastadonic youngster is slowly wending his way through the toughest part of the stoal industry, He has had very little time to get on the links, ‘The national championsh!p was his first tournament this season, Maybe four Red Cross matches around his home town were the extent of Davey's golf during ihe last three years, Heron fafled to even qualify in the national championship at Merion in 1916, This year, however, he came through the great field playing the Most consistent golf of the entire tournament and deserved to win the wiuch coveted title. “It was tough to lose,” drawled Bobby Jon jut I'll be around again next yer, And the seventeen- year-old Atlanta wizard gave an extra puff on a big black cigar to emphasize the warning to all other ptiamateurs. The peppery Southerner has greatly toned down his golfing temperament. Not once did he break @ club at Oakmont after making o poor shut, Bobby had lots of provo- cation in the finals to fare up when hig giant opponent was sinking putts all over the greens, but he wept steady and barely became ex: cited when the going into @ trap just when the young pride of the South had a fine chance to win the hole and reduce Herron’s lead, rheumatism, Barly rains at Oakmont during the meet simost put Chicago Chick out t mi Golf that was exhibited at Oakmont was almost entirely in the air. Greens were 0 severely trapped that run-up shots wi too risky, Those who could master a mashie and pitch well up to flag enjoyed a wide edge. Jimmy Manion of St. Louis, Woody Piatt, George Hoffner and Eddie Cleary of Philadelphia, Ruddy Knep- per of Sioux City, Davey Herron, the new champion, Simpson Dean, were the best of many sensational young- sters who entered the national cham- plonship, A combination of rashness and wonderful pluck alone kept Francis Ouimet in the running for the silver trophy, The former champion” has never fully recovered from influenza contracted last winter while stationed at Camp Devens.

Peacock, won the American Golfer trophy in a match with the two Princeton boys, G. 0. Dean and Richard Haight, who had tied for it last Sunday. Herron also tied with Tewksbury ‘of Philadelphia and Manton of St. Louis for the low score medal in the qualifying round, but when Manton fused to stay over for tie play-off Herron decided to concede the low score medal to Tewksbury and play with Pea- e0ck for the trophy.

HOUGH “a victory nowadays gets the Giants nowhere In pai ticular toward the front, the Sunday affair at the Polo Grounds brought out the prettiest exhibition of pitching that has graced a local com- bat this season, There was a right smart bit of art scattered through the ying end of the pastime also, Hud the fielding been perfect it is possible that this,evenly matched affair might have been going yet, but a break had to come and, unluckily, the blame fell upon the man who had held the Giants in the palm of his hand for nine jong innings. After Zimmerman pad doubled in the tenth an .nfleld tap rolled to Harold Carlson, there was a wild heave to first and—zip! went the pastime, In the matter of figures Toney out- pitched the recently returned aviator, the hits being five and six in New York’s favor, but in the matter of cleverness {t was a dead heat. The youngster made the veteran resort to the whip. On account of his being taken out of baseball to enter the war little was known of Carlson by the 18,000 Sun- day fans at the Polo Grounds, They figured him a green youngster and were amazed at his knowledge and skill. It you will go back a little, though, you will recall that @ youngster by the name of Harold Carlson gave the Giants a terrible trimming two years ago, just when they were going strong. Yes, it’s the same fellow. Carlson quit baseball to enter the army ond was an aviator, Was @ good one, too. “Har- old brought down his two enemy flyers, but did not get the requisite five to make him an ace before Germany quit. But that crowd who saw him perform for the Pirates yesterday will-bay he |» ls an ace, ‘This was to have been a day off, no game having been scheduled, but on account of the numerous postpone- ments awhile back the Giants and Pirates will utilize the spare time to. settle some old disputes to-day and to- morrow. Phil Cooney, the new shortstop whose father used to play with Sam Crane, is expected any day now, and those two young fellows, Baird and Frisch, will have another competitor for that extra infield job, Cooney is sald to be quite a walloper. With the chances of the pennant gone glim~ mering it is very likely that McGraw will take advantage of the situation to give his youngsters a thorough try-out. We al till without word of Shuf- fiin’ Phil Douglas, but McGraw feels certain that the thin bankroll will not last long.
