A Ric psss netted yards. Another OA k.tl of men in any phase of sport lias ever had such a pro- longed and uninterrupted run for their money. For nearly twenty-nine years they have been supreme. It was at Sandwich in 1.I4 that J. 11.

Taylor first commenced the series of brilliant achievements which earned for them the title of "The Invincible Three." A better pseudonym would have been "The Three Musketeers." They are no longer invincible, as has been demonstrated beyond question this year, and never more so than at ooilcote Park the other day. when two of them even failed to qualify for the match-piny stages of the Professional Championship at Walton Heath. Vardon was the first to go down in the maelstrom. For years his putting bus been so notoriously bad. at times almost farcical, that we naturally attribute failure to bis mysterious weakness in this particular department of the gniiie.

On this ocasion it was something totally different. His putting was not such as to transport one into ecstasies of delight, nor, ou the other blind, was it franticallv immoral: it was iust ordinary. Vardon is very much like the everyday golfer who shrugs his shoulders and says, with touch of bitterness, "Well, if it isn't one darned thing it is another." Hilling the many years Vardon has played in nil conditions and in all cir-ciiinstnnees, he has always struck enthusiasts as the one golfer who never failed to judge instantly the distance from any given spot to the pin, and to gauge accurately the kind.of shot required to cover the intervening space. It cmnes instinctively, like that of the expert marksman, who can tell at a glnuce the range and the elevation of any shot. But, mysterious to relate.

Vardon failed conspicuously at Wood-cote because over and over again he was utterly wrong iu his conception of the approach shots, whether long or short He was only able to account for it by the fact that be was nimnig at large open greens, where all the obstacles were on the flanks, and. consequently, there was nothing definite in between to give him the clue to the distance to he negotiated. Vardon has a predilection to the old cross hazard, which certainly simplifies the shot up to the green, but it surely can not be pretended for a single moment that he was wholly deceived by the Woodcote. Vdrdon has played on too many courses where the cross hazard has vanished to make his explanation of failure ring true. Th" reason must be sought elsewhere, and it is to he found in the fact that in hia hands each club has become lest powerful, and that unwittingly he de-ceivej himself when within striking distance of the.

objective. Of course, when a man misses six-inch and eighteen-inch putts as Braid did there can be no hope for him; he is beyond all human aid. It seems a thousand pities that a golfer, who is still able to hit the ball vast distances with both wood and iron should bow the knee when it comes to a tiny putt. John I-ow laid it down recently that the Americans excel because "on the putting green tliey do not have the strange diversities of. opinion which seem to tske possession of many of Hnglish players whenever they near the holes.

The Americans stand up and hit the ball in a natural manner, instead of assuming curious postures which seem to indicate that the hitting of a ball in a straight line becomes much more difficult when it has only to be hit a few feet instead of 200 yards. The Fngilsh are" brave at the hitting of long, free shot; why should we bend the knee, and grovel before wretched little stroke which is played from the teeing ground?" How very true of the vast majority of British professionals. The weird attitudes tliey strike and the cowardice displayed in hitting the hall near the hole are sufficient to make one go hot from very shame. Mitchell is another who, when lie iias the putter in his hand, makes your heart leap into your mouth from downright fright. Many heliee that he is as mortally afraid of his putter as the man who handles a live bomb for the first time.

Whoever saw Hagen, or for that matter, any first-class American professional, exhibit sigus of nervousness when the holing out comes to be done? The putts may not go- in. but Ilngen, instead of becoming pusillanimous, grows more courageous. It is tbe right mental attitude. Mitchell has been suffering so long from a species of putting introspection that one has almost begun to despair of bis ever regaining that exquisite touch and that buoyant confidence which, three years ago, were his to a very marked degree. What is the earthly use of crashing the hall 300 yards down the course if you take four more shots from 80 yards.

This is Mitchell. It is very significant that with the passing of the old brigade. Duncan and Mitckcll should not have been able to make more of their op: portunitios. They seem unable to grasp the crown that others have reluctantly shed. Neither has accomplished a single thing of note this year, and at Woodcote both had the narrowest shaves of their lives: they each qualified with just one shot to spare.

It was a desperate business. All the honors have again gone to the younger school of golfers, who since Havers gave them the cue al Troon, in June, have received fresh inspiration and encouragement. K. Ball, of IjlngleyTark. Iteckenham.

the new Keut champion, has foliowed up his 'recent triumph by sweeping the board at Woodcote. Ball, like his brother, the late Tom Ball, is a beautiful putter, who stands up to the ball and hits it iu a perfectly natural way. There ia no grovelling on the ground to inspect the line; no picking up of imaginary obstacles; no walking to and fro to observe things thnt are not tljere. Ball just hits the ball in the simplest possible manner, and this is the keynote to all successful putting. Although the regret will be universal that Braid will not be seen on hir own course, the forthcoming championship with Taylor, Herd.
