"old A Lichn nge.l. I I I 1 The following letter having to do with the big professional tournament beginning tomorrow at Slwanoy should be of Interest to a number Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: As an experienced golfer who It played ten years I should like you to tell me whether it would be worth while to seee the professional match- play tournament at Slwanoy, which. as stated in The Eagle, will run through the week beginning Tuesday. I have not attended any big tournaments for several years, and as I have some time off this week, thought I might profit by secelng the pros, play, but am In doubt If I could learn much from them. Also, which pair should I follow on Tuesday, the first day W.

M. G. Brooklyn, October Before answering your question It might be worth while to express doubt that von are. as vim think. perlenced golfer," and that you have piayeu ten years, our question wouiu indicate that you have played only about ten minutes and that your "experienced" quality exists only in your Imagination.

Any golfer who has played ten years and does not understand the value to his game of seeing such players as Hagen. Barnes, Smith, Dowling, Hoff-ner and the others who will compete at Slwanoy is evidently too thickheaded to profit either by any advice given here or by anything he might see at slwanoy. You are probably like a certain Brooklyn golfer who has been playing more than ten years and whose proud boast is that he has yet to attend a tournament of stnrs. Only last spring, when asked whether he Intended to take in the metropolitan championship at Nassau, he made this repiy: "No. sir: you don't get me down there.

I can get more out of playing my little thirty-six Holes saiuriiuy man seeing Kirkby. Marston or any of the other nign llgnts perrorm. i made that my rule years ago, and I am sticking to it." ine consequence is mat tnis piaycr Is unable to talk Interestingly about any of the big players, and he cannot understand wnat is meant ny tnose who converse around him about the neculiarlties of this or that big golfer's style, simply because he cannot form through never haling seen Instructive Case of Mr. Harris. it anv wonder that this self- satisfied golfer has a style that would him may be placed the case of Mr.

Harris of the New York Coif Club. who had never swung a club until the national championship at Ekwanok the game, that he came up to The Eagle reporter on the links to learn how to score the shots. Harris oecaine so lnraiuaieu wmi the game that he followed the tournament to the end, and as soon as he lied to 1 mil he look up tin As lus first inn reunions of the swing in golf wore derived from seeing such masters as Travers, Ouimet, Allusion, livers, row lies, vturion, uuu-ford and others, he had such clear mental pictures of what he should do that within a year he was playing with an ease, grace and finish that caused more tnan one nenoiaer to question his newness in the game and to force Harris to appeal to The Eagle observer to Drove his ignorance onlv a few months before at Ekwanok. It Is doubtful whether any one of his club-mates, though the club Is more than ten years old, has as thoroughly orthodox a swing as Harris. in view or Harris experience ami that of others, the! writer of the above letter can do nothing better than spend all his spare time this week at Siwu- avall If he goes there with the Idea that his own game is so good as to be beyond improvement.

The thing for him to do is to admit at the start that he is not far from the duffer class, which prooaniy is tne case, juagmg from the tone of his letter. Coming to the last question asked. It is hard to choose the best pair to follow where there as so many excellent players, for it must be remem- oeren mat tnose wno win iee in to morrow are the very pick of the coun- professumals. having come igh the qualifying rounds in their various sections. With tne amateur, cnicK rivans, holding the open title, the ranking pro of the country so far as titles is concerned is Walter C.

Hagen of Rochester, who is the metropolitan and the Western champion. He should he a goou man to waicn. aimougn tne match between him and James H. Thomson of Philadelphia does not promise much in the shape of a con- classed from the very start. Barnes Ranks Well Up.

As a real contest, perhaps, the Jim irnes and George Fotherineham match may furnish a closer struggle, as the latter waa several times the champion of South Africa and is said well of late. Barnes was tied with Hagen and Hotrner in the metropolitan open at Garden City last spring and haa been right on Hagen's heels during the season. The draw for the llrst round can be found in The Eagle of last Friday. One la quite at a loss in suggesting what will be good matches, for the pros ofothe country have never competed before In match play, and hence there is no "dope' on which to base nredictions. However, along about Thursday, after two days of thirty-six hole matcn play eacn, mere ougnt to be some developments Indicating a line of prophecy.

his contest should spur the players do their utmost, for never in this ountrv have the paid golfers had the opportunity to play for such prizes as the liberality of Rodman Wanamaker has made possible In financially backing this first championship of the Professional Golfers Association of the United States. The extent of the prizes may be judged from the following list: nri7.e at 1125. four I. rl.es at eight prizes at $60, sixteen prizes at $50: grand total, 12.580. Mr.

wanamaaers mea in onering hese prizes is to give Americans a chance to see the big professionals in match play. His view is that the public ought not to be deprived of the fascinating qualltlea of match play, so well Illustrated in amateur tournaments, in connection with the play of the professionals. Such opportunity Is provided In Great Britain by the News of the World annual tournament, and the competition at Slwanoy this week Is modeled on that. That everv part of the country hove a fair trial for hese pnzes. the association of professionals portioning representation at Slwanoy to each section in the ratio of its membership in the association.

By this scheme the thirty-two players competing this week were divided as follows: Metropolitan section. 12; Middle States. Southeast.

THE EAGLE FORECAST MISS STIRLING'S WIN Singularly Accurate Prediction Relative to New Champion Back in 1914. That The Bugle estimati the style of Alexa Stirling, the woman goir champion of the t'nited States, was vindicated last Saturday when she won the final at Belmont Spring from Miss Caverly, will not be doubted by those who recall the opinion of the game as published In The Kagle of Wednesday, September It). 1914, when therehad been played only the qualifying round on Monday and the first round of match play on Tuesday. Although Miss Stirling was defeated In tl first round by Miss Georgian Bishop, the medalist.

The Eagle judgment as to the future of Miss Stirling was thus "Much comment was made regarding the style of Miss Alexa Stirling, the Atlanta school girl, who plavs with her auburn hair tied school-girl fashion. She probably playi her irons In a more classically correct manner than any other contestant. Her driving style is the linest to be seen at Xassau this week with the exception of that of Miss Hyde. "Miss Stirling is only a slip of girl as yet, and her driving lacks the force it Is certain to gain with advancing years and strength. It will be hard, indeed, to find a flaw In her swing on the tee.

If "form" Is any criterion by which to judge lier future, Miss Stirling ought to be the titleholder in the near future." Two years may, indeed, be called the near future, and Miss Stirling in establishing herself as the foremost feminine golfer In the country has proved the truth of the contention that everything elso being equal, form will tell in the long run. Miss Caverly bad the lead for a brief time in the Saturday final when on the 198-yard second hole her tee shot wns within twBlty feet of the pin. while Miss Stirling required two to get the carpet. This lead the Philadelphia champion lost on the 600-yard fourth bv slicing her second and flubbing her third, while Miss Stirling was straight to the green In three to square. On the 137-yard fifth hole, Miss Caverly lost by being trapped beyond the green from the tee, Miss Stirling taking the lead.

When Miss Stirling overplayed the green on her second on the 327-yard sixth hole Miss Caverly evened things again. Bv sinking a thirty-foot putt on the ninth Miss Stirling got a lead of 1, hut Miss Caverly halved the last out hole so that the coming champion was only one up at the turn. Things looked had for the Southern girl when her second on the tenth of piny, and her friends were In alarm until a local rule was produced which allowed her to drop without penalty. From this new lie she chipped up for a single putt which gave her the hole, increasing her lead to 2. Although she outdrove Miss Stirling by thirty yards on the eleventh hole.

Miss Caverly threw away the hole by topping her chip shot and losing 6 to 6, becoming 3 down.
