GOSSIP
The often termed "great" Walter Hagen is by no means a miracle man. His cleverness and efficiency in golf came through persistant study and practice, which involved to no small extent the correcting and re- building of the old style clubs, It is a fact that Mr. Hagen's clubs were the key to his wonderful abili ties. Long before he was in a own dubs, position to build his others were rebuilt and changed to his liking. His study and experi- mental work lasted years, but it helped him, and finally he perfect- ed what is to-day the acme in Golf Clubs.
Correct equipment is an item of utmost importance.
To-day the New and Improved clubs, designed and built by Mr. Hagen, are sold on the market at prices equal and in many cases bel- ter than other clubs.

FROM A. WALLIS MYERS
New York, September 10. Crawford's remarkable collapse in yesterday's final of the Ameri- can championship, when he appear-| ed to have Perry tamed, was the to- pic of conversation in sporting cir- cles here to-day.
Perry is warmly praised for his brilliantly sustained attack, and there is no desire to qualify his triumph, but Americans are ask- ing why Forest Hills should have been associated this year in both its national championships with a virtually annartial finish.
For both Mrs. Moody and Craw ford, the respective champions al Wimbledon, were apparently dazed

"Magnificent Cabhorse."
H. W. Austin's cablegram of con gratulations to F. J. Perry on the winning of the American lawn ten- nie championship was briefly and curiously worded,
It said simply: "Magnificent cabhorse, well played!"
There is a story behind this. Early in the season a more - than usually outspoken critic of Perry and Austin said that, in one match, they played like decrepit cabhouses. They now include "cabhorse? in every message they send to one an- other.
