SPEED RECORDS.

Motor Cyclist Register 115.29 Miles An Hour.

Brooklands, July 23.

Two new records for motor- cycles were made in one event here to-day. In a race for 500 c.c. motor-cycles, the lap re- cord of 111.42 miles per hour, made in 1929, was beaten by C. B. Bickell, riding a Bickell- a speed of Jap, who reached 112.17 miles per hour.

Later; In the same race, "W. J. C. Hewitt, riding an Exe celsior-Jap, bettered this figure by doing 115.29 miles an hoúr.

any luck.

All star players shoot for the pin," or they at least make an attempt to and hole high. "Now, If half of these shots are straight it would mean that a birdie was in sight. It is very difficult to determine what perfect golf should be, but. Fam sure it is far below a round of pär for the reasons just mentioned.

2

The average good golfer to play perfect golf must hot miss any shots, so he must be on the green each time in two and on the par five holes in three. We will say that half of the "time he lays the ball close by the pin and gets the putt i within six feet of the cup. This would take at least nine 'strokes off the par figures, but it is expecting". too much to ask a player to get within six feet of the cup half the time, even with so-called perfect play.

· THE AVERAGING UP OF LUCK.

Let us figure on his doing this a third of the time, and it will bring the perfect score down to six below par figures. This is not, supposed to be a standard for perfect play; but, to my way of thinking, it comes nearer to being the real ́or satisfac- Lory round than mere par figures.

"One can have a lot of luck in playing golf, but I do not take this Into seriona consideration, as luck has a way of averaging up in a day's play or a week's play.

There are many players whom we are in the habit of calling lucky; but usually quite often, in fact—' they have something more than luck to back up their claims. I. have always noticed that It is the best players who seem to get the most breaka" to come their way. This is satural, as the secret of success lies in giving the ball a chance" each

time.

There is one thing that can be said in favour of the man who has holed his tee shot, and that is that he had the nerve to play for the pin. Many golfers are content to land some place on the green, but the expert golfer is not content with this if it is possible to do a little
