Literature Cannot
Be Produced
Amid the City’s
Turmoil
By JOHN BURROUGHS, Author
and Naturalist
LIVING in the city is a discordant
thing, an unnatural thing.
The city is a place to which
one goes to do business. It is a
place where men overreach each
other in the fight for money. But
it is not a place
one

m which
can live.
Sometimes I
am worried by
the thought of
the effect that
life in the city
will have on
coming genera
tions. All this
grind and rush
and roar of the
subway and the
s u r face cars
must have some
effect on the
children of New Yorkers. And that
effect cannot be good.
And what .effect can it have on
our literature? It might produce, I
suppose, in the writer’s mind, a
sense of the necessity of haste, a
passionate desire to get his effect as
quickly as possible. But can it give
him sharpness of intellect and keen
ness of aesthetic perception? I’d
like to think so, but I can’t.
LITERATURE MUST HAVE RE
POSE, AND THERE IS NO REPOSE
IN NEW YORK SO FAR AS I CAN
SEE.

HOW ONE GAN
SUCCEED IN GOLF
K68p Your Eye and Mind on
the Shot.
CONCENTRATION ESSENTIAL
In Fact It la the Keynote and Ultimate
Step to Succeaa—Walter J. Travia a
Taciturn Man—Always Believes He
Is Not There to Be Beaten.
In golf more than any other form of
sport the contestant must keep his
thoughts on the matter In hand. Con
centration is the keynote and the ulti
ma n step to success. Can It he irn
aginod that a billiard player is not fo
cusing the whole of his mind on the
shot to he played or that a sprinter is
going to look l.in-lc fifty yards from the
tape to see who is closest to him? If
is hardly probable.
Why. then, should the golfer in this
hardest matter of all permit his
thoughts to wander from that supreme
state of centering his mind on the ball
and on that alone? Golf often has been
called an unsociable game, and it is
true that to play it well requires a cer
tain degree of abstention from any
thing that tends to remove the mind
from the game.
A more taciturn man than Walter .1.
Travis has seldom been seen on the
link.-. He takes the stand that when
1 a man is playing a match he is not
there to be beaten, but to put forth hi3
I utmost efforts to win. and as a means
to this end tie cannot allow himself to
be distracted by any outside factor. It
is a result of bis intense concentration,
lie g. es riaht ahead and thinks of
nothing but the game with a mental
state of deep seriousness and determi
nation. Many others might be men
tioned who take the same stand, among
them Jerome I>. Travers. Perhaps one
of the contributing reasons to Chick
Evans' chronic semifinal habit is this
matter of too much sociability. He
permits ids mind to be removed from
some of bis shots by mixing too much
with the spectators
It is not possible to top a ball badly
if the eyes are nut removed from the
] sphere Many times tlie concentration
is so intense that the desire to follow
the flight of the hall is evinced a frac
tion of a second too soon, and in that
Infinitesimal time the stroke is ruined
if the player would remember that
it does no barm to watch the spot
where the ball was and that he lias a
caddie to follow the ball he would not
top so many, either from the tee or
through the green Especially in a
bunker must the player devote all his
mind to getting out The usual tend
ency is to look up, probably induced
f,y anxiety or the abnormal difficulty
of lie. Again the player should never
torget that the essence of success in
tile stroke is keeping the eye and mind
on tile shot. In this case, however, the
eye should be kept on the sand an inch
behind the ball.
COACH COURTNEY TO RESIGN.
Cornell’s Great Rowing Leader Says
This Is His Last Year as Mentor.
The blow which Cornell men have
feared would fall all too soon Is to de
scend at the close of the present row
ins; season. Charles E. Courtney, dean :
of American rowing coaches and fur
thirty years more or less head coach of
the Cornell crews, said recently in the
shade of the boathouse at the Oakes
this would be his last year ns chief of
sniff of Cornell rowing.
This news, coming as it does after
Courtney’s Illness, dating back to lust
June, when he suffered a fractured
skull on the day of the arrival of the
Cornell crews at Poughkeepsie, has
been awaited with dread by every Cor
nell man. Rut the blow is lessened lie
cause of the old man’s determination
to continue In an advisory capacity,
and, that being the case, he will prob
ably continue to wield a powerful in
tluence in the shaping of Cornell’s row
ing destinies until his dying dav.
Those who know Courtney, und the
number is legion, know that he will
die In the harness. They feel that he
may sever his connection as head
coach, but in the end it will be to him
that all questions of policy will be ’
taken before final decision Is made.
Courtney is not a well man, and this,
together with his advancing age, has
led him to take the stop which he has
talked of taking so often. Since his j
Injury last summer Cornell’s grand old 1
man has been under physician's care
without interruption, and even now he
is accompanied at all times by a trained
nurse.
Were it not so pitiful it would seem
lroll indeed to those who know Court
toy to hear him usk submissively for
lermission to do things that have be
ionic second nature with him. He has
tot been out with the crews more than
i couple of times since they have been
iut. and each time the nurse has been
vith him.
\\ ithout thinking he will reach for
he megaphone and start to raise it to !
ds mouth, when he will suddenly re
nember. and turning to his nurse will
sk whether he may. The answer is al
rays and invariably in the negative
nd the megaphone slips back to the
oor. ' Courtney, the wizard of the
Iudson. is to all intents and purposes
ttle more than a passenger in his own
oaching launch.
