The matter will doubtless come be- fore the annual meeting at Chicago, and a good deal will he said, if not di me. 0 Another salient feature of the year [910 was the revolutionary action of the Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andrews in barring the use of the Schenectady putter and all mallet- headed clubs. This matter, which is alluded to in another part of this is- sue, will also be brought before the annual meeting. To turn to the performances of our players, it is not exactly neces- sary to deal with the various golfers in detail, but only with those who have won titles of more than local importance or have emerged from comparative obscurity into prom- inence.

MISS DOROTHY CAMPBELL Women's Champion

Without doubt, leaving out of ac- count the amateur championship, the honors of the year fell to Charles E. Evans. Time and again he displayed torm that seemed to almost put him in a class by himself, and where he failed it was more through had judg- ment or inexperience than by had play. His great achievement was of course in winning the championship, and it is doubtful if any amateur in this country has done anything so hue. Although a few of the crack- Western players did not enter he was pitied against such practised golfers as Lawrence Auch- terlonie, Robert Simpson, Jack Hutchinson, George Simpson and Peter Robertson.

ards are so utilized, and the artificial ones so placed, that a man can't make a mistake from first tee to last hole without being penalized. To a man playing perfect golf it is pie- easy. Hut to a man who is missing there is trouble without end. But Barker was not missing. In eighteen holes he made one mistake, pulling an approach on the seven- teenth hole. But even then he made up for it by a perfect approach and putt. In match play Barker's score was 11 up on Bogey, 4 up on par. Only one hole would have been dropped to par, none to Bogey. Verily, it was the golf of a lifetime.

It is 6.339 yards long —but that is nothing. It is on abruptly rolling ground, but that makes no great difference. It has innumerable natural hazards—lakes, : streams, gullies, woods and ravines— so have other courses.
