iadian The Canadian Amateur Championship to be held at Beacons- 1ampionship field Montreal, June 28th-July 3rd, marks the 22nd anniversary ould Go of this event. Duringthis period of well nigh a quarter of a st in 192] century the premiertest of amateur golfing skill in the Dominion has never taken place on a course other than in Montreal, Tor- : or Ottawa, with one exception, in 1896, when the championship was held (uebee. This perhaps can be very well explained by the fact that until recent years, three principal cities named were the only places in Canadareally possessing mpionship courses, and furthermore, the Provinces of Quebee and Ontario sted a golfing population eight or ten times as large as the rest of the Provinces Fi t together. But of recent years conditions have changed, most decidedly changed. tish Columbia has now some of the finest courses in the Dominion, whilst inipeg boasts links of great possibilities. Golfers by the thousands are now ubered west of Port Arthur. In fact, the golfing pendulum is swinging tward. It is of course out of the question, perhaps, ever to think of holding a Can- an Championship on the Paeifie Coast, much as that might be desired. The ance is well-nigh prohibitory, but on the other hand, Winnipeg, these days 95

of fast and luxurious travelling can very well be considered, and as pointed out by so well known a golfer as Mr. Robert Bone, captain of the Vancouver Golf and Country Club in the Mayissue of this magazine, the holding of the ¢hampionshi)) in the chief centre of Manitoba would solve the question of British Columbia golfers entering for the event, as many of the best players on the Coast woul welcome the holding of the meeting in that city, and showtheir appreciation })) attending. The United States Golf Association always sees to it that Chicago and th West are recognized in the holding of the National Championships from timeto time, and there seems nowto be no fitting excuse for The Rdyval Canadian Golf Association not following the same course as regards our own Northwest. Winnipeggolfers one and all, are keen for the Canadian Amateur to be held on one of their greens in 1921, and the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ is strongly of the opinion that at the annual meeting of the R. C. G. A. at Beaconsfield, Tuesday evening, June 29th, the delegates will be doing the proper thing, the right and just thing, to unanimously vote for next year’s championship to be held in Winni- peg. In the interest not alone of Winnipeggers, but in the interest of golf and golfers clear through to the Pacifie Coast this action should be taken, and taken in a most enthusiastic manner. A championship goif meeting is certainly ‘‘eoming’’ to the West after these manyyears.

No Place for Mr. Grantland Rice, the well known U.S. writer on sports. in the Cheater, a recent issue of the ‘‘American Golfer’’ has a very timely Particularly in article on the theme that there is no place for the cheaterin Golf any game. ‘‘Last season,’’ says this recognized authority, ‘‘the action of one or two ball players cast a shadow uponanentire game where over 99 per cent. of the men were honest. For most people are by nature suspicious. Too many of them would rather believe the worst than the best. They stalk around looking for a smudge. It is for this reason that, if one jockeyoronefighter is proved to be crooked, then with the multitude all jocke) and all fighters are boundto be-crooks. So while there is no place for the cheater in any game, this goes particularly and peculiarly forgolf. Whygolf in particular? The reason is simple. In golf the sole umpire is a man’s own honesty. A\ II decisionsareleft to the player alone, save in oneor two big championships where referees are provided to settle any intricate problems. In the vast majority of eases in golf there are no umpires, referees, judges, linesmen or inspectors. The gameis run by the honour system, where only player knows whetheror not he broke some rale or just how manystrokes he to It is largely for this reason that golf ethics have remainedat such altitude. The average man might have no compunction at putting something over umpireor a referee supposed to be watching him, but he worldn’t care to doul eross his own conscience. That’s another matter. Golf is now spreading to ma thousands who have yet to Jearn the spirit of the game. Oneof thefirst assi ments these should take up is a close study of the rules and regulations, since golfer is not only a player, but also his own umpire and his ownreferee. And ii he doesn’t know he may take an unconscious alvantage that to an opponent 1 carry quite another meaning.”’

The Foursome Oneof the most pleasing features of the golf game in Can Redivivus in this record season is the revival of the Foursome. The ‘‘( Canada adian Golfer’’ has been particularly keen to see this mst delightful phase of the Royal and Ancient more in evidence the various courses of the Dominion. In Great Britain the Foursome has n¢ ceased to be popular. Hereit has of late years, been very muchinthediscard This year, however, has witnessed its rehabilitiment in many clubs and 1) many tournaments.

The Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association, representing as it does undoubtedly, oe the leading golfers of the Dominion, from Coast to Coast, is to be heartily con- eratulated on lending its prestige to the Foursome, after all the most delightful ‘ d companionable feature of the game of games.

Canadian golfing history will be made in mtreal, June 28th to July 3rd. % $ & ‘Golf is something more than a game; it is a religion; it exposes a man to self in all his pristine nakedness; and it exposes to others the weakness he is so much pains to ordinarily coneeal.’’ # 8 & Mr. Justice A.

F. Ruttan, Professor of Chemistry at McGill University, was one of the principal figures last month at the newly-formed Canadian Institute of Chem- istry, which met at Hart House, Toronto. Dr. Ruttan is an ex-president of The Royal Canadian Golf Association and a very enthusiastic devotee of theRoyal and Ancient game. ** & The Sarnia Golf Club, progressive always, has issued a particularly attractive booklet of 12 pages containingthe interestinglist of fixtures for 1920 anda digest of the Rules and Etiquette of Golf. Sarnia has adopted the Calkins System this season, and the committee states it ‘‘ will not positively give a playera handicap unless he complies with the requirements of that system.’’ Good work! ** & The Oxford and Cambridge Society have been through one of the most successful tours in the history of their being. They defeated Lytham and St. Annes, then Formby, andfinally Royal Liverpool at Hoylake —a feat which has never previously been accomplished on the Cheshire links. In a matter of 50 years the men of Hoylake had never allowed the invader to prevail on the links at the estuary of the Dee. %% FF The Rev. H. J. Pritchard, a former very well known memberof the Braunt- ford and Galt Golf Clubs, more recently of the Soo, has accepted a unanimous request to assume the pastorate of the North Broadview Presbyterian Church, Toronto. Mr. Pritchard, whois an excellent curler, besides being a very good golfer, is especially proud of the fact that he thas ‘‘five sons and every one of them hasa sister.’’ %% & “Beaconsfield, beautiful Beaconsfield,’’ and the Vancouver Golf and Coun- try Club with its charming setting of mountain and woodland, over 3,000 miles away, will bein the golfing spot-light the last week in Juneandthefirst fewdays of July.

Here’s wishing them an unbounded suecess—and maythe st man win both in the East and West of the far flung battle line. + & & The new taxes announced by Sir Henry Drayton (the Finance Minister. by the way, is an enthusiastic golfer), will hit golfers particularly hard. Woo lei clubs, which formerly sold for $2.50 to $3.00, are now $5.00 to $6.00, and mur, whilst iron clubs have also gone up from $2.00 to $4.50 and $5.00.

With the growth of everyday life in Panama, Columbia, and the territory oenerally in the vicinity of the Panama Canal, golf has got a hold, and William (. Byrne, the professional to the St. David’s Golf-Club, Pennsylvania, has de- varted for the Canal zone, there to instruct the Canal officials. * * The article in this issue, on the Pacifie Northwest Golf Tournament, is easily ne of the most finished productions received by the ‘*‘ Canadian Golfer’’ in many , day. Thereis a distinet charm about this contribution, which marks its author, Mr. J. Reginald Davison, as possessing literary style, quite above the ordinary. He is, by the way, Manager of the Publicity Department of Vancouver, and that ity is indeed fortunatein its choice of one who can singits praises so delightfully. ** & A despateh from Winnipeg, May 28th: ‘«The formation of a Western Canada Golf Association was the topic of discussion among ae wal golfers when D. G. Mackenzie, of Macleod, Alberta, President, of the Alberta Associa- on, visited Winnipeg yesterday. Mr. Mackenzie voiced the opinion that Winnipeg was entitled to next year’s Canadian championships and proposed that. if the East did not give the Vest some consideration the proposed Western Association should branch out and take its own eans of development, irrespective of the actions of the Canadian body. Mr. Mackenzie left ist night for his old homein Seotland for a short visit.’’ % 8 & Lists are nowclosed for the new Canadian Air Foree, which will train at Camp Borden.

From Mr. 8. P. Jermain, of the Inverness Golf Club, Toledo, Ohio, whe: the United States Open Championshipis to be held next August (Mr. Jermai is ex-officio, member of all committees in connection with the United States Open) : ‘Permit me to congratulate you very heartily upon the high excellence of the ‘‘Canadiai Golfer.’’ We can well understand its increasing popularity among its subscribers. It conveys to them what they wish most to know and in the ‘comrade’ spirit and mannerof telling which prevails in ‘In and Around the Club House,’ and everywhere. Besides this you are doing much for public golf—to give the game scope for its fullest opportunity and benefits in th: lives of men. It should ever be kept in mind that the game had its birth upon the ‘Common Lands’ —the Links by the Scottish Sea,’’ and that its oldest and best traditions are in its complete democraecy—verily ‘golf at its best.’ To all of this we owe much and cannot wisely depart from or forget.’’ * % & Mr. Verschoyle Cronyn, the oldest native Londoner, and father of Major HumeB. Cronyn, M.P., (a Governor of The Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association died at his residence, Firligh, Dundas Street, London, Ontario, June Ist, in his 88th year. Mr. Cronyn had beenin ill-health for some time. He was formerly very closely associated with a number of London institutions, and was besides an outstandingfigure in the legal andfinancial cireles of Ontario. He organizedand founded the Huron and Erie Mortgage Corporation in 1862, while he was also the organizer and owner of the original London Street Railway. Hesoldhis interest in the latter enterprise just prior to electrification of the system. Mr. Cronyn was a son of the late Bishop Benjamin Cronyn, the first Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron, to whose memory Cronyn Memorial Hall and Cronyn Memorial Church, in this city, were erected. He commenced the practice of law in London in 1857, and became a Queen’s Counsellor. In law he was associated with his brother, Mr. Benjamin Cronyn, and afterward with Mr. John Martin He was Chaneellor of the Diocese of Huron, and a member of the Historical Society. His wife, who died in 1909, was a daughter of Mr. W. H. Blake, Chan- cellor of Upper Canada. Mr. Cronyn is survived by two daughters and four sons: Mrs. George T. Brown, Mrs. F. P.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST GOLF TOURNAMENT \ Charming Pen-Picture of the Vancouver Golf and Country Club—Graceful Tribute to the Indian Poetess, Miss Pauline Johnson (By J.

Since early spring the special golf magazines nd the sports columns of the daily press in .

Your valley is one of such peaceful, inland beauty, so tidily made and comfortabl cultivated that it always seems as though the cornucopia of Agricultural Plent) had been turned over to pour its gifts vpon your fields, your homes and you people. Your very mills hum with the peacefulness of their setting, yourhills curve, your meadows undulate, there seem no sharp, sudden edges, no unex pectedness of precipices, of piercing heights, of gullies to’ deep to drop into. Busily or sleepily the towns continue. What was a stoppingplace of fifty years ago, is still a stopping place. Names follow in succession—three, four, five gen- erations: The Grand Valley is lovely! Many who were born there live here- and, always there is the fondness for its beauty, the longing to travel back and dwell in it for a little while! But—The Vancouver Golf and Country Club Grounds—such grandeur, such vastness The peaked snow tops of many mountains, the tremendous ex- panse of a mighty ocean, forests whosetrees rise to heights of three hundredfeet and whose girth six big men could not measure standing side by side with arms outstretched. Lift your eyes and there is vision unmeasured; look downward —and thelinks roll on to the waters, the waters roll on to the Orient, andthe mind expandslike the circles from a thrown stone. Pen cannot describe such magnitude—you must come to Vancouver to understandit. Vancouver City is not old: 34 years to her credit, and she claims 200,000 residents. But, if, as Vancouver, she has no age, she possesses traditions so ancient that the Biblical Flood and the times of the Prophets seem modernin i comparison. Brant County is linked to Vancouver in hertraditions, for it was your own Pauline Johnson, daughter of the Chief of the Six Nation Indians, bornat the Indian Reserve on the Grand River, attended the Central School in ‘your own Brantford, made a life and a namefor herself, died in Vancouver and whose last resting place is at the foot of the big trees in Stanley Park near to the Siwash Rock that she loved. It was she, whom Westerners love to call The Indian Princess Poet, who madefriends with the Chief Capilano, with high personages of manyPacific tribes and coaxed from themthe stories that give Vancouverher i f background, her history. | Vancouver loves Pauline if not more, yet equally as well as she is loved by i the peoples among whomshe was reared, and, with due cause, for she has given - Vancouver the gift that the makers of newcities crave—‘‘an ancient setting.’ So you see, Vancouyer is looking for golfers from the East and from the Grand Valley. She feels that you are allied to us, and just rememberthedates of the grand Pacific Northwest Tournament, July 5th-to 12th, 1920. % 8 & |The photographs on page 101 of this article are all well known Vancou ites who are taking a keen interest in the Tournament.

Reekie, of Upper Montelair, was crowned Saturday, June 5th, in New Jersey, and there comes a pleasing break in the monotony of the familar names—Travers, Kirkby, Marston. Not unlike Mr. Mantalini’s situation as ‘‘dem’d moist unpleasant body’’ was he final in the New Jersey Amateur Golf Championship at the Arcola Country Club in which Reekie, the medalist of Thursday, overwhelmed his clubmate, = Frank M. Dwyer, by 7 up and 5 to play in 36 holes. Sa The steady rain all dayfilled the bunkers, and lifting for ‘‘casual water’’ h n the fairway was frequent, but luckily the greens had no ‘‘water stymies,’’ as one dripping galleryite put it. The morning round ended with Reekie 2 up, Dyer starting the last round dis- nally by losing his ball on the first hole. Dyer dropped hole after hole till at the fth he was 6 down.

A 10-foot putt saved a half on the 16th for Dyer and he won/the 17th with : bird 3, pitching up dead. This left him only one down, but it became two whenhefailed to reachth: home green with his iron second while Reekie’s fine shot was only 12 feet short o: the cup. Dyer chipped up well and a half was in sight until Dyer was blocked! off with a stymie. The ultimate result was not long in coming into view, for after a hooke drive to long grass Dyerlost his ball on the openinghole after lunch. He was fiv down goingto the 5th, owing to losing the short 3rd by slicing to rough andth: long 4th with an out of bounds. A single putt of 10 feet gave Reekie the 5th and then Dyerrepeated his bird 3 of the morningon the 6th, only to lose the short 7th on a hooked tee iron to roug! and an out to a trap. Reekie topped his drive on the long 8th, but Dyer failed to take advantag: of the error through hookinghis brassie in among the trees. In playing out he broke the shaft 0! his niblick. Both on in 4, Reekie won with a 15- foot putt and he also gathered in the 9th, 3-4, when Dyertook three putts. At the turn Reekie was 8 up, but he dropped the 10th byslicingto knee-high grass from the tee. The short 11th was double 3, and when Reekie had only a 3-foot putt to halve the 12th and win by 7 and 6.

MUNICIPAL GOLF IN VANCOUVER Kiwanis Club of That City is Back of the Laudable Enterprise EF NDORSATIONofa municipal golf course allied with municipal play grounds was made by the members of the Kiwanis Club of Vancouver at a recent meeting in that city, following short speeches by several members. Mr. C. A. Abrahams, business manager of the Vancouver ‘‘World’’ and an enthusi- istic golfer, told of the increasing popularity of golf as a poor man’s game and \ded that it would fill a large gap nowexistant in the city for the entertainment of the large numberof tourists. He pointed out that 50 per cent. of the tourists played golf and the establishment of a nine-hole course would not entail anyseri- s expenditure and would soon be self-supporting. By backing this plan he said the members would be doing a service to the community and by charging ly a small fee for the game the result would be that manytourists would re- ain longer in the eity. Mr. Brent Brown, although not a player, strongly supported the idea stating t it as a matter of civie pride and in order to keep apace with the times a rse was necessary. The game created friendship between people of the dif- ent countries and was a clean wholesomesport, he said. Alderman Fred Crone asked where the golf course could be established and le Fraser rose to state that there was a good place immediately behind Little intain at the back of Shaughnessy Heights. Rev. Jack Storey, of the Y.M.C.A., also supported the game where, he said, ons and church members would have a chance to get off some steam, but he | that the question of municipal playgrounds should take preference over olf course and in this way prevent drug addicts, as an ounce of prevention orth a pound of eure. ‘‘We need these playgrounds for we are years be- the cities south of the line in this respeet and only recently one of the park iissioners made a plea for vacant lots for playgrounds but the trouble is men are so busy making moneythat they won’t bother. These vacant lots he breeding places for fire and caterpillars, while they should be used to the youth of our city in right exercise.”’ ontinuing, the speaker said that the city school playgrounds were under ind key during the holidays and the children were forced to play on the s and then people wondered why there were so manyaccidents. lr. CO. D. Bruce stated that the parks board owned a $75,000 block in Grand- vhich had been left unimproved for many years and was costingthe city J a year. Mr. David Leith also referred to the shortage of playgrounds stated that last summer and fall 36 football teams of 11 men each had to 1 Six parks every Saturday. ‘‘We must look after our future manhood he said. committee consisting of Robert Bone, chairman, (three times golf cham- of Vancouver) ; Messrs.

BULL MOOSE ROAMED COURSE The Royal Ottawa Links Visited by an ““Antlered Monarch of the Waste.” URING the past few years the native red deer have been observed grazing peacefully on the course of the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. But this morning for about five minutes, there was a scene of wild excitement, when a bie bull moose sauntered leisurely along the fairway of the 14th. The huge animal was approaching the club, evidently looking for Kai Keffer, when the engineer and one of the bell boys, who happened to be outsid the club house, noticed the moose just stepping on the preciously guarded 14t] green. Theylet out a shout, which caused the animal to halt his steps. This brought Mr. R. B. Veits, hon. secretary of the Club, to the windowof his room, which overlooks that portion of the course. Get a rope,’’ he yelled, eyidently having in mind the much-talked-of zoo logical garden at Rockeliffe, but which is a long time in eventuating. There was a clothes line lying on the ground near the caddy house, and the engineer, wit! two of the boys, started out after the animal. ‘*Cirele him,’’ commanded the pyjama clad hon. secretary from his coie) of vantage. ‘‘Tassoo him,’’ called Mr. R. G. McConnell, deputy minister of mines. Mr. Moose watched the attacking force approach for twenty or thirty yare's and then, shaking his great head, turned tail and with springinglopes started for the northern woods. He ran down the fairway of the 10th, just avoiding the green, and then struck into the bush, to the relief of the groundsman, who |) this time had been attracted to the scene. The incident afforded a few minutes of exhilaration, which the hon. seeretar deélares only comes to a man once in alifetime.

They threw ‘‘fairways’’ at mi and ‘‘putting greens.’’ I was buried in the ‘‘rough,”’ but got out of every “‘ha ard.’’ Theytried to ‘‘bunker’’ me, but could not bunco me into the game.

Several groups of elderly ladies plied their needle, mingled h‘the chit-chat of the day, on the verandas and kiosks, while a number of dren romped and played on the lawn and beach.

It was ‘‘ Mae.’ fe Without any reference to golf whatsoever, there rushed to my mind all my st plausible and logical arguments in opposition to the game. Was it ‘‘ Mae’s”’ unostentatious, almost reserved manner, or the amount of assurance and ermination bristling out of him that caused my uneasiness ? We chatted. I led the conversation.

The tee was a matter of curiosity to me, being raised up, and I just caught myself wishing that there was some such open air gameas we used to play in childhood, where we could enjoy the sunshine; the erisp air and tly beautiful surroundings in which I found myself. Oh, no! I would not attempt to play golf, I was too wedded to mylong established opinions to think of taking any chances of having my convictions up set now. But I was reckoning without my host. ‘‘Mae’’ quietly teed up a ball, whic! certainly stood out nice and clear against the ground on its little pinnacle ot sand, and picking a driver from his bag, in a careless sort of manner, simply said, ‘‘ While I am changing myboots take a crack at that ball.

THE ORDINARY PLAYER

ls the Main Support of All Golf Clubs—Some Interesting Figures in Support of This

VHLAT the ordinary player is very much in the majority on all golf courses, a that he is in fact the ‘‘backbone’’ of the game, has generally been admitted, ; but here are some figures from a leading Toronto club which can put a ve than usually strong team in the field, and which proves conclusively that : i who play anywhere near parfigures are few and far between. In the elub entioned, last season, 900 cards were deposited in the seore box. A careful lysis was recently made of these cards with the followingresults: : Between 70 and 80 strokes, a total of 18 scores. Between 81 and 90, a total of 224 scores. Between 91 and 100, a total of 361 scores. Between 101 and 110, a total of 240 seores. it Between 111 and 120, a total of 48 scores. a? 2 Over 120, a total of 9 scores. The par of this particular course is 72, so it will be seen during a season’s iy that there were very few perfect scores returned or anything approaching

q ereto, i There was a total of 658 scores ranging from 91 to 120, so it will easily be a ducted that the great majority of golfers enjoy the game, not because theyat- j n to anything approaching great proficiency or even hope to, but on account the charm of the game, the ideal environment and the good fellowship and maraderie it engenders. An analysis of the 2483 scores handed in at the last irmament of The Seniors’ Golf Tournament at Lambton, shows 3 scores of 70 ) 80 inclusive; 32 between 81 and 90; 94 between 91 and 100; 90 between 101 nd 110, and 24 over 110. All of which goes to'showthat The Seniors’ golf com- a pares very favorably with the golf of the average club, although a memberof ? The Seniors has to be 55 years and upwards to qualify for this very august ssociation.

THE CANADIAN SENIORS’ GOLF ASSOCIATION At Meeting of Governors in Toronto Details are Discussed in Connection with the Forthcoming Tournament, September 8th, 9th and 10th at The Royal Ottawa—Twenty U. S. Seniors Expected to Attend

MI: W. R. BAKER, C.V.O., President of The Canadiah Seniors’ Golf Asso ciation, came up from Montreal to a meeting of the Governors held Satur day, June 5th, at the office of the Hon. Wallace Nesbitt, Vice-President of the Association. Mr. Bakerreported that he had been in communication with the Private See retary of the Governor General, who is Patron of the Seniors, and who donated the beautiful cup for the International Seniors’ Match, in reference to His Excellency being present at the annual dinnerof the Association next September in Ottawa. Unfortunately, as at present arranged, he will be on a tour of the West the week of the Tournament. If by any chance there should be any change in his plans and he should be in Ottawa, His Excellency has intimated he will be very pleased to attend the dinner. It was decided to invite the U. S. Seniors’ International team and several prominent officials to be the guests of the Canadian Association at the dinneron Thursday evening, September 9th. It is expected that twenty U. 8. Seniors will be in attendance. On Friday morning foursomes will be played for trophies and the U. 8. Seniors will be invited to compete in this event. Foursomes have always been popular in Great Britain, but in recent years they have been sadl} neglected on Canadian courses. They are one of the most delightful phases oi the Royal and Ancient game and have recently been successfully revived in Alberta and Manitoba. The Seniors have taken the properstep in addingthei1 prestige to the movement to reinstate the foursome. The Seniors’ International match will take place after the Foursomes on Friday afternoon and will wind up the Tournament. The U. S. Seniors hay recently increased their membership limit from 500 to 600, and it is reported as a result have added a numberof very strong players to their list. They will have a formidable team at Ottawa and the Canadians are goingto havetheir wor cut out to win the ‘‘rubber game,’’ each Association so far having one match t its credit. Mr, George 8. Lyon is foregoing the U. 8. Amateur Championship at Rosyln, Long Island, which is scheduled for September 6th-11th, in order again captain the Canadian Seniors. Hewill, of course, however, take part the International match, United States vs. Canada, which the United States Gu! Association and the Royal Canadian Golf Association have arranged shall ta place on September4th at Roslyn—the Saturday preceding the U. S. Amateur It was unanimously decided that the U. 8. Seniors’ governors be asked agree to an arrangement wherebyin future International matches the President of the respective Associations shall always play on the team (on their handicaps Mr. Bakeris in Ottawa this week, meeting with Mr. P. D. Ross, second Vic President of the Association and the officials of The Royal Ottawa in referen to arrangingall preliminarydetails in connection with the Tournament. A suit of rooms will be engaged at the Chateau Laurierfor the U. 8S. Seniors, who w be the guests of the Canadian Seniors from the time oftheir arrival until th: departure. The Hon. Secretary reported the Association to be in a most flourishing co dition and that from letters he had already received there would be a reco! attendance from all points East and West, at the Tournament, September 81 9th and 10th at The Royal Ottawa. 14:2 BROUGHT BACK TROPHIES

wnadians Make a Most Excellent Showing at the Chevy Chase Invitation Tournament ESSRS. George 8S. Lyon, W. J. Thompson, J. D. Montgomery, Seymour VI Lyon and Harry 8. Coulson, of Toronto, took part May 20th, 21st and 22nd in the Invitation Tournament at Chevy Chase, one of the most delight- ‘lubs in the Washington District, and they made a fine showingin afield of 2 representative U.S. golfers. In the qualifying round of the Tournament W. J. Thompson, of Mississauga, i the gold medal with a capital 75. G.S. Lyon was in fifth place with a 79. Seymour Lyon, owingto a fatal 9 at one hole, just failed to qualify for the first sixteen, but in the second sixteen carried all before him, easily winning the silver In one of the rounds he put on a 73, which was the best score made during tournament. W. J. Thompson, in the first sixteen for the Taft Cup, went to the semi- als, where he was defeated by Walter R. Tuckerman, of Chevy Chase, who fterwards won the cup in the finals. Mr. Thompson has had rather a peculiar ‘perience as a semi-finalist. In the Canadian Amateurlast year he was put out the semi-finals by Mr. William McLuckie, who subsequently won the championship, and the same thing happened to him at the United States Amateurat ttsburg, Davidson Herron defeating him there and eventually annexing mier honours. Mr. G. 8. Lyon in the beaten eight of the first sixteen, also ched the semi-finals. Mr. Harry S. Coulson won asilver cup as runner-up in third sixteen, so the Canadian representatives brought home a goodly share the trophies. The day following the tournament Messrs Lyon and Thompson played over Columbia Country Club course, havingas their opponents the celebrated pro., |. MeLeod, winnerlast spring of the North and South Championship, and leading amateur of the club, Mr. Stevenson. The Canadians ‘‘teamed-up’’ ectly, and playing pargolfor better, between them at everyhole, easily won ) up. The Torontonians all report unbounded hospitality in Washington and state t the trip throughout was one of the most enjoyable ever experienced by them. Our U.S. golfing cousins are certainly entertainers, plus.

MAYZHAVE TO,USE: TWO: ‘COURSES Over 600 Entries Expected for the Pacific Northwest Championship at Vancouver =~ VER 600 entries are expected in the Pacific Northwest Golf Championship ) to be held in Vaneouver July 5th to 10th. This will easily create a record for golf in Canada andwill probablynecessitate two courses being put into uission, Shaughnessy Heights having generouslyoffered the Vancouver Golf officials the use of their course, if this is found necessary. "here will be at least 300 entries in the amateurclass, 150 in the open, while uservative estimate places the numberof ladies who will compete close to 100. e will also be 50 pros. Prominent amongthe visitors will be H. Chandler Egan, of Medford, Ore., r U.S. national champion, while Mr. Jack Neville, of San Francisco, has ged to bring three private cars, with the best-known golfers of Southern ornia. Other well-known stars in attendance will be Walter Fovarque and Heinie Schmidt. 113 114 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 2

Mr. David R. Brown and Mr. James L.

improvements in preparation for the championship. A large force of men was put to work, and much was a¢complished before winter put a stop to operat This spring, owing to unfavorable weather conditoins and the absenceof the work was threatened with a serious set-back, but copious showers throug the Montreal district of late have had a most beneficial effect, and it is econfid hoped nowthat Beaconsfield will be in championship condition by the end « month. Briefly, the course, as altered, makes it really easier for the mai plays straight, but very much harder for one whoslices or pulls. The large numberof players from Toronto, headed by Messrs. G. S. | W. J. Thompson, Seymour Lyon, B. L. Anderson, Stanley Thompson, \ ( James, and other prominent golfers, will leave by special car Fridaynight, 25th, for Pointe Claire, arrangements having been made to stop the fast expres there. Golfers from Hamilton (Mr. F. R. Martin, ex-champion, Mr. A. 4 Adams and others), Brantford, Sarnia (the internationalist, Mr. F. G. Ho! zell), and other cities, will also take this train. The entrants from Ottaw also expected to arrive in Montreal on Saturday, June 26th. From the West, for the first time in the history of the Canadian Chan ship, will come a goodly contingent.

Hagen gave daily exhibitions and used er than 600 balls during the week’s trip.

THE “YANKEE” INVASION Hagen and Barnes Give Britishers a Taste of Their Quality HEtwo leadingplayers of the United States, Walter Hagen, the Open Cham pion, and ‘‘Jim’’ Barnes (he is, of course, an Englishman), runner-up in the Canadian Open and champion of the Professional Golfers’ Associa tion, arrived in England the beginning of the month, and have already bee: playingfine golf overthere. Their most notable achievement so far has been the victory they scored o1 June 10th at the Addington course at Croydon over Great Britain’s twoleading youngprofessionals, Abe Mitchell and George Duncan. Hagen and Barnes wo by the rather decisive margin of 3 and 2. The match was for £200 aside. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ has all along contended that the ‘‘ American invasion’’ both in the Amateur and Open Championships was to be treated very seriously and that as a result of nearly six years’ cessation of championship golf, the Old Country golfers were in dangerof losing their golfing supremacy. Dunean and Mitchell are generally looked upon as Great Britain’s chiet hopes in retaining the Open Championship honours June 28-30th. Then defeat at the hands of Hagen and Barnes does not bode well for their chances at Deal. At this writing Great Britain’s golfing laurels would seem to beinserious jeopardy, although the acid test of medal play maytell another story. Bot! Barnes and Hagen admittedly excel in match play, and then, of course, in tli Amateur ‘‘Good old Tolley’’ came brilliantly to the rescue.

Several clubs in Canada have applications in for exhibition games from ‘hi visiting Britishers, but it will be the end of August or the first week in Septem)e! possibly, before they cross the Border.

any way approached the golf played by Mr. Tolley last week. It exhibited the combinati: of extraordinary power combined with distinctive class in the playing of the controlled phas« the game.’’ Mr. Gardneris a splendid type of the athlete and clean-cut American U: versity man. He was 30 years of age last April. Heis a graduate of Yale 1912 class, and was Captain of the Yale golf team and President of the Intercollegiate Golf Association. He has won fame in manysports outside of golf, including amateur pole-vaulting championship of the U. S. Gardner has won the American National Championship twice, in 1909 a1 1915. In the former year he put out H. Chandler Egan, twice champion, Wheaton, Ill., and in 1915 he defeated John G. Anderson, runner-up in 1913, the final at Detroit. In the afternoon roundofthat final Gardner did some of longest driving ever since seen in an American championship, Andersonoften ing a sizable mashie shot behind. In 1916 he was runner-up to Mr. ‘‘Chic Evans for the championship, being defeated at Merion 4 and 3. Heplays for Hinsdale Club, Chicago. Nelson Whitney, who also made such a good showing at Muirfield, is on: the best golfers ever produced in the South. Last year he won the Southern a Trans-Mississippi championships and in several previous years carriedoff Southern title. In the national championship at Merion in 1916he clashed \ ‘*Chick’’ Evans in the first round and carried the Chicagoan to the 35th bh giving Evans the hardest run of the tournament and playing a gameofs excellence that ‘‘Chick’’ said afterward that when he got him out of the wa) could draw a deep breath and consider himself fairly safe. Whitney was put in the fourth round bythat sterling Scottish player, Gordon Lockhart, who gotiated a 73 to beat him 2 and 1—one of the best scores in the tournam: Gardner revenged his colleague by defeating Lockhart in the semi-finals 2 up Gardnerhas only played once in Canada, and that was in the Internati: match last July in Hamilton, when Mr, Fritz Martin, twice amateur champio!

ada, defeated him in the singles by 4 and 2. He was fifth on the team, Evans, met, Kirkby and Marston playing ahead of him. In the International four- games, he was partnered with Marston, and they defeated Martin and Sey- r Lyon 4 and 3. The Yale man made a great hit in Great Britain, all the leading papers pay- him tributes. It was generally thought by the experts that Captain Tolley id be no match for him in the finals, as he was playing wonderfully steady f and improving in his short game every day. He had several rounds in the nties to his eredit. In the words of the London ‘‘Times’’: No American golfer has made so manyfriends here, or made them so quickly. He is not i very gallant and modest fighter, but a fine, accomplished player.’’ A cable despatch June 14th, states that the British champion intends enter- for the U.S. Amateurat Roslyn, L.
