“The Two There could not possibly have been golf fixtures staged one Extremes” in week after the other more colourful and yet more diverse than Golf, Seniors that of the Ontario Boys’ Championship, the Quebec Boys’ and Juniors Championship (not to mention the Toronto Ladies’ Junior Alike Keenly Championship), and the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Champion Play the Game ship. At Lakeview, Toronto; at Marlborough, Montreal; at Thornhill, Toronto, last month were to be seen players as young as twelve years of age, teeing off, whilst at the Royal Montreal, Dixie, there was many a Senior who was over 70 years of age, and none pleaded guilty to be less than three score. At the very threshold of their life both golf- ing and otherwise, were the young boys and girls with their whole future stretching ahead of them. On the other hand, at the other “end of the rain bow,” veterans in statesmanship, in finance and the professions, with life’s work well done and in manycases well-nigh spent, played just as well and enthusiastically and keenly as the younger set at Marlborough, Lakeview and Thornhill. Is there another game, but golf, in the world that could pro- vide such a picture? Is there another game in the world that can boast active and skilful participants stretching all the way from 12 years of age to 70 odd? Truth to tell the youngsters last month, as a whole, played as good or a better game than their Dads, and in some cases their Grand Daddies. The Seniors boast numbers of fine players of the past, in their ranks, but none of them have to-day, the rhythm of swing, the consistent length of drive, the 451 452 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 13, No. 6

snappy iron work and the nerveless putting of many of the juniors. Their scores testify to this. Lakeview, Toronto, where the Ontario Junior Cham- pionship was held, is the hardest course in Canada to score on, ‘and its par of 70 has never been broken yet, by the greatest of the professionals who have played over it, yet young Gordon Gunn, of Mississauga, Toronto, who won the Championship, came home with a 74—thelast nine holes in 36, or only one above par. And 74’s are rare, mighty rare indeed at Lakeview, amongst either leading amateurs or professionals. Other of the youngplayers, including the runner-up, Gordon Dunean, of Brantford, were also in the seventies in their morning or afternoon rounds. Only a few years ago there were no junior golfers in Canada. To-day they are numbered by the thousand, from Coast to Coast. The Seniors, many of them, have done their “golfing bit,” and done it “mighty well,” but they are no longer potent factors in upholding the game from a championship stand- point. Upon the shoulders of the golfing youth of the Dominion, lies this great responsibility, and in increasing numbers every year, they are eagerly coming forward, to perfect themselves to take up the “Task and the Torch.” “Senior golf” is admirable and commendable. “Junior golf” is inspiring and uplifting, and the hope of Canada, in the future, if she is ever to take a prom- inent place in the golfing “sun,” which she has never quite done in the past.

Sudden The sudden deaths within a few days of one another, on golf Collapses on courses of a Montreal and Brantford player, as regretfully Golf Courses reported in last month’s issue, caused not only wide regret Not To Be amongst many friends throughout Ontario and Quebec, be- Seriously cause both were outstanding men, but also created a fear in Considered the minds of some people, that golf should not be so freely indulged in by players no longer counted young. This fear however, is groundless. Golf in moderation, for men of fifty and sixty years and upwards, is the very best tonic, physically and mentally. All doctors agree as to that. There is nothing like sunshine and fresh air, and the tread- ing and “tang” of the verdant fairways, for jangled nerves and jaded muscles. Such incidents as were recorded last month are bound to occur from time to time —if not on the golf course, then on the street or the office and the home. Sudden collapses are not unusual. They are unfortunately all too common. They would be more common unquestionably, were it not for the playing of golf by men of maturingyears.

“Dad and Underthe auspices of the Quebee Golf Association, last month His Boy” the annual Father and Son Tournament was run off at the Should Play Montreal Country Club and over thirty “Dads” and their More Golf sons participated. Together These “Pater et Filius” competitions are most interesting events. In the States they are quite featured and deservedly so. Next year the Ontario and other Provincial Asso¢iations throughout Can- ada, would be well advised to inaugurate such fixtures. They are in the very best interest alike of golf and filial relationships. “Dad and his boy” should play more together. The “Father and Son” competitions in the future, should be oneof the season’s features in every Province in the Dominion. Quebec, as usual, has set an excellent example. It has a faculty of doing such things, in

E golf as in everything else, moreorless.

a plethora of important fixtures. Among others, the Quebee and Ontario Junior Championships, the Alberta Championships at Calgary, the Senior Tournament at Montreal, the Quebee Ladies’ and Provincial Championships, the big Golf Tournament at Jasper Park, Alberta, the Canadian Women’s Senior Tournament at Mount Bruno, Montreal; the Ontario Fall Tournament at Welland, the Willie Park Competition at Weston, Toronto, winding up the week of September 26th with the Canadian Ladies’ Close Championship at Toronto—one of the major events of the year. “September and golf” are now synonimous, throughout the length and breadth of the land, both as re- gards Tournaments and club competitions. ** *” The unfortunate disputed stroke in the King William the Fourth Gold Medal competition at St. Andrews, Scotland, once more calls attention to the importance of a thorough understanding of the rules by all competitors in events of importance and in fact by all players of the game of golf. In the St. Andrews event one stroke was the difference between the two leaders, Cave and Pollock, when the question arose regarding the grounding of a club in a heap of road material at the famous road hole, the seventeenth, After much dispute the ruling was made that the material was not in the bunker. Incidents of this nature are however, very unpleasant for both competitors, and often could be easily avoided if the rules were more carefully studied and practiced at all times, whether in friendly play or in match competition. Sev- eral important decisions hinging on the observance of the Rules have been called for this season during Canadian championships and there is no doubt but that the rules have been broken in many cases by players who were innocent of the fact that their actions called for a penalty. With thousands of

October, 1927 CANADIAN GOLFER 455

new players taking up the game in Canada everyyear, it is important that the existing laws of the game should be carried outcarefully if abuses are to be avoided that will eventually deteriorate and destroy the spirit of the Royal and Ancient game. No gameis a game if a player follows the line of least resist- ance and this applies especially to golf, where the player whose score you are competing against may be half a mile away from you and has no knowledge regarding your individual difficulties nor how you meet them. ” * * Is the great Walter Hagen going to forsake the links for the diamond? This interesting question has been raised by the announcement that the great showman of the lmks has purchased the Rochester Ball Club. For some years now Walter has been making big money, two years ago he was credited with netting $100,000 a year from his golfing activities alone. Since then he has become a big factor in Florida realty operations, is the owner of the Hagen Corporation manufacturing golf balls and supplies, and has also been eredited with big suecesses on the stock market. It would seem that the lure of big business has become greater than that of big golf tournaments and certainly it will become increasingly difficult to retain his golfing form and at the same time devote to his other businesses the attention they will demand. As a mat- ter of fact, Walter has not been winning championships lately, with the ex- ception of the recent Western Open, and there is also the fact that a host of younger menare striving to take his place as the leader of the U.S. pro- fessionals. Walter has had a wonderful career and it is not likely that any other professional in the near future will become such a popular figure as he has, but they will take his place on the roster of champions and Ilagen is quite clever enough to realize this before it actually happens. Shortly he will leave on an extended foreign tour and it is quite possible that this will be Walter’s r

“swan song” as an exhibition player. He is a shrewd business man, and if he G can produce a ball team with a glamour and a penchant for championships like their owner, he will make a wonderful success of his new venture.

THE PASSING OF MR-€sSTANLEY PETTH: Y the death of Mr. C. Stanley Pettit, of Toronto, the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association has lost a prominent and enthusiastic member. Mr. Pettit, whose golfing activities have been curtailed this past year on account of failing health, though he remainedactive in business, passed away on Septemberthe nineteenth. He was born in Richmond, Ontario, in 1858, the eee eldest son of Canon Pettit , and was educated in Belleville and Ottawa. He

a m 1885 when he served with the 7th Fusileers in the North-West Rebellion. On

c e his return he resumed a business life in Cornwall, later coming to Toronto, when the well known manufacturing firm of Delaney and Pettit was founded, thirty-one years ago. A successful business man, Mr. Pettit was a memberof the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, the Toronto Board of Trade and took a keen interest in the welfare of St. Paul’s Church, Toronto. Some twenty-two years ago Mr. Pettit became interested in golf and was one of Lambton’s early members. He was also a member of the Lakeview Golf Club, the Hamilton Golf and Country Club, The Royal Canadian Yacht Club, the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association and the National Club. The passing of Mr. Stanley Pettit will be mourned in manycircles, church, business and golf, and the heartfelt sympathy of the “Canadian Golfer” goes cut to the bereaved family and business associates.

Baker had probably the hardest row to hoe to reach the finals and his n victory was well earned. He had to i meet J. E. Morrill, of Honolulu, in the second round. Morrill, a_ brilliant player when at the top of his form, was considered as having more than an even chance to reach the finals. But Baker, playing the same steady, eareful game which brought him the championship, won on the 18th hole when Morrill’s screaming drive from the tee clipped the top of a bunker and fell back for a loss of at least one hundred yards distance and a full stroke.

THE BAR ASSOCIATION PLAYS GOLF HE annual golf tournament of the Toronto Bar Association, always eag- erly anticipated by the lawyers, this year attracted some one hundred members to the Toronto Golf Club, where a most interesting programme was enjoyed. The principal prize of the day was the National Trust Company Trophy, which was won by Mr. F. C. Gullen and Mr. W. R. Willard. W. J. Thompson, former Amateur Champion of Canada, won the low gross prize with a eard of 78, while Fraser Grant was second with a score of 88. J. Gray- son Smith captured the net prize. Graham Evans, H. J. Martin, Brooke Bell and W. M. Cox weretied for second place in this event.

The feature of the play, however, was provided by W. W. Davidson, of r

Thornhill, who enjoys his golf to the limit, despite the loss of an arm on active e war service. Despite his handicap, Mr. Davidson has no terror of the famous seventeenth hole at the Toronto Golf Club, which is popularly known as the “Graveyard.” : Two hundred and ten yards of narrow fairway and a narrowgreen sur- rounded by long pits and steep banks, the hole is quite one of the outstanding one-shotters on Canadian courses. At the recent Canadian Open Championship Tommy Armour took two fours and two fives at this hole during the four rounds and Macdonald Smith, the runner-up, had a 4-3-2-4, so it is quite evident that a par 3 is no sinecure. Nothing daunted as he stepped on the tee, Mr. Davidson placed his tee shot nicely on the green and sank a long putt to the delight of those accompanying him. His spectacular achievement was justly rewarded bya special prize. Birdies are not rare to Mr. Davidson, as on Labor a day he made the par four first hole at Thornhill in two strokes, At the dinner which followed the game on the links, the Hon Wallace Nesbitt, K. C., was the principal speaker and the prizes were presented by Mr. W. J. Thompson and Mr. Holford Ardagh.

OUR “HOLE-IN-ONE” CLUB Souris, Manitoba, Again Leads the Way—Several 200 Yard One-Shotters Are Recorded—A Long One at Saskatoon

M RS. W. HUNTER, Ladies’ Captain of the Kent Golf Club, Montmorency Falls, is the first one-shotter among the ladies to be reported this month. Mrs. Hunter made an even 160-yard putt on the short second hole at the Marlborough Golf Club, of Montreal. Strange to say, her partner, came within a few-inches of duplicating her friend’s famous teeshot. Then Mr. J. E, Lacasse, while playing a round on Sunday, the 11th of September, at the Quebee Golf Club with Mr. J. C. Bernier, made a hole-in-one at the fourth hole,. 145 yards, : Playing over the Humber Valley Course’at Toronto this month, Mr. Fred. Elliott, of Clinton, got the golfing thrill of his life when his mashie pitch of 110 yards at the third hole found the cup. His partner in crime was Mr. F. H. Wood, of Toronto. Far out at Vancouver, playing over another public course, the Hastings Park Municipal Golf Club, Mr. Stanley Bliss made the sixth hole in one stroke. This is the first occasion this hole has been reported as a Oneer. Souris, Manitoba, is making an onslaught on the financial ability of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ to carry out its promise of a year’s subscription to every golfer in Canada who makes a legitimate Hole-in-One, Last month the first hole at Souris was negotiated in one thrice in two days. Now Mrs. Curtis and Mr. Fred. Maitland are reported as having donethe trick. Mr. Forest Morey, of St. Catharines, did not stoop to anything less than 200 yards for his bid to fame, and chose the 206-yard second hole as most suited for a tee-to-tin shot. Mr. R. J. Magness, his opponent, sorrowfully vouches for the accuracy of this remarkable achievement. The fourth hole at St. Andrews’ Golf Course, Toronto, 130 yards long, is an ideal one- shot hole, according to Mr. E. M. Hurn, the manager, but it waited for Mr. H. O. McDonald 464 °

Former British Amateur Champion Says ofDel Monte Golf ‘*... The Course reminds me very much of the finest of British seaside golf courses, only that it far surpasses them in grandeurof scenery. The 7th and 8th holes are in my opinion, the most beautiful ofall the holes I have ever played.” AtDel Monte,the golf enthusiast’s dreamofthe ideal courseis three times fulfilled ... two championship courses along the shores of the Pacific, and the third inland at the Hotel. Climate and rare scenic beauty combine to make the Hotel Del Montesports domain a paradise for the sportsman. .. providing as it does facilities not only for golf, but every other form of outdoor sport as well.

to prove the statement which he did on September 24th by a neat tee shot which trickled into the cup. Doctors are pecularly prominent on our Roll of Fame and this month we welcome Dr. L. A. Stewart, of Ottawa, who made the sixth hole at Rivermead, 135 yards, in one fell stroke. It is particularly gratifying to see the Club Captains show the wayto their fellow members, so we congratulate Mr. F. P. L. Lane, of the Islemere Club, stontreal, on making an ace at the fifth hole, 136 yards. Playing at the Oxford Golf and Country Club, Woodstock, Ont., Mr. G. A. McAlpine and Mr. W. D. Sutherland returned cards of 49 and 50 respectively for the nine hole round, Supposedly a friendly match, but Mr. McAlpine had to sneak in an ‘‘eagle’’ one at the second, Some years ago Mr. Clarence James, a member of Summit, Toronto, made a hole-in-one on a Muskoka course and has now proved that it was no fluke by doing the same thing at the 17th ‘‘pulpit’’ hole at Summit. Mr. ©. F. (Charlie) Schlater, of Hamilton, was in fast company on September 14th ee at the Ancaster course, when he went out with Mr. Bert Adams, Mr. Max Yeates and the club professional, Nicol Thompson. Charlie proved to be the fastest of the lot, however, for at the 205 yard 13th he rolled his tee shot right into the hole. Nothing mean about

P these two hundred yarders. Now for the wide open spaces of the West, where they make holes-in-one as a matter of course, and the first one comes from the Bowness Club, of Calgary, where Mr. R. L. Brews, made the third hole in one beautiful stroke. He was playing with Mrs. Offerhaus, wholast month witnessed R. H. Melville, Jr., make the same identical stroke. Under the influence of two such examples we now expect to hear any time that Mrs. Offerhaus has repeated the performance. At the Riverside Club of Saskatoon, Mr. Otto F. Meilicke, of Dundurn, made the No. 7 hole in one, whilst playing in the Cooper Competition. Playing over the Ladies’ course of the Calgary St. Andrews Club with his wife, Mr. M. Gossip made a Oneer at the 105-yard eighth hole. Mr. A. H. Williamson, Hon. Treasurer of the Southwood Club, of Winnipeg, playing with Mr, J. 8S. Turner at the St. Charles Club, made the sixth hole in one stroke on Sep- tember 24th.

While playing over the Fort Qu’Appelle Country Club course, Mr. BE. H. Morrison, of Regina, skillfully negotiated the 160-yard third hole in one stroke. He was playing with Mr. W. D. Harris, also of Regina. The first from Peterborough this season is that of Mr. J. F. Strickland, who made the 135 yard fifth hole in one while playing with a fellow barrister, Mr. V. S. McElderry, who also has a hole in one to his eredit made some three years ago. Mr. George P. Laidlaw, of the Gorsebrook Club, Halifax, realized the golfing dream of his life when he sank his tee shot at the fifth hole, the length of which is 147 yards. He was playing at the time with Harry Foley, the club professional, and Mr. M. B. Me- Kinnon, of Charlottetown. Mr. Laidlaw pitched his ball to within one foot of the cup and his smile of satisfaction at a well executed shot broadened still further when the ball trickled nicely into the hole. When U. S. golfers come over on this side of the river they usually carry something back with them and one of the things that went back with Mr. J. D. Paterson, a prominent Buffalo golfer, was a duly authenticated score card in evidence that he had madeaoneer at the 127 yard fourteenth at Lookout Point. Ones are certainly welcome at Lookout, for there are several holes where double figures areliable to occur, Dr. A. McCausland commenced a match at the St. Thomas Public Golf Course with S. M. Goods by making the first hole in one. It was not his only good shot of the day, for several threes appeared upon his card. Another entry from St. Thomas is that of Mrs. McKay, who negotiated the 8th hole at the St. Thomas Golf and Country Club in one splendid stroke. The eighth is a difficult hole on account of a mental hazard consisting of a deep ravine immediately in front’ of the tee which calls for a carry of 90 yards, the total length of the hole being 160 yards. Mrs. McKayis doubly welcomed to our famous club. Mr. G. W. Hazen, of Halifax, is now a rabid convert to golf after one season’s ex- perience, and here is the reason why. On October Ist he holed in one at the second at Gorsebrook, and nowhe says he will keep at it for the next forty years. We are particularly pleased to enroll on the honour list a golfer of the standing of Mr. 8. L. McKay, a member of the Sarnia Golf Club, who made his oneder shot at the 14th on his home course. Mr. McKay is very prominent in Canadian golfing circles, being a director of the Sarnia Club and a member of the Canadian Seniors’ Association and was a member of the Canadian Senior Team that visited England this year. When he made the 20,000 to one shot he was playing in a friendly four-ball match with Mr. Thos, H. Cook and Colone] Robert Mackenzie, both members of the Seniors’ Association, and Mr. Harry J. Watson, another well known Sarnia golfer. Then comes the record hole for the month, a 299 yarder sank at the seventeenth hole of the Saskatoon Golf Club by the President of the Club, Bob Pinder. While not a record for Canada, it will probably be a long time before this feat is duplicated-in the Saskatoon district. The 17th is a difficult dog’s leg affair, but Mr. Pinder has been going direct for the green over a tall poplar bluff all season and is credited with driving the green at least 15 times during the year, so it will be seen thathe is a prodigious driver, the direct line from tee to green being 260 yards. He was playing at the time of his record shot with tour fellow members of the club, and two ladies who were on the green witnessed the ball pitch onto the green and trickle into the cup. This is Bob’s second ace, the tirst having been made some five years ago. Weare glad to Jearn that the feat was made the occasion for a celebration along traditional lines,

Archie Compston, fresh from winning the £1000 “News of the World” Tournament, finished in third place with 304. Percy Allis, British-born professional, but recently with the Wannsee Club, of Berlin, Germany, has won the German Open Championship for the second year in succession.

AN IMPROVED CADDIE CARD RECENTvisitor from Toronto to the Royal Montreal Golf Club was so A impressed with the caddie card in use there that he asked the “Canadian Golfer” to give a description of this ecard for the benefit of other clubs. It consists of a card 5 x 6 inches, printed on one side, but creased for folding. The top portion is used to describe the work done bythe caddie, the first line consisting of Ticket No...... 0.6.0... Waddie ONOF.G scares yates Daterht Since: Then comes two small squares, one indicating a two ball match and the other a four ball match, four squares in the nextline printed 9, 18, 27, 36, indicate the numberof holes played. In the top right is a double square headed field- ing balls and within the squares one-half hour and one hour. Signature line is across the bottom and instructions to the player printed in red ink consist of: “Please mark number of holes played,” and “Tipping is prohibited.” The portion of the card belowthecrease is used to describe how well the work was done by the caddie and carries four squares, which indicate the amount to be paid the caddie on a bonus system, based on 18 holes. These four squares are headed: Excellent +10, good, +5, fair, 0, poor—10, and immediately beloware four squares, holes played: 9, 18, 27, 36. Players’ instructions printed in red ink on this half consist of: “Please mark card for caddie bonus—also mark below what instructions are needed and deposit in the caddie box. Belowa ruled line are a series of small squares which can be marked to showthat the caddie needs instructions in any of the following subjects: cleaning ball, where to stand, watching ball, keeping up, handling elubs, replacing divots, duties at sand traps, duties at putting green, knowledge of game, interest in game, behaviour, appearance. Both halves of the card carrry the Ticket No. and Caddie No., so that when they are removed fromthe box at the end of the day they can be separated, one-half going to the accounting department and one-half to the caddie-master for filing as a record for the caddie. As a result of this system the caddies at the Royal Montreal are found to be considerably more efficient than those of the average metropolitan club. An adequate cad- die system is sorely lacking at many clubs, and their welfare is too often neglected, a condition which should be remedied. One of the advantages mentioned by the Toronto player impressed by this system was that it enabled the criticism of the caddie to be made in a confidential way, which helped to elevate the standard of the caddie to a higher plane than is usually associated with his work. These cards are quite inexpensive and any Secretary could install the system witha little study of the foregoing description andhis local conditions.

A CHAT ABOUT EXPENSES

(Special to the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ by Griffith Bonner, Member National Golf Writers’ Association, U. S. A.) XPENSES, a word sometimes shunned in manycircles, and yet one of the most important words in the English language, is especially important when the means are not forthcoming to meet said expenses. In thinking to-day of the expense question it appears very probable that shortly the entire golfing world will owe a debt of gratitude to Canadian Golf- dom for somewhat clarifying the situation. We have reference to the entrance of Canada into the Lesley Cup matches. Will this become an opening wedge to loosen the iron-bound restrictions that encircle on all sides the subject of expenses with reference to amateurs in golf? Perhaps the entrance of the Canadians in this competition can be made a special exception, similar to the ruling that governs the United States Golf Association public links championship. This ruling permits players to receive , 470 PRET

their travelling expenses to and from the site of a tournament, plus six dollars ($6.00), a day while attending the tournament from the Sectional Association governing the district which they represent, without violating the amateur definition. We admit, however, that when there are a numberof exceptions to a ruling, it fails to remain iron-bound oriron-clad, as the case may be In this brief article we are thinking of the Canadian golfers who must come to the United States annually for the next three years for the Lesley Cup matches. We have lived in Canada and do not doubt the ability of the golfers of the Dominion to get together a representative group of eight or ten players who are wealthy enough to spend their money and time. But right here we wonder if such an aggregation of golfers would be truly representative of Canada’s playing strength. Golf has become a universal game and in selecting a representative team a district or city often must look towards the players who are not so greatly blessed with the world’s financial goods. ‘To these players a journey and an extended visit away from home is at best a seri- ous question to be looked into. The aimof the Lesley Cup matches and other like events are to be true sporting tests of the best material available. We happen to knowthe Hon. Robert, “Bob” Lesley, the donor of this trophy, and knowhis aimis to stimulate and encourage interest in golf. To be able to secure the best players in a city or district there must just naturally be a considerable change or revision of the regulations relative to expenses. If the participation of the Canadian golfers in the Lesley Cup matches will be the beginning of a broader viewpoint on the part of the House of Golfing Representatives, who rule the destinies of this Second National game, a great debt of gratitude will be extended to all Canadian friends across the border.

The Architect’s Sketch of the Beach Grove Club House, which is rapidly nearing completion at Tecumseh, Ont. It has been designed and carried out in true Elizabethan style, and will be one of Ontario’s most beautiful club buildings. a building programmethat will give them one of the most modern, equipped club plants in Western Ontario. Everyeffort is being put forward to have a club house which will fit into the beautiful surroundings on which the previous club was located. These efforts have been most successfully carried out and the new club house is being erected with very little damage to the previous landscaping, which was greatly admired by all who visited this beautiful spot. The Elizabethanstyle of architecture was chosen as being most suitable, and this scheme is being carried out throughout the entire interior of the club. The general contract will cost in the neighbourhood of $125,000.00 and the interior furnishings and fixtures will cost approximately another $50,000.00. Pennington & Boyde, of Windsor,are the architects, both of these gentle- men being members of the club, are fully conversant with the requirements. The general construction is being carried out by the Border Construction Company, Limited, of Walkerville, and considerable credit is due to them for the manner in which they are performing their work. They have so far suc- cessfully avoided creating an unsightly collection of debris and odds and ends which so often accompany building construction. The result being that the grounds in close proximity of the club are being utilized without inter- ference. The writer would like to lay stress on this phase of the erection, as I am sure that many club executive who have gone through this experience have foundthat it has been necessary to undertake complete revision oftheir landscaping after such an undertaking, thereby incurring greatly increased expenditure along these lines. 475

The construction of the new club house was commenced on the first of August and at the time of writing the walls of the building are all above the first storey and the roof and shingling are nearing completion on both ends of the building, the object being tofirst of all complete the locker rooms so that they may beutilized while the centre section of the building is being finished. abe The membership of the clubis being limited to four hundred members and ample provision is being madefor their accommodation. A generous members’ Jocker room and grille room have been provided. For dining purposes the general dining room, with two private dining rooms, in addition to which there is a long porch overlooking the water, which has always been a favourite dining place and is located within twenty-five feet of the edge of Lake St. Clair, and provides a cool and delightful retreat after the day’s enjoyment on the course. The lounge roomof generous proportions will undoubtedly be the scene of many happy gatherings, dances and bridge parties by members and guests, three card rooms being provided for those who wish smaller private parties; these could also be used as private dining rooms should the occasion demand, An innovation of the newclub houseis the provision of bedrooms, a num- ber of which are being set aside for such members who wish to take upper- manent residence at the club house, the balance being set aside for members who may wish to occupythese in a transient manner. Refrigeration plant and kitchen equipment are being installed, compatible with the anticipated requirements of the club house as a complete unit. Theladies have also been well taken care of with a spacious locker room, showers, and a number of bedrooms, and many favourable comments have already been received from the fair members of the club. As the club house is open throughout the twelve months of the year, a couple of cheery fire- places have been installed, one in the gentlemen’s grille room and one in the main lounge, which with the crackling logs during the cold winter evenings will lend an atmosphere so desirable in a club of this nature. It is anticipated that the club will hold its opening party not later than the first of the New Year and reservations in this respect are already being made, which bespeaks well for capacity attendance on this occasion.

MRS. HORN WINS U. S. CHAMPIONSHIP Defeats Miss Orcutt in Final at Garden City by 5 and 4—Strong International Field—Miss Ada Mackenzie Wins Qualifying Medal—Mrs. W. G. Fraser's Splendid Match Play Is Feature

HE feature of the thirty-first United States’ Women’s Golf Championship was the strong international field whieh included the British and Freneh Champion, Mlle. Simone Thion de la Chaume, the for- mer title holder, Mrs. Alexa Stirling Fraser, now of Ottawa, and Miss Ada Mackenzie, of Toronto, the Canadian Champion, wholast year made a bold bid for the U. S. title. The critics conceded a strong chance for the trophy leaving the United States and regarded Miss Glenna Collett, Cham- pion in 1922 and 1925 and Miss Maureen Orcutt, the Metropolitan Champion as their best hopes to re- tain the cup at home. In the qualifying round Miss Mae- kenzie proved that their fears were well founded, for she outdistanced a record field to win the medal with a score of 77, five under the women’s par for the 6,443 yard course. Not only did the Canadian star win the medal, but she established a course record for women’s golf and equalled the record qualifying score made by Mrs. W. G. Fraser two years ago at St. Louis. The pace set was indeed fast, and Mrs. Stetson, the Champion, failed to qualify by a wide margin, returning 96, whilst 91 played off for the coveted positions. Miss Orcutt was in second place, tied with Mrs. Horn at 78. Mrs. Fraser had an 82, Miss Collett an 83, and the French girl, Mile. la Chaume was in 16th place with a ecard of 87. It will thus be seen that the Canadian girl led a_ very brilliant field, and to do it she played faultless golf, seven holes of which were played in a downpourof rain. In the first round two former cham- pions were defeated, largely by luck of the draw, which brought them against top notehers. Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson was defeated by none other than Mrs. W. G. Fraser, ‘and Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd was defeated a m ee by Mrs. Pressler, wife of a Los An- -- Y a f oer : Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn, holding the beau- geles professional, and recent winner tiful U. 8.

It was no surprise then, when a score of 80 won the Ontario Fall Tournament Jast month, especially with the Amateur Champion, “Don” Carrick and the Provincial Champion, “Ross” Somerville, not imeluded among the entrants. It was a sur- prise, however, when a junior re- turned the winning score in a field that included no less than three for- mer title-holders of the Canadian Amateur Championship. The winner, Gordon Taylor, of York Downs,is a lad of great promise, but strange to say has never won the junior title. In 1926 he was runner- up to young Nicol Thompson, and this year he was in third place. At Font- hill last month he hit his stride under most difficult conditions of course and weather, his card of 80 being three better than Fred Howe, of Burlington, who nosed out Jack Cameron for runner-up when Cameron took an eight on the par five tenth hole.

There will, of course, be many club events held during October and individuals will continue to play long after the first snowflurries, but the last page of the fixture calendar has been torn off the wall. Unfortunately another Can- adian championship has been lost to Canada, for the beautiful Duchess of Connaught gold cup, emblematic of the Canadian title has gone back to Portland, Me., in the possession of Miss Helen Payson, a tall, fair-haired, athletic girl who has the grace and courage of a champion and a person- ality which has made her very popu- lar with the golfing public of Canada. Miss Payson probably came through the easier half of the drawto defeat Miss Fritzi Stifel, of Wheeling, W. Va., by 3 and 2 in the final, but she nevertheless played splendid golf during the week to merit her victory, which she made more popular by her modest acceptance of success. The entry of 12 players who quali- fied in the recent U. S. Championship, marked the event as representative of the finest talent on the continent, and constituted a record for the C. L. G. U.

If you can keep your head, when others round you, Are raising theirs for ever to the sky; If you, in spite of frivolous temptation, Upon the little ball can keep your eye; If you can think of all the things they’ve taught you, Rememberall the don’ts you’ve ever read. And put in practice all the pros besought you, You yet may wear golf laurels round your head.

If you can wait, and not keep others waiting And never lose your temper, or despair, If you canlisten to a dull post mortem, Or gladly in another’s triumph share; If you can lose your match, and also money, Whenturning in a temperamentalscore, And smile serene, though all the fans get funny, You may not be a Vardon —you are more!

If you can drive ’em straight when idle chatter Distracts your mind when standing at the tee; If you can grin and say it doesn’t matter, No matter what the consequence may be; If you can putt when someone near is coughing, And offer him a lozenge when he’s done, And leave your irritation in the offing— You’ll be a blinking golfer yet, my son.

If you remain an optimistic duffer After you are fifty-five or more, And find yourself continually slipping, And playing worse than you have played before; If yet with hope that springeth still eternal, You strive in vain to make one decent score, You may,alas, remain a dub infernal, Yet rise, a star, upon the golden shore! —wW.
