Thro’ a vale of tribulation, | have wandered all the year, The laurels of suecess devoutly seeking, And the failures of the past have left me overcast With ‘‘records’’ that will hardly bear repeating. ‘Tis painful to reflect upon the awful wreck Of early hopes nowscattered and decaying, With naught to cheer my mind, but the erities’ words unkind, Reflecting on the rotten game I’m playing.
The golden days of autumn have changed to gloomygrey, And wintry wind, thesilent course is sweeping, While mysoul, in sorrowgrieves at the falling of the leaves, And the shadows o’er the landscape sadly creeping. It means the season’s done, with not a victory won, With medal scores disgracefully ascending Till they’ve reached a mark, which I admit with sickeningsigl Has passed the point of cursing, or defending.
It’s soul distressing very, yea positively—well, I cannot half describe the pain I’m feeling, To be beaten day by day by mediocreplay Would almost start a graven image squealing. Yet plugging to the end, | ’neath the burden bend, With hope that still eternally is springing, Till I play the final hole and this poor old duffer’s soul To a brighter, better course goes gladly winging.

The End of a The month of November virtually sees the end of the golfing Successful season so far as the greater part of Canada is concerned Golf Season Favoured British Columbia has its golf always with it, but in
the other provinces of the Dominion the curtain is now rung r
down on green and fair-green and the strident call of Fore! will be hushed e
for the next five months. Only the winter golf school remains and it will be S 2
very much in evidence in all the larger cities. Indications are too, that in e
r P several of the smaller cities these very desirable schools will also be in opera tion. Theyfill a very important place in the golf world to-day and throughout the continent thousands of reeruits to the Universal Game are added every a Winter as a result of their operations. It has been amply demonstrated that
golf can be taught and well taught at these schools. They are to be heartily S encouraged in every golf céntre
Reports received from Secretaries of clubs throughout the Dominion by e the “‘Canadian Golfer’’ amply demonstrate that golf has been played more in 1917 than in any other season in the history of the game here. Not a solitary course has been closed, whereas, on the other hand, eight new clubs have com Into existenee and many other clubs have lengthened thei links, improved their elub buildings and generally ‘‘put their house’’ in order for the enjo SS ment of their increasing membership and the better playing of the gam And this record during the fourth year of the war is certainly a striking tribute to the virility of the Royal and Ancient—an overwhelming testimony to its

health-giving attributes, to its ability to attract alike, both old and youngan incidentally keep them mentally and physically fit during these worrying an stressful days. Great is the game of golf, which numbers amongits adherent the leading statesmen, the leading professional, financial and business men 0 the country and the most influential women in all patriotic endeavour.
A Plea from Recently the ‘‘New York Times,’’ which occupies a place ‘‘The Times’’ newspaper circles in the States, akin to that generally conced for ‘‘the Poor its namesake, ‘‘The Thunderer’’ of London fame, in journalisti Golfer.’’ circles of Great Britain, devoted a leading editorial to ‘‘T| 7
Poor Golfer.’’ Herewith some extracts :— aa 2
‘Tn the host of golfers very few reach the coveted domain of super-golf. The averag < player, capable of bulging with pride, when his score drops below 100 strokes, furnish« most of the capital and enthusiasm that maintain private courses and public links. If M Super-Golfer and his fellow-experts were segregated upon greens of their own, confin¢ within bunkers built solely with their own funds, limited to traps dug with no aid fr the despised tyro, it is easy to imagine how much the ancient game would lose of x popular interest. To watch and admire marvelous individuals who make par scores = stimulus necessary to the average players’ golf education; he looks upon the master club j man as proof that it is possible for a human to attain that excellence which he hims« : touches only on rare occasions upon this or that fairway. But it is chiefly his own pox % efforts, coupled with a baseless hope which golf somehow encourages in deluded min that keep alive his interest in the game. Whyis it, then, that our American courses—orthe best of them, at any rate—are beil diverted to the requirements of the super-golfer? The week-end player, without enoug leisure time for constant practice, or lacking the natural aptitude for developing into mighty player, finds his club links turned into a playground fit only for professionals a for amateurs of conspicuous skill. Traps interrupt his every stroke. Bunkers rise to st the ball that speeds to the uttermost limits of his reach. Distances are measured so i to destroy even the fairly proficient player’s score; none but the par wizard can atta them. The whole layout of fairways and greens accords with the needs or fancies of tho scarce creatures whose cards abound in ‘‘eagles’’ or ‘‘birdies;’’ who, if they ever fou themselves clouting a ball as many times as ninety or a hundred to cover eighteen hol would seek treatment for their nerves and muscles at the nearest hospital. It may be that the average golfer is a spineless being, ashamed to raise a voice uphold his rights in the club. Or perhaps he is too busy counting his strokes to med
A Canadian In reference to the membership of the Senior’s Golf Associat! Senior Golf of the United States, it is very truly stated: ‘‘They are n Association who have done something in the world; something in eve : walk of life; something that means something to Americ citizenship.’’ The Association includes among its members Supreme Cou judges, leading edueationists, bankers, doctors, authors, journalists, mal facturers, in fact, prominent men in every branch and phase of activity. 2a The youngest man who can compete in the Senior’s tournament must ha ; arrived at years of discretion to the tune offifty-five.

Class B are men from 60 to 64 years of age. Class C embraces entrants from 65 to 69 years, whilst Class D ealls for ‘‘youths’’ of 70 and upwards At the recent annual tournament at Apawamis, Rye, N.Y., 376 frisky young chaps disported themselves for four days chasing ‘‘the naughty little, sporty little, gay golf ball,’ and at the annual dinner, which wound up a record ; event they all testified to having had the most glorious time of their young : lives. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ is of the opinion that in the Dominion, there is a splendid opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the Semiors of the United 1 States and to institute a similar association here. There are hundreds of volfers in Canada who are eligible for just such a glorious golfing outing ; t It would bring prominent men together from all parts of the Dominion and i from a health, business and enjoyable standpoint generally, such a tournament i ‘ would certainly be a plus proposition. 5 z Mr. Frank Presbrey of New York, is Chairman of the Tournament Com ; is mittee of the Seniors’ Association in the States and the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’ 1 has his word for it, that he would be only too pleased to give all the particulars ; necessary to successfully launch such an Association in this country } Herewith are extracts from Mr. Presbrey’s very interesting letter to thi Kditor :— { B ‘*Having served for three years as Chairman of the Seniors’ Tournament, [ will be \ j : pleased to give anyone who undertakes to form a Canadian Association full details of our organization and help in every way I can, including a full set of our printed matter, if H desired. I am enclosing you one of our Year Books, giving you the By-Laws and list of 1 members. Since this book was printed we have changed the By-Laws somewhat; the f chief items being the employing of a Corresponding Secretary of the Association to relieve } the Chairman of correspondence, and limiting the membership to 500. The Association i was growing to an unwieldy number and we decided to limit it to 500 and now have a , Z waiting list of about 50 } ; **Tf you form an association, it would be a particularly nice thing to arrange a mateh \ in Boston, or some convenient place, between a team from your association and one fron ) the ‘association in the United States. A great deal of'interest could be aroused in this H and it would be a notable affair. “Tf there are any further details, please command me | That reference to an International match makes particularly good reading y The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ would be glad to hear from Senior golfers throughout j Canada, their opinion in reference to forming such a desirable association in j the Dominion.

Thr government has taken over the canvas mills and no more golf bags will bh made. x With a coal shortage looming large and the oldest inhabitant predicting a winter of the severest sort, happy the golfer whois arranging soon to flit southwards. * % * Col.

*** It is of course rather a hard matter to even approximate the amount raised the past season on Canadian golf courses for Patriotic purposes, but the Editoris inelined to think that $50,000 would not by any means be an ove} estimate. Take Toronto for instance. The eight clubs in that. city can bi safely credited with $10,000 or more— three clubs alone contributed betwee! $5,000 and $6,000. Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Hamilton and other golfing centres have also given of their thousands and there is not a club howeve1 small that has not $100 or moreto its credit. Oh yes, fifty thousand dollar as the patriotic contribution for 1917, of the Canadian golf clubs is well withi the mark. % a “Tf the test of the artist is in the skill and ease with which he turnsout hi masterpiece,’’ says Grantland Rice, the well known golferitic, ‘‘then Ovi: on his present form is an artist extraordinary. Wehave never seen a golf: since Harry Vardon’s play in this country who secured results with such co! summate ease and confidence. The Boston star is not playing brilliant! but he is achieving the wonderful effects without any work whatsoever, as the game was the simplest and easiest ever created Ouimet’s rhythm flawless. From thetee to the cup there isn’t a jerk or a quiverin anystrok but rather a wonderful steadiness and certainty. In his putting he has all tl confidence of a star upon the green. There isn’t the slightest hesitation on h part, no matter how hard the putt. He makes his decision quickly, and thi steps up and taps the ball. Ouimet in this respect is a fine example to tho whofiddle and fuss around the greens and finally work themselves into a you! frenzy before hitting the ball. His philosophy on the putting green is thi ‘‘Yourfirst judgment is generally the best. Hit the ball then, and you eit! hole it or you don’t. But why bother either way?’’
*** Mr. Mahlon K. Cowan, K.C., one of the leaders of the Ontario Bar, and member of the law firm of Fasken, Cowan & Chadwick, Toronto, died Octob: 28th after a serious illness of three months. His widow and one daught survive him. Deceased, who had been suffering from ill-health during ¢! past twelve months, was particularly known as a Railway counsel.

Once again it has been pretty decisively demonstrated that ‘‘mere man } expert golfer though he maybe, cannot give an expert feminine player a half handicap and come home a winner.

Hi. lton some years ago had to acknowledge defeat }} at the hands of Miss Cecelia Leitch 2 and 1 when he conceded her these odds } and now Mr. Jerome rTn ravers has been taken into camp by that versatile i English player, Mrs. Gavin (now resident in the States) under similar cir cumstances, by the decisive margin of 7 and 6. When the match was all over Mr. Travers confessed that the strain of playing Harry Vardon on even terms would be infinitely less than trying to concede such odds to a player of Mrs Gavin’s ability. ‘‘Woman, lovely woman’’ is certainly taking her place in Hi the sun these 20th Century days ;
Writing of ‘‘War’s Effects on Golf,’’ in the New York ‘‘Golf Illustrated Mr. R KE. Howard, the well known British golfer says { **Another evolution to which America will become more and more accustomed is the \ merging of the elements of peace and war on the links. The evidences of this change ii , Britain are manifold On many courses. it frequently happens that Red Cross nurse A with a brief interval in which to obtain recreation, play their rounds in the white ip ' which are emblematic of their noble mission.

That is a pretty large order, but } the Editor rather thinks that the score made by Abe Mitchel, the mighty British professional swatter, on the well known Sonning course, near Reading
land, just about carries off the palm. Sonning is an extremely well trapped e course of 6,135 yards. These are Mitchel)’s figures, the card by the way, sent in to the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ by a Canadian follower of the game, who w as training at the flying school near Sonning: 1) Out 3,3,4, 3,4,4, 5,4,3,—33 |

day before Thanksgiving, the Weather Man smiling as usual and donat e ing them an ideal day. R There was an almost entirely new lot of boys competing this year, and they ranged in age from 7 to 13 years. The former redoubtable champion, Larry Thornton, had grown up graduated and become Professional Freeman’s right hand man. Othe ‘‘veterans,’’ had drifted into various occupations which did not permit ot time for the royal and ancient game. The hour set for the contest was 7 a.m., and a short sighted member hastening towards the links for an early morning lesson, paused in dismay) at the sight of a pair of legs waving wildly in the air. ‘‘Dear me”’ hesighed nervously, ‘‘there must have been another aeroplane accident. Someone has fallen out.’’ On his arrival at the club however, he discovered his mistake that it was merely the morning set apart for the caddies’ match, and the boys killing time until their game was ealled. As usual they were divided into two classes. The first class boys played the first 3 and last 6 holes, twice—the secon class, the sameonce. In the former, Edgar David was champion with a score of 112. Hora Clarke came second, doing his bit in 122, while Robbie Hall was third in 12¢ The winnerin the second class was George Moore, who did the 9 holes i 90. Alex.

President Wilson Enjoys the Game and Belongs | to Many Clubs HE name of President Woodrow Wilson will go down the ages as one | of the great men in the Great War. For nearly three years he was possibly one of the most maligned and mis represented men in the Universe. His was a most difficult role to fill. Assailed by the pro-German of his people as pro-Ally in his sentiments and leanings and accused by the warmfriends of the Entente Cordiale with at least condoning Teuton frightfulness and lacking in the most fundamental principles of common humanity, his path for many long months was anything but the ‘‘ prim- rose path,’’ but rather a path beset by thorns and obstacles innumer- able, both of a political and social character. The Lusitania murders and a dozen other cases of frightfulness waged against his own people, to- gether with German intrigues and plots within and without, were borne in comparative silence by the great head of a great nation. Then came the Huns breaking of the solemn compact in reference to the sub- marine policy in regard to neutrals and the silent statesman becamethe flaming patriot and thefirst week in April sawthe alleged man of ‘‘ peace at any price’’ unleash the dogs of war and he and his people, follow- ing his lead, almost as a unit range themselves on the side of Democracy and Humanity. It was magnificent ! It thrilled the whole Anglo-Saxon world. It sounded the death knell of Teuton hopes for universal doim- ination and the principal place in the sun. Woodrow Wilson at one hound had proved himself a worthy successor to Lincoln, the well beloved —a doer of things, not a dreamer a Statesman of the highest type, and not a political trimmer. ’ Mr. Wilson to-day is very much President Wilson Recreates at the
in the world’s limelight and he is ‘‘Game of Gowff.’’ e leading his people in a mannerthat 1s calling for unstinted praise and unbounded commendation N The President is a splendid example of the value of the doctrine of the open air and sunshine. Rain orshine, he makes it a practise to take out-door exercise and as a result, notwithstanding the great strain placed upon him by the manifold duties of his exalted offiee—ten times increased as a result of the war—heis mentally and physically fit in every sense of the word.
As all the world knows he is a keen golfer and is almost daily to be seen E on the courses adjacent to the Capital. Herewith a photo of the advisor and

golfing attitude. That he is not exclusive in his club membership is demon strated hy the number of courses he plays over. Mr. Tumulty, Secretary t the President, writes the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’:—‘The President plays gol! from time to time at the Chevy Chase Club, the Columbia Country Club, th: Washington Country Club, the Washington Suburban Club, the Kirkside Clul and the Bannockburn Country Club, all adjacent to Washington.’’ May he be spared many, many years to lead his people, to occupy th: pre-eminent place he undoubtedly occupies in the affairs of the world and ti play and enjoy the Royal and Ancien‘—a game which has never numbere: amone its devotees, a more exalted adherent.

APTAIN K. V. Bunnell, of the 125th Battalion, writing to the Associate io Nditor of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer,’’ from Witley Camp, England, says | **Having had the opportunity of playing a little golf lately, it naturally remind H me of some of our ‘‘birdie’’ games on the Brantford course.

Wooden Club Play N driving, | strive particularly to make the descent of my stroke the sam« as the ascent. I consider my swing as a whole with two equal parts, and my) object is to make these halves identical, that is, when I go back, right elbow is in myright side, my left arm almost straight; when I follow through myleft elbowis in myleft side and my arm almost straight. Also, on the backword stroke, my right knee braces, and the same work is performed by myleft kne on the follow through. Walter Hagen, one of our most famous of home-bred professionals, plays a splendid wooden club game. In my mental picture of him, he hits from a ‘‘take-off,’’ He puts his right foot far back, throws his club-head throug! with his whole strength, following after; his follow through is very full, except that he is careful to avoid the stiff arm. His method illustrates what | mea) when I say that a player should swing his arms independently of the body, unt) he feels the club-face meeting the ball; the strength of the body must follow not precede—the actual contact of club-face and ball. One must be particularly careful in this regard when playing full woode: shots in a wind, for there is something in the rustling air that seems to Ww steady a player, and tends to make him rush his shots. That is, he tries 1: hit the ball too hard, and in such attempt his strength gets away from him and its full force is somewhat dissipated before the meeting of the elub-hea and ball—his hands are forced from the downward stroke, and a miserabl: slice is the result. It is one of the most common errors to fail to wait for th ¢club-head when playing in a wind, and this tendency applies in a greater o lesser degree when the wind is heavy, or light, and is somewhat to be remen bered even on comparativelystill days. This is the idea to bear in mind: Be sure to get the club-head on the ba before you put the real body strength into the shot. It is a strange thing, but the beginner usually finds the iron club easi than the wooden, and in consequence he neglects the driver and the brassie so long a time that he never really conquers them. This is a great pity, fo the wooden shot is really the easiest one of the game, and all that is necessai to learn it is a little patience in foregoing temporary advantage, and a litt courage in facing the initial difficulty. The iron club as a driver is a dece| tive tool; it is really a thing of fine points for very special work, and on first-class course was never intended to do the work of a wooden club. The wooden club is played for distance, and rightly executed, its rea must always be greater than that of any iron club. Of course, an iron elub c: do excellent makeshift work on a dry course, where one can play for a ro and thus utilize the superior direction of the iron, but such a course is not championship condition, and the good golfer must learn to use each club for | legitimate work, A good hole is not complete without a good tee shot, and a testing cow demands a good drive. I have found the following ideas of practical bene! in the execution of a drive: The imaginaryline to the hole is a straight 01 leading from a point behind the ball through it to the hole Therefore place the elub-head back of the ball at right angles to the imaginary lint the hole. At the start let the shoulder be parallel with the imaginary line; at rig angles to the line going back, and at right angles going through. During the progress of the stroke pull the club-head down with the le hand until it meets the ball fairly ; the result will be a clean follow through, a1 the body will go right into the blow.
Relax, keep the muscles loose and let the stroke be rhythmical t a O

And Mr. Jesse Guilford Easily Defeat Mr. Charles Evans and Mr D. E. Sawyer—Rating of the Best Massachusetts Amateurs Special Correspondence, Mr. Brice 8. 1 ans, Boston
RIVATE Francis Ouimet of the 301st infantry, Camp Devens, Ayer Mass., otherwise recognized as the Western amateur golf champion, pat
nered with Jesse Guilford, the Massachusetts amate uy) champion SuUCEL fully withheld the prestige ol the Kastern golfers by defeating Chiel van
United States open and amateur champion and )D, 1 sawyer o Wheaton i il 36 hole best ball affair by 6 up and 4 to go This Hast vs. West match was held on the links of the Brae-Burn Country Club of West Newton, October 27th, before an enthusiastic gallery of 1,500 who all contributed their bit to the athletic equipment of Camp Deven
It is only fair to say that Mr. Evans had never previously played on thi ——— Brae Burn course and that Mr. Sawyer had only one day experience, but this handieap was far lessened by the fact that Mi Ouimet has been handling a gun and needless to relate i n his own words that ‘‘a driver felt like a whip in my hands.’’ Had Chick Evans had .the control of his putter in accordance with the balance of his game, the mateh would have been carried farther and perhaps the confidence would have resulted in an ultimate victory for his side, but his short game was woefully weak and it does not harbor well for any pan to miss two and three foot putts when opposing the Ouiment-Guilford cor bination. ’ There was no question as to the superiority of Mr. Ouimet play ove) his rival, Mr. Kvans, for looking over the mateh from an individual stand point he was 4 up in the morning round and eventually >and 2, allowing for impartial approximations Mr. Ouimet, in his khaki regalia and wearihg glasses, made rather a mor striking appearance than any of the other competitors and was warmly greeted by the spectators of the morning round, Mr. Evans and Mr. Sawyer were also given a cordial reception for their courtesy in visiting the eastern cours The first nine holes fo a 34 for the last nine uhnd the mateh all square, but then Ouimet came back it oles, leaving the eastern team six up with half of the mnateh completed The first nine of the a fternoon’s play found Mr, Kyans a his very best and th turn ree of the six holes lead had been wiped away at the This gain was short lived as three holes under par gave the Massachusett boys the match MR. EVANS’ LONG DRIVING
The writer was interested to note how Messrs. vans and awyer would rare in comparison with Messrs. Ouimet and Guilford admittedly two of the longest drivers in the east as far as the long game was concerned An analysis of the driving on the 30 holes where distance w as the ultimate objeet shows that Mr. Evans had the longest ball 12 timc with o total of 9 for Mi Guilford, 5 for Mr. Sawyer and 4 for Mr. Ouimet
The distance that Mr. Evans obtained was a great surprise to the follo Wel ——————— of the game, as while he was generally acknowledged a long hitte il Wa not thought his tee shots would compare favorably with either My Guilford o1 Mr. Ouimet The latter, however, found it quite difficult to keep both direc ion and distance in the same catagory as the training with the heavy gun
materially affected the timing of his wooden clubs SS Mr. Guilford’s medal was some two shots better even than Mr, Ouimet Who in turn led the United States champion by an equal amount The best i
single round of the day, 74, was featured by Mr. Ouimet in the morning pla <
Mr. Ouimet won 5 holes outright and shared 3 other ith his partner >

Mr. Guilford won 3 holes unaided. Mr. Evans won 2 and Mr. Sawyer1 hol and they divided the honour of the victory on two others, The title of the four ball championship, while only an informal honow seems to rest with Messrs. Ouimet and Guilford without question, they havin: defeated Brady and Tellier in 3 out of 4 matches; Jerome Travers and Oswal Kirkby in three straight battles and lastly and by no means least, the Chicag pair. Mr. Ouimet has vanquished Mike Brady in two of three individual mat ches and coming as these affairs have, in the midst of his eall to arms, | deserves great eredit therefor. MR. OUIMET AND THE WAR In due justice to Francis Ouimet, I feel it only fair to reply to an arti published in the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ which stated that he had claimed exem tion from draft duty in order to play golf for the Red Cross and various oth: inilitary organizations. Kvidently the writer of the article was not as accu ately informed as to the true status of affairs as he should have been to hay written a story that is not in accordance with the good patriot and sportsma that Mr. Ouimet has the reputation of being with all eastern golfers. Previous to the draft drawings, Mr. Ouimet, being of eligible age, ha been competing in various events for the benefit of the American Red Cros unit When his name was drawn amongthe first quota in his home tow: srookline, the question arose in the minds of many golfers and promine) business men whether or not it would be advisable to let Mr. Ouimet “‘his bit’’ in helping raise funds through the means of exhibition match: rather than by shouldering a musket. However the parties who agitated th movement were unaware of the fact that Uncle Sam does not offer exemptio even for this worthy purpose and while Mr. Ouimet had no hand in this moy ment, others took it for granted that he had asked for exemption on tl account. It may be stated with the backing of every golfer cognisant oft! true facts, that Mr. Ouimet did not and had no intentions of pleading exem tion on that or any other account and when his physical examination w passed with flying colors, he offered himself as a private in the infant ready to do his duty for his flag. With his acquaintance and popularity, h he wished, he could have obtained a commission in perhaps some other bran ' of the service, but he declined, stating that he wanted to do the work he best suited for, and that inexperience in military affairs made it necessa for him to start in at the bottom to learn and to work. I trust that | gentleman that wrote the article calling in question Mr. Ouimet’s patriotis may one day meet him face to face and learn what and who Francis Ouimet and I have no doubt that he would become one of Ouimet’s most ard admirers. THE STANDING OF THE AMATEURS Last yearat this time I attempted to rate the 10 best amateur golfers Massachusetts for the readers of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer.’’ This season, W the absence of the National open, amateur and state championships, and w the war depleting the ranks of those who formerly patronized the loeal affa1 I will list only those who have played sufficiently to come in myestimatio: the select circle.

% * One of the most enthusiastic golfers in London is Mr. Pomeroy Burto1 Captain of the American Golfing Society and winner of Ambassador Pag: cup recently. He ought perhaps to play a ‘‘splarkling’’ game with such suggestive name. woe At the Red Cross exhibition match played at Harrogate, Edward Ray wa in great form and defeated Harry Vardon, the open champion, 5 and 3. At the charity match at Manchester, Braid and Renouf defeated Ray and Taylo: The winners’ best ball was 70, the losers’ 71. :

‘*Golfing,’’ London, pays the following well deserved tribute to Vardon Taylor, Braid and Ray:—‘‘We think it high time to make acknowledgement of the service that our big First Four have given to the country during these three crimson years. Too old to seek the fatal glory of the Field, they have nobly performed the part that is not for show and given graciously their time and their talents, worth big money in the days of peace, to ease the ache ot suffering man and aid every movement that has high humanity for its purpose Many thousands of pounds have accrued to the Red Cross and other admirable agencies at the instance of the famous Four, and we feel that gratitude is due to them from every golfer in the Kingdom forthe lead they have given to lovers of the ancient game.’’

Property in Found Golf ] Jalls f
| The Honourable Wallace Nesbitt, K.C., Gives an Interesting Decision
VERY prominent Montreal golfer recently wrote the Nditor of the ‘Can adian Golfer’’: I had a discussion the other day at one of our clubs about the property in golf ball found by a caddy. If I employ a caddy and while he is looking for a ball I have lost, he finds another, to whom does it belong—the caddy or me? I say that I am paying him for his time and anything he does while so employed is for my benefit, This must be the law, but it does not seem to be the universal practice. J should like to see the question discussed, ‘It would also be interesting to discuss the question whether a person can retail sproperty in a ball he has lost if he has put his initials on it. Are not golf balls—lik« some animals—ferae natural and therfore not capable of private ownership after they ha escaped from the custody of their temporary holder?’’ As our correspondent’s questions hardly came under the jurisdiction o| the Rules of Golf Committee, the Editor of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ asked thi eminent Counsel, the Honourable Wallace Nesbitt, K.C., of Toronto, if he would give a ruling and he most courteously has done so as follows: *fAs a matter of law, the loss of a ball does not forfeit the property in it any more than the loss of a purse, and if the owner could identify it he is entitled to claim a ba from any person who finds it. ‘fAs between the caddie and the golfer, the ball, I think, would belong to the eaddic as it could not be said to come within the scope of his employment and he would be so ti speak, as to that, ‘‘on his own.’’ ‘*Undoubtedly a person whose initials are on a ball could claim it from anybody whose possession he found it. The proper practice, of course, would be for every caddie golfer finding a ball to turn it into the pro. to see if anybody could satisfy the pro. tha he was the owner of the ball which had been lost.’’ This is a sound and authoritative ruling and should be observed on eve! golf course.—Editor ‘‘Canadian Golfer.’’

370 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol, III, No. 7 H & Vice-President, Ff. C. Laberge; Directors, C. W. Legault, Horace Gohier, Gus tave Monette, and Z Filion; Secretary and Manager, J. L. Bigras. The Club Laval of the Lake, Limited,’’ was only incorporated byletters patent of the Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Quebee on the 7th ot February, 1917. Work on the new links was started the latter end of April and bythe ri beginning of July, 5 holes were in commission and the members started to play this short course. It is the intention to have a nine hole course in operation by the beginning of 1918 and a full 18 hole course by the spring of 1919. Plans have already been prepared for a most artistic club house, but in the meantime a small ‘‘rest-house’’ is being utilized. The commodious new club house, it is hoped will be started early in 1918, by which time it is thought the Canadian Northern Railway will be built to the links—which will be a great boon. The afternoon of the informal opening on October 20th, was thoroughly enjoyed by the prominent members of the Montreal bar, notaries, physicians and leading members of the financial and commercial life of the Metropolis Quite a feature was the playing for a splendid challenge cup presented by) Mr. Ernest R. Décary, a prominent notary of Montreal, which will be competed for by the members every season. Then followed refreshments and speech making. Mr. Raoul G. de Lorimier, K.C., the energetic President, welcomed in a most delightful manner, the many guests and explained to them the plans fo: the future. He stated that in addition to golf, the club intended to have tennis courts, croquet, bowling greens, a boating club for the summer amusement o! the members and skating, ski-ing, tobogganing and probably a bowlingalle for the winter months, so it will be seen that the new club is going to b thoroughly equipped to look after the wants of all, no matter how diversifie: their tastes. The situation of the new elub is delightful. It faces St. Hustache, th Lake of Two Mountains and Riviere de Prairies and Revieres des Mille [les A more charminglocation could not be imagined and a great future is undoubt edly in store for ‘‘ Laval Du Lae Golf Club.’’ by the way, it is an erroneous idea that the club is exclusively for t! French-Canadian population, but it will be accessible to all of worth an standing. The ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ heartily wishes the ‘‘Club Laval on the Lake its capable Board of Directors, and its sporting course every success in tl years to come. Golfers Will Be Taxed N YORK, October 22.—The old axiom, there’s no escaping death and taxes brought home to the golfers. In this instance some of the links frequenters are go to get badly bunkered, for the United States Government in casting about for vario means of raising money to carry on the war has seen to it that the dealer as well as tl player is not overlooked. Club memb rs will also have to dance to the new tune, which provides that beginn with the first of next month, a 10 per cent. tax will be levied on all dues of more th $12 a year. Exceptions are to be made of fraternal organizations operating for ¢ b nefit of members exclusively. The total will run into the thousands. Every g¢ or country club will be included, The law provides for a tax on the individual, but it probably result in the club collecting the money, which in turn will hand it over to t Government. That the golf professional as well as deal rs in other branches of sport will not able to elude the tentacles of the tax octopus may be seen by the following extract fro the new law: ‘‘Upon all tennis racquets, golf clubs, baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, ba of all kinds, including baseballs, footballs, tennis, golf, lacrosse, billiard and pool ba fishing rods and reels, billiard and pool tables, chess and checker boards and pieces, 4 games and parts of games (excepting playing cards and children’s toys) and games by the manufacturer, a tax equivalent to three per centum of the price for which so sold q
d e i News From the United States
Special Correspondence to “Canadian Golfer’’ from © Runner-up”’
There is strong prospect of the Yosemite Valley getting a nine hole course as a starter for a tentative stretch has been staked out near Wawona Another course is underconsideration at Lake Tahoe, where hotel interests have designs upon the well known forty acre horse pasture
With three of its four titles, the amateur, professional and junior in Eastern hands, the Western Association is not likely to look back upon 1917 as a red letter year. No Easterners figured in the woman’s event, or that honour, too, might have been transplanted to the Atlantic slope
No sport cultivates the walking habit as much as” golt \ Western mathematician has carefully computed that Francis Ouimet and Kenneth Hdwards, finalists, walked 72 miles during the recent Western Amateur Championship. Along that line, the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ has estimated that when Leslie Bell lately played 101 holes in a single day at the Calgary Club his home course, he coverd 30 miles on the hoot
There is one notable figure in American golf that the tocsin of the Seniors has never summoned to Apawamis George F. Baker, since J. Pierpont Mor gan’s death doubtless the best known banker in America , how in his 75th year Mr. Baker was more than three score and ten when he took up the game and considering that fact, plays remarkably well. Over his home course at Tuxedo the only place he golfs, except when touring at a distance, he always plays two balls by which he gets double the ordinary amount of practice and exereis In going over the ground. Once in a while he misses the ball altogether, but as a rule, his driving would attract attention anywhere
Looking ahead to next season, it is not difficult to see the trend toward tournaments, including all sorts of miscellaneous features or instance, the Oak Bluff Club of Massachusetts has already raised several hundred dollars toward a five-day affair in 1918, comprising separate professional and amatew
features and winding up with a combination of the two. Possibly a tew women players will also figure therein Something along the same line wa carried out, last July in the war benefit fixture of the Professional Golfer Association, which moved to a new camping ground every day Such a tour ing scheme unquestionably arouses more interest than holding the whole affair at one point which directly draws upon only a single section
The scheme for a golf club exelusively for the numerous negroes of At lantie City, at Pleasantville, a few miles outside the City by the Sea, has been I fone one better by the colored country elub, launched two months ago in Cheshire, Conn., which already has more than 200 members, drawn throughout the State and as far south as Washington and Tennessee Atlantie City hostelry proprietors were not much inclined to encourage the projeet in the fear that on tournament days hotel patrons might have to wait interminably
for meals. Just now the Cheshire Club has only a five hole course A Water SSS bury negro, long head waiter at a hotel there, had his eye for years on the Present club property as a residence for himself. Finally he = bought it but yj 0 371 }

converted it to club uses. The organization, however, is an independent affaii renting from him. Just now the Waterbury colored churches are strenuous! opposing the club’s application for a liquor license, yet one of the New Haver
negro pastors has promised that his Sunday School will next season hold it i
annual picnic in the grove that borders the links. Somehow, Scotia’s pastim b
e r
has never appealed to the colored race, although there are thousands of negr a caddies, even in the north. It is only when Indian and Africian blood ha
mingled, as in the case of the Shinnecock tribe at the tip of Long Island, tha eee
r golfing proficiency has been found among the Etheopian stock. John Shipper o long professional at the Maidstone Club, Easthampton, furnished the best instance in point. Even to-day there are comparatively few professionals wh can beat him. Everybody wishes success to the darkies’ venture at Cheshir but it does seem like a play on words to predict a bright future forit.
Not even Bobby Jones lias a more unique golfing personality than Day Herron, who, last week, through winning the Atlantie City tournament cam: more squarely into the spotlight than at any time since the qualifying roun of the National Amateur championship at Detroit, in 1915. As a third year student he this year won Old Nassau’s title. The Pittsburgher is so luxuriant ly upholstered that he couldn't get into the Aerial Corps. However, there wa no use attempting to work off his overweight, as he was also under age. H stalks along in his matches with a stolidity that not even the crack of doo in the offing could shake. He has an even greater powerof recovery than mos college stars possess, besides being a wonderful putter. When he ripens a bit through age, there will scarcely be a player in the country who ean hold hin provided his energies are not divided by other sports. There has seldom been a more comical contrast in tournament play tha that furnished by Herron in opposing, respectively, in the anti penultima and semi-final rounds. Maurice Risley and Ernest Shackleford, both of A lantie City and both living skeletons. The angular Shackleford towered oy his excess baggage antagonist on the ‘‘throw me down a match”’ plan and t! air seemed full of the latter’s-knees and elbows. Their ‘‘side by each’’ asp: was nothing short of Weberfieldian. 4% Spies are to be found as often at the country club and alongthe golfli as elsewhere. If you go to jail or even hell you can’t escape them. This no fable, but it carries with it a moral. Keep your mouth closed and bolt especially as much of the relief work is planned at suburban elubs The isn’t the slightest doubt that a certain well known and previously esteem golfer in the metropolitan district has been distributing moneyin the inter of German propaganda. No, he isn’t a Hun, but comes of an Allied nat that has been bled white by the Berlin beasts. That’s the strange part o! Almost two years ago, this golfer who has been of real service to the ga said to me that in the long run the German invasion of several countries, wo serve to put them on a sounder business basis. Although his remark ce: there, it has been recalled to my wondering mind hundreds of times sit The question finally became to me: ‘‘Did my ears deceive me?’’ Alas At the recent Seniors’ tournament at Apawamis, one of the most distinguis! contestants who lives in the same place as afore mentioned individual, said me‘ ‘‘Our townsfolk are almost ready to mob for there isn’t the slig est doubt that he has been seeking to promote German interest and has p money to others to do the same thing.’’ This ‘‘oldster golfer’’ never drean of the tell-tale sentiment that the propoganist had half unwittingly uttered me, but I could remain silent no longer. Then and there we exchanged fidences which left no doubt as to the offender In all the land there could scarcely have been found a sportsman ]

o p through his antecedents, education and surroundings, would have been con sidered further from suspicion In addition, this wolf in sheep’s clothing bears a striking physical resemblance to a politician of international proimin ence who has been amongthe strongest of anti-Teutoniec radicals from the start of the Huropean struggle. The masquerader’s name may be disclosed any minute in these days of hourly revelations.
Soldiers policed the Mohawk course .for the first time at an Hastern
exhibition. Considering that a war fund benefited, their employment is likely to set a general example, especially as the service proved efficient Mher was another innovation at Mohawk for New York State, at least The ‘‘eus tomers’’ were divided into classes, each having a different style of badar indicating the size of contributions. Contributing patrons paid $5; sub seribing patrons $2 and just plain patrons $1 each Going on that plan, James Barber, Englewood, N. J the steamship proprietor, who gave five hundred dollars to the Red Cross when his home organization was visited, would wear more badges than John Philip Sousa. Indeed, he would be plastered with them from head to foot and the big pasteboard dots would make him look like a Pierrot from a distance.

Progressive Georgian Bay Town Will Open Fine New Links Next Season IDLAND, that well known summer resort, shipping and commercial centre of the Georgian Bay district, with its unrivalled harbow l How on the golfing map, or rather will be next year. THarly this season Mr. James Playfair and other progressive men of the town secured 135 acres of fine rolling ground (sandy loam) 144 miles from Midland and equa distant from that other well known resort, Penetanguishene and entrusted Nicol Thompson, the expert Hamilton golf architect, with laying out an up-to-date
9 hole course, which will be later on converted into 18 holes And a splendi iob he has made of the undertaking. No expense in reason, was spared by the promoters with the result that work was actively pushed this year and a splendidly balanced and well trap ped course will be available for play early next season The total length of the nine holes is 3,015 yards, made up as follow No, 1, 385 yards; No. 2, 135 yards; No. 3, 235 yards; No. 4, 450 yard 445 yards: No. 6, 450 yards; No. 7, 395 yards; No. 8, 195 yards; No. 9, 425 yards
