“From The Depths”

O you whostep to number one, Andplaceyour ball uponthetee, With all the confidence of power, | Andalmost regal dignity,— Have pity on us duffers, please, Whostandandtrembleat the knees. |

O you who‘dress the ball and swing, | | With rhythmic grace superbly timed, | Which speeds that most elusive sphere, With wondrous power and skill combined, | | Remember that we're brothers, tho’ | | Our drives are such a holy show. |

O you whocount the day ill spent, That sees your usual sacred score, Shoot up surprisingly around Theeighty mark, or even more; | Smile not on us, we lowly men, Whopass the hundreds now and then

Ah! Perfect Plus; O, Scornful Scratch, Or evenyeof lesser rank, Majorities havestill their rights, | Anddon’t assumetoo greata swank, | Remember this, tho’ weak we be, Wehelp the game—financially.

The End of The two great British golfers, Harry Vardon and Kdward Ray the Long, are once more back on their native links after the most memor | ong Trail able golfing tour ever recorded in the history of the game Day in and day out for nearly four months these great ponents of the game of games have delighted galleries East and West and North d South and inculeated the love of the finest and best points of golf into the arts of ten of thousands. How they ever managed to stand up underthe rack g strain of travelling some 40,000 miles and playing literally every day of the eek is a mystery—a mysterythat can only be explained by the inherent health ving virtues of the game itself. In no other sport could its adherents have car d out such a comprehensive programme and carried it out so successfully, ecause Vardon and Ray did not lose 25 per cent. of the games they played, lthough pitted against the cream of the amateur and professional players of continent and labouring, too, underthe very great handicap, it must be remem ered, of playing over absolutely strange courses. Primarily their objeet in com ng over here was to compete in the U. 8. Open and their glorious record at Voledo, it goes without saying, brought satisfaction unbounded to golfers through- it the Empire. There are two regrettable phases of this visit of the ‘‘golfing giants.’’ The first that they were seen so little in the Dominion. Toronto, Winnipeg and Mont 48)

real were the onlycities visited by them—the only golfing centres progressiy enough to arrange for exhibition games which arealike so educative and enter. taining. The United States absorbed their time almost completely and U. § golfers will correspondingly advantage, almost exclusively, by the tour. Then there is the regrettable fact that Harry Vardon, the great stylist, 1 master-golfer, will not again be seen on this continent. Three times now | he made the tour and full of honours, as far as this continent is concerned, he steps off the golfing stage on which for over a quarter of a century he has }y the central figure. No one appeals to the golfing gallery like Vardon; no is held in moresincere, even appreciative regard. The Editor but voices sentiment of Canadian golfers from Coast to Coast in wishing him many, mai years of usefulness and success in his chosen profession—a profession he has di moreto elevate than any man, either noworin the past. Golf would not be what it is to-day if it had not been for Harry Vardon, and the knowledgeof that { and the admiration in which he is held throughout the far-flung golfing world should be worth more to him, and undoubtedly is, than his championships and victories on the green without count.

Heavenly In his book, ‘‘Fifty Years of Golf,’’ (Scribner), Mr. Horac Golf! What WHutchinson, the famous English amateur, brings up the ques Will It Be tion of what golf will be in Heaven, apropos of the fact that Like? one of the spirit messages received by Sir Oliver Lodge can from a man whosaid he had just been golfing. Thus Mr. Hutchinson: ‘«Such revelations, if we attach value to them at all, inevitably carry the conviction t we shall there find golf, together with other conditions not widely different from those t we have known on earth—not a ‘fancy’ golf on illimitable Elysian Fields, with never a lie on the whole immense monotonous expanse, but real golf, difficult golf, golf with bunk and all incidental troubles to be overcome—not without vexation of the spirit—golf in w! (for we cannot presumeaninfinity of halved matches) one or the other player will be beatei All of which reminds us of a dear golfing friend and ecard fiend, who is fondly under the delusion that the future state (in his case at least), will b question of golf all day andbridgeall night, with a little angelic music throy in for good measure !

The U. S. Next season’s invasion of Great Britain by a large number of Invasion and_ the top-notch U. 8S. amateurs is already creating unwonted the Question terest in golfing circles over there. Incidentally Mr. Evans of a Putter freakish putter, with which this year he has done such dead execution on the greens is comingin for comment andcriticis! It will be rememberedthat it was by means of his deadly ‘‘Schenectady,’’ aft: wards banned, that Mr. W. J. Travis carried across the Atlantic the world’s m« prized championship in 1904. The London ‘‘Chronicle’’ thus comments on the 1921 invasion: ‘“So far as it is possible, ‘Chick’ Evan&$ and Francis Ouimet have already plann come to this country next spring to take part in the British amateur golf championship, \ will be held at Hoylake. In all probability they will be accompanied by otherfirst~ American players. Americans next year are going to offer a very formidable challenge to our supren They are encouraged in the belief that their standard of play is nowas high as our own only by Robert Gardner’s experience at Muirfield, but by the sorry display of the British 1 resentatives at Roslyn, L.I. Evans’s new putter is significant of the preparations being made for next season’ yasion. It is the old cleek type of club, except that a stay runs fromthe top of steel hea the center of the top of the blade. There is an ingenious reason for this stay which is appreciated until you take the club in hand. By this club Evans is seeking to carry out the principle of the Schenectady, whi banned in this country. This is a center-shafted club, and for almost as long as the ¢ has been played it has been realized that the nearer you can putt over the shaft the bett:

result will be. Watch George Duncan. He strikes the ball as near the heel as possible, and aval ‘When I amalways sure of doing that my putting is certain to be good.’’ } The old St. Andrews putter was bow-shaped, and here again the idea was that the eye vas carried from the extreme part of the bow to the ball. This is the principle of Evans’s new putter—the stay takes the eye straight to the center of the club and to the ball, and, as it were, you are putting over the shaft. Owing to the fact that the Schenectady is banned in this country, American visitors have to put aside their favourite club. They usually resort to an aluminum one, Evans, however,

vas always preferred a steel club, and it is, no doubt, with the idea of obviating an unsettling hange that he is now using this club of novel design. It is not certain, however, whether according to British law it is a legitimate one. One that embodied the same principle—in this case the neck was bent back in an aeute wry form vas declared to be an illegal implement, and on that decision it looks as if Evans’s putter will ilso be banned. But the facts are as stated. Evans intends to bring his new putter with him next year, and, what is more, to use it in the championship. In the present impoverished state of British amateur golf there is great reason to fear America’s invasion next year. There is little doubt that in Evans America possesses the best vmateur in the world.’’ British golfing authorities undoubtedly will be loth to ban Evans’ fearfully and wonderfully made putter, but, as pointed out by Mr. W. KE. Hicks of the Brooklyn ‘‘ Kagle’’ ‘

H. Taylor, five times Open Champion and one of the best known in the world, has had the very signal compliment conferred upon himofbeing elected an honorary member of the prominent Mid-Surrey Golf Club. As far as the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ knows,this is thefirst time in the historyof gol a professional has been accorded such an honour. * * * Manyplayers give of their best the first time round a strange links.

Staleness is often the direct res playing on only one course. *** Mr. D. Scott Chisholm, of Los Angeles, Cal., the well known golf under date of Noy. 10th: “Honestly I think the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ is the newsiest little pub! I have seen in a long time.

the Los Angeles ‘Evening News.’ This city is sure to be the golfing mecea of this country, as there are in the course of construction no less than ten courses n and around Los Angeles at the present time. Just think of it! Ten of them and all 18 holes. I find that a large number of Canadians come here in the sinter time. Your magazine is splendid. I wish you every success, and I shall 1e glad to send you an article from time to time.’ ** & Major Gillies, the celebrated English surgeon, who has made a world-wide reputation in plastic surgery, literally making ‘‘new faces’’ for thousands of vietims of the war, is a very well known golfer indeed. He is a plus 3 man and has always shown up exceedingly well in the Amateur championships. He represented England against Scotland in the Amateur International match in 1908, and was winner of the coveted St. George’s vase in 1913. His reeent work, ‘Plastic Surgery of the Face,’’ is quite the surgical book of the year, and is ab- sorbingly interesting even to the ordinary lay man. * £ & The Editor deeply appreicates the kindly interest of the President and Directors of the Sarnia Golf Club in the ‘‘ Canadian Golfer.’’ Like so manyother clubs, Sarnia has a number of‘‘perpetual’’ cups in competition, and this season it was decided to present the winners of these cups each with a year’s subscription to the ‘‘Canadian Golfer.’’ So this month the business office received a cheque for $32 for eight Sarnia subscriptions. Such a thoughtful act in these days of high paper prices, high cost of printing and production and magazine worries many, comes like a rift in the clouds. Bi TLS Thousands and thousands of words have been written on ‘‘Howto Play Golf,’’ always beginning with instructions as to stance or manner of addressing the ball, and carrying on until theoretical perfection is reached, writes Harry Vardon. “You mayreadall the golf books that ever were printed; you may have at the tip of your tongue an apt criticism of every stroke that a golf beginner may make; but if you do not practise the game long and earnestly you need never expect to get the satisfaction it is capable of giving you. That is to say—you need never expect to play golf well unless you go at it practically’’ * 8 & Mr. A. Turner, Superintendent of the Golf Ball Department of the North British Rubber Co., Edinburgh, Scotland, calls the attention of the ‘‘ Canadian Golfer’’ to the fact that the weight of the standardized golf ball which will come into use MayIst, 1921, on all British, Canadian and United States golf courses, (for that matter on all the courses in the world), is 1.62 Avoirdupois, not Troy. Mr. Turner points out: “fA ball weighing 1.62 ozs. avoirdupois weighs 29.531 dwts. That means a 30 dwt. ball is .47 lwts. over the maximumweight allowed and a 81 dwt. ball is therefore entirely illegal.’’ It will thus be seen from Mr. Turner’s interesting communication that even a 30 dwt. ball is slightly overweight and will have to be reduced .47 dwts. MS Toronto is to proceed at once with the erection of an Athletic Club on the corner of Bay and Temperance Streets. It will be 14 stories high and will cost

$2,500,000. Amongthe charter members are many prominent golfers. Spacious accommodation in this wonderful building will be allotted to bowling alleys, handball and squash courts, indoor golf course, a boxing room, a boxingaudi- torium, showers, Russian and Turkish baths, card rooms and a billiard room. The building will include afloor of up-to-date bedrooms, dining-rooms, a grill, a 486 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No. 7 roof garden and a ballroom. There will be ladies’ and juniors’ privileges, {ho gymnasium and swimming tank being turned over for their use during cer hours. * * % A despateh from Marion, Ohio: ‘*While the people of the United States were recording their decision to-day on his didacy for president, Senator Harding put politics out of his attentions and gave ov greater part of his time to a gameofgolf. After casting his own vote early in the forenoon, he spent the remainder of th away from Marion. He selected the Scioto Club, near Columbus, for his golf game an to make the 40 mile trip back by motor later in the afternoon.’’ There must be something in this Presidential idea of playing golf on ele day. President Wilson four years ago played golf upon a similaroccasion was forthwith elected. Governor Cox didn’t play golf on the fateful Noven 2nd, and he was badly bunkered. By the way, Scioto, where President- Harding disported himself whilst his followers were piling up a record vot him, is one of the three best courses in America, according to Ted Ray.

Best Ball, Four Holes, Nine R. W. A. Ross, a valued subseriber in Calgary under date of November 9 writes : ‘“Here’s some rather ‘hot stuff’ we think out here, by the way of ending the season’s play and we, or rather I, am anxious to knowif it’s any kind of a record I four-ball last Saturday Hague (who made such a favourable showing at the Amateur Chan ship last July at Beaconsfield), and Berryman, playing our pro., Devereau, and myself, t was a best ball of 9 for 4 consecutive holes. And this is how it was done: Hole 14 (349 y par 4. Hague holed his mashie shot for a 2. Hole 15 (140 yards) par 3. Devereau na four-foot putt for his 2. Hole 16 (397 yards) par 4. Devereau also putted 12 foot birdie 3. Hole 17 (210 yards) par 38, Berryman, 10 feet away, rimmed the cup forhis 2 I ran down mysix-footer for a 2.’’ Four holes par 14 with a best ball of 9 is of a surety wonderful go Whetherit is a record or not the Editor is not prepared to say. It looks lik: but golf is an uncertain and ‘‘’umbling game,’’ and it is just possible that e these marvellous figures have been equalled or excelled for four holes. Per! some readers can quote even better figures. Until they do Calgary is in spot light. CaaTHANVe PEELS THE THRIEL~OF GOLF HATHAM, Ontario, opened up a golf course this year—the last city in ( ada to do so. Evidently the game is ‘‘catching on’’ there as every\ else, as witness this from the Chatham Daily News of October 30th, 11 producinga picture of Lloyd George playing on the links: ‘‘Tt is a curious fact but it will be remembered that in the last few years kings, pr presidents, aud all men with heavy mental and executive burdens, in the hourofstres great decision and action had to be met and taken, have gone to the golf links for help is not the first time that Lloyd George has been found on the links when the world h waiting for his answer. President Wilson, when the fate of posterity was in the balance, forsook his typ: and found better inspiration from his mashie and (driver. And so it is locally sii advent of the golf links bythe tall stately elms at Indian Creek. Captains of finance, try and commerce no longer fret and pour over their pesky troubles within four walls ot ped glass, confronted by polished mahogany, but go out to the links and there get and an inspiration that makes their business problems melt like snow before a Chinook Doctors forsake their rhubarb and castor oil and take their patients to the links for a 1 tive. And so it is all down the line. The Creator made the noble trees, the rolling land and the streamlet not alone for commercial purposes, but to be taken care of and admir those for whom He made them. In golf you get the association of your fellow man or woman as the case maybe. commune with nature and its Creator. You do your darndest to put the peskylittle ball you want it—it does not go and then you commune with—that is debatable. It is a gan chance, you have two chances to commune,”’

oe THE CHAMPIONS AT PORT ARTHUR Many Times Winners of U. S. and Canadian Premier Events All ‘Dolled Up” by the Ladies of the Thunder Bay Club

N their remarkable careers, Mr. George 8. Lyon, the many times Champion of Canada, and Mr. ‘‘Chick’’ Evans, Amateur Champion of the United States and the greatest amateur golfer to-day in the world, have been photographed ‘terally hundreds of times, but the nieture herewith surely must be the ost unique ever taken of them dur- 10 their notable career on the links. It was snapped at Port Arthur last onth during the exhibition game er the Thunder Bay Golf and Country Club course, Mr. Lyons, it ill be remembered, defeating Mr. Kvans on the last green. The ladies \{ the elub insisted on ‘‘dolling’’ the popular champions up with their scarfs and sweaters, so here they are hedeecked and smiling. By the way, the Thunder Bay Country Club has just concluded the iost successful season in its history. The beautiful course has been crowd d with members, and many visitors, from May until October, and the men nd women have competed in a record number of competitions. The links are among the most attractive in Can- ada, and both Messrs. Evans and Lyon are loud in their praise of the iirgreens and greens. There is ome idea next year of extendingto n 18 hole course.

Surely Evans must ha surprised indeed, to find an antagonist so worthy ofhis steel in the Old Veteran Cham Canada defeating him, the now recognized best amateur golfer in the U. S. A. G.S deservedly chuckle to himself. Saw Ray and Vardon, in the final gameof their tour, play Hagen and Maiden at Links at Glen Cove, L.I., (36 hole match). The latter won in the afternoon 4 and 3. T former were 1 up in the morning game. Vardon had the best score, 79, in the morning which he did not equal in the afternoon. The weather was rather breezy. Ray and drove well all through the game, but were lamentably weak on the greens, especially Ra missed several yard putts in succession. It was simply pitiful. He played splendidly driver, brassy and iron. Hagen did some good putting. He partly topped his drive off t first tee in the afternoon and took eight shots to get out of sand pot bunker his ball | in, and then picked up. That killed him from making the best score as he played splendidly after that all through. The record of the course is 67, par 75. $100.00 was offered to th one breaking the record, but it was too windy for record breaking. Had quite a chat with Ray. He thinks Hollywood Deal, New Jersey’s course, is the bes he has played over, similar to English sand dune courses. He gives Inverness, Toledo, second place, and Scioto, Columbus, Ohio, third place, Vardon concurring with himinthis choice Played over 95 matches, I think he said, and are both about sick of it. I questioned him about Mitchell and Duncan, and he entertains a certainty of thei vasion here next year.’’

PBOBpY, * |ONES BESPF PLAYER So Says Harry Vardon and Ted Ray—Amateur Invasion of Great Britain Next Year Viewed in All Seriousness by British Experts Who, However, Have no Fear of the Open HEN in Montreal during the exhibition match at Dixie, last month WV “‘Canadian Golfer’’ had quite an interesting chat with Vardonand Ra Generally uncommunicative, the British experts were in a conversationa mood and talked quite freely at Montreal. Their tour was just about finished and that perhaps was one of the reasons why they consented to give some ratlie! frank views on the golfing situation generally. For instance, asked who, in their opinion, was the best amateurgolfer, both stated ‘‘Bobbie’’ Jones. It will be remembered in 1913, upon the oc of his previous tour here, Vardon picked upon ‘‘Chick’’ Evans as the best ama teur, although that year Francis Ouimet was very muchin the limelight. And Vardon’s opinion, at the time called into question, has since been amplyvin ed. Nowboth he and Raygive the Atlanta youth the preference over the U. 5 Amateur Champion. That is to say, in the course of the next few years wl secures experience, balance and poise (‘‘Bobbie’’ is only 19 years of age believe he will be a greater golfer than ‘‘Chick’’ Evans ever was or ean be. 1! regard to the professionals, Barnes, Hagen and Hutchenson seemto be thi ourites with the British experts. Rayis quite willing to admit that if the United States next season send over Messrs. Evans, Jones, Ouimet, and half a dozen of their other cracks, it looks anything but roseate for the Britishers retaining the world’s amateurchan ship. Asa result of the war, the amateur ranks there have been sadly depleied whereas American amateur golf was never at such high tide. Neither he nor Vardon think, however, that the U. S. invasion need be feared as regard 488

Open Championship of Great Britain.. Ray considers that George Dunean is in many respects one of the greatest golfers the world has ever produced. Both he and Vardon havea veryhigh opinion too, of Mitchell. Vardon once again emphatically went on record that he was through with eruelling tours, such as he and his running-mate, ‘‘Ted,’’ have undergone the past four months. It was not his intention to again visit the States and Canada. Ray, on the other hand, stated he would certainlyvisit the States again next season to defendhis title of Open Champion. Asked if he would not try and compete in 1921 in the Canadian Open, he replied he would be delighted to if the dates fitted in with his other engagements. Ray, too, like Vardon, is getting ‘‘fed up’’ on this exhibition game stunt, and very soon nowit is his intention to eet out of serious golf and devote his time to golf architecture, at which he has already dabbled a bit. Both Vardon and Rayare very much adverse to being indiseriminately introduced to leading people in the galleries they play before. They detest being ‘‘lionized’’ and ‘‘dined.’’ They much prefer a retired corner with their trusty pipes and a few pals—and whisper it in these days of the 19th Amendment and O.T.A.—a wee drappie‘‘of the best’’ to add to their spiritual comfort. Great golfers both; steeped in experience beyond possibly the experience of any other two golfers in the world, anything that Vardon and Raysay about the game or the participants in the game, calls for the most careful consideration. That prediction about ‘‘Bobby’’ Jones will be especially worth watching.

GOLF IN AUSTRALIA Mr. Ivo Whitton Wins the Victoria Amateur Championship OLFERSin Canadakeep closely in touch with the game in Great Britain and the States, but seldom hear anything about doings of the Royal and Ancient in the Antipodes. But golf is just as popular ‘‘away down under’’ as it is here. The season in Australia is now in full swing, and championships and tournaments are being held without number. Particulars have just been received by the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ of the Victorian Amateur Cham pionship, (thanks to the courtesy of Mr. Patterson, Melbourne, managerof the Massey Harris Co.), held over the course of the Victoria Golf Course. Hereto- fore, this event has been decided by medal play, but this year, following the ex- ample of Great Britain, the States and Canada, it was run off by match play, 16 qualifying. The qualifying medal was won by Mr. Ivo Whitton, who also eventually won the championship quite handily. His scores were 75 and 78, made in a heavy wind storm. Whitton has twice won the Australian championship and from all accounts is a golfer who would rank in the same class as our Canadian top-notch amateurs. There is some idea of Whitton taking part in the British Amateur next year It would beafine idea if he could be induced to return home via Canada. Also the sensational Australian pro., J. H. Kirkwood, who is a certain entry for the British Open. The latter is still going great guns and is breaking into the ‘sixties’? with a regularity that proclaims he is really a phenomenal golfer. Australians, who are notoriously heavy plungers, are willing to wager that Kirk- wood will be the next World’s Open Champion. But there is manya slip between the tee and the cup. It is hard to believe that underthe severe conditions of the British courses that Kirkwood would have much of a chance with Duncan, Mitchell, et al., not to mention the Old Guard, who for a quarter of a century have so jealously guarded the premier golfing honors ofthe tight little isles. “News of the World” Tournament Big British Classic Won by “‘Abe’’ Mitchell—Duncan, Taylor, Braid, He; and Other Celebrities Eliminated Early in the Competition— i Wonderful Work of the Young Pro., Ockenden

But Demonstrator Proves That Even the Most Careful Fail

A LTHOUGH there is little heard of this on this side of the Atlantic. gej, tifie golf is becoming quite the thing abroad. A famous oculist in G Britain—R. R. Cruise —has approached putting from a purelyscien or, as he prefers to call it, a psychological basis. Cruise has applied the same line of reasoning to putting as he employs his professional work. He is a fair driver, a poor iron player, but with | putting he came within an inch of defeating Thomas Armourof Scotland ir French Amateur Championship. Cruise divides putting into three sections, and allots each section a certai) percentage of value: (1) Mental and physical co-ordination; (2) direction, and (3) strengt| To the first two he allots 40 per cent. each, and to the third the remaining per cent. Across the head of his putter and at right angles to its face Cruis has had a thin white line drawn. After taking his line to the hole he addres his ball so that the thin line onthe club head not onlyis opposite the cent the ball, but also coincides with the line of the hole. This gives himthe directio; Having then satisfied himself as to mental and physical co-ordination having judged the strength required, he hits the ball crisply, only moving wrists. The result is almost every long putt stone dead, and a remarkable nw ber of the shorter ones holed—but he has been seen to miss one of 18 holes, pro ing that evenscientific golf isn’t infallible.

George S. Lyon and W. J. Thompson and Seymour Lyon and Frank Thompson Wonby the Former Pair 3 and |—Over 400 Members and Guests Participate in the Thanksgiving Day Dinner Dance

Te Brantford Golf and Country Club marked its forty-first anniversary by the formal opening on Thanksgiving Day of its magnificent new elub house and bycelebrating the partial completion of its new 18 hole golf ourse—easily oneof the best laid out and most picturesque in Ontario. It was a glorious autumn dayand it was a glorious dayof golf and festivit- 3 generally that were participated in by the members of the fourth oldest golf elub on the continent.

View of a section of the Dining Room of The Brantford Golf and Country Club taken before the Opening Dinner Thanksgiving Night, when 250 guests sat down to the well-laden tables.

The occasion was graced by the presence of four of the leading amateur golfers of Canada—Messrs. George S. Lyon, W. J. Thompson, Seymour Lyon and Krank Thompson, who participated in an exhibition match which delighted a very large gallery of enthusiasts who watched every shot made alike with interest and appreciation. This was by way of being a rubber match between the “Seniors,’’ Messrs. Lyon and Thompson, and the ‘‘Juniors,’’? Messrs. Seymour lyon and Frank Thompson, each side previously having an encounter to its credit. The Brantford match settled for this season, at all events, the question of supremacy, after an intensely interesting match the veteran ex-champion and his partner winning on the 17th green 3 and 1. The feature of the game was, perhaps, the wonderful driving of George S. Lyon, who was getting 250 yards and more on manyahole, and the superb mashie-niblick work of his partner, W. J. Thompson. Verybrilliant too, was the game of the two youngerplayers. Seymour Lyon’s manyfriends were delighted to see he has quite recovered from ax 493 | | 494 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. VI, No

During the match the gallery time an manifested their appreciation of brilliant plays made byall four contest: hearty applause. Then at night came the dinner, followed by a dance.

It was whenthe ladies in their many-hued, smart gowns, and their escorts assembled that the tableau was completed.

A. Jones, K.C., the President of the Club, beginning | toast list, first inviting all to stand and sing ‘‘God Save the King.’’ | Mr. Jones gavea brief sketch of the successes that had been accomp Pu by the club through its special committees. It was on May16, 1919, at a g | | | committee meeting that mention was first made of enlargement of thi 1 Hi | building the newclub house and the necessary finances. Judge Hardy pointed chairman, and Mr. R. H. Reville and Mr. Gibson were appointed | grounds committee. They acquired the new property from Mrs. Ker, | clared that she would notsell the estate at the figure she did for any oth | | pose. It was good ground with a stream of water through it that was « for water hazards. Immediately shares were drawn up to the value of $7 | i i andall but $10,000 were disposed of through the fine work of Mr. S. B. ( Wa committee chairman. | Mr. Blake Duncan was made chairman of a committee on plans, di Han by Mr. F. W. Warren, architect, of Hamilton, and carried out by P. H : and Sons, of Brantford, in a manner, Mr. Jones said, that bore inspectio1 inside and outside. He could not speak too highly of the committee { worked early and late, and much of the undoubted success achieved was | ] credit. Valuable suggestions were received from ladies on details in thi | | ‘*Buta 36 hole club house did not go with a 9 hole course,’’ he went 01 at by next year the additional nine holes will be in use, and Brantford then | on the golfing map. I have great pleasure,’’ he concluded, amidst 4 cheers, ‘‘in declaring open our newclubhouse.’’ | The toast of ‘‘The Royal and Ancient’- was proposed by Mr, R i] Reville, coupled with the name of Mr. George 8. Lyon, who occupied th . i] honour on the President’s right. The eight-times champion was greet ii round after round of applause. He maintained he was a 36 handicap m: ) it came to speaking, but he rather belied that statement, makinga capit 14 address in which hetook occasion to highly compliment Brantford on hay Hil of the most artistic club houses in the Province and links, which gave ev tH cation of becoming a true test of championship calibre. Of course Mr. L hy to sing ‘‘Mother Machree,’’ and, of course, the diners joined heartil chorus and encored Canada’s most beloved golfer again and again.

Howie, of Buffalo, an after-dinner speaker of continental rep- 2 ‘tation. ,Mr. Howie was in great fettle and made a rousing speech which will yg remain a fragrant memory in the minds of his hearers. He concluded: ‘‘T want to tell you that I have been honoured by the invitation here to-day, charmed by the wonderful women, recreated on the beautiful links, overcome by our bountiful hospitality, rejuvenated by the splendid men and blessed by the iovial comradeship, in this the greatest of little clubs that I know anything bout.’”

Mr. Howie was accorded a regular ovation at the conclusion of his eloquent | {| speech. The concluding toast to the ‘‘Ladies’’? was coupled with the name of Miss | Lilian A Gibson, the President of the ladies’ section of the club, who made a particularly happy little speech which was loudly applauded. During the evening letters of regret at their inability to be present, ac companied by the heartiest of good wishes, were read by the secretary, Mr. Iden Champion, from His Honour Judge Hardy, Vice-President of the Club, who was called away to Winnipeg on important Anglican church business; Mr. W.

It was the prettiest, brightest kind of a dance Visitors were present from all parts of Ontario, and hosts and guests alike, thor oughly enjoyed themselves until the early morning hours. To the executive of the ladies and the executive of the men the credit for the thoroughly successful culmination of all plans was due.

As an evidence 0 | interest and this unselfish work, it is perhaps only necessary to mention that a couple of etal after the official opening on Thanksgiving Day, a ‘‘smoker’’ was held in the spacious Hany room of the club house, presided over by Mr. Jones and attended by over one hundred Wh prominent men of Brantford. Mr. Chadsey, manager for the Massey-Harris Compan | energetic chairman of the Finance Committee, announced that there was still some $10, the Treasury stock of the club unsold and if that amount was subscribed all indebtedness | be wiped out and the club start the season of 1921 with a clean sheet. There were lots « | speeches and lots of good music and amid the greatest enthusiasm, the necessary money w scribed by those present and Brantford went ‘‘over the top’’ to the tune of $75,000, all in less than six months—no mortgages, no bonds, against one of the finest golfing proj in Ontario, but all cash stock subscriptions, non-interest bearing.

Whilst residing in To where he was a Comptroller of the city, he took up golf, joining the Lambton Club. Ret to Brantford he quickly identified himself with the local club, and for the past three o1

years has been indefatigable in his efforts on its behalf. He has had an able coadjutor in the Vice-President of the Club, His Honour, Judge Hardy, who has been closely identified with the Brantford Club for over a quarter of a century. Judge Hardyis also a Governor of The Can- adian Seniors’ Golf Association, in which organization too, he takes a’ keen interest. Backed up by a thoroughly capable Board of Directors, the Executive has been able to bring to a most -uecessful fruition in Brantford golfing plans which are a credit to the game not only in tho Telephone City but to the Province at large. The Ladies’ Committee, too, and their work in connection with this notable reorganization a golfing achievement are worthy of unstinted praise. The ladies of Brantford have always been“Joyal followers of the game, in fact, some years ago, when bowling, as far as the men were conseerned, threatened to almost wreck the gameinthecity, they kept ‘‘the golf flag flying. Miss Gibson has for three years now been President of the "Ladies? Section of the ( ‘ub, and a right good President too, following in the footsteps of many able predecessors, to whom the club are under a lasting debt of grratitude during years lang syne. The new club house is one of the most artistic in Canada. Mr. F. W. Warren, of Hamilton, who has ilso the Glendale Golf Club building to his eredit in a most masterly manner incorporated the old club house with the new, making one harmonious whole, which is delight to the eye, alike from the standpoint of the exterior and interior. Theoverall size of the building is 140 ft. by 70ft. The ladies’ locker room appears to be in the basement, but it is on the ground level, the outside entrance be ing in the rear and the player goes up a slight grade to the course and the grade level around building. This locker room is 26 ft. by 39 ft. and has accommodation for 160 lockers. Adjoining the locker room is the shower room, also a stairway to ground floor of building. On the ground floor of the building is the beautiful club room, 31 ft. by 40 ft., which is used for dane- ing, banquets and a general lounge. Adjoining the club room at one end, is the dainty ladies’ lounge, finished in ivory enamel, with pretty drapes on the windows and inviting chairs and tables to match the room. At the other end of the club room is the men’s buffet, 21 ft. by 25 ft, with large brick fireplace and panelled walls. P a : A particularly well balanced ceed Miss Lillian A. Gibson, Lady Presi- Nearby is the spacious men’s locker room, admir- dent of the Brantford Golf and ably lighted and ventilated with well equipped shower Country Club, baths andall other up-to-date conveniences. Whatespecially impresses a visitor are the spacious verandas 20 feet wide around the club room. From these verandas a magnificent view is obtained over the Grand River and over the course—a view unexcelled in the Province. Adjoining the club room and also overlooking the winding river is a private dining room with panelled walls; this most artistic room is 17 ft, x 21 ft. Fromthe club room, one passes through a large butler’s pantry to the kitchen, which is 14 ft. x 26 ft., with its large hotel range, steam table and other modern conveniences. Adjoining the kitchen is the Steward’s living room, with his private stairway to his bedrooms and bathroomonthe second floor. The steward’s quarters are entirely isolated from the rest of the building. Fromtheladies’ lounge a stairwayleads to the ladies’ balcony overlooking the club room, and at the other end of club room is a baleony for orchestra and forsitting out. On this floor are also the men’s card rooms and dormitories. There is room above the second floor, for dormitories on the third floor, that may be finished at any time should the demand arise. The building is in the Elizabethian style of archi tecture. A rustic touch has been given to the brickwork and plaster walls and with the green slate roof the whole blends perfectly with the surroundings. Everything about the club house is in the best of taste and already it has become quite the centre of Brantford’s manysocial activities. Next season will see the full 18 hole course in play. Some changes will be made in the old nine holes, whilst the new nine as planned by George Cumming and Nicol Thompson have all been laid out and the greens and fairgreens seeded down. This construction work has been most skilfully carried out by the firm of Thompson, Cumming and Thompson, Toronto, A very sporting course is this 18 holes course on the banks of the Grand River. The total length is 6,300 yards. There are three one shot holes; three three-shot holes, whilst the balance are two-shot holes—the backbone of every well designed course. There are many character holes of surpassing merit. Special attention has been given to the trapping of the generous greens, which are of a most diversified character—sloping, rolling and punch bowl.

They were the late Mr. W. L. Creighton and th Mr. J. E. Lees. Ontario won, 35 holes to 5, Mr. Creighton contributing to the total 5 hok and Mr. Lees 2 holes up. That a quarter of a century agoa fair class of golf was played in Ontario is evidence the fact that on the 7th of October, 1895, Mr. W. W. Muir won the Yates gold medal quently ‘‘lifted’’ by the Editor of the ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’ three years in succession, wit very excellent score, playing from scratch, of 76, Mr. J. P.

A PROGRESSIVE SASKATOON CLUB Riverside Has Installed a Water System and Otherwise Improved Its Course R. A. D. DUNCAN, Hon. Secretary, writing about the activities the past season of The Riverside Country Club, Saskatoon: ‘“We have wonderful possibilities. There is not a level hole on the course, the natural hazards make it sufficiently sporty, but we will provide bunkers as time and n permit. This year we spent about $10,000 in putting a water system in and making greens; year we should get the benefit of this expenditure. The course is about six miles from t city, situated on the river bank, and from our club house you can see the fairway on | tically every hole. Weare proudof ourfinancial position. We own 200 acres of land; the elub house, \ is worth say, $8,000; our water system and general improvements to the course have cost the neighborhood of $12,000, and our total liabilitiy, outside of the members of the clu just $1,300.?? Riverside is to be congratulated on such a fine showing. It is a particula: well officered club, and its future prosperity is assured. Saskatoon has also other virile organization in the Saskatoon Golf Club, established in 1907, wit sporting 18 hole course of 5950 yards. The Royal and Ancient gameis mensely popular in this progressive Saskatchewan city and boasts somevery cellent players indeed, who, it is hoped, will be represented in the Amat Championship at Winnipeg next year.

largely to the fact, perhaps, that their tour was under the auspices of United States golf promoters, who naturally sawto it that clubs there had the preference of the dates, which were eagerly booked up in advanee, for the appearance of these British experts with world-wide reputations. Indifference upon the part of Canadian clubs in securing such a stellar golf attraction also had some thing to do with the lamentable fact that Vardon and Ray’s appearances in the Dominion were so few and far between. Their first engagement here was at Scarborough, Toronto, August 16th, where a gallery of over 2,000 enthusiasts saw them defeat Geo. Cumming (Tor onto), and Albert H.

BONGEST DRIVER IN THE STATES?

VERYONEat the Amateur Championship at Beanconsfield, Montreal, this E summer, was immensely impressed with the driving of young Clark Cockran of Baltimore, who at one time looked like a dangerous contender for the ampionship until he was put out of the runningat the 19th hole by Mr. G.$ Lyon. It was generally commented upon that he was the longest driver ever seen on the Beaconsfield course. Last month at Baltimore he was paired up with is brother, B. Warren Cockran, against Vardon and Ray Henry L. Wall ridge, of New York, saw the match and vide the Brooklyn ‘‘ Bagle:’’ ‘‘The one big impression he got of the match was that Clark Cockran is about the longest driver in this country. Repeatedly, he said, the young amateur was out ahead of Ed. Ray and just as straight. Wallbridge considers Cockran the superior of Jesse Guilford, of Boston n the matter of getting tee distance, and he was told by Baltimorean golfers that hen Guilford played at Baltimore, Cockran was from 10 to 30 yards ahead of m on nearly everytee.’’ Clark is quite a slight young chap. All of which goes to prove that it loesn’t take height and brawn to propel a golf ball 250 yards or more. Cockran solutely does get drives around the 300 yard mark. He registered this dis lance at the 13th at Beaconsfield in the championship

Since the last issue the following additional ‘‘One-ers’’ have been reported : On October 7th at Peterborough, playing in the semi-finals of the MeDonald l'rophy, with Mr. Dunean Walker, Mr. D. J. Laurie negotiated the 5th hole in one—a ¢lassy little tee-shot of 130 yards

\ir. F. N. Beardmore, a memberof a particularly well known family of ama- ur sportsmen in Toronto and Montreal, member of The Royal Montreal Golf Club, had the great gratification of making the 6th hole at Dixie in one shot. A particularly well bunkered hole is the 6th 150 yards) at Canada’s premier golfing club and to find the cup from the tee here calls for a most uneanny shot, but Mr. Beardmore accomplished it and well de served the hearty congratulations of his nany club mates. The scene shifts to the West. Mr. H. \l. Hunt, of the Assiniboine Golf Club, on Saturday, October 23rd, realized the am bition of all golfers when he holed out in me on the 17th hole, a distance of 110 ards. The feat occurred during an ex citing best-ball game with two erack lady

Weir, police magistrate of the city, he proceeded to turn the trick at the third, a well guarded 150 yard hole with a run-a-way green. Kitchener this season has taken an enthusiastic inter- t in the Royal and Ancient and it is particularly gratifying to weleome a member of the Grand River Club, forthe first time, to the coterie of ‘‘ Hole-in-Oners.’’ And here is a belated return.
