Saturation Has the saturation point in golf been reached? is a question Point in Golf often discussed both in Canada and the States. Judging from Not Yet activities reported for the coming season, from all parts of Reached. the country, the answer is emphatically in the negative. Golf architects and golf construction companies, everywhere re- port that they are simply inundated with orders for laying out and building newcourses and enlarging and re-vamping old ones. A large numberof the leading clubs in Canada have reached the limit of their membership and instituted waiting lists. Public Links everywhere are being used more and more and the coming season promise to be most uncomfortably crowded, whilst “pay-as-you-play” courses are becoming a tremendous vogue in the larger centres and some of the small ones, too. In the opinion of Mr. Robert Cutting, vice-president of the United States Golf Association, golf on this Continent will treble in the next ten years and Mr. Cutting is not in the habit of pulling the long bow. It is nearly the perfect game and the potential growth of golf is practically unlimited. Any game that can, on the one hand, interest and hold a twelve-year-old boy and can, on other hand, interest and hold a man of seventy years and upwards, is truly the “universal game.” No, from 1930 indications, golf is anything but nearing the saturation point and throughout Canada many more golf courses, both private and public, will have to be built in the near future to take care of the thousands of men, women and children yearly being added to the ranks of golfers in every city and town. 771 772 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 15, No. 11

British Columbia It is satisfactory to know that the Mid-winter Empress Can Supply Tournament at Victoria, B.C., was a great success, there “Winter Golf’. being a large numberof entrants from Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane besides Victoria, and Vancouver. The Colwood course was in superb shape, the weather quite fine and all the participants thoroughly enjoyed the week’s Tournament. British Columbia has thus demonstrated that it is not necessary for Canadians to go South in the winter to enjoy their golf. It can be had on our own Pacifie Coast under favourable conditions. With proper publicity British Columbia should in future secure its fair quota of the winter devotees of the Royal and Ancient game from the East.

Public Links It is very satisfactory to know that the coming season the to Receive Royal Canadian Golf Association is preparing to take an active Support of interest in the Public Golf Courses of Canada and for that R. ©. G. A. purpose has appointed a special committee to aid in placing golf within the reach of those unable to afford the expense of a privalte club. Mr. C. E. Harvey, of Winnipeg, ex-president of the Association, will look after the Publie Links interests in the West; Mr. W. H. Plant, of Toronto, in Ontario, and Mr. Norman M. Scott, of Montreal, in the East. This is a very strong committee indeed andtheir efforts to provide “golf for the masses” is boundto bring results. For some years now, the United States Golf Association has taken a keen interest in Public Golf Courses and has done invaluable work in fostering and encouraging them in addition to fathering the Public Links Championship every year, which has proved a remarkable success. It is to be sincerely hoped in the near future that a similar event can be staged in Canada. The U.S.G.A. permits the travelling expenses of teams competing in the U.S. Public Links Championship to be paid and rightly so, too.

The “Wonder-Young-Man” of golf came out of his winter seclusion, solely at the solicitation of friends and in the interest of his native State to defeat all the leading professionals of America with the exception of Horton Smith, that other young super-golfer, and he only bowed to him by the margin ofa stroke. In all his brilliant career, Jones has done nothing to eclipse his remark- able re-entry in competitive medal-play golf the other day at Savannah, when he registered rounds of 67-75-65-72 for a total of 279. He was not in training and stepped on the tee to oppose a coterie of leading professionals who had been campaigning and keeping fit throughout the winter. It was a marvel- lous performance and as a result Jones will sail for England next month at the head of the Walker Cup team installed a prime favourite to again win the British Open with the British Amateur Championship thrown in for good measure. Bobby as an amateuris absolutely in a class by himself and probably is the peer for that matter of any professional. Great are the ‘Joneses and the Smith’—Bobby and Horton, to wit. Representatives of the two great families reign supreme on the golf links of the world to-day.

(The Editor is always glad to answer questions about the Rules, and other golfing matters, but owing to so many of these requests coming in every month, he must ask in future that a stamped-addressed envelope be enclosed with all such communications, other- ! wise they will not be answered.) * # At the annual meeting of the Canadian Badminton Association held in Ottawa, Mr. Roy B.

Mr. C. S. MeDonald, Toronto, the well known Lambton and Canadian Senior golfer, in sendingin his subseription for 1931: ‘*No man can ever hope to be a golfer who is not an optimist, and I hope to be a subscriber and reader of the Golfer for many years to come. It is always a very welcome guest at my house, and is the best periodical I know of dealing with matters of interest to golfers. Wishing you every success.’’

The Duke of York, like his brother, the Prince of Wales, is an enthusiastie | golfer. On the small lawn at the back of his Pieeadilly residence the Duke i has this winter been practising shots and testing clubs, and among them have i been several with steel shafts. A practice net has been erected at the bottom of the lawn so that all varities of strokes can be made. | i # x # As a result of the raising of the ban on steel shafts by the Royal and | Ancient there has been a tremendous demand recently in the Old Countryfor ' steel-shafted clubs and dealers and professionals are complaining that hickory } shafts are a drug on the market and they will lose thousands of pounds as a \ result. A very bitter feeling against the R. and A. has developed in the trade. |

# * * iy Troubled China is not so troubled that it can’t still play golf. The Tien- ' tsin course at Pekin is a very good one indeed with a length of 6,300 yards. ( Next Easter the Championships will be played here. One of the elub’s best players is a Chinaman, Dr. Tyau, a graduate of Cambridge University, who y) plays from serateh. Another fine player is A. Wodehouse, a brother of the i popular novelist. Many Englishmen and Americans in the diplomatie and (iH other services in China play over the Tientsin course with a fair sprinkling | of prominent Chinese. * # i Sir Edward Parry in a recent letter from England records an amusing anecdote of a golfing schoolmaster in the North who hummed hymn tunes \ 774 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 15, No, 11 before his shots. His overture to his drive was “Onward, Christian Soldiers”; his iron shot was accompanied by “There is a green hill far away”; his mashie approach was done to “Jerusalem the Golden,” and he putted to “The Old Hundred.” But Sir Edward thinks it was done in a spirit of faith and hope, and perhaps consolation, rather than as an exhibition of music and gymnastics. The Old Hundred typified his score. He rarely did better!

*** In connection with the Century of Progress World’s Fair to be held in Chicago in 1933 it has been decided to build a golf course on the exhibition grounds on the Lake Front to cost $250,000. At the head of the Committee having the matter in hand is Robert A. Gardner, the former Yale star athlete and twice Amateur Champion of the States, so it can be taken for granted that the project will go over all right. This is the first time that a World’s Fair has ever gone in for the luxuryof a golf course. Gardner and his asso- ciates are planning to build the finest championship course in America, and expect after the Fair that it will be taken over by the City of Chicago, as a Publie Links. ** * A despatch from Toronto, March 1st :— ““Roses of every shade, baskets of gay daffodils and tulips and sheafs of variegated blooms filled the home of Mrs. John J. Haslett, 48 Howland Avenue, yesterday. They were remembrances from her many friends on her birthday, for she was 102 years old. And all day long visitors came to see the dignified old lady, who, in her black silk dress and quaint lace cap, sat in state in the living-room receiving her friends. A huge wedding eake lighted with 102 candles was placed on a table in the dining room, with the many gifts which kept arriving all day. There were letters, telegrams, cables and cards from Ireland and all parts of Canada; and one of the most prized gifts of all was a dozen American Beauty roses from the Surveyors’ Association to which her husband belonged.’’ Mrs. Haslett is the mother of Mr. T. C. Haslett, K.C., of Hamilton, a charter member and former president of the Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and grandmother of Miss Jean Haslett, president of the Ontario Branch of the Canadian Ladies’ Golf Union, both of whom were present with many other relatives at the 102nd birthday party of the “Grand Old Lady of Ontario.”

*** The Greenwich Country Club, one of the oldest golf clubs in the New York District, has recently reconstructed its club house. Greenwich is one of the oldest country clubs in America and was started by Mr. Julian W. Curtiss, a graduate of Yale, who brought out golf clubs from England in order to play the game in the United States. A magnificent oil painting of Mr. Curtiss by Arpad Kallos has been presented to the club and hangs in the place of honour in the stately reconstructed club house. It is very interest- ing to note that a barn was the first club house of the Greenwich golfers. Mr. Curtiss is president of A. G. Spalding & Bros., which firm has an exten- sive factory, recently greatly enlarged, and warehouses in Brantford, Ontario, besides branches in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The firm is the largest manufacturers of athletic goods in the world and last year did a total business of $28,000,000. * * * The new, lighter and larger ball which becomes official next year in the United States, is coming in for a good deal of comment and criticism, al- though the authorities of the United States Golf Association state that as a result of a large number of letters received by them, seventy-five per cent. of the leading players of the country are in favour of the change. This may be so, but the rank and file of golfers would seem to be opposed to the new ball, judging from the reports received by golfing magazines throughout the States.

Altogether it looks like a bad mix-up all round and the Royal Can- adian Golf Association following the example of the Royal and Ancient, has been well advised not to make any change until further and exhaustive tests have been made.

OSHAWA AWARDED LADIES’ ONTARIO CHAMPIONSHIP

T a meeting this month of the Executive of the Ontario Branch of the A Canadian Ladies’ Golf Union, it was unanimously decided to hold the Ontario Ladies’ Championship this year at the Oshawa Golf and Country Club. The dates are June 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th. Oshawa has one of the best 18-hole courses in Ontario and recently opened a charming new club house.

RANKING OF THE TEN BEST PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS Sa result of their performances in 1929 and during the winter tourna- A ments drawing to a close, some of the experts have been figuring on the best ten professionals in America, and this, perhaps, is as good a list as any yet brought forward. In first place, Leo Diegel, winner of the Canadian Open and the U.S. Professional Champion. Second place must be awarded young Horton Smith, who has to his credit the past few months the winning of the French Professional Championship, Pensacola Open, Florida Open, La Goree Open, North and South Open, Oregon Open, Berkeley Open, Pasadena Open and the Georgia Open, when he nosed out the redoubtable Bobby Jones by one stroke. In view of winning the British Open, Walter Hagen is placed third. Fourth position goes to Tommy Armour, the only foreign-born professional included in the list, who won the Western Open. Fifth place is allotted to Johnny Farrell, runner-up to Diegel in the Professional Championship. Sixth position goes to Al Espinosa, who tied with Bobby Jones in the U.S. Open, losing in the play-off. Gene Sarazen is awarded seventh place as a result of winning three events, the Agua Caliente $25,000 tournament, the Miami and Miami Beach Open. Al Watrous, a former Canadian Open Champion, is placed eighth as he was well up in front in half a dozen events or more and has been playing thoroughly consistent golf. To Billy Mehlhorn goes ninth place. In numbers of tournament victories made during the year, he ranks next to Horton Smith. He won the El Paso Open with a record score of 271, the Texas Open, the Hot Springs Open after a play-off with Horton Smith and Bobby Cruickshank, and the Metropolitan Open. Craig Wood is given last place. To Craig goes the distinction of staging the biggest upset in the U.S. Pro- fessional Championship. He eliminated Horton Smith in the first round of that event after a hard-fought battle that was not decided until the thirty-

seventh hole. He also won the Hawaiian Open.

ROSEDALE GOLF CLUB, TORONTO Leading Ontario Golf Organization Has a Remarkably Successful Year in 1929. Much Money Spent on Course Protection and Club House.

The reports of the perienced since the first of the year officers covering the activities for have passed on their way without the 1929 were enthusiastically received.

A vote of thanks was tendered to the members of the Board and particu- larly to the retiring president, Ccl. A. E. Gooderham, who gave so un stintingly of his time and efforts in what was probably the year of great- est development in the Club since moving to its present home. Retiring with the president vere Mr. W. C. MacAgy and Mr. bb. B. Thompson, whose term of three years upon the Board had expired. Mr. J. EK. Proctor also retired from the ecap- tainey and his placeis filled by Mr. F. A. Reid, who has advanced froin the vice-captaincy. Mr. R. Wylie Hart will make an efficient vice for the new captain, and as is custom- ary, there were only three nomina- tions to take the place of the retiring members of the Board, namely, Mr. W. G. Fraser Grant, Mr. A. B. Hannay and Mr. G. G. Mills. The complete directorate is as follows :— John Rennie, W. E. Douglas, J. H. Evans, W. G. F. Grant, A. B. Hannay, H. E. Manning, Dr. J. C. Maynard, G. G. Mills, Col. J. B. Rogers, secre- tary, E. C. Bowyer. Following the annual meeting Mr. John Rennie was unanimouslyelected president for the ensuing year.

MISS VAN WIE WINS FLORIDA CHAMPIONSHIP HE biggest surprise of winter golf was furnished by the Metropolitan Champion, Miss Maureen Orcutt, when at St. Augustine, Florida, in the Florida East Coast Championship she defeated the medalist, Miss Glenna Collett, U.S. Champion, 2 and 1, in the semi-final. In the same round Miss Helen Hicks, the long-hitting young Canadian Champion, was defeated by Miss Van Wie, of Chicago, by 3 and 2—another unexpected upset. In the final, Miss Van Wie took advantage of every break to defeat Miss Maureen Oreutt. Through her victory Miss Van Wie obtained the necessary three legs for permanent possession of the Mrs. W. R. Henen, Jr., Trophy, on which Glenna Collett had two legs and Miss Oreutt one. Although Miss Oreutt generally was longer from the tees and farther with her irons, it was Miss Van Wie’s almost uncanny shots around and on the greens coupled with several serious Oreutt errors that won for her the coveted trophy. Although Miss Van Wie played the steady game that is al- ways hers, it was admitted that hard luck leaned heavily to Miss Oreutt’s side of the match. Her trouble and trap shots seemed just a little harder than Miss Wie’s. Mrs. Henen has posted another cup to be battled for beginning next year in the seventh annual renewal of the Florida East Coast women’s championship. Mrs. Eleanor Rougvie, of Ottawa, made a particular creditable showing in the Tournament. She qualified amongst some of the finest women golfers in America and in the first round at match play was only defeated on the 21st green by Mrs. Helen Banghn, of Savannah, Ga., a well known player. Miss Collett won the qualifying round with a record-breaking round of 74, Miss Van Wie competed in the Canadian Ladies’ Championship at Lamb- ton in 1927, but was defeated in the third round by Mrs. J. L. Anderson, of Cherry Valley, L.I. In the qualifying round on that occasion she tied with Miss Helen Payson, of Portland, Me., with 82, Miss Payson ‘subsequently winning the championship. \ JAMAICA'S NEW GOLF LINKS Splendid 18-hole Course is Being Built on the Island.

The assistants to Mr. Davis in the course of the construction are Messrs. C. E. Rob- inson from Ottawa, Canada, and H&. I. Wood of the same place. Refreshments were then served ad lib. by Captain Rutty and his staff of diligent helpers. The Belle Isle Orchestra under Mr. G. Feres rendered peppy and jazzy music dur- ing the repast. The course will start from the front of the hotel and rise gradually to the site of the Port Royal Mountains, where the ninth hole is situated. The famous ‘‘ wishing well’’ will be established at that hole and a full view of the Kingston Harbour will be had from eleven of the holes. St. An- drew is destined to have one of the most beautiful courses. The course is designed and is being, construeted by Mr. Stanley Thompson, golf, and landscape engineer, of repute, who is responsible for the construc- tion of one of the best golf courses in the United States of America, namely, the Jasper Golf Course. After the inner man was amply satis- fied, ‘‘Squire’’ John Farqurarson said that it was a pleasure to introduce Mr. Gardner, a director of the Canadian National Rail- way, to new Constant Spring Golf Course and Country Club, as well as of the hotel. Only one speech was made that afternoon and that was by Mr. Gardner. Mr. Gard- ner would tell them the great things that were being attempted to achieve. Three cheers and a ‘‘tiger’’ were then given for the ‘‘Squire’ Mr. Gardner said that he took very great pleasure on behalf of the directors of the HE three blue-ribbon Empresses fur- Golf Club to open the construction of the nish a perfect—and distinctively Can- golf course.

Miss Mollie Gourlay, the ranking British player, will captain the British team, which without the assistance of Miss Joyce Wethered and Miss Cecil Leitch will have its own troubles in defeating the strong American team. Later on it is hoped these International matches will be open to teams from France and Canada.

HAGEN AND KIRKWOOD HAVE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE \ J ALTER HAGEN has always been acclaimed the luckiest golfer “in captivity.” His “horse-shoe luck” has been the envy of his brother professionals. Recently, however, his good-luck-genius seems to have deserted him. The past winter the breaks went all against him and he was never “in the money” in the big Southern tournaments. Nowill-luck has once more dogged his footsteps and those of his partner, Joe Kirkwood. On the way from San Franciséo to Australia smallpox broke out on the steamship Aorangi, on which they were passengers and as a result both golfers, with some thirty others, were quarantined for two weeks at Sidney. This meant the postponement of their exhibition tour of the Antipodes scheduled to open at Neweastle March 6th. ‘The primrose path” which “Sir Walter” has trod for the past ten years is not so “primrosy” just now and advancing years will, not improve matters. Great was Hagen. Great nowis young Horton Smith, who is already hailed as his successor to the world’s professional golfing throne.

NEW GOLF COURSE TO BE OPENED AT VIRGINIA BEACH The Cavalier Golf and Country Club 18-hole Course Will Open About Easter. Club House to Overlook the Water. (Special Correspondence ‘‘Canadian Golfer’’) IRGINIA BEACH, Va., March 15.—One of the features of Virginia Beach V/, for 1930 will, be the opening of the new 18-hole course of the Cavalier Golf and Country Club at Bird Neck Point during the spring of this year. The club house has been erected overlooking the water and the links already have been accredited as ranking among the sportiest and most pie- turesque courses in the country. The new course adjoins the Princess Anne Country Club course on the south. The Princess Anne course has become a great favourite of golfers

The new golf course is now completed andit is expected that the new home of the Country Club will be finished on the formal opening of the course at Easter time. visiting the new Cavalier Hotel at Virginia Beach and visitors from Norfolk. Thereare eighteen beautiful, bent greens and the course is so laid out that the sun is never in a player’s eyes. The players on one fairwayare lost to view from the players on any other fairway. This course has a total yardage of 6,208 yards (yardage at 19th hole excepted) with a par of 72 over fairways that compare with any in the United States. The tall aisles of spruce and pine which border the fairways render it particularly attractive. And the new Cavalier Country Club course soon will give an additional 18 holes for play as Virginia Beach possesses the same natural attractions of pleasing terrain. The new Cavalier Country Club course was designed by Charles H. Banks, golf architect of New York, associate of the late Seth Raynor, and is most interesting, sporty and picturesque. Manyof the holes run through woods and others are featured by views of the water. Much of the course is on land which is undulating and which has some bold natural hazards. There is no monotonyin the layout. It has great variety, both in golf shots and also in natural features. Though none of the holes are modeled with any exactness after world famous holes, yet there are several that follow the same general design.

YORK DOWNS, TORONTO, IN ENVIABLE POSITION HE annual meeting of the York Downs Golf Club held recently at the Ni Edward Hotel, was largely attended. Messrs. P. Howard Jones, R. QO. Daly and Z. G. Lash were elected directors for a term of four years. Brig.-Gen. C. H. Mitchell a nd F. H. Bacque retired from the board, caused by the completion of their terms. Following the general meeting, directors elected Russell R. Grant presi- dent for a second term, and A. D. Leitch vice-president, also for a second term. Annual reports showed a substantial, increase in membership; a reduction in the mortgage indebtedness, which is now $15,000; an inerease of $10,000 in reserves after writing off $6,542 for depreciation, and an excess of revenue over expenditure in 1929 of approximately $1,000. The gross revenue of the club during the year was $44,080, showing an increase of $3,526. During 1929 substantial progress was made in building up the texture of the fairways, resulting in improved playing conditions, and a number of shelters were erected. Since the close of the season construction of some of the extra bunkers has taken place. Work has been commenced on a bunker between the fifteenth and sixteenth fairways, at driving distance from the sixteenth tee. A numberof trees have been planted between the fairways on the second half of the course. The membership showed a substantial, increase in 1929 and nowstands at 621 membersofall classes, which includes 76 juniors. York Downs, which ranks very high amongst Toronto Clubs, altogether is in an enviable financial position. The membership comprises many prominent Torontonians.

The luncheon respite seemed to revive Taylor, for he came out with a rush in the afternoon, and overcame his five-hole dis- advantage in the first eight holes, snaring a birdie deuce on the 190-yard eighth. Bartle won the ninth with a birdie four and regained the lead. 30th played an astonishing brand of golf coming back, for Taylor took a 33, one under par, to pull even, Bartle getting a 34.

Fate Ele announcement, which has drews, been cabled from St. An that the Royal and Ancient has appointed Roger Wethered as cap- tain of the British Walker Cup team has come as a distinct surprise, as by common consent the British Amateur Champion, Cyril Tolley, had been given the position However, t- ee Wethered will possibly make a be ter skipper than the colourful Cyril. tle has “class” both on and off the ‘inks and is not only a fine golfer but has excellent judgment as demon- strated in more than one hard-fought fight. Wethered, who is a brother of the famous Joyce, really does not re quire to shine in the reflected glory of his sister. He won the British Amateur Championship in 1923 and was semi-finalist in 1924 and 1927 and runner-up in 1928. He tied for the Open Championship in 1921 with Jock Hutchison, losing on the play off. He really should have won this creat event, only unfortunately he trod on his ball, whilst playing in the final round of the championship. No one saw: him do so, not even his caddie, but he promptly reported the incident to the referee and suffered the penalty—one stroke which made his total score 296, the same as Hutchison’s. That’s the British idea of true sportsmanship which has come down through the decades, But for this most unfortunate accident Wethered would have been one of the very few amateurs to win the world’s oreatest Open golf fixture Six other players have been selected on the Walker Cup team in addition to Wethered.

FORMER PRESIDENT DID MUCH FOR GOLF IN THE SVATES

R. W. H. TAFT, the former Chief Justice and former President of the United States, had columns devoted and deservedly so to his remarkable career, but strange to say, no reference was made to the fact that he was the first President of the United States ever to play golf. Mr. Taft was a very keen golfer indeed and during his Presidency unquestionably did much to popularize the game with his fellow countrymen as did former Premier Lord Balfour in England at about the same time. Mr. Hardingis the only other U.S. President who played golf. Rather odd but he participated in his last game in Canada. He was avisitor to Van- couver just before his sudden illness and death and took part in a four-ball match on the Shaughnessy Heights golf course in that city. That was his last appearance on anylinks. Former Presidents Wilson and Coolidge and Presi- dent Hoover have never enthused over the Royal and Ancient game.

The match ended one up on the eighteenth green. Walker and Gambercollected $1,500 first team money bytheir victory in the 18-hole play-off made necessary when the teams ended their 36-hole final match on the previous dayall square.

Walker and Gamber found odds of 20 to 1 against them as they opened the annual golfing spectacle Sunday, but they forged their way through com- petition of 32 teams. Sarazen and Farrell, eliminated in the semi-finals, drew a $400 teamprize, as did Tony Manero, Elmsford, N.Y., and Denny Shute, Columbus, Ohio. The four teams defeated in quarter finals were given cheques for $200 each, while those who played Monday were given $100 cheques for each team. Oyril Walker, who is an Englishman, sprang into prominence in 1924 when he won the U.S. Open Championship. He has not figured very promin- ently since. He took part in the Canadian Open at Lambton in 1925, the year that Diegel won the Championship for the second time.

Seotia, across the bay from Halifax, writes: ‘“At our annual meeting the same directors were re-elected. And our executive officers are the same as last year for the present. Weare arranging to secure a resident secretary- manager this year which it is hoped will relieve the duties of the other officers. Col. Vidito was elected as chairman of the green committee, H. 8.

THE “HOLE-IN-ONE” SEASON OFF TO AN EARLY START HEfirst Hole-in-One of the 1930 season goes to the credit of W. S. P. Rainford, of the General Construction Company, Granville Island, Van- couver, B.C... Playing over the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Course, Van- couver, B.C., with Mr. N. J. Smillie, he found“the tin from the tee” on the 10th hole, 150 yards. It is safe to say that before the snowflies again at the end of the 1930 season, two hundred or more Canadian golfers will “follow in the footsteps” of Mr. Rainford. The second “oneer” to report is Mr. C. J. Cameron, of Vancouver. Play- ing with Dr. C. H. Gatewood, February 22nd, he made the 5th hole on the Jericho course, Vancouver, in one. Mr. E. C. Gould, one of the ranking players of the Brantford and Hamil- ton Golf Clubs, is a visitor to Biloxi, Miss., this month. Playing with three other well known Canadian golfers, Messrs. E. F. Seagram, Waterloo, Geo. C. Heintzman, Toronto, and W. F. Cockshutt, ex-M.P., Brantford, on the Edge- water Gulf Hotel course, he put over a beauty at the 16th hole, 215 yards, and found the cup. This is Mr. Gould’s “first offence”. He was previously a erack hockey player but for some years now has been a keen and successful devotee of the Royal and Ancient. Last season Miss Ethel Egbert, daughter of the Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta, made the 6th hole at the Mayfair Golf and Country Club, Edmonton, in one.

830 CANADIAN GOLFER Vol. 15, No. 11 friends with a smile. It would be an abominable world if we carried all our disappointments upon our countenances. We must congratulate those who are elated with success and we must nevergive them a hint of what we suffer through our ownfailure. Ourpainis not because another has succeeded, nor even that he has won, but because we have failed to accomplish that one which we have spent so much time andeffort. I once lost a game when I represented myelub in an important match. I lost it to a man who ordinarily was not my equal. We were the last pair to come in and the game was a tie pending our score. My captain had already accepted the match as won, when my defeat gave the decision to the other club. Never knowing howdeeply he stung me, he said, “Ed, I am disappointed, I had counted on you to win.” Likelife again; men fail and we pass them by, but we never know how hard they have tried to win. We play our bands to the victors and we forget that battles are lost in the same spirit as that in which they are won. I venture to hope that on life’s final score-eard, there will be a space for recording aspirations as well as achievements.—EdwardLeslie.
