/ Je ON OTEEL SHAFT GLUB 1S SEEN Inability to Secure Decent Hickory Is Given by One Prominent Player—Perform No Miracles But Will Stand Up, Report With thousands of eople shfaetd clubs the nee for a ri the country over using steel- more liberal as well as com- mon sense interpretation as to what constitutes a golfer’s proper equipment becomes increasingly apparent. With- in the last fortnight two organizations, the Metropolitan and the New Jersey Golf associations, both loyal to the United States Golf Association, went sot ar as to issue warnings to the effect that the use of steel.shafted jubs would not be allowed in their vents. It was practically the same at the Westchester County championship, through A. J. Mendes, who started in the qualifying round at Sleepy Hollow, did not realize he had dis- qualified himself until after the com- pletion of the round when a notice tacke€ upon the bulletin board was called to his attention. Mondes, who had just turned in a card in low 80's had just turned in a card in low 20's had the following to say: “You ask why I prefer to play with steel shafts. Well, for several rea- sons, but one in particular is inability to secure decent hickory. In three month’s time I had five wooden shafts put in a elub and every one broke. Experiences such as that try one’s patience and is it any wonder I be- kan looking for a remedy? Right now five of the eight clubs in my bag are steelshafted and they are surely satisfactory, “No, thelr use does not make it poss'ble for a person to perform mira- cles. My scores average about the same as they did when I used nothing but hickory. The knowlege, however, that the steel weapons stand up are the same today as they were yester- day, and will be the same tomorrow, or a month from tomorrow, adds to the enjoyment of the round. We play golf for recreation and its health giv: ing environment, and to be handicap- ped by \senseless restrictions seems to me to be most unfair." The experience of Mendes has in a way been duplicated by another. H. C. Chapman, of Greenwich after com: pleting hig round In the medal play test of the Garden City invitation tournament Isst month, was shown the notice barring steel shafts. His contention was that it {s no longer possible to procure satisfactory hick- ory; that is, for the averege golfer. The stars, he says, apparently have some inside track whereby they can get well seasoned wood. If everyone could be fortunate he believes the dé- mand for a change would not be near- ly so insistent. The longer the United States Golf Association maintains its present attitude toward steel-shafted clubs the most awkward will that uguet body find the situation from ich to “get out fram under.’ A shade-grown leaf. Workmanship — Con- solidated’s own. It'sa cigar, men—a real one. Former official of the national organ- ization, taking a common sense view of the affair sized it up somewhat this wise: “Being bound to tradition !s all very well so long as it is kept within bounds of consistency. In certain official quarters the belief etll exists that whatever fs done on this side of the Atlantic must go h&nd in hand with the policy in Great Britian, yet for years over here we have sanc- tioned our Schenectady putter, bar- red from competition in England and Scotland. As a result of this legisla. tion American players when they go abroad to compete in championships or international matches, are compel. led to fall back upon the old style putter.

COLORADO FISH KEEPING EVEN WITH ANGLERS As One Grows More Wary, So Does Other, Says State Game Commissioner DENVER, Colo,, June 12.—~As Colo- ago anglers grow more proficient year by year im the art of angling. 80 do the older and more sophisticated game fish in the streams of the stato grow more and more wary and hard to catch, according to R. G. Parvin, state game and fish commissioner. Hundreds of nativa brook and rein- bow trout which in past seasons have played with the fatal hook and have heen fortunate enough to escape are rapidly learning the tricks of ang- lers, according to Mr. Parvin. Some of them are so well informed, he said, that they will le idle in the clear waters of some of the mountain streams and indifferently watch the Teaak Waltons cast in vain, There is one particular five-poun@ trout in the White river country, Mr. Parvin said, which has been the chief object of many fishing trips on the part of a Coloredo banker, Year after year the banker has sought the haunts of this partctular trout and year after year he has been complete- ly ignored by the sophisticated i. “All of which goes to show," Mr. Parvin declared,” that fish have brains as well as instinct. Once they escape from the hook, game fish ap- parently hay sense enough to be careful, even to the extent of restran. ing their natural impulses to stri flies.
