Unless Hoover agrees to row in this eity or on a neutral course, Costello declared that the race was off.

Thirty years ago golf in the Usited | States was a fad. Years of steady expansion have Fe- moyed the sport from this category and made it as definite a part of our sporting scheme as base ball. Indeed, there has arisen a belief that the next twenty years will see golf supplant- ing base ball as our major national pastime—this chiefly through the present movement for the expansion of municipal links. Howevyer that may be, there is every reason to believe—visiting foreign golfers make no effort to deny lt— that America is destined to become | the greatest golfing country in the world. It is estimated that nearly two million men and women, boys and girls in the United States are playing golf—or wiil be shortly—and there are estimates which give this coun- try some sixteen hundred golf clubs with a membership of nearly a mil- lion. We are spending, according to | goifing enthusiasts, about $188,000,000 a year on the game. This is a stu- pendous, sum and in some ways is to be regretted, insofar as an apprecia- ble item in this annual expenditure goes for golfing paraphernalia, which is very expensive, and must be reduc- ed it the calling to the game of ad- ditional tens of thousands through the municipal links idea is likely to be realized. e CUE TOURNEY DELAYED.
