PRICES FOR CLUBS, BALLS. AND CADDIE HIRE GOING UP Scarcity of Good Hickory Is a Factor in Rising Mar- ket for Sticks—Adoption of Steel Shafts Would Tend to Ease Situation. G prices for balls, clubs and higher rates for caddie hire, not ta. mention boosts in dues at many clubs. A couple of years ago a goli club manufacturing concern came out with wooden clubs which retailed at $12 apicce. Later the same firm came out with a “de hixe” set of wooden clubs which sold for $30, or $15 apiecc. The other day a Washington golfer, wishing to obtain a sct of really fine golf clubs, paid $25 for a pair of spiendid wooden clubs, with which he hopes to create barrage of pars and birdies that will overawe his fellow players. But. on the whole, what does the mere payment of $25 or $30 for a pair of goli clubs mean?

THE' SUNDAY ~STAR, Cost of Playing Golf Ste CHAPTER XIH. Bobby. Jones: The Boy—and the Golfer. BY O. B. KEELER. I AM not likely to forget the first thing I heard Bobby say after he became national open champion. He was sitting on the steps of the In- wood clubhouse, waiting for the U. S. G. A. officials and the camera n and the vast assembly to get set for' the presentation. He was solemn and he looked forty-five years old, and his eyes were an inch back in his head. But on his face was a vast content. “Well, Bobby?” said I, finding it somehow hard to talk. ; “Well—I don’t care what happens | now,” said the open champion. And he said a lot in that short statement. | It meant that the long hike was | over. It meant he had broken ! through. It meant that no miracle round now could take that medal from him and that quaint old cup. { It meant that Fortune had smiled at last—that nobody ever would say | again, “He's a great golier—but he | can’t win." The long lanc had turned. Going south in a little compartmen of a Pullman car—golng home with the bacon at last—Bobby suld an- {other thing 1 love to think about. I asked to see the ball with which he won the play-off, He fished it out {of his 0ld sult case, and with it a |leather box contalning the great old {melal of champlonship. Bobby opened the box and looked |at the medal, turning it this way |and that, perhaps thirty seconds. | Then he looked up and said: | Do you know it's hard as devil to get one of these things!” 1 think 1 know now.

Great a golfer as Bobby Jones is— and they are all saying now what George Duncan sald two years ago, that he's the greatest golfer in the world—HBobby Jones is a greater boy. His fellowlownsmen to the num- !ber of two thousand met him at the train with a roaring welcome and a brass band. His own club gave him ia tremendous dinner party at East Lake and a silver service. He was dined and luncheoned and mads speeches about and everything. He | ! did his best to reply, but If he is an | cpen champlon at goif he surely is a | closed champion at oratory. He could just thank everybody, that was 1l. It was easy to see he Was won- dering why they were making so much fuss over him. It wasn't all because he was an lopen champion. Some of thetspeech- makers got It right—it was mostly because he was Bobby Jones. He's not the sort of player who | ever reaches self-satisfaction. {_ After winiing at Inwood In 1923 {he went home and began experiment ing with a new style of putting | which department of his game is con- ceded to be the weakest—indecd his only weakness, Models Putting After Hugen. “I have putted so badly the last few years” said Bobby, “that I have been” putting a_different way about every month—almost every round, it seems to me somstimes. 1 decided that the only help for ma was to'plck out one style and stick to it.

H. KERNODLE___| No more favorable setting could have been pioked than the Scranton show, at which k P. Leach “put over” his great bull terrier bitch, Newcoin Tempest, to her champion- ship prefix. The judge at this show was Rev. F. J. Heaney, secretary of the Bull Terrier Club of America, and recognized as one of the greatest liv- ing authorities on the breed, while the competition could not poesibly have been keener. That the entrants were ail of the highest quality is well illustrated by the fact that one of the best known bitches of the breed, Champion Cloudland Scrapper, only drew a fourth place in the open class, which’ was won by Tempest. dogs, stated that no finer collection of bull terriers had ever before been seen in the ring together than those in the open class at Scranton, which included, besides Tempest and Scrap- per, Markwood, White Sister and Markwood Susanne, from the much touted litter by His Excellency out of Champion Markwood Sonora; Vie- toria Patricia, owned by Mrs A.

The same prediction has been. made so many times that well wishers of the open champion hope the prognosti- cators will forget their predilictions nd let Bob g0 ahead. 2 Eight years ago Bobby, then a lad, came up to Merion.

It is easy (now he has won) to cxplain_that while he never has gone Lelow 70 in a national open cham- pionship, he never has gone abova 178, due to his inherent soundness gained while he was Stewart Maiden's shad- ow In the old days at East Lake. It is easy even—since he has won—to |say that he s too good a golfer to | be a lucky goller, which I honestly ‘;h:lle\q to be the case. | It is a pleasure to pick out and | deptet racteristic details of his style: almost square stance, feet very close together; hands held low and close to his knickers: right hand more on top fof the club than that any other crack golfer—except Itle ~ Maldens: upright, compact fwing; the ball nearly opposite the | left heel for normal full shots and nearly off the right heel for his fa- mous knockdown or push shot, which 1 regard as his leading character- istic with the irons. It is impossi- ble, of course, f orthe eye or the camera lens to.uncover the beautiful tining of his shots, though both may perceive something of the rhythm ‘of | his swing and the vast power flowing smoothly through it. “He gets his right side Into his big shots more than any other |1 ever saw,” said Chick Evansin ROD AND STREAM By Perry Miller HE United States bureau of fisheries makes the amazing announce- ment that, through scientific propagation of fresh-water mussels, it plans to make dozens of rivers throughout the land yield rich harvests in pearls, to be gathered in by.any one who desires. During the last year the streams of the country are estimated to have given up $15,000000 in these gems, produced by natural means with- in the shells of mussels that lic along the bottoms of rivers like the ;\lississippi and other waterways that have been dragged by pearl fishers or years. : But this enormous wealth in fresh-water pearls is small, accord- ing to governmental ‘experimenters, compared with what may be expeot- ed from scientific methods of in- | creasing pear] - production—methods {hat will bo adopted this year as the result of long experiments by the bureau of fishheries with 500 va- rietles of mussels found in. the Mississippl valley. ' In from four to six years they expect & orop of pearls that will surpass in treasure the richest “strikes” made in the gold flelds of California and’Alaska. Conducts Experiments. The experiments of the bureau were conducted at its station at Fairview, Towa. Of the 500 varieties of mussels - tested, forty were shown to lend themselves to pearl culture. Many of these, it was found, could be stimulated to the production of larger and finer pearia. : e spawn the mussel is & dent. Prates < oLt It parasite, It attaches itself to. the | oemotihy Y.
