'DUCKPIN GAME IS SUITED TO BOTH SEXES; ALL SIZES HE Kid took the vacant chair af “I suppose you were out I today?” he asked. “I was there,” admitted the Old pie. “I'm always there. But where do you get that choir-singing t the table. with the choir singers at the game Timer between bites at his wedge of stuff?” “Why,” explained the Kid, “I was just reading the other night where a bimbo claims that we Americans and you Irishers stage all our games for the spectators; just put 'em on so a bunch of squatters can watch a few steppers do their stuff while all the crowd does is cheer—pulls the choir singing. See?"” “But what's the rest of it?” asked the Old-Timer. “This guy went on to say that sports are no good unless the spec- tators can get into the game,” sald the Kid, as he and the Old-Timer made their way to the alley just vacated. “He says all our sports are Jjust to look at—a few -professionals doing the playing and the majority just looking on. “Gimme his name and address,” demanded the Old-Timer, “and Il write him a prescription at sonce; Just what the doctor ordered.” “What is it?” asked the Kid, pausing in-the work of rolling up a sleeve. ' “All that man needs know,” as- serted the Old-Timer, “is the loca- tion of the nearest bowling estab- lishment. He thinks base ball, foot ball and such things are our nation- al games. He needs to learn that bowling is a natlonal sport; with more followers than all the rest com- bined. And bowling is the sport of the bystanders. Yes, sir, anybody can get in on the bowling. game; and when I say bowling I'm really. talking of the ducks. The terpin game is a little out the reach. of women and children.’ 3 “Say, T neve mitted the Kid, “‘but the duckpin game is just what that guy was looking for, a game in which the fan takes part. Why, with duckpins not only . does every bowling fan shoot more or less regularly, but he can actually go eut, and, now and then at least, duplicate the fancy stuff the experts show.” “You said it,” agreed the Old-Timer. ““The thrill that comes once in a lif time in most sports can happen most any game with the ducks.

XVIL—GOOD GOLF TO BEAT A LADY. fi LONG in the Fall of 1921 an exhibition match at Pelham was one of the most interesting I'have eve; r had. 'Miss Cecil Leitch, the British woman champion, and her sister had come over to play in our women’s championship, and remained for a time, taking part in other tournaments and a few exhibition m: a special match between us on a handi Usually in these men-vs.women matches it is customary for the man to concede a half, that is to allow his opponent nine strokes, taken as they come on the card. But instead of doing this, I set out to give her six strokes bisque. “Bisque” means that the player recelving the stroke may apply it on any hole he or she see fit, or for that matter two strokes on oneé hole, provided the decision to use the stroke is made before leaving the green, or at least before starting play on the nest tee. Hits Ball Like Man. Tp to that time Miss Leitch looked upon as possibly the greatest woman player the game had .ever produced. Athletic and well set up, she certainly waded into a golf ball There was nothing effeminate about the way she walloped the ball. She was noted as a long driver among women, using the old-fashioned palm grip, which is conceded to yleld possibly more strength for a stroke than any other.- She had engaged in several matches on the other side on the basis of receiving nine strokes in 18 holes, and unless T am mistaken she had lost only one of these—to Abe Mitchell. At the start of the match. I wasn’t at all certain that it was possible to give her six bisques and. beat her. As a matter of fact 1 won and won easily, but in doing so I shot one of the best scoring rounds of golf in my lite. 1 had a card of 67, which was three or four .strokes better than I had ever played the Pelham, course before. Against h scoripg she really hadn't a chauce. There are several good long holes at Pelham and on more than one of these I heat her by two strokes, that is on gross scores, so that one bisque would not have even given her a half. This was the case on the long fourteenth, well | r 500 yards, where 1 got a brassie | »nd_home about 10 or 12 feet from the cup and holed an eagle In the matter of handicapping T should much prefer to give an oppo- nent nine strokes, taken as they come on the card, rather than six bisqu In the tirst place, it will frequently happen that the high-handicap player | will lose a hole on which he gets a stroke by two that his stroke does him no g hen again n win level at one or more in which case also his stroke is of no use to him. But if bisque strokes are given the receiver always has the privilege of using them where in his judgment they will do the most good. Then there is an- ather point. If You know that vou are conceding a stroke on a certain an go out and play accord- ‘be, extra chances | ranted. But when yvou ; whether your opponent is going to use a stroke there or not, the case is. different. So far-as vou are concerned, it is a sort of blind affair. was Goes on Long Tour. Starting out late in the Fall, Jock Hutchison and 1 engaged in one of the most protracted exhibition tou ever undertaken & golfing wa We went out through Canada to th Pacific Coast, playing a match or two on the wa Up around Viectoria and Vancouver we played others, and:then we headed south into California.. All told, we traveled something lika 10, 000 miles, getting far south in our atches. The Pelham club arranged cap basis. cngagements on the Paclfic Coast as n Diego, and then heading back east to wind up in Jacksonville. In the course of this tour I won the California open, while Jock picked up first prize in the Northern California open. During the past few years I have played exhibition golf matches in al- most every State in the Unlon. and these matches have been a liberal ed- ucation. You strike all types and kinds of courses, and the difficulties under which the game is played in some places is a fine tribute to the hold it has on the public. I'requently I have played over courses where the Dutting greens were 8o rough- that @ putter was next to useless. You had to take a mashie or some other lofted d hop the ball into the hole. se_exhibition matches have em- ed one thing which serves to explode one popular misconception of golf. That is, that every golfer likes to have his course considered a hard one. Nine times out of ten a club member will take it is a person- 1 insult if you tell him his course is diculously easy. The chances are it sn’t easy for him, and in a way you are belittling his game when you say that the course is pretty much of a joke so far as scoring difficulties go. Not True Situation. It is popularly believed that the constant urge to put in more and more traps and to add to the diffi- culty of play on a course, comes from the club professional and a few low- handicap players. This I am con- is quite the reverse of the real situation. Tn the first place, while the professional may feel that certain alterations would improve the course s a test for good play, his recom mendations are rarely followed, unless they happen to be indorsed by influen- tial members of the club. Then agaln, the low-handicap players In most ubs are generally the young players, who have listle to say in directing the policy of the club. 1 am convinced that in nine times out of ten, where a club decides to stiffen the course, the decision is reached because of the fact that cer. tain members, who practically direct the club’s affairs, have reached the conclusion that in comparison to other courses that they know, their own is rather a shabby affair, and they want to keep up with the proces- sion. It really is a case of pride, and more often then not the question of whether the course is already hard enough for the majority of the mem- bers never really enters into consid eration at all.
