Every road out of the city seems to have at least one of them, and once you get into what used to be the open country you find them fairly squeezing one another to death. The danger from flying goif balls is becoming as great as that from drunken drivers. Worse—they are so small and come so quickly you can't even make a pretense of dodging them When golf first threatened to be- come popular in this country, its devotees were ridiculed as ‘‘flos- | sies,’ game was considered a tame one in “sissies’ 'and so on. And the ose days. Now that the regular game h come to be accepted as a he-man pastime—by a change in standards rather than by any increased roughness in the game itself—these new imitations are being introduced and the sport actually reduced to the “Willie boy” stage. Even if you don't hit them very far, you have to walk at least four | or five yards for your second shot on a real course. While even the greatest distance hitter on a prac- tice course merely takes a stey to the pail and then drives his second shot from the same spot as the first. Which is hardly exhausting. And then these miniature lin with their tiny greens and trick traps and bunkers—you could never | wear yourself out dancing about one of them. You might work yourself into a froth because you couldn't put the ball in the uphill hole, but you would collapse from emotional and not physical exhaustion We don't propose to criticize tnese courses. They are all right for a ttle fun on the side. But we are fearful lest they replace rather than supplement the real article. Can you imagine 10.000 people foilow- ing Bobby Jones around a Tom Thumb course? Or the papers giv- ing first page space to a story that Walter Hagen averaged 196 yards on his €0 shots from the pail?

Figure that one out. i First Personal Pronoun Lover Put in His Place A newcomer in local professional ranks has been devoting considera- ble of his time to telling of his ex- ploits ~elsewhere—his prowess in various lines of activity, but par- | ticularly in sports. During the week he attended a baseball game and sat on the bleach- ers discussing topics of the day. When the conservation turned to thrilling moments in baseball he waited for his opportunity to speak, and when it came he sat back, cross- ed his arms, and began: “I remember the time when I was managet{ of a semi-professional baseball team and we were playing against a strong team with just enough players to fill out the lineup. One of our men was disabled and I donned a uniform in his stead. “Things were going along evenly against the strong opposition of a big league pitcher the other team had secured from the smaller club to which he had been farmed out. “Finally, the last inning came with the opposing team leading us 3 [to 1. With two men on bases, and two outs, I came to bat. A hit would score two men and tie the game or a home run would win for us. The pitcher threw five balls, two strikes and three balls **** Then, just as the speaker had built his story up to a real Dick Merriwell | |climax, one of his professional brethren blurted out: “Wasn't that !a funny sight on Main strect today when that follow couldn't start his car!” And the opportunity for a hearty laugh took precedence over © story of that last pitched ball, not told Rambling Rastus Vents His Foelings Having nothing to do and no in- clination to do anything very strenu- ous, Rambling Rastus roamed into | e Observer's sanctum today and proceeded to hask in the breeze of an electric fan, while he helped himself to the editor's favorite he began, resting hogany desk as ye cditor removed two ink wells and | the box of cigars from the danger zone, “I ‘Jjust missed another mes- scnger boy.” “Whadda ya mean, ye just missed | another messenger hoy? “Well, I meaf that as I was driv- | ing north through the center on Main street one of these color blind nessenger boys who knows no traf- fic laws went the wrong way through a oneway street against a red light, and T almost ran into hin “Iverywhere a man drives in these ys he sees boys on bicycles who {do not pay any attention whatever to traffic rules. laws or ordinances.
