Prestwick, Sandwich; West- ward Ho, Deal and other famous Eng- lish courses werg models for golfers wherever the ancient Scotch sport was played. In recent years wide- spread development has been taking place in this country and with start- ling results, According to Capt. Charles Clarke, one of "8 best known professional golfers, one now needs only to travel down the Engineers’ Club at Roslyn, L. L, to' see the greatest test of golf thas has ever been constructed. ‘A hero of the Boer and World Wars, Capt. Clarke in his long golf- ing career has played over every principal course on the other side of the Atlantic. Last winter he became attached to the Engineers’ Club as a professional. Answering the writer's question how American and English links compared, the Captain quickly answered the Engineers’ was easily the finest course he had ever seen. “On the best courses abroad,” said Clarke, “there are perhaps five or eix really remarkable holes. The others are just ordinary. There is a big difference at the Engineers’. Every hole is different and one is a model of architectural skill, A selec- Speaker Sweet: Admits Boxing Has Good Chance ALBANY, April 22.—Assemibfy Speak- er Sweet said last night that a boxing bill of some sort might be passed be- fore the Legislature adjourns on Sat- “The Rules Committee,” explained the Speaker, “will give careful consideration to both the Walker and Gillett bills and may report elther to the House for con- sideration.” The Walker bill, has passed the ded so that the Senate, been first three members of the State Athletic Commission aball be appointed by the Governor for one, two and three years. ‘The Gillett measure allows bouts in arm pervised by a State commis- elon of National Guard officers, ee anenmantiens which amen: Young Ohaney Wins Referee’s De- elston.

There is little trouble close to the tees, but the player who doesn’t control his drive quickly gets in danger spots. The erection of natural barriers for iron shots is simply splendid. Any one weak with his mashie or nibliek would have a tough time negotiating the En- gineers’ course, It is possible to get a low score, but so far the best pro- The one who tried steadily for fives and lets the fours come as they will is the one who is reasonably sure to do well at Roslyn.” + Clarke thinks, the sixteenth is the greatest hole on the course.
