Irish Potatoes The ordinary white potato is called the Irish potato because it is the favorite food of Ireland. In troduced into that country by Raleigh in 1610, the potato bccame the national food of the Irish with in 20 years. Its sudden popu larity there has been ascribed largely to the fact that it was one edible which could not easily be either destroyed or carried away by the marauding armies of that period. The tubers were simply left in the ground until needed. A frost which penetrated deep enough to spoil the country's un stored and never-harvested potato crops, caused the great Irish famine of 1739. ?

For some time ahead, outside of two such phys ical and mental conditioning games as football and boxing, where body contact is vital, the main demand on the country will be for playing games above spectator games. The two leaders here are golf and bowling. Basketball is also a p'uy ing game on the major side, but it also carries a ma jor spectator follow ing, which neither golf nor bowling needs. The bowling call on the playing side 5-?" - -"J iWi}' *n iiH all the others. Ex perts tell me we have 20,000,000 bowlers of one de gree or another now actively engaged at target work down the alleys. This far over shadows golf in numberii. But golf still has the call in the matter of open country and five miles of hik ing for sense 2,000, 80S club swingers between the ages of 8 and 80. Bowling today is by all odds the most popular spurt in the United States. It is a game that costs far less than golf, that requires p.s much skiii. but which stiil misses the sun and wind and rain and the longer leg hike. We are not trying to com pare the two, since they are totally different. They are both great games. Neither has the toughening, fiber making aspect of football and box ing, in which you have to take and give a physical beating to get any where. But not everybody can play football or box. And almost every body can play golf or bowl. 4 1. /ll/UUt U(/U/(W(^ The astonishing feature about bowling popularity is that it hap pens to be a difficult game to write about. It lacks the thrills of foot ball, boxing, tennis and other sports. I mean for the reader. It lacks the diagnosing qualities ui guii. But it is one of the simplest of all games for the player, especially on the equipment side. And it happens to carry just as much entertainment as any game one can think about in a hurry. A game must have amazing quali ties to round up from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 players without the bally hoo so many other games get. If you have never bowled or if you haven't bowled for many years, give it a try and you'll be converted. About Golf Golf has always been ? and always must be ? a game for the player. Many have asked me why big goll championships don't draw with oth er sports. In golf it is the spectator who takes the beating, not the flay er. Although, in a big tournament, the player takes his share. How often would you draw big crowds in football, racing, baseball or any other game if the spectator had to gallop five or six miles over cross - country territory, jump ditches, climb fences, wade through a morass, fight through briar patches, be a broken-field runner and a blocking back to see every other shot played? A golf spectator has to be an ath lete, in training, willing to take a hard beating, to see most of the shots played in a championship by some leading star who is drawing the crowds. If golf had the same accommoda tions for the spectator that other games have, it would be on a par with any game played in the way of admissions. It is the only game I know where the spectator gets a harder workout than the player draws. The Range of Games This happens to be the greatest sporting country in the history of a cock eyed world, Rut with war con ditions as they are there must be certain readjustments. For the youth of the country I still insist there must be a maxi mum of body contact games? espe cially football and boxing. Baseball is also a great game. So are track aad field and basketball. Also ten nis. Also golf. Thsy help to make legs. They add to physical stamina. They are strictly worth while. This Is especially true of golf and bowl ing for those who have bumpet" into the march of the years. But for high schoifl and college play there should be a big increase <-.r? fho cirlo of fonfhall artri hr?vir??* Pomp and Ceremony Nearly Floored St huuh At a meeting of the British Iror. and Steel Institute, Charles M. Schwab was presented with the Bessemer medal. It was a solemn affair, marked by much formality. Before introducing each speaker, the toastmaster intoned: "Mr. President, your Excellencies, my noble Lords and gentlemen?" The guest of honor was accus tomed to American business meth ods, but not to such ceremony. When called upon to speak, Mr. Schwab repeated: "Mr President, your Ex.ellencics. my noble Lords and gentlemen ? " Then mopping his brow, he exclaimed: "Whew, I'm glad that's over.
