IIILADELPIIIA has
never quite forgiven St.
Louis for the inference
that the title of the fa
mous book, "The Quick
and the Dead", was sug
gested to the author by seeing the names
of the two cities "St. Louis Philadel
phia" in a newspaper headline. In ad
dition there's long been bitter rivalry
between Pennsylvania and Missouri as to
whether the "see that hump" hook and
eye, or the "Missouri meershaum" corn
cob pipe, was the most famous. As a
result many bright hours have been made
vaporous by discussions of the question
and with the result that Philadelphia
takes to St. Louis as a bull does to a red
flag, and St. Louis regards Philadelphia
much as a skittish mare does a steam
roller. In a word neither the two states
cob-pipe discussion, or the "quick and
the dead" inference, are live issues.
Unfortunately several members of the
Men's Social Club, which meets nightly
at the left of The Holly Inn lobby (re
served for men only) , have been indiscreet
enough to frequently refer to the hook-and-eye-corn-cob-pipe
discussion, or the
"quick and the dead" inference, with
disastrous results which soon led to un
complimentary remarks about the class
of golfers Pennsylvania and particularly
Philadelphia, and Missouri and particu
larly St. Louis, produces. Pennsylvania
positively asserted that garden hoes were
a part of every St. Louis golfers equip
ment, and Missouri reckoned a hoe was
more useful than a pick-ax, intimating
that Missouri and incidentally St. Louis,
could make Pennsylvania and incident
ally Philadelphia, look like the eagle on
the new ten dollar gold piece in a thirty
six hole medal play contest.
This suggestion immediately met with
the hearty approval of the Men's Social
Club Holly Inn lobby, left side (for men
only), and a purse of ten thousand dol
lars, mostly in checks upon banks which
have suspended, was raised quickly with
which a magnificent two dollar and a
quarter trophy was purchased; the bal
ance of the fund going to Dr. George S.
Hill, who was retained to administer
sedatives during play, and to secure
Jim Jackson's Brass Band and a special

or the two cities, have been photographed
in the "happy family" pose.
Purely by accident Philadelphia , and
incidentally Pennsylvania, through J. B.
Bowen, oftimcs referred to by club mates
as "Bunker Bowen" owing to his fond
ness for this particular feature of the
course; and St. Louis and incidentally
Missouri, through J. 1. Goodall, not un
commonly known in ancient Scottish
game circles as "Good-all-round-golfer",
mainly because of his enthusiasm for the
game; met at Pinehurst some ten days
ago.
The real purpose of their coming was
to familiarize themselves with the course
in anticipation of next April's champion
ship tournament, for now that Travis is
more or less in the background they are
more or less iu the public lime light, but
this object was entirely forgotten when
the home city of each was made known.
Personally Mr. Bowen and Mr. Goodall
are the best of friends, but as representa
tives of Philadelphia and St. Louis, and
incidentally Pennsylvania and Missouri,
they are bitter enemies. In a word they
break bread and smoke their after-dinner
cigars as friends, but once mention Penn
sylvania to Mr. Goodall, or Missouri to
Mr. Bowen, and the hook-and-eye-corn-
lot of imported Scotch caddies. It was
further decided that the event should also
be a State Championship a flair, continu
ing through two days in order that the
distinguished players might not overtax
themselves.
Monday morning the rival states lined
up beside the first tee, Missouri winning
the toss but losing the first hole and the
second, the next two being halved;
Pennsylvania winning the fifth, with
Missouri rallying on the last three holes
and starting home even and strong, win
ning four, losing two, and halving three
holes coming in, finishing two up and re
tiring to moorings happy and confident
with Pennsylvania grim and determined
in the offing.
Tuesday afternoon St. Louis again
started strong, winning the first, but
Philadelphia rallied for wins on the next
three holes, losing the fifth, winning the
sixth, halving the next two and taking
the ninth, starting home one up. Then
the great strain of the contest began to
tell upon iron nerves. Missouri landed
the tenth and evened the score, the next
two holes being halved. Philadelphia
gained the lead on the thirteenth, but
lost on the fourteenth, holding grimly on
for halves on the fifteenth and sixteenth,
