St Valentine's Tournament

' () tell me truly,. Connor,
0 tell me, Connor Black,
Sow will it rain, you think, again,
Or will the clouds roll bacJc?"
-Oh! man, I canna tell ye,
1 surely canna tell;
But if it doesna rain again
We'll have a long dry spell."
Thus replied the well-known sage to
our tearful and poetic entreaties. Un
expectedly, he made no mention of St.
Valentine, or St. Swithin, or the ground
hog, or the moon, or the present admin
istration. He contented himself with the
delphic utterance above.
Therefore, 0 Golfers, we cannot give
you the encouragement we had hoped.
When ' Connor goes back on us there is
something wrong in the State of Pine
hurst. '
We have to report merely that the Six
teenth Annual St. Valentine's Tourna
ment got under way on Monday last,
but at the present writing has come to
a standstill. Old J. Pluvius is on the
job. Owing to the delay in consequence
a double-header may be run on Friday
in order to complete the program.
The entries this year are not so large
as last. One hundred and forty-seven
have entered the fray. No doubt many
of the brethren are compelled to remain
at home, and possibly in bed, with the
prevailing indisposition.
Mop day morning on the links proved
to be a sort of a freeze-out to all except
James Barber. He appeared at the Club
House with the pockets of his sweater
bulging mysteriously. Investigation by
revenue agents disclosed two nice hot
baked potatoes tucked away in each
pocket. Mr. Barber explained that
these potatoes would keep warm all
around the links and were most admir
ably adapted for keeping his hands
Avarm and his courage high. 'Twas not
ever thus! Who would have thought
in days gone by. of resorting to such a
base expedient and substitute!
For what they are worth, we append
below the best scpres made Monday in
the Qualifying Round. It is amazing
to note in this list the absence of such
well-It nown names as R. C. Shannon,
AT THE CAROLINA
Jock Bowker and Donald Parson. It
was the chilly weather, no doufyt.

The golf bug has a sad face. He is
plainly out of sorts. Something is the
matter with him. He has just come
from the doctor's office where he has
undergone a thorough physical examin
ation. He is sore and depressed, but
not from what the doctor found, but
from what he refused to find.
"You are all right," said the learned
physician. "You are as sound as a
nut.''
That was a little joke the golf bug
did not enjoy.
"Are you sure that I am in first-class
condition?" he asked.
"Absolutely."
"Is my blood pressure normal f"
"Perfect."
"Heart regular?"
"Heart O. K."
"Lungs clear?"
"As a bell."
"Liver in good working order?"
"SpTendid."
' ' Kidneys functioning properly ? ' '
"Yes."
"No trace of neuritis?"
"Not a bit."
"Am I not bordering on a nervous
breakdown?"
"See no indication of it."
"I'm sorry."
"Sorry, man, what for?"
"I thought sure you'd dig up some
good excuse for me to go south for the
winter. Now I'll have to be honest and
say that I'm going to Pinehurst, N. C.
simply because I want to play golf."
Edgar Guest in The Detroit Free Press.
