SQUIRRELS FOND OF GOLF BAI LS So ( unadiaii Golfer % ould Train (Irealurfs lo Bring Balls Home and Pay Them j Five Cents a Ball. Ity KAIIt I'l.AY. Cc ? 1 1 9 't. 1921, Or T?. AO.anc. New ^ork, Keb. 7 ? George Mac Donald. the eminent Canadian golfer. has a project in mind which 1 would be to the advantage of all golf flubs. Hut before you learn what this project is, you must tirst consider the t^o incidents which came under his observation in 1#23 and gave rise to the big idea. Well: ?Mr*. Archie McLean of l.achlne. who was "playing a course in .Mon treal. noticed a squirrel scampering olf lo the wood a with a golf ball. &n.- chased the squirrel to its' nest. It. was some job. but being dressed properly (or runulug. she achieved it. Looking into a hole in the tree in which Mr. Squirrel had apart 1111 nls. she found (is golf balls. While the golf balls were being removed, the squirrel, sitting on his haunches in a limb above the des pollers of his treasure, told them what he thought of them in language that might have brought a reproof from the lady of the house had she not been down lo the nearest neigh uor s playing squirrel mall Jong. *1 O '?,ly w,l? t<!ok away the golf balls paid lor them in pari by leav ing a bag of nuts in their place. Incident Xo. 2. Mr. Arnold W. Duclos. K. C of iiTi, Court of Ottawa, while playing a short hole between trees on the Hivermead (.'curse at Ottawa, struck a branch with the ball he drove. The bull fell lo the ground and thereupon a squirrel, which was in the tree and which thought the hall had been aimed at him. ran down, seized ilie ball and scampered with it lo his home, not withstanding the gouty efforta of some highly indignant golfers to catch him. I! was debated whether tne ball should he considered as a lost hall or whether another hall iniUiit !)e dropped without penalty. The decision in that case was reached only after a lengthy argu ment. As the ball was worlh a dol lar. the question arose whether the club should pay the price of the ball to the golfer because of lark of police protection against squirrels. H was finally agreed thai as both nuts and bugs played golf the club should not be asked to increase its risk farther because sqlrrels stole the balls. " Xuw_for Mr. MacDonald's Inspir ation. lie suggests that properly (rained squirrels for everv golf course will gt/ a long way toward solving the lost hall problem which is so vexing to golfers. Some men can play golf and never lose a ball, while some can't play without losing a box In one way or another. The one drawback to un iversal golf has been the fact of lost balls. The chap who Is Just a able to pay his club dues, his tobacco bills and his hills for incl dtntlals, does not feel that he can purchase a box of golf balls every week and keep up his contributions tp the church at the same time Mr. Macdonald thinks all i|,ls can be happily averted by putting say from three or four properly trained sqiiaii-, Is on every golf rourse with Instructions lo run jlown all lost halls and take them to palatial nests which will bo established by (lie clubs. ' Each squirrel could easily save frein <1.1)0 Hp annually for the mem bers and the cos( of keeping (he squirrels would be almost negative With BO many nuts In the neighbor-'1 hood as are likely to .be found around any golf course. Very likely the fhurrhes of which golf club members are also members would he very glad to help main lain the squirrels on a flfly-flfty basis. ? i All halls would he initialed by the: owners and each owner would wil lingly give a dime for the recovery' of a lost ball. Of this amount five cents would go to the church sub-' Kcription plafe and five cents to the' fqulrrel fund. If In the course of time the squlr-l ,tfutn<l *rew ,ar?* enough, It! would be an easy matter to give a squirrel hall at the club house, and, thus both entertainment for the' golf club, and loyal support for The' church would he brought about by! the proper teaching of th??se little' animals which have too often been! made into pie against their own In-! cllnatfon. Cnn Ermlno Spalla keep out of' Firpo's way and at the same time pepper him with gloves? Borne Jersey men who were close to the! Italian WflBTI lie was staying in .V*?w-} ark profess to think so. They say I that Ermino is much cleverer than ' iFirpo right now. and that he has a better chance of diminishing the Argentina's lustre than most of the sharps think. There is talk that certain big men in the game are already prepared to build on Spalla if he lives up to their dope and gives the wild bull a boxing lesson.' Carpentier demanded $75,000 as his price for meeting Mike McTigue. Jersey promoters who asked for and received this valuable information, are still gasping. Vet on the other hand Carpentier* i& still a big drawing card in the country and i none are cleverer than his cute Manager, Descamps. Rickard might arrange to pay 1'arpentier this price.)

Marston Describes Real Golf Swing Says Game Depends on Theory That There Are Four Distinct Stages liy WAJ/TKU ( AMI' Copyright. 1*21. by The Advance Xcv York. February 7. ? Max Marston, the amateur golf champion has come out with a description of his swing in which h;e says that his game depends upon the theory that that there are four element*, or distinct stages to the golf swing. The first is to keep the left arm straight from the beginning, as fur back as it will gts. If Marston will study pictures of some of the star I British players of two or three de cades ago, he will be astonished to see how far back and up the left ! arm can be kept straight. These photographs demonstrated, when the writer was putting forward the theory of the straight left arm, that it can be practically locked to an astonishing height, and this straight . left arm is a common feature of i nearly all high-class players. The second move Marston de scribes as bending the elbows with i a break at the wrist, at the top of a back swing. The writer is in , clined to think the average player j .would do better without this second move. The third is straightening the ; left arm again on the down swing, i The fourth, is the follow through, : in which Marston describes the left j arm as breaking just before the fin ish of the follow through. Well, | as a matter of fact, it does not make much difference at that point what | the elbow or the club head does, I except as that moment is the nec | essary result of the earlier part of | the swing. The report from England that the , victory of the noted golf writer Bernard Darwin. In the tournament! of the Oxford-Cambridge Golfing | Society was a popular one, will be i seconded most heartily over here. Darwin is one of the most pleasing and satisfactory of all golfing scribes, and more than that, his game is an admirable one, full of pluck and tenacity. His approaches is re thing* of Joy and beauty to all bu his opponents. Incidentally, he defeated a field of good men, includ-' ing Cyril Tolley. ^ On the highly timely subject of a lighter goli bull, one professional writes: "The ball Is making a mon key of the golf course. Holes mea suring say 4 40 to 4 SO yards today are no longer real two-shooters." j This is commended to the consid-j oration of the 95 percent of golfers' scattered this country over, who are hardly likely to be worried when I hoy 'stand on the tee of a 480-yard I u.le lest they dri^b so far that they! will have to restrain their second! shot for fear of going over the green. The quest ion comes right back to the old one of whether we arc mak ing our golf courses and our balls, for men who have to us.' mid-Irons or mashies for their second shots to 4 S 0-yard holes. Despite the controversy that Is going on between French and Amer ican physicians on the question of the responsibility of scanty apparel for influenza among women, the Vassar girls, during the recent cold snap, appeared in knickerbockers and bare knees, and evidently thriv ed on it.
