Kinnan Played in the First Foursome at Yonkers February 33 JDate of Game Which lied to Formation of the lit. Andrews Golf Club "IT'S HARD to realize that American golf had its inception barely twenty-one years ago," commented Mr. Alex ander P. W. Kinnan, President of the Union Dime Bank, New York, at The Carolina the other evening, "but that's the fact in few words. John Keid of Yonkers and the Jordan L. Mott Iron Works was respon sible for it as the result of a trip to Scot land. 'Come out tomorrow' he said to a few of us on February 21, 1891, 'and we'll try a Scotch game I enjoyed on the other side.' "Accepting the invitation were John B. Upham, a New York broker, Harry Holbrook now deceased, formerly of Holbrook Brothers, and myself. The clubs used were several sets which Mr. Keid provided and six impromptu holes were laid out on what is tnow North Broadway in Yonkers. Tomato cans served as cups and Mr. Holbrook's sons, Fred and Warren, acted as caddies. "Two years later the formation of the St. Andrews and the parent American Club, resulted and what has come as a natural consequence you all know quite well. Your four Pinehurst courses show what the game means from resort stand point; courses everywhere indicate its national prominence and all because it's a game for young and old,' strong and weak, and its joy is unending." Wanderlust Auto Tourists Enroute for Florida by automobile, with sun-burn on their faces and wan derlust in their eyes, Messrs. W. L. Cook and J. L. Taylor of Plainville, Conn., passed through here Monday. Garbed in rough and ready attire, their machine adorned with equip ment like Santa Claus' traditional pack, they made a picturesque pair which attracted much attention. Rigged for fair weather or foul, they are prepared to take things as they find them, reveling in the joy of life and the thrill of conquest. They will be on the road some four weeks in all.
