GOLF A GREAT GAME.
But the ''Miss Naucies" Make 1t a
Farce in America.

But the "Miss Naucies" Make 1t
Farce in America.
Comic papers joke not a little about
this good democratic Scotch game Of
golf and represent the golfer as an ami
taken advantage Of the golf craze to
create enormous opportunities for
weak minded rich young men to make
themselves absurd. and such young
men rarely overlook such opportuni-
ties.
But these foolish youths are not golf
players, and they cannot be used as
an argument that golf IL foolish
amusement or that 1t demands innum-
erable clubs and clothes and other ex-
pensive things that they love to indulge
in.
Rather look at Taylor. the open
champion OF England, and admit that
II is much fairer as well as much safer
to Judge the game by him than by ihe
Newport youth.
His picture as he actually appeared in
game on the links at Winchnstar.
England. was unique. H. played i'll
ordinary street clothes. Yet This is
Taylor whose name means to golfers
what PINS name means TO tennis play
ers or Bob Cooks to amateur osr'n'r
AS described by a writer In the Strand
Magazine, he not only violates the
dudes idea Of golf by wearing his or
dinary clothes but he usually carries
his own clubs dispensing with the cad
dy which the toy golfer glories in.
This is satisfactory proof that golf
has something to 1t beside clothes and
caddies II that fact were not likely to
be suspected by sensible people any
way. 1t has spread with wonderful
rapidity among the rich since its intro
duction in America a few years ago,
and 1t II inevitable that It IL to become
one Of the most popular games for
everybody as soon as the stigma Of be-
inG Q clothes-horse amusement wears
o8
What makes 1t q good game? The
fact that It beats you oftensr than you
beat It. There is hardly any such thing
a. making q perfect shot. In base ball
. player catches q ball or he 'muffs"
It. but in golf there Is hardly stroke a
man makes that he might not have
made II better All this means that II
has the essential qualifications Of q
sport Just as billiards has. 1t beats one
and keeps the interest aroused.
In Scotland and some parts of Eng
land there are public golf links that any
one may play on for small fee. Here
every afternoon hundreds Of players
may be seen going over the course with
an enthusiasm that is almost incom-
prehensible to one that has never
played the game and tasted its fascina-
tion. 80 played 1t Is not an expensive
game. The best players use but few
clubs. and the cost Of the outfit abso-
lutely necessary IL less than SO now In
this country. and is sure to be cheaper.

WHEELING CHAT.

It seems that the bicycle Logging is
to be altogether discarded by women
and. with the heavy shoes. 10 to be
rclegated to the garret In their place
has come the stockings and low riding
shoe In some parts Of the country the
golf stockings are employed, by way
Of what one facetious wheelman
called q compromise. But with the
advent OF the warmer weather the
heavy golf staockings are being cast
aside. The necessity Of . covering such
as the logging does not exist. the au-
thorities say. 1t Is predicted that
stockings and low shoes will be adopted
generally before the present season
Is ended.
A wheelman out West, held up his
hands while a highwayman went
through his pockets and took all the
cash he had about him. while rider In
New York turned his ammonia syringe
in a robbers face, and, grabbing the
latter's pistol, and wheel. carried off the
spoilman's spoil. There are different
ways Of doing things in different parts
of the country.
The still unsatisfied longing for bicy-
cles was strikingly illustrated In Pres
que Isle, Me-. the other day. A man ad-
vertised in the local papers to exchange
a bicycle for buggy. When he arose
the next morning he found the whole
door yard flled with vehicles of all
kinds. from doctors gigs to farm wag-
ons, brought there by the prospect Of
securing a bike.
There is a new class Of racing man
or rather boy who will bother the old
timers this year. He Is the schoolboy
rider, the lad who began to ride at
IA and Is now II or 49, There IL a lot
Of him in Scranton. He tacks on to the
hind wheel of the best Of them and they
cannot shake him. He began to ride
esarly. His muscles have only con-
formed to the necessities Of the bicycle.
He Is physically a better cyclist than
than the man who began when he was
more than 20. Riding 10 to him more
natural than walking. Look out for
him at the amateur meets.
