feet the golfing costume and run to bizarre
effects In stockings. Today there are links
in Los Angeles, Santa Monica two), Re-
dondo. Avalon. Terminal island, Riverside,
Pasadena and Coronado. The converts to
the game are numbered by the hundreds
and, once engaged, they find its charms ir-
resistible. The progress that many of the
tyros in the game have shown is also
amazing, and in very short time South
ern California will have golfers to cope with
any that may come along from ST. An

There are few heresies about the game
as played hereabouts that the Scotchman
would denounce in warm terms. Some of
the clubs have local laws that are altogeth-
er too loose. For instance, at Redondo, pro-
vided your lie is in the course, you are per-
mitted, If you find 1t convenient, to pick the
ball up and place it in better lie behind
its former resting place. In golf legfti-
mate the player loses a stroke whenever
he touches the ball, and with this penalty
the player is bound to drop the ball blind
ly over his shoulder. II is only resorted to
In absolutely unplayable places. Again,
the difficulty of providing the proper quail

troduced noXious innovation in the shape
of artificial tees, made of rubber hose.
When you have driven off, instead of keep
ing your eyes on the bah until you come up
to 1t again, your attention is diverted to that
rubber-neckng piece of hose. 1t is a
damnable distraction to the game and
ought to be eXpurgated.

day was the last, in which Klatawah, the
sensational California stallion, got away
with the first two miles, but went up in the
third and trailed the big field in. He spoiled
three scores in the fourth, and there were
indications that he would never get away
but finally he got the proper gait and
clung to it. From the last position in
