Start With the Brassie.

There is now no question OF golf's being
a recognized institution. 1t is true that
many have taken it up as fad, and it is
equally true that they have as quickly
dropped it after the novelty of the di-
version ceased to exist. In the beginning
of the golf craze the game was used as an
excuse for bizarre effects in dressing.
both in masculine and feminine attire.
The day of the faddists in golf, how
ever, has passed. The majority of those
who play it today do so for the mere love
of the game. They see in it the oppor-
tunity for healthy exercise in which there
cannot possibly be danger Of physical
strain. In addition the royal game OF
golf'' calls for a nicely Of skill sufficient
to bring Into activity all the strategical
prcwess Of the player.
a golf ball is like David Haru-n's horse,
in that woman can drive it as well as
man. Both sexes, the young and old
from every walk OF life are devotees of
the game. AS an example OF this Justice

he thought that the golf craze is on the
wane in the United States, Jamie dis
gustedly replied:
They are not so keen for 1t as once
they were, for they are getting to like
their ping-pong in preference to the fresh
air and exercise on the green's"
Jamie agrees with the golf authorities
in saying that team of crack Americans
would stand no show of winning against
the best players abroad. He says that
he could pick twenty players from the
best of those in the United States to send
abroad with assurance of their being able
to put up a creditable game. but he de-
ciares that there would he no hope of
their winning. Ten years careful prac-
tice for the American champions is his
prescription for successful competition
against the British crack. The other
Scotch professionals now teaching the
game in Washington are Johnny fuckers
Of the Dumbarton; Donald Bail. of the

voted to the game out OF pure love Of
the satisfaction OF watching a long and

which make golf attractive.

announcement for the early summer
matches to be played on the Is. is. and II

Scotland is the birthplace OF golf. Il
has been introduced into England, ireland
France, India, AID America with almost
unvarying success, but Scotland must be
honored as the mother of the game.
Its origin dates back into the once
upon a. time" days of the Scottish king
dom. 4 club and ball game has always
been native TO Scotland, whether on grass,
ice, road, or sand. AS early as the mid
die OF the fifteenth century the game Of
golf had assumed its modern form.
So enthusiastically was the game taken
up by the people OF Scotland that the King
was afraid that its practice might inter-
fere with the more useful accomplish
ments of archery.
Statutes were passed prohibiting the
playing of it. Ministers tried TO put it
down, but ii survived. and is now boom
ing over the civilized world.
When royalty gave its sanction TO the
game in the person of King Charles the
First. the popularity of the sport was as
sured. The faddists we're prominent in
the game OF golf then. but. as today, it
survived to the true devotees.

A MONG the really great names
~ Of the gentlemen who gave to
1 \ the old South its reputation
and renown. the Hamptons. Of
Hampton. are easily among the first. He
who died the other day was the eighth Of
the name. There is always a Wade Hamp-
ton, and as long as the breed endures
there will be one. They came to this
country about 1710, and for time lived
in Virginia. Just anterior TO the Revolu-
fionary War, or, to be more accurate. in
the early part OF the eighteenth century,
the Wade Hampton of that date removed
10 South Carolina, carrying with him
about 500 slaves. He saw then that the
soil of Virginia was being exhausted by
successive and continuous crops Of to-
bacco.
He also perceived that cotton and rice
were valuable agricultural products. and
that cotton culture. then in its infancy,
was bound TO be the most profitable OF all
Southern crops. The world had worn linen
as It's underwear until then. But linen
had its disadvantages, while cotton was
the ideal fabric for the lighter clothing,
particuiarly that of womanly garments.
Three Wade Hamptons.
So the third Wade Hampton of Ameri-

if the soil suited IT, rice.
little experimentation showed ii was
the ideal crop to be grown with slave la
bor. The Orient had long recognized rice
as one of its great food staples. Warren
Hastings first called the attention OF the
English-speaking countries of Europe and
America to its value as commercial
crop.
III you can grow 1t successfully in your
country" he wrote Sir William Ferguson,
lieutenant governor OF the colony com
nosed of Georgia and the two Carolinas.
..vou will have added TO your food supply
one of the best and cheapest cereals OF
the world"
He was a true prophet In both respects.
But. though old Col. Wade Hampton the
generals father. realized all this. his
shrewd. far-seeing mind said that the
great source OF the South's wealth must
always be its crop OF cotton.
He also perceived that the true home of
the cotton plant was from the twenty

and others are in contemplation. Pro-
fessional champions are frequent visitors
to the local links, and they speak most
highly OF the form displayed by the Wash
ington amateurs.
Golf is the principal diversion at the
Columbia Club, whose grounds are far
out on Seventh Street, at the Dumbarton
Club. at Thirty-ffth and NJ Streets; the
Nyer; while at the Chevy Chase Club,
whose pretty little clubhouse is Just be-
yond Chevy Chase Circle. golf shares the
attention of the members with the pleas
ures of the chase.
Huntsmen and golfers rule the Chevy
Chase Club. The hunting season. how
ever. is now in its last days. so that
henceforth golf will be king The Chevy
Chase greens, of which Mr.. Oden Horst
man is captain. perhaps offer the best op-
portunity for scientific golf. The course is
laid out over beautifully rolling country,
and a round OF the eighteen holes is
pleasure very dear to the golf enthusiast
of the Capital.
Members say that Mr.. George C. Laf-
ferty is the most expert golfer of the
club, and that gentleman Is usually to be
found in the ranks at most of the local
tournaments.
A Roster of Society.
The membership list of the Chevy Chase
Club is virtually a roster of society

member. the exclusive resident set is well
represented on the rolls. and the out-of-

OF course his election TO the United
States Senate was part OF the program,
and the hope of the ultraists in South
Carolina was lost. for General Hampton
was declared duly elected by an ultra
Republican majority OF the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, and
that closed the contest.
Many Republican Friends.
General Hampton, always n man of the
most charming and high bred manner,
soon made friends of the most stalwart of
the Republican leaders. Senator carpen-
ter of Wisconsin was one OF his closest
and warmest friends. Hampton was a
very handsome man physically, and he
and Senator Conkling of New York were
the two most powerful men physically
ever in the United States Senate.
