What the Newspapers Are Saying
About "SubStitute @ L F."

THE new game has received an enthusiastic welcome. Coli.
- ers, who are being driven indoors by the unfavorsblo
weather, as well as women who entertain, have been
quick to see the fascinating possibilities o. Substitute GOLF"
Here are some comments of the society and sporting edi
tors of various newspapers
The TRIBUNE says:
" Substitute Golf will provide something more than entertain
ment, on cold Winter nights, when the links are covered with snow.
1t will teach beginners all about the game, except the actual use
of the clubs; and will make, perhaps, many converts to the royal
and ancient game"
The EVENING MAIL says:
e Substitute Golf played indoors is the latest fad, attracting
the attention of those upon whom falls the task of providing enter
tainment for friends on Winter evenings. The game is one of the
big novelties of the season, and by means of it this popular out
door sport is arranged to be made interesting for indoor playing
on Winter evenings"
The EVENING GLOBE says:
The game craze Of the year has arrived
&" Substitute Golf is the new society fad.
Are you a golf fend| The game is here to keep you happy
all year round. If it rains or SHOWS, or blows, you make your golf
date at your own library table, and you can make great drives or
foozle.' according to your luck, just the same rs if you were out on
the links.
Substitute Golf captivates golfers at once, and they ar get
ting busy with the game rs fast as they can learn about it.
But the new game has a far wider field. Society is taking it up.
The woman who is looking for a new and delightful source of enter
tainment for a evening party finds in Substitute Golf exactly what
she most delights in"
The AMERICAN says:
Golf has long been admitted to be the most interesting and
most sociable Of outdoor games, and many attempts have been made
to introduce its features into a game for use indoors. The latest
game. Substitute Golf the invention of an expert golfer, is making
hit"
The PRESS says:
for a short time it has already been received with such approval that
it is likely to exceed even the popularity that was once possessed
by Ping Pong. Women who seek means with which TO entertain
their guests during the coming season will be delighted with its re-
markabe possibilities
The WORLD says:
Substitute Golf is a new and fascinating indoor pastime. 1t
Is a parIor golf game played with scientific substitutes for clubs,
and is destined II obe the fad of .ciety parties, where It's being heartily
endorsed. The game is easily learned, and promises to be oe Of
themost satisfying and delightful indoor amusements ever invented
