The two American Macs" John ].
McDermott and Tom Mcnamara, two
of our very best golfers and both
champions, kind of surprised us by
their overthrow at the hands of two
Frenchmen In the big international
event over in France. Louis Teller
and Armand Massey, playing as a
team, beat McDermott and McNa-
mara up and to play. This defeat
comes as a surprise because of the
fact that McDermott did so well in
the worlds championship in Eng
land and Mcnamara didn't do so
poorly AS a reason for their defeat
it Is said that the Americans were
severely handicapped through lack of
practise over a course that is difficult
in the extreme. We are glad the
course is at fault, yet we are inclined
to give the Frenchmen full credit for
f. their tnexnected victory

Bombardier Wells has found some
body he can beat, and having beaten
somebody, it behooves all the sport
| ing writer's in this country to start
on boosting campaign on behalf of
Wells and implore the club promoters
to put the Englishman on for bout
with some good man, Just to give
him show" For man of his abil-
ity, Wells was given too much atten-
ton during his stay in this country.
He stopped like a schoolboy in his
| fight with AL PalZer, he just did out
box Tom Kennedy and he took a con-
venient flop in his bout with Gunboat
|
by George S. Carpenter, the French
| gladiator, and now he will very likely
seek another match with Carpenter
! since he has beaten an unknown, by
name Paddy Maloney, of whom moth
ing, of course, is known. But Bonn
bardier may get another match with
Carpenter and he may even come
over here again looking for trouble.
And the promoters would put him on
because he would draw a big crowd.

The game of golf is a universal one
and yet l do not understand how it
is played Will you briefly describe
1t through your columns and greatly
oblige. H. A. M
Golf Is delightfully."- fascinating
game TOT those VINO play IL, out TOT
those who don't it is looked upon as
a rather Mandy PANTY sort of en-
deavor. To describe it would take
up too much space in the paper, and
the fact that you can buy an excel
lent book on golf for ten cents at any
of the sporting goods stores will per-
haps be all the information you de-
sire 1t is a grand game, and when
we have our public links at Wee

tins the ball with my driver and
performing the various evolutions
with niblick and mashie and brassie.
