j. 6. FIRST SAW
GOLF CAME WAY
BACK IN | 70 8
But It's a Presidents Sport
Now, Writes Expert
Chick Evans.

~ INCE President Wilson and ex-
y President Taft are both golfers,
the old sport of Kings has been
rechristened in America, where it is
row periodically known as the sport
of Presidents. And good sport it is
for them, too, entirely devoid of the
features that frequently distinguish
games intended for the youthful UNI
dergraduates, for even Washington
could have played it without any loss
Of the dignity for which he was
famous
Golfers feel sorry for our early
Presidents, but when country is
busily engaged in the sporting bust
LESS of pioneering it has little need of
any outdoor sport besides the print
tive pastimes of hunting and fishing.
Our present day Presidents, how
ever, who are held responsible for
every untoward happening in the
country, from the price of potatoes to
foreign relations. surely have great
need of a wholesome, outdoor game
that for eighteen happy holes permits
forgetfulness of the cares of Office.
Historians, whose light reading con
sists of old newspapers hidden away
in Libraries, tell us that beyond pos
sibility of doubt golf was first played
in this country in South Carolina,
hear Charleston, in 1895. Newspapers
of that period record facts concerning
a golf club and its secretary, Unfor-
tunately no account has been found of
games played, but | confess to a Gu
riCus interest in those Southern gen.
tlemen who were members of the first
club of which we have record In
America. | should like to know what
was the cause of the death of sport
that was not revived until so many
years had passed, and came back by
way of the North
Tom Bendelow, who is a living en-
cyclopedia of all recently made
golf history assures me that
the first actual game of golf
played in America was by the apple
tree gang at Yonkers, n. Y. The
members of this gang were discovered
knocking a ball around in lot, and a
passing policeman attempted TO ar
rest them, but as they were not noisy
or offending anyone, he finally con-
cluded to leave them undisturbed.
Tom believes that the credit for the
first golf organization should be given
to the late Judge Horace Russell and
John Perish, of New York. One OF
the earliest courses was at SHINE
cock Hills in 1884, and a year pre-
vious one had been laid out at New
port Massachusetts golf came lit
tie later.
Golf has become truly a national
sport; it is more than a sport for
Presidents. 1t is an excellent game
for every American citizen.
