OLDEST GOLF ASSOCIATION
= AT WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS
tCharles Rrooks smith,

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July H.
The annual state golf tournament In
Parkersburg this week recalls the
fact, not widely known. that in West
Virginia at White Sulphur Springs
the first golf course In the United
States was laid ont thirty-two years
ago. The prestige of being the old.
est golf association In the country
has been claimed by the St. Andrews
club of Yonkers, but II is now known,
On undeniablc authority that the
links at White Sulphur antedate the
other, course by several years.
Greenbrier county was originally
settled by many Scotch and Scotch
Irish. Later in the sixties and seven
1 ties. n small cotcrie of Scotchmcn and
Englishmen with varied interests on
this,side Of the water formed n little
colony of their own near White Sui
phur Springs and this was the be.
Thinning of the popularity of the now
famous resorts.
One OF the visiting Englishmcn
was George Grant, an enthusiastic
golfer. and when lie looked upon Oak
hurst the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Rus
sell Montague, he could not help ex-
pressing his belief that here was IN
IDEAL course. Here In the then un-
developed hills of West Virginia, ma
ture had reproduced typically
Scotch setting for the 'cannie" game.
Mr. Montague was soon rs enthu-
siastic rs his English friend, and
placed the grounds and unlimited
means at Mr.. Grants disposal with
5the result that after period of two
years the work was finished and Mr..
Montague initiated into the delight
iful mysteries Of the, game.
A club was formed. which despite
its Informal nature, and its small
membership of six. took the game
very seriously indeed. Regular med
al plays were a feature, and for six
successive Christmas. days the play
ers met in what might be termed the
first series of annual tournaments
ever held in the United States. The
players were Handicapped and scores
were kept from year to year for clas-
sification and record.
There were nine holes in the course
which covered 1900 yards. 1t is In
.teresting to note the difference in
conditions for golf since those days
.ir 1882, when five Britishers and one
American represented the total num-
Der OF golfers and the present day
when the number of players runs into
the Thousands. In those days the
PLAYERS who followed a big marble

By Rio Janeiro Papers

RIO JANEIRO, April N.-Editorial
comment in the Rio Janeiro news
papers on the Mexican situation leans
strongly toward the United States. o.
PsiZ. in the course of an evidently in
spred article. expresses faith in the
declaration of President Wilson that
the action taken by the United States
Government is against Huerta alone,
and adds that the republics of South
America would not be justified in per-
mitting themselves 10 be placed in a
purely passive position, as recent events
were a source of grave danger to the
good relations which must be main
tained with the United States.
The paper declines to believe that
the United States is pursuing a polit-
ical conquest, but sought in the Incl
dent at Tampico the opportunity to
contribute only to the re-establish-
nent Of order in Mexico. without any
desire to place itself under suspicion OF
the rest OF America.
If such is the intention of the United
states adds the paper, and II this
intention is put into practice honestly
and disinterestedly. no one will decline
TO accord that country gratitude, nor
will civilization withhold its homage" "

SECRET OPPOSITION
TO HUERTA ARISING
Undercurrent, Turning Against
Dictator, May Aid Peace
Proposals.
Bv WILLIAM c. SHEPHERD.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, April 27.-All
reports received here today indicate
that, for the present, conditions have
improved in Mexico City and the
danger of Americans being attacked
and murdered has abated. This does
not mean that Americans are free
from insults or that they may not be
molested, however. Another. toss OF
the dice might be against foreigners
in the capital.
In addition to the pacific influence,
the submission of the mediation plans
probably exercised in Mexico City,
there is a strong undercurrent of OPP
position to the dictator in the capital,
which. refugees arriving here. declare
left.
There are hundreds of Mexicans in
the capital who are still against
Huerta. OF course. the opposition is
not shown openly, but the existence
OF this anti-government faction has
been indicated in many ways.
The most recent was the secret dis
tribution of a circular warning Mex
leans against being drawn to Huerta's $
support by the anti-American dem
onstrstions, and pointing out that
the United States was warning on the
dictator and not upon the Mexican
people.
This circular read:
encouraging the mobs in hopes of
bringing Mexicans under his banner.
He is trying to make them believe he is
the fatherland and that the United
States is fighting Mexico. Such is not
the case. The United States is not
fighting Mexico and Mexicans, but
Huerta. Huerta has seized our gov
ernment and does not represent Mex
iCo"
II was reported here today that a
dozen merchants of TampAco had sent
a message to Rear Admiral Fletcher
urging that he LAND troops at that
port With the rebels approaching the
town. il is feared that, should they be
victorious. all stores and homes will be
sacked.
Others in the city would resent the
landing of marines. In many of the
churches in Mexico yesterday, prayers
that the American fleet would be de-
stroyed, were said
