homeward bound Brock was passing
a drinking resort, boots and the
sight of a struggling figure attracted
his attention
a ragged wretched looking man
was battling off swarm of rough tor
mentors. They had pinned a card to
his coat with Kick me! scrawled
upon it. had thrown the cap of the
poor fellow into a watering trough
and had bundled him about until he
was half frantic, tearing his thin,
threadbare clothing and tripping him
over into the mud of the street.
In a flash Brock recognized him
as Limpy Ted half-witted fellow
whose father had been employed at
the plant and had met with a fatal
accident in its service. The company
had given his widow a niggardly in
demnity When ii was used up she
demanded that the company give her
son work This they did, but Limpy's
erratic spirit could not come under
the working system and they were
forced TO discharge him After that
Limpy hung around the works, the
butt Of the workmeu. Some idle LOT

frenzied Limpy You don't know

from his tormentors, The crowd drew
back abashed for they respected
Brock who soothingly led Limpy away
from the scene and arranged his dis
ordered attire. bought him new cap
at the nearest store, and gave him a
little change
His extreme kindness broke down
all the resentment in Limpys nature
His mood had changed and he was
sobhing out his gratitude
You re a good friend he said

away.

GOLF GAME WAY
BACK IN | 795
But It's Presidents Sport
Now, Writes Expert
Chick Evans.
By "Chick" Evans.


CINCE President Wilson and eX-
y President Taft are both golfers,
the old sport of Kings has been
rechristened in America, where it is
now periodically known as the sport
Of Presidents And a good sport it is
for them, too, entirely devoid Of the
features that frequently distinguish
games intended for the youthful I'M
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
ness Of pioneering it has little need Of
any outdoor sport besides the primi-
tive pastilnes 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,
near Charleston, in 1895. Newspapers
of that period record facts concerning
golf club and its secretary. Unfor-
tunately no account has been found of
I-,,4 4 Co, 80. n az.
rious 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 a sport
that was not revived until SO many
years had passed, and came back by
way of the North
Tom Bendelow, who is living en-
cyclopedia Of all recently made
golf history. assures me that
the first actual game of golf
played intAmerica was by the apple
tree gang" at Yunkers, n. Y. The
members of this gang were discovered
knocking ball around in a lot, and d
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. Ono OF
the earliest courses was at SHINE
, cock Hills in 1884, and year pre-
vious one had been laid out at New
| port. Massachusetts golf came a lit
| tie later
Golf has become truly a national
sport; it is more than sport for
! Presidents. 1t is an excellent game
for every American citizen.
