Does it take an Ice sharp to play on a
curling rink?
While the six Scotch curling rlnks were
battling for the John l.. Kennedy cup ai
Miller park New Years day an argu-
ment based on that question arose among
q little knot of American eetators.
After several minutes of discussion II
was unanimously agreed that the only
qualification to be curler was to be a
Scotchman.
Every last man on the six rinks which
played at Miller park is Scotch. First ia
attract attention were Charley johnson,
Bill Clark and Tom Leuehers. johnson
IL golf professional at the Happy Hollow
Clark occupies the same position at the
Field club and Leuchers is an assistant
professional Thus It is learned a Scotch
golfer can be curler.
Then attention Is drawn TO J. w. Muir
Howard Horne. W. ]. His op. Peter A.ow-
den. w. r. Gum. Bob Gait. Bob Melvin
and the others. all Scotch soccer fiends.
Thus a Scotch soccer player can be a
curler.
But from the lineups Of the rinks II
must be Scotch golfer and a Scotch
soccer player, for in those lineups no
English golfers nor English soccer play
ers are found So while golf and soccer
may be called Scotch games, the real
Scotch game is curling and II the above
evidence won't convince you go out "a
Miller park some day and hear them
call 'soop her up and shes on the
pat lid" and that was a Draw stane-'
and "a haun laid doom yin"
