GENERAL IMPRESSION BANQUET Fol
DIR. JEKYLL AND Mr.. HYDE HAD
NOTHING ON A LITTLE GOLF BALL
Antics of White Globule Compare With Those of
Stevensons Immortal-Lindsay Takes Fall
Out of Bartholomew

once upon a time-that's the way all
lies start-there was gentleman OF
fiction with a wabbly heel and a twisted,
turned-up mustache. He squinted when
he chuckied-that's the kind Of a guy he
was. His name was Doctor Jekyl- Hyde.
All the day he was a good mixer, per-
fectly agreeable and nice fellow-then
his name was Doc Jekyll But at night
he sneaked around and was just like
ban man in a cellar. Then he was called
Hyde. by those that knew.
A golf ball has the same kind OF a dual
personality. When II wants to II can be
the finest companion and helpmeet that
ever was. II can ride the ridges from
the rough and land the green. IL can
meander round the humps and drop with
'clup-clup" in the cup. It can bring
sunny heart-throbs to the gloomiest
golfer. But the other side of its person
ality is more wicked and more perverse
than even that Of the famous doctor.
For when a golf ball wants to Il can find
rest in sand like old cheese, can slip into
the only knothole in the smallest sap
ling. or drop into the only mud-ridden
pond on the links. Not only that, but II
gets into a place where the golfer may.
with great might, get the ball out, then
said ball is gifted like the acrodant lizard
of the opposed digits and long, bug
licking tongue - the chameleon - which
changes its color according to its sur
roundings so It can't be found. II golf
ball brings up under rock, 1t changes
to a rabid, rocky red. II 1t gets in the
rough, It takes on the verdancy Of the
grass. In fact about the best thing the
Doc JelSyll golf ball does is Hyde!
The much heralded match between
George Lindsay and lie Ray Bartholo-
new for the championship of the Aroni-
mink Club has at last been staged, and
in the face of the proclamations Of the
latter and the odds offered, Lindsay won,
and 2. The match attracted an enthu-
siastic gallery. the cheering being prac-
tlcally continuous, and the betting spirit
running very high. Bartholomew toppled
only after a very hard battle in which the
pace was very fast. Lindsay had
medal score of IS and Bartholomew was
right on his heels.
Now that vacation intervals are over,
and with the worlds series in the dis
card his masculine majesty has settled
back into the long and pricl1ly tentacles
of business cares and finds little, II any
time for golf. But 1t is veritable ''mardi
gras' golf carnival for the fair sex. Be-
tween the sunlit days and the call of the
links there is not much choice, and many
courses are putting on exciting Journeys
for the women players.
The finals for the Cricket Club cham
pionship were decided today after the
wedding out of one Of the best entry lists
any club has had.
Mrs. Clarence Van6erbeck, champion of
the United States, did not enter because
of the strain she has been under after
nearly six weeks of golf triumphs. Outside
of an occasional round, she has practi-
cally put her clubs away for the season
The players to qualify include, however,
some of the best players in the city and
the match play has been very exciting.
The low handicap score of rs turned
in by Miss May Bell, who is expected to
contend for national honors next season,
is a most remarkable score, particularly
when the number of short puts missed
is taken into consideration.
A small but enthusiastic gallery fol-
lowed the match between Miss May Bell
