AMAZING IS VOGUE or GOLF
Many Americans Now Play Game Un.
known to Them Twenty-Five
Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago there was as
much golf played in the United States
as there is baseball played in the CEN
tral villages of the Fiji islands. Which
is to say, practically none whatsoever,
writes Grantland Rice in the New York
Tribune.
Yet facing 1917 there are 1920 golf
courses, covering more than 100000
acres, inhabited by something like 9OO,-
600 players of both sexes, from twelve
to eighty years of age. In the broad
span of a sport no one can recall such
a development as this in so short a
time.
The change from 1890 to 1917 is al
most beyond belief. No one knows
earlier conditions better than Jack
Clark, the well-knOwn professional at
the Madison Country club, Madison,
Conn.
"Tll never forget" he says, "when 1
brought my clubs from Scotland
through the custom house in Boston
back in May, 1890. The custom house
officer first thought they were a pc
culiar brand of walking stick. He in
sisted they could be nothing else, and
my Scotch brOgue was too much to
make him understand. My brother
Bob and laid out a six-hole course at
West MedfOrd, Mass, and when we
started playing the entire community
laughed at us. The kids in the next
field were playing baseball, and they
thought we were crazy. But few of
them consented to try it out, and i'm
mediately took up the game when they
found it so much harder than it looked.
"The trouble in the early days" con-
tinued Clark, ''was lOaning golf balls
and clubs. When we lost what few balls
we had, we had to send back to Scot
land for more, and wait six weeks, as
we couldn't buy any over here. I'll
never forget when 1 walked into a big
sporting goods store in Boston in 1911.
l told the salesman 1 wanted a golf
club. I know what you want he said,
and soon returned with a shinny stick.
You call it golf over there he told
me, but we call it shiny over here.
And it was all could do to make him
understand the two games were not the
same"

The most important and costly depart

bill was up the week before and failed

GOOD SPELLING AT DOVER

Contestants Did so Well the Prize
Winner Gould not be Selected
Interest in spelling was demonstra-
ted at Dover on Friday when a state
spelling contest took place in the pub
lie high school building in which ff-
teen were registered, five from each of
the three counties in Delaware. So
keen was the contest and so accurately
were the words spelled that the one
hundred words agreed upon-supposed
to be sufficient to test the ability of
the contestants-had to be supple
mented by another one hundred words.
In the first set of words three of the
contestants failed to spell all; with the
second set, in which the twelve took
part, eight were perfect and the judges
were unable to make the awards. The
first prize of $40 gold piece and the
second of d $40 gold piece are being
held until the county superintendents
and judges of the contest confer as to
date and whatever plans deemed best
to finish the spelling contest.

The act giving Smyrna the right to
barrow $685. 900 to improve it's streets
has passed both house of the LegisIa-
ture and no doubt will be signed by
Governor Townsend. Let US hope that
as soon az the bill is approved and be-
comes law that Smyrna Town Coun-
Gil will get busy and give us a bricked
or some permanent roadbed on Com
merce street and all the other streets
not mecadamed to be thus improved.
We hear some Councilmen express the
opinion that since material is high it
will be better to resurface Commerce
street and wait until material takes a
drop. This it would seem to be a sheer
waste. Material may even 60 higher.
1t may be years before brick blocks
will be as cheap as when Main street
was laid, if it is ever as cheap. WHY
not go ahead and bond the town and
give us these improvements. Let the
future generations bear their share of
the expense. There is no use waiting.
Let us have good streets all over town.
