Kind Words for Caddies.
.rnn the Now York TribIrne


Aside from Dir Claire Briggs of
Wyk2gyl and the back page. no living
golfer has been known to utter a kind
word for the caddy. Sporting writers
will grow quite eloquent in upholding
piness of an umpire. That other nom
combatant. the caddy. is regarded as
fair game for every human being with
a crouch. His is the fault for all his
masters blunders. If all the lost balls
for which he has been unjuStly blamed
by wild-driving golfers were arranged
in row they would reach twice around
every go f course in America and fill
every nineteenth hole to the ceiling.
So now it comes almost as a shock to
learn that the Sleepy Hollow Country
Club is not only speaking kindly to its
caddies. but is organizing them Boy
Scouts and is generally proposing to
treat them as useful and estimable
citizens. a scoutmastef has been re-
tanned to cooperate with the caddie
master, regular Boy Scout uniforms are
to be worn and the usual training in
signaling, woodcraft and games is to
be given.
This is great change from the usual
system of caging a crowd of husky
one by one as business demands.
Whether business reasons lay behind
the Sleepy Hollow venture does not ap-
pear. Nor does the motive matter.
There is question that discipline
Will be one by-product of such train
ing and the policy that best develops
the boy will undoubtedly best serve
the golfers. What are you doing at
your club?
