fans hoisted Rowland to their shoulders
and carried him into the street. Traffic
was blocked for twenty minutes while the
crowd sought to shake hands with the
players.
with the exception of Eddie Collins, Mel
Wolfgang, Urban Faber and John Collins,
every member of the club was in the party.

series. Twenty-Five players will divide the
spoils, each receiving S366932. Trainer

GOLFERS BELIEVE THAT PUTTING
GREENS ARE BECO OMING TOOLARCE
AND TENDENCY NEEDS CHECKING
Big Greens Are Too Costly in Upkeep, but Others
Maintain Larger Grass Spaces Help
Game of Golf

rs THE day Of the big putting green soon
| to pass? This question is suggested by
the growing feeling among golfers that in
many cases the enlarging Of greens has
been carried beyond the limits Of reason,
extending away from the hole to a distance
that ought really to be sacred TO the ap-
preaching iron.
Such huge affair Is the last at Apa-
wants, which stretches away like a small
ocean of green. II has got so in some
cases that an approach pitch can hardly
miss the green, so extensive is IT, all of
which makes the approach more of a Joke
than 1t ought to- be-
There is growing up i'm the minds Of
some players of considerable influence in
the world of golf that the putting green
Is not being restricted to It's proper sphere
and function, and that II is being allowed
10 encroach upon a domain not legitimately
It's own-namely, the realm of the approach
Some fear that if the mania for large
greens is not checked the two-shot holes
will eventually be resolved into one-shotters
Ia drive and a long putt.
OVERRIDING a Good Thing
This may be ironical to a large extent
. hut there Is something in it's suggestiveness
that ought TO make the committees of clubs
consider whether there is not such a thing
ms OVERRIDING a good thing. In the original
Intention of golf architects the putt was
the shot at the very close of the game, rep
resenting the play at the hole.
Now the green has been throwing out its
emerald tentacles and gradually appropri-
: ating to itself more and more of the ground
that formerly belonged TO the approach
shot, whether with the brasse or iron from
a great distance or with the mashie from
q" a short distance. In this way the purpose
: and object of the green are being lost sight
of, and It has assumed role of Importance
quite out of keeping with the intention back
Of its creation in the early days of the
snort. DevereauX Emmet, of Garden City,
the well-known course architect sees the
. drift of things and raises his voice in warn
ing. against it, as follows:
Big Greens Too Expensive
IAN extravagant item of the present day
that are constructed. In my opinion, there
= Ia too much putting in the game. In a par
score half the strokes are puts My idea
Is to have small green's surrounded by un-
dulating fair greens. where an iron or a
mashe has to be used in approach putting

handicapped by the lack of material With
only a few more than two elevens out for

out by injuries, and now when the Red and

Another strong argument In favor of

big and celebrated club adopts new plar
in architecture OF the links: Immediately
other golf course makers and re-arrangers
try to follow in the same line without eX'
ercsing any individuality The Conse

break away from old methods. Against this
Mr.. Emmett also protests in this vigorous
fashion:
Following Stereotype Models
"a careful examination of many gol
courses lately constructed leads me to think
that some golf links architects lay ou
links without any regard to cost They
have certain stereotype holes in their minds
and they are likely to make a hollow and
where there is a hollow they may make

There is no question about the Characte
of the results, the holes are all right. Nol
cannot go wrong with a Redan hole or al
Alps hole, and If money were easier fol
everybody to come by, It would be all right
As things really are in this American de
mocracy, it seems to me to be all wrong.
There is no sense in 1t or justification
for It, except possibly in the case of clubs
largely composed of wealthy men. With al
