HALTONS AND BROWNS IN
PATTERSON GOLF. MEET
Home Players Prove Their Superiority in Eighth Annual
Pater ct Filius Match-Eighteen Pairs
Entered in Tournament
By WILLIAM II. EVANS

TNIlOMAS II. HALTON, chairman of
i the green committee of the White
marsh Valley Country club. made up his
mind three years ago that he and his
son Tom, one of the best Of our Junior
players. were going to win the Pater ct
Filius golf tournament and ne proceeded
to get busy then and there. Their first
effort was a tie for the honor, but in
the play off they LOST. Last year they
not only made the low net of "A but the
low gross of SO. Yesterday. in order to
keep their record straight they tied for
the low net with 20 and their gross score
of IS was the lowest recorded. Some
time soon they will play off the tie with
r L. Brown and his son. r. II. They
had gross score of 102, but hand-
cap of IS gave them a net score of ~.
Father Donahuc Delighted
Third on the list was Gil Donahue of
the same club and lie and his son Bill
had a net score of 81 Gil is some play
er but this is virtually the first APP
pearanCe of his son in competitive golf
and as a result Gil was a very proud
father last night.

showing on a hay wagon which ran over
the boys foot the day before. The
youngster was full of grit and stuck it
out until the eighteenth hole, but the
boy was pretty tired when he got
through.
George w. Statze!l president of the
Aronimink Country Club, and his son
Harlan, were among the faVorites, but
things We're not breaking well for them.
Harlan. who is one of the longest hit
ters of golf balls in the city and who has
been playing Aronimink in the low
eighties for some weeks. could not get
his tee shots going right and his father
was having trouble at the start with his
short game. ON the green's they played
like a well-oled machine. 1t was not
until the fifteenth that they got their
shots working well and then it was too

Likes Iron Clubs

The set of clubs I use represents an
accumulation of more than ten years
of golf and whenever one Of the clubs
goes the way of all flesh it makes very
perceptible difference in my, game. I
have always liked to play with iron
clubs and | remember once when
dropped into a sporting goods store with
friend who wanted to buy some clubs
| casually picked up a mashie with no
intention whatever of buying it. I
| made a couple of swings with it, tested
it for feel and balance and / instnc-
lively knew that that club was built
| for me. Afterwards it served me well
| on many a golf course. My confidence
| in il was without limit and because of
my confidence it was what would call
my easiest club.
About the simplest shot in the game
| of golf is the putt, but ] don't mean to
| imply for a minutes that II is simple
| thing to be a good putter, and my own
difficulty with the putter in previous
years are too we'll known for me to ever
attempt to say that putting is simple
| A review of the career of great golfers
| shows that there has been more of a
| scarcity of good putters than experts
| in any other branch in the game. I
| think, therefore. 1t Is safe TO say that
| the putter is the hardest club to play.
| If a player uses a Schenectady putter,
| with its center shaft coming directly be-
| hind the ball. It seems to make putting.
| at least in theory, the easiest in shots,
| but in practice putting. calls for a par
| ticular combination of mental and mus
cular qualities. Or, perhaps ] better
describe it as muscular coordination
| that is given to few men.

Another Hard Shot


Another of the real hard shots, it
was agreed at our tanning bee, is full
iron to the pin. There are very few
players who execute this shot better
than any other. One reason for this Is
that the element of control enters into
the full iron shots probably more than
into any others. Moreover a golf course
is usually so laid out that If such a
shot Is played too hard or too easy a
trapped ball results. Nearly every one
will agree that the easiest shot In the
golfers bag is the drive. Accuracy is
not so important. and with the import
ance of that element reduced greater
freedom and confidence is put into the
stroke, and the player can usually hit
the ball about as hard as he likes.
Summarizing our tanning bee, 1t was
agreed that the hardest club was di-
vided about $3.50 between the putter
and a full iron to the pin, while the
easiest is the driver.

changed this to l cent on each cents

Under the rates as agreed upon by
the Senate committee a 15-cent admis-
sion would pay a tax Of 8 cents in
stead Of as under the House rate,
while Decent ticket would pay 4

1t is believed by the committee that
there will be no loss OF revenue under
the new rates. as the tendency will be
to increase the number of admissions

Lower Liquor Ta1es-
The liquor taxes were also lowered
by the committee in accordance with
the same opinion that the amount of
revenue derived by the government
will be slightly more under lower
rates The House bill imposed a taS
of IS a gallon upon all distilled spirits
withdrawn from bond for sale; the
Senate reduced this tax to $40 a gall

upon the same liquor was reduced
from 500 a gallon to 81 a gallon. upon

poses: liquors intended for beverages
will pay a floor tax of $50 a gallon
instead of $3.50, as fixed by the House.

proved
The section permitting the exporta-
tion of distilled liquors was amended
so that expectations may be made to

TRANSLATION.

OF Communication from Ger
man government to the
President Of the United
States, as transmitted by the
Charge d'Affaires al. of
Switzerland, on October 6,
1918.
The German government re-
quests the President of the
United States of America to
take steps for the restoration
of peace, to notify all belliger-
ents of this request, and to in
vite them to delegate plenipo-
tentiaries for the purpose of
taking up negotiations. The
German government accepts,
as a basis for the peace ne
gotiations, the program laid
down by the President of the
United States in his message
to Congress of January s,
1915, and in his subsequent
pronouncements, particularly
in his address of September
az, 1915. In order to avoid
further bloodshed the Ger
man government requests to
bring about the immediate
conclusion of a general arnis-
tice on land, on water and in
the air.
