Mistakes at Merton
Getting out a few posters which are
sent to the thirty-odd golf clubs Is not
enough Out at Merton at the first
match IL 1t had not been for few
men the privilege of caddyng would
have gone for a few dollars per man.
and four of the best players in the coun-
try were playing, including the amateur
and omen champion and the two best pro-
fessional players in the country. Too
much was left to the last minute.
Out West they do things differently
They begin the drive weeks ahead OF the
day set for the tournament. The MEM
bers of the club pool their funds. and
instead of the caddy privilege selling
for n few dollars, big amounts are paid
After all, it Is simply an opportunity TOT
, those who realize the wonderful work
the Red Cross Is doing to give money TO
that very worthy cause.
Philadelphia has had three Red Cross
tournaments. and altogether something
less than $4,000 has been given to the
Red Cross. with the proper amount OF
organization this sum can be equaled
and beaten at the next tournament. but
II means work for those in charge or
the exhibition, and 1t means that the
members of the club will have to give
generously and enlist the pocketbooks
of others who believe In the greatest
mother in the world.
Added Attractions
There ought to be an attractive card
of the course which could be sold Tor
quarter. A group picture Of the eight
players would sell well. and there are
other things that could be done that
arc done at other courses where large
sums have been realized. AT other
courses there have been military naval
or marine bands to give martial tGuch
to the affair. and one Of the bands at
the navy ward could be obtained for this
day without trouble.
More than a thousand golfers from
| philadelphia are now in national service
| and the men who cannot fight would be
| glad to give to a fund that is helping
these golfers in service II they are
rroperly appealed to.
