AMATEUR GOLF
PLAYERS PASSING
Former Stars Little Heard
of Today. but Youngsters
Are Coming
NJ A NY DIS Ape A R
By CHARLES cCHICK EVANS, JR

pN thhhLES 'InlIh' EVANS. Jh
The reading golf public may wonder
sometimes when they will see new
names of leading players. Perhaps they
are tired of seeing the old names for
ever in the papers. My own for instance,
for while | am far from old | have
really been before the public a long
time.
Some of the stars have virtually dis
appeared from the big tournaments, and
this is notably true of Travis, the
Egans, Sickel. and others. Some of them
are yet quite young. but for various
reasons-there is one very pressing
reason now-it is the strong arm of
military necessity gradually drawing
in the players. according to their cassi-
fications. We can only hope that every
one may come back to his old position
in golf. but in the meantime there is
room for the newcomers. Every day
and week, we are hearing of some fine
golfer who has vanished into the great
unknown of war.
The best golf in this country began
with middle aged men and then reached
out gradually TO youthful champions
with each period the new champions
seemed younger Among the first of these
great young golfers was Chandler Egan,
and he was a wonderful golfer. Then a
SUN NbunStI tIpNu Ol 'nlCdBpdUS came
on, and they with better balls began
to make wonderful scores. The eighty
that had seemed magnificent at one
time hardly qualified later on. The in
terest was keen and new players SEEM
I ed all about.
But now the same players have held
the stage for a long time. and only
the other day | was asked if / knew OF
| any promising youngsters coming on. The
thought came specially home to me, be-
cause this year, far more than at any
other time, | have been able to enter
EOlf of the country. Right here I may
say that among the many good things
Red Cross has accomplished is the en-,
| cOuragemeut of the very youthful play.

How would you decide this point?
There were four of us playing at
Merton Sunday. We had had a very
even match in the morning and the af
ternoon match was even better DR.. Il.
B. Dewhurst, the former intercollegiate
tennis champion, and DR.. A. J. Wilson,
one of the Merton members who con-
tributed so generously to the two Red
Cross tournaments there, were playing
against Ducky knerr, the cartoonist, and
myself. The heavy rainstorm hit us
just as we were playing the ninth hole
and we sought shelter under the bridge
leading from the green to the tenth tee.
All four bags have places for UNI
brellas, and there was not an umbrella
in the crowd. And while the rain fell
in torrents we sat under the bridge
trying to dodge the raindrops that splat-
tered through the cracks We dis
cussed the folly of golfers not carrying
umbrellas. rules of golf, clubs and a lot
of other things. Dr. Dewhurst, for in
stance. has a club that is forty-eight
years old and the shaft and head are
as they came originally from Scotland.
Another club which he prizes is the
only one left of the first set of golf
clubs ever sent from this country to Aus
tralia. 1t is a jigger. Both are in
splendid condition, and the shafts are
without bend
The Woes of Doctor Wilson
Doctor Wilson told an amusing story
of a match he played in number of
years ago. Those were the days when
most of us played f1oaters. 1t was a
club match, and the other player was
using a snker. On the particular hole
! was safely home in two and the other
chap in five. But to my CONSERVATION
there was a pool of water, three or
four inches deep and two feet or more
in circumference, and in the centre of
1t was the cup. He was away and he
sent his sixth shot into the water
putted straight to the hole and 1t went
sailing over. He was still away, and
he pulled out a niblck and splashed his
seventh within few inches of that wa
ter-covered cup. | did not know how on
earth ] was going to get into that cup
for that fool ball was too light to sink
He holed out in eight and | still had
three puts to win and four to halve, and
you know | never did win or, halve the
hole. Twice the ball stopped dead over
the cup l waited for a miracle, but il
never happened, and ] lost the hole
Car you beat that for hard luck?'

OF labor statistics, which says that
the retail price OF food as a whole,
for November was one percent less

The tapestry is the only one in
