GOLFER SA YERS GETS
BRITISH COMPLIMENT
Lady Astor lnuites Local Pro to Teach Her Cdne-Pne
Valley Not in Field for Tomneys-Nerion
Desires Lesley Cup
BY SANDY McNIBLJCK

cOME are born great, some achieve
rro,tness and some have greatness
thrust upon en-.
Will Shakespeare said something for
,bs book when be made this announce
,nout And evidently all three of the
above ideas go for George Sayers, golf
,,,or at Merton, when soft summer
trcczes blow, and right now busy teach =
Inc thc game of golf at Wanamaker' $.
The greatness of George Sayers has
.ridentiy done some travelling, for, all
tbe way from London he has received an
invitation to 20 over there and teach
golf for a month.
The sender of the invitation is none
other than Lady Astor, lone lady M. p.
That one of such world wide promi-
nence should send all the way to phila-
delphia for Il golf teacher in order that
she might learn the game is something.
I3ut that a Philadelphia pro should be
chosen. thousands Of miles from the
very home of the worlds greatest pros.
that is the compliment extraordinary,
and George Savers has surely arrived.
He takes his honors modestly.
Don't know whether / can make it
or not" the Merton pro said today.
"Got lot of work ahead and month
Is q lot of time to take out.
On British, Open
Savers said he had not given much
would also afford to mingle in the Brit :
sh open and other foreign events. Phil
ndelphans are pulling for him to ac-
cept as he is no mediocre player. and
Il is felt that he would give good ac-
count of himself over the courses he
played as a boy. IT would be some
thing to have local pro shine in the
great events abroad.
Which brings us to the invasion of
| the English pros aud the chance of
seeing them in action here.
A rumor that Pine Valley would make
bid was spiked today by the informant
who told us that the Jersey course
would get the Lesley Cup matches.
That is all off," he said today.
"NIeron will likely get the Lesley Cup
matches. Pine Valley has decided it
won't be in shape to make bids for some
time aud wants the course to be the
great course it is for the first cham
pionship it may get.
Mixed ray
The intercity play now seems to be
going along more smoothly, though the
plan of battle changes frequently. The
idea Of playing the matches in conuec
ton with the womcn's Griscom Cup
intercity Championships seems to find
favor.
The women's association now has q
scheme under consideration for five of
the best women players to- choose men
partners, the same as in other mixed
foursomes, and invite the New Workers
to bring over a team of men. The mixed
fcursomes would then be played before
or after the Griscom matches in con
junction with the same.
In no other tourney would there be
a similar chance to study the play of
both star men and women golfers. Fans
who follow the amateurs rather ignore
the Journeys of the women, and vice
versa.

NEEDED TARIFF.

What we are greatly In need of is
an emergency tariff law. It isn't any
wonder there is a general drop in
prices, with three times as much raw
material imported on the last five
months as in the whole year previous.
Some OF the amounts are: $50 billion
pounds OF wool, 500 billion pounds of
cowhide. S75 billion bushel corn. II
we had an emergency tariff bill pass
ed, we would notice results in months
time. What the farmers need is Inn
mediate relief. With all the manufact-
urers protected and the products of
agriculture, our greatest industry, on
the free list, how can the farmers hold
up?IIt is well that the farmers are
organized, for there is a keen fight
Sor not only to see that they got an
equal protection but that the protec-
tion afforded manufacturers is ade-
squate but not excessive.
