NEW YORK GOLFERS
AN UNLUCKY LOT
See Third Big International
Open Tourney Snatched
From Them.
BY KERR N. PETRIE.

Perhaps there is something to the
popular theory that anything worth
while happens close to Broadway. Still
II Is a fact that as a golfer Father
Knickerbocker Is beginning TO fancy
himself one of the most unlucSy wights
that ever hewed his way out of the
rough. 1t might be thought that in
three times at bat little old New York
would be able to make one hit. yet in
the matter of international professional
golf competition at least the metropoli-
tan district has seen Ted Ray and Harry
Vardon come and go twice without
landing one of the open championships
in which they were scheduled to partici-
pate and now 1t views with the same
mournful mlen the coming visit OF the
next two greatest on the British profes-
sonal golfng list. George Duncan. the
open title holder. and Abe Mitchell. win
ner for the second consecutive time of
the big News of the World tournament.
The championship this year, as all the
world now knows. is slated for the Co
lumbla Country Club of Washington
D. c.
An interesting issue is raised as re-
suit of this years assignment. AS every
one knows Il has been the custom OF
the United States Golf Association TO
send it's tournament to the East and
West alternately Last year the ma
tional open was decided at Toledo and
so 1t comes about that this time il is
the turn of that golfing portion of the
country closer to the Atlantic seaboard
to stage the meeting. Had the tourna-
ment gone to Philadelphia or Boston
then New York. in keeping with all the
rest of the East. would have sat back
until the West again had its turn next
wear. But seeing that Washington is
the selection the metropolitan district
feels that not the East, but the South
has landed the plum and that in con-
sequence II will be no more than within
It's rights If It makes loud outcry Tor
the 1922 open championship.
It has transpired that among other
clubs that have had their calculations
upset by the victory of Columbia over
siwanoy is Mount Kisco. This organiza-
ton claims that It is only fifteen miles
as the crow flies or as the bee buns
from Siwanoy. With the discovery APP
parently came a great yearning to be UP
and doing.
Having recently spent something IKE
$4,000 on it's course it felt that 1t had a
right to show It's possessions to the
world. so it was going ahead quietly with
a monster open tournament the like ol
which is seldom seen in these quarters
and one. moreover. which Duncan and
Mitchell couldn't possibly think Of pass
ing over. In short, it was figuring on
offering something like $1,000 In prize
money, this, OF course, being contingent
on the tournament being held as cur
tain raiser to the national championship
at Siwanoy. Now that the open mas
zone to Washington, Mount kisco prob
ably will abandon the project.

Butchart Survived Ruhleben.

Any golfer desirous of knowing what
life in Ruhleben Camp was like during
the war should consult Cuthbert Butch
art Carnoustie-bred golfer and one
time professional to the Berlin COLI
Club, who arrived in this country re-
Gently. When other stars from his home
town were turning their eyes toward the
United States Butchart steered across
the North Sea for the land of kultur.
which he Is now ready to admit was a
big mistake.
Before the war quite bit OF gof was
being played In and around Berlin, some
Of II by the one time Crown Prince. who,
It is even said, went so far one day as
to challenge Butchart to play for his sal
airy, that is, the professionals salary.
Much to the surprise OF the professional
the game went along rather evenly for
number Of holes just long enough. so
the story goes, for Butchart to satisfy
himself that the one time heir to the
German throne was even less proficient
In his arithmetic than he was with the
clubs With the watchful eye OF the
professional on him the Crown Prince
had no difficulty after that laying down
to form and enabling the Berlin Club in
structor 10 reap the reward OF his vastly
superior skill.
Notwithstanding his intimacy with the
Crown Prince and others of high degree
in Germany Butchart at the outbreak of
war was thrown into the Ruhleben camp.
Possibly however. that particular match
was OF too recent and poignant a mem
ory for the heir TO the Hohenzollern
throne TO interfere In his behalf In any
| event Butchart weathered five years OF
| the detention pen. during which he
played a little golf here and there around
the camp when opportunity offered, and
when II did not ne employed his time
and showed his ingenuity and versatility
| by making numerous nicknacks. both
| ornamental and useful. Among the ar
ticles which Butchart brought with him
out of Germany is a handsome silver
service. hand hammered by himself out
Of German silver coins.
