President Has
Hard-Luck Day
On Golf Links


lad carried the President and his party
out Of Peconic Bay to the deeper waters
Of Sag Harbor, in Gardeners Bay,
twenty miles away, where they were
transferred to the deck of the May
flower.
That issue was if golf should be
discussed among the statesmen who
are coming to Washington from vari-
Gus quarters of the world for the In
ternational Discussion of Limitation of
Armament, what will the President Of
the United States say?
Will he, Ticking the ash from the
end of his black sto:ie. sink down deep
in his chair and casually mention the
time he played around the Mansfield,
Ohio, Westbrook Club in 80, or will he
in cold blood, tell the delegates about
on the Shinnecock hills. Those who
believed that he would, in case the dis
armament discussion ever veered to
the subject of golf, mention the Ma
tional Golf Course, were in the minority
when the newspaper correspondents
started back to New York.
Mr.. Metcalfe's yacht was anchored
near the Mayhower yesterday morning
when the President came on deck. 1t
was not long until he had been trans
ferred to the spotless deck of the
linghuysen and Under Secretary
Fletcher, and began the smooth voyage
to Peconic Bay, which is too shallow
for the 21-foot draft of the Mayfower,
1t had been arranged that Mrs. Har-
ding, Secretary Weeks, Secretary
Hoover, Brgadier General and Mrs.
Sawyer, Mr.. and Mrs. George Van
Fleet were to go ashore at Sag Harbor
and make some calls before going to
Southampton and rejoin the President.
When they started ashore on sub
chaser, which had kept the Mayfiower
company throughout the night there
were left on board Attorney General
Daugherty and Secretary Christian.
Mr.. Daugherty is Commissioning from
severe cold that was recently aggra-
waited by an attack of ptonaine poison
ing.
Mrs. Harding Entertained
Landing at Sag Harbor Mrs. Harding
and her guests became the guests of
DR.. and Mrs. Albert Ely, who took them
in automobiles to Easthampton. There
Mrs Harding was taken to the home of
John Howard Payne, who wrote "Home,
Sweet Home"
Fragile old Colonial china, q spinning inning:
treasured relics of the family life of
Payne proved a source Of delight to
Mrs. Harding, who fingered there until
the rest of the visits on her schedule
had to be shortened a trife. She went
to the home of the Elys and then to call
On Frank Wibcrg. The Wiborgs, Cincin-
natl folks, are old friends of the Har-
dings and Mr.. Wiborg joined Mrs. Har-

Most of these did not meet the
President until after he had played his
golf and came in for the luncheon,
which was served for twenty-four.
When he arrived he took off his
coat. rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Well, let's get right at it,"
photographer seeking to picture
that first drive was urged by some Of
the Presidents guardians to get back
/ 1loIi IHe Cecy DuC tHS feSlueII SAID:
"No, no! Certainly Ill give him a
chance to photograph one of the best
drives ever made"
First Drive Strong One
Almost as important as keeping your
head down is the duffer rule for being
confident of putt and doubtful Of a

well placed. The head Of his driver
clicked Clearly as it encountered the
ball, which did not come to rest until
it had travelled down the fairway fol-

started off with a happy smile.
