Five years in prison or $4,000

GofNotes
By HARRY SMITH.

NEW YORK. Aug. S.-Fenimore
Country Club was an unknown name
that appeared for the first time on
a score board at the recent open
championship at Siwanoy. The new
organization occupies grounds ad-
joining the former homestead of J.
Fenimore Cooper, novelist. on the
Eugene Reynal estate, the line be-
tween Scarsdale and White Plains.
The course covers eighteen holes
and a nine-hole stretch for women
is under construction. The Reynal
mansion of steel and concrete,
which was built only fourteen years
ago at a cost of several hundred
thousand dollars. makes a unique
home for SO young a club. The
house contains forty-f1ve bedroomss.
sixteen baths and a swimming pool.
Several amateur golfers who
found they had been left Off the ma
tional eligibility list had very bad
hour or two after they read about
it. Then even those whose game
had begun to go r. seed began to
realize that the case was a long
way from being hopeless. for in a
majority of instances 1t was due to
NhO SoA VI Ad1AhCCo VI 6CO-
tional officials. rather than to their
own retrogression in scoring. Tyso
or three men. at least. are known
to have utilized the holy Sabbath
day to indite vigorous protests
Until one has followed the sport
year after year it Is impossible to
sense what store the better class
of players set by having their names
In what may be called the blue
book of golf. A great many men
would be willing to spend several
hundred dollars a year (and some
a few thousands) to make sure
OF being included, since It lifts
them out of the common herd and
imparts a certain sort of distinc-
ton whether they ever play in the
national championship or not.
Scores of men travel hundreds Of
miles every year to the country
wide championship who know they
cannot last more than a round or
two in the struggle. buoyed up by
the hope that they may be able
to qualify. There will probably
be fifty mepr at st. Louis in Sep
tember. certain to be entirely sat
isfied IL they merely qualify or lose
on the piay-on. Inc WRITER curing
the last eighteen yyears. has heard
q regiment of men declare with "A
tone of pride in their voice: ANY
how. I was able to qualify for the
national" and every season as that
battle grows more tense. such feel
ing Of pride increases.
= A number of the omissions from
the list are amusing Take. for
example. that of Julius Pollack. of
Wheeling who, only q month ago.
annexed the West Virginia title.

In insisting upon late returns
through the regular channels. with
the small army Of candidates in

redoubling their watchfulness is too
clear to permit argument.

at Garden City Is as fresh in mind
as yesterday by all who saw 1T, was

championship at Portland. He has
been out OF competitive golf for
years but Is said to harbor a ham
kering to come back. He did weii
enough to encourage him. to visit

third round. but only on the thirty
eighth hole. Schmidt would be a
great card at st. Louis, After he
finished college he saved enough
money teaching school to no abroad
