WykaEyl Makes Offer.

Wykagyl Country Club of New
Rochelle bids fair to be one of the most
popular organizations In the country this
year with the star golfers of both the
amateur and professional ranks. This
links is fairly we'll known. Before the
season is over not many of the prominent
players will be able to say that they
forget how the course runs, for Wykagyl
has made an offer that just challenges
the expert to remain away this summer
Finding that no golfer has played around
in the par of ~ since the course was
remodelled, Wykagyl has offered a prize
of $500 to any professional or q trophy
equal in value to any amateur who
breaks the par of the course with the
lowest figure during 1921. In the event
Of record made by one player being
tied by another play-of between the
two will be necessary.
The WykagyI course has the reputa-
ton of being one of the most difficult in
the United States, as may be judged by
the fact that no one has been able even
to equal the par since IL was heightened
last spring. When the metropolitan open
championship was held there in 1903
Alex Smith led with a total for the
seventy-two holes of 306. This stood for
ten years as the highest winning card
for this particular championship and was
not beaten until Hagen. Barnes and
Hoffner tied at 307 at Garden City in
1915
But even II Garden City did prove to
be slightly more difficult it has to be
borne in mind that the championship was
held at Wykagyl long before the course
was heightened. To-day 1t Is easily sew
eral strokes harder, although at the same
time in much better condition.
The Wykagyl offer no doubt will prove
popular with the professionals. who may
be expected to begin their onslaught on
the par of 70 as soon as they return from
the South. As for the amateurs, not
many OF that class will care to pass up
such an opportunity to add a $500 trophy
to their collection of spoils.

slight Misunderstanding.

When the newspaper representatives
assembled in the executive chamber
Gov Miller threw a chill into the gath
ering BY saying:
"Wcll. gentlemen, don't know Just
exactly the purpose of this gather
ing. as there isn't anything pending
before me. For some time there has
been a suggestion tina. the sporting

pated, has been brought about. Now,

you. but | should be very glad to
rear anything that anybody has to
say 20 me. My secretary informs
me that there are a number OF gem
tlemen who have things that they
would like TO say 10 me"
This was a surprise to the writer's
who had received invitations from the
Governors secretary to meet the Execu-
tive and talk on the question of sports
control, and most Of them were non
pluesed.
Senator Marty Mccue acted as con.
ciliator, and said

High Cost of Hoylakc.

Participation of Fred j. Wright, Jr.
the Fay State amateur title holder, in
the British amateur championship at
Hoylake Is said to be doubtful because
Of the failure OF the Massachusetts State
Golf Association to make allowance
toward his expenses. estimated at $4,000.
Evidently Fred Is not quite certain
whether he Is being asked to go abroad
to play In the championship at Hoylake
or to buy the links.

AS II to remind us that there is moth
ing new under the sun, t. J. Johnston
writes from Useppa Island. Florida, to
say:
with respect to Kirkwood's driving a
ball from a watch crystal without
breaking the crystal, this was done at
North Inch Club. Perth. Scotland. in
1858. by the then professional at that
club. See A. II. Revalls book on golf,
published 1915, page 149."
Won't dispute the point with Mr.
Revall. Can't say we we're taking much
interest in watch crystals and golf
drives in 1858.
J. II. Klrkwood may be finding the
professional golf company much faster
In this country than II was at home.
Still, II has to be admitted Joe has done
remarkably we'll. IT should please the

at Pinehurst, KirSwood's first tourna-
ment In this country. and. moreover.

was five ahead Of Walter. Moreover,
Kirkwood hns been well within the
