The Larchmont SO footers will be
raced this year, and probably every one
of the six yachts will be in commission.
These yachts were built In 1917 by
Wood & Mcclure at City Island from
designs by William Gardner. Some OF
them were raced a little that summer,
but there was very little real yachting
because of the war. Since then some
yachts have changed owners, and now.
il all plans go we'll. all six will be in
commission and be raced throughout the
season.
Commodore James b. Ford of the
I.archmont Yacht Club owns the Varuna
which is rigged with jib headed main
sail. The others use the old style gaff
mainsail In races sailed the Varuna
seemed to have just little the better
record, but many yachtsmen attribute
this advantage more to skllful handling
rather than to any advantage of rig. The
other yachts in this class are Rear Com
modore Philip II. Johnson's Grey Dawn
III. L. Maxwelfs Daphne. III. M. Cow
perthwaite's Georgia, Luke V. Lock
woods Maisie and an unnamed built
for II. NJ. Timken.
The Timken yacht has never been
launched and still stands In shop at
Woods yard at City Island. IL is in the
best possible condition. and as some
yachtsmen are keeny interested I'm this
class 1t will probably be sold before the
season opens, so for the first time the
whole fleet will be In commission.
These yachts are well suited to cruis-
ing and racing. The yachts have fine
accommodations and are fast under gen
eral conditions of wind and weather
They are 50 feet Q inches over all. 3s
feet inches on the water line. IL feet

are a little shorter over all, foot and a

Jones Worlds Best Golf
Amateur, Declares Hunter
Deadly Straighness Shot After Shot, Makes Bobby the
Leading Linksman in Opinion of British Champion
Predicts Another American Failure at Prestwck.
ny JOHN G. ANDERSON.

1t is interesting to note what the anna
teur champion Of Great Britain has to
say about American golf and golfers
after he has had an opportunity to con-
slider carefully the two standards of
play. In a recent interview Wil,:s xaant-
er said: NO, am not going to enter
for the amateur championship from an
American club. That idea rose from
the fact that l Joined the Westchester-
Biltmore Club, of which Tom Armour is
Secretary. He and / wanted to be mem
bers Of the same club so that we could
enter the team matches as partners and
the play for such trophies as are given by
the American Golfer magazine.
ABE Mitchell was very popular in the
States because of his long driving
They are mad on long hitting in the
States; in fact, they think too much OF
ii, and it is the worst fault in their
game.
Bobby Jones Is the best golfer in the
amateur ranks not only in America but
in the world" went on Hunter. 1T is
his deadly straightness, shot after shot
absolutely on the line. Bobby is better
golfer than / am, but I can hold on
longer some of the times.
II do not think that the Americans
will be able to put forth a golfer who
can win at Prestwick this year, not
because they cannot get used to the
greens but because they cannot play the
necessary pitch and run shot"
Hunter is in good trim, having made
73 and a "a on the championship
course at Deal soon after his return.
II will be interesting to see whether he
can break a twenty year rule that the
champion does not defend his title sue
cessfully.
Vandalism I'm Golf.
What have we here? The past fort
night has seen an occurrence in golf
which is almost beyond the'comprehen-
sion of true golfers. From one Of a
dozen letters which have been sent us
we quote the following:
For the good of the game of golf
think that the latest scandal should be
made known. When Mr.. s. went TO
his locker to get his clubs preparatory
to his match he found that two OF them
had been badly smashed. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that it was done by some
one who had a bet on his opponent. as
the clubs were left i'm their usual con-
dition the day before and were broken
absolutely beyond repair. 1t happened
that this golfer was left handed. and it
was therefore necessary for him to
scurry around and find other clubs of
like nature,-which he did. This action
followed the theft of clubs OF another
player in the tourney who had a chance
after the first day to win the low gross.
1t would appear that drastic steps
should be taken to protect golfers from
such annoyance"
A pretty state of affairs, which we
are confident will be remedied. But il
is a warning to golfers as we'll to see
that their clubs are under lock and key
and that locker men are instructed not
The New York herald., 1922-04-16

TO permit anybody 10 open the locker
except the owner.
This is to our knowledge the first
time betting has been laid at the door
of vandalism in golf. We have heard
of a golfer having a club taken out Of
his bag on a bet that he wouldn't notice
it for several holes and OF left handed
clubs being placed in the bag for joke.
But all this has been done by friends in
a spirit of ultimate fun for all, and never
have such actions as mentioned above
been discovered.
Caddy Boys Make Wagers.
1t Is quite beyond. our power to place
any blame for these two occurrences at
Southern resort We do know. how
ever, that locker men make many a
wager, that caddy boys follow the ex-
ample set by others in pools. that rivalry
among locker boys and men at the time
of championships has often been so keen
that trouble between them has resulted
in physical combat. All this has in truth
added bit OF zest to the fray, and tho
plaudits of a couple of locker room boys
have to some golfers sounded as pleas
ant as those of the gallery. But never
has the thought of destroying mans
chances through the destruction of his
golf clubs been limited at.
We do know OF one caddy in a cham
pionship who was caddying for a man
whom he wanted to lose. The favorte
iron of his employer was the midiron-
Going to the eighth hole the opponents
caddy saw this rascal niclSing the wood
Of the midiron near the nozzle with
knife and weakening it so that II
would break. He reported it to his
employer who informed his partner. and
the caddy was not only driven from
that club but was refused work at
twenty others in the vicinity. This hap
pened ten years ago. and we have ney(
heard of single instance where cad
dies were not intensely loyal and es-
pecially to the star golfers.
If there had been but one instance
of this kind of trickery it might have
been put down as one man or boy gone
wrong. but there happened to be two
directed toward different and exceed
ingly popular golf stars. This would
make the affair seem a matter OF
planned action. and we have little doubt
but the mills are grinding slowly, look
ing toward the detection of the culprits.
and we hope with all golfers that they
will grind surely.
One can well imagine the state OF
mind of a golfer whose opponent finds
his golfing weapons tampered with 1t
puts him in a psychological state which
makes win for him almost impossible.
although every one knows that such
action would be farthest from mind.
So, too, the player whose clubs were
hurt. He knows that his opponent
cannot try because Of the handicap, and
as result the great and glorious game
of golf which finds its highest ex-
preston In man to man battles or the
eighteen or thirty-six hole route has
lost flavor and favor

LarchnlOnt SO FOOterS to

by ARTHUR +. ALDRIDGE.

doubtful IL II would materially benefi.

To give such regattas and to enroll
small craft would mean that the club
would have to join the Yacht Racing

ity. To-day 1t is the leading yachting or
ganization on this continent. It's counsels
are conservative. It's rules have become
the foundation of the rules of all other
clubs. It's charter is for the purpose
OF encouraging yacht building and naval
architecture and the cultivation of naval
science" and its record shows how well
It has lived up to these objects and how
much 1t has done for yachting in the
rs years OF It's history. For the best
interests of the sport 1t Is better that
the New York Yacht Club should be
as 1t is, and its members are of this
opinion too.
