ORIGIN OF Golf
Scotch Shepherd Said to Have
Originated the Game.
With His Crook as Brassie and
Stone for Ball He Made the
Circuit of the Links.

Six hundred years and more ago an
old shepherd in Scotland grew tired
of doing nothing all day but look after
his sheep so he amused himself by
knocking a stone about with his crook.
1t interested him to see how far he
could knock that little stone and how
he could best get it out when it fell
into grassy hollows or among other
stones. He chose as round a stone as
possible and put q distinguishing mark
upon 1t.
One day he mentioned this pastime
to the shepherd in the next field, who
tried it, too. Then they made some
of the places more difficult and meas
ured off definite points and goals. AT
night, on their homeward way they
would swap yarns. They measured
off their holes in circle, because In
that way they could keep watch over
their sheep, and they marked their
holes with a tag of wool attached to
stake. Soon all the shepherds of
the neighborhood were following their
example.
This, says the Christian Science
Monitor, Is one version of the origin
OF golf. 1t was the game of shep-
herds in the beginning; but we find it
the game of kings as we'll We have
an account of the train of james VI
of Scotland and | of England playing
on English soil The first match on
record was when the duke of YORK,
afterward James II of England and
an Edinburgh shoemaker defended
Scotlands claim against two English
noblemen. Shortly after this matches
became more common, with prizes of
clubs with silver bands, II balls or a
simple medal.
BY Scottish laws we can trace the
history of the game from very early
times. In 1853 the Scottish parlia-
ment enacted that because golf di-
verts attention from archery, ii must
be cried down." and it seems to have
been necessary to renew many times
a law that golf must not be played on
Sunday.
With a praiseworthy eye to economy,
James | in 1918, disturbed because mo
small quantities of gold and silver are
transported yearly out of his highness
Kingdom Of Scotland for buying of golf
balls" conferred a monopoly of golf
ball manufacture upon James Melville
for n years but added that he must
not charge more than four shlllingS
This same King James appointed Will
liam Mayne, Bower Burgess of Edin-
burgh, club maker to his highness
during all the days of his lifetime"
The implements early became as
good as those Of today, with the eX-
ception of the balls. The first real
balls were of leather, stuffed with
feathers; then taey We're made Of
gutta percha with smooth surface
1t was soon discovered, however, that
indeGsations were an aid to rotations
and the balls were hammered with the
chise end of a hammer Later, of
course, the indentations were made in
the mold. H+
AS far as records show, golf was
first known in America in New York,
but tradition states it was played on
the Pacific coast by band of old sea
captains in the Sixteenth century.
When women began to play is not
known but times have changed since
the following quotation was true:
MEN play the game, the boys the
clubs convey, and lovely woman gives
the prize away"

most of the work in the frst hve
rounds. In the final, however, Mcbride
waded into the youngster with vigor
and earned decision.
Rodriguez's greater reach helped
him considerably in his match with
Greek Constantine of Boiling Field
for the lightweight title. Joe kept
the aviator at bay in the first round.
and thereafter Constantine seemed
content to let, the Fort Myer soldier
do all the leading. Constantine al
times demonstrated that he could
punch effectively and had he been
more aggressive. Rodriguez might not
have gained the decision in the SIX
rounds of milling.
O'COnneu Gets WeItcr Title.
Experience and craft triumphed
over gameness and Willingness in the
welterweight battle between O'Con-
ne1l and Til Thoman, Walter Reed
title aspirant. O'Conneil is fast,
from A to 2. Thoman is more of the
slam bang type. .O'Connell easily
cvaded his opponents wild swings
and with his left working well clear
ly fought his way to a sixround YER
dict.
The middleweight bout was a rather
farcical affair. Neither Critics Of
Boiling Field nor Judge Lynch of
Walter Reed know much of boxing
and they were poorly conditioned for
the fray, but they were trying" all
the way. After the third round, both

The new champions are Vincent
Carbon, bantamweight; Matt Mcbride,
featherweight; Joe Rodriguez, light
weight, and Con O'Connell, welter-
weight, all Of Fort Myer, and Chris
Critics, middleweight, of Boiling
Field. The bouts provided the best pro-
gram offered at Fort Myer this season
and were enjoyed by crowd of more
than 1000. Lieut.. Col. Waite C. john
son was the referee. while Col. Tyner
and Capt. Milholland assisted as
judges.
Carbon Scores Only X. o.
Carbon scored the only knockout in
the championship scraps. The shifty
little Fort Myer fighter went after
Cafone of Walter Reed Hospital in
whirlwind fashion from the tap of the
gong. The medic battled gamely, but
after a minute of mixing received a
hard left in the stomach and went
down for a count of nine. Cafone
came back for more and got 1t in the
same place before two minutes Of the
round had elapsed. The second time
he dropped, the Walter Reed boy took
the full count.
Mcbride and Joe Erdelles. another
Walter Reed boxer, put up rattling
good match in the featherweight di-
vision. The Fort Myer man. an old
timer, knew too much for the hospital
entrant, but the latter was ready and
willing to swap punches all the way.
The veteran ringman let Erdelles do

but Harris pulled Off his weird throw.
Harry didn't do so poorly thereafter,
but was somewhat wild.
The Griffs got their first tally in the
fourth round after two hands were
out, Milan doubling and scoring on
Rice's double to left. In the sixth,
they got their last two runs and for
minute shot scare into the local
fans. Judge led off with a clean sim
gle to right and after Harris had fan
ned Milan got pass to first. A wild
pitch moved both runners up a base
and then Sam Rice soaked a pretty
single into center, registering Judge
and Milan. The Griffs went out in or
der in the three final rounds, Jones
evidently deciding that the weather
was too cold to trifie any further.
Nick Altrock came out of his shell
and had the fans laughing heartily at
his antics. Some one presented him
with an old but loud straw hat, In
which he posed for the photographers.

smiling faces, shook hands before the

cheered both men heartily.
The paid attendance was a little
more than 5000. If it had not been

been 900 present. Everybody in the
grounds risked contracting pneumonia
on account of the cold wind from the
northwest.
