GOLF GROWS POPULAR
AMONG THE JAPANESE

The Japanese are taking to
golf with enthusiasm, and the
nine-hole course, situated In an
ideal position seven miles from
Toxic, is crowded morning and
afternoon. There are also
courses near the other cries of
Japan, and the country hotels
r also providing. for their
guests in this respect. The JAP
anese of Toxic. however, have
now undertaken a more ambi-
tious scheme, and in connection
with a country club which is be-

Yokohama are laying out an
eighteen-hole course on 112 acres
of land. The plans of the club
house, which will be the finest
in the country, are from Ameri-

GOLF DEVELOPS SELFlSHNESS
Lack of Team Play Encourages
Player to Think of Himself
Only While Making Plays.

A man who plays golf some, who
spends much time in goling galleries
and thinks about golf not a little, says
golf is a game which develops selfish
ness in the player.
His reason is this: There is no
team play in golf. The efforts of each
player are his own, not co-ordinating
with any other player or set of play
ers. Hence he loses the developing
element that comes Of games where
team play is the thing, such as foot
ball and baseball. Think it over.
Golf, he says, is not the game where
genuine sportsmanship exists. the
claim that is made by men who play
the ancient Scottish game.
Golf is a game which gives oppor-
tunity for the finest craftsmanship"
he says. But the selishness of the
individual players too often prevents
it from developing. Is the golfer that
pans his caddie and who springs the
alibi for defeat, Is he a sport? Is the
golfer who forgets what the rules say.
Is a sport?

GAME NOT SCIENTIFIC

Is the world advancing? Base
ball isn't. The game is more
popular than ten years ago, but
not as scientific. 1t is as scien-
tifc tactically, but not in a
mechanical way. 1t consists
largely of the batter seeking the
too sensitive ball and of vicis-

''No Tip Sign in Taxi
Nearly Causes Paris Riot
Crowd i'm Street Makes Protest
and Owner Reno rs Al
Turing Placard

A man who did not want a tip caused
an ineipiont riot in Paris recently, He
was the owner Of a taxi motoreab and
thought he could operate his o"n
property as he saw 90. So he placed
on his vehicle a sign reading; Il own
this taxi and accept no tips
The ruction was caused, not by the
rush Of customers, but by the anger Of
fellow taxi drivers. "What does this
upstart meant" asked one, climbing
down from his seat and hurrying to-
ward the revolutionary car with
threatening vigor. "Renegade." cried
other chauHeurs from the cab stand.
Epithet followed epithet, and mean
while the crowd grew after the fashion

customary bakers boy. butchers boy
and flock OF "midinettcs.r when the
crowd had grown 20 impressive pro-
portions the owner OF tho taxi said 70
his colleagues: "You don't appear 10
like this announcement There was a
loud chorus OF "Noi' With no backing
from possible customers, the audaeious
taxi proprietor decided 10 capitulate.
SO he took down his sign, the crowd
melted and the tipping system was
saved.
