The buffers Revival.


g.. there are certain scientists
who believe that even buffers can
be made to play par golf by the use
of hypnotism."-News Item.)
Out from the darkness that has wrecked our
In somber pit or more than bunkered den.
What no. the blessed hypnotist arrives
To guide our paths to fair ways once again.
Or all the sorrow of our broken fate,
The nabby drives and all the puts we've
blown
While toilins grimly for a wretched 8.
No one can hint the depths Of our despair,
Beyond all chance for any sort Of bluff,
Who has not marked the caddie's sullen glare
The while he founders in the uncut rough.
Or We who sway and lunge upon the tee.
Lifting our heads before the ball is hit.
May dream perhaps Of getting down in 8,
Only to wake up In some blasted pit.
But now by magic wave and mystic lure.
What no. the blessed hypnotist is near.
Leaving our methods undehled and pure.
Showing all traps beyond the reach of fear.

More Quality Than Quantity.
Americas June invasion of Great

it lacks in quantity.
With Hutchison, Barnes ana
Hagen blazing in golf at Sandwich

enough to go a long way. even If
none of the quartet finally pulls

Lenglen would never tackle Mrs
Mallory again upon the court. If she
does, there is also a general feeling

As for our three best professional

man are at least to l.
So the odds against an American
victory at Sandwich are about 8 to

nothing to start cheering about In
advance.
Greb and Carpenter.
