English Golfer Believes Six
teen Holes Sufficient for
Good Playing.

In the midst Of all the discus.

courses and the lively ball. when
the authorities OF two continents
are trying to devise some scheme
whereby the crackerjack players
may be forced to use a wooden club
for the second shots, an unassum.
ing mortal comes forward with the
contention, that golf takes up too
much time.
He maintains that the only proof
that is necessary to bear out his
argument that the game Is too long

wives whose husbands are late for

players who miss their trains.

the country's population for failing

world would be happier il it didn't
take so long to play eighteen holes.
The remedy suggested by an
English golfer is that the 5000
yards or more of the course should
be retained, but that the number
of holes should be reduced to six.
teen. The time taken UP to play
the final two holes. it. seems, is the
margin which causes all the broken
engagements.
This radical points out that work

for ordinary players the ball is hit
just as often with every club ex.

English golfer, "to upset the

In the ancient days of golf the
courses varied in length. Two
famous courses on the other side,
Leith and Blackheath, were origin
ally only five holes in length. The
five holes at Leith before 1921
ranged in length from Ala to 495
yards.
There are several reasons why

showing.
Although finishing fifth, the HiIl-
top runners came within two-fifthS
of a second Of equaling the national
record, and aftermath reports from
New York tell Of a brilliant perform
ance by them.
The New York Athletic Club won
the race, and, as It turned out,
Georgetown would have had to beat
the national record by five seconds
in order to have won, so heavily han
dicapped was the team from Wash

Jimmy Connolly. Georgetown's
great miller, was the star Of the
meet. He won the 1,000-yard invita-.
ton race in 2:184-5, defeating such
stars as Mike Devanney, Of the Mill
rose A. A.. and Jack Sellers and Sid
Leslie, of the New York A. C.
Devanney looked to be a likely
winner during the first 500 yards,
but Connolly was only taking things
easy. In the last quarter he stepped
along In fashion right sharp and
steadily cut down the Millrose star.
On the last lap he cut loose and won
handily.
With twelve minutes rest after
