course of my life is ended that it
will be my good fortune to receive

these little shining globes, for it is
to be the custom of the association
to present these balls to the men,
bers of past and present Walker
Cup teams, and next to the medals
in the championships the association
can give no greater honor than this.
The Walker Cup matches at The
present time are a competition be.
tween England and America only.
while for the Davis Cup tennis
matches / noticed there are twenty
one teams entered, but as far as
golf is concerned, all those coEn-
tries combined could not mean as
much as those matches between
England and America for the
Walker Cup.
The chances are, however, that
since golf is a worlds game, all
these countries i'm tine> will join
in International matches.
So far, there have been but two
Walker Cup team matches played,
and America has won both events,
but last year our victory was DO
tanned by q narrow margin.
England lost much by the war,
and, therefore, our golf is little
the better at the present time, but
Britain is constantly improving, and
/ shall not be surprised if a very
close contest for the great cup takes
place in the East this fall.
Amateur international Golf has
had a splendid history during the
last four years. In 1900, however.
a. Cambridge Oxford team came 20
this country and surprised every.
one by their excellence of play. In,
1920 Roger Wotherod, the present
British champion, and Cyril Tolley,
then British champion came to this
country to compete in our national
amateur at the Engineers Club on
Long Island. They failed to qualify.
In the spring of 1921 w. c.
FOwnes, jr., eaptained q team of
American golfers who won from
England in a brilliant team match
at HOylake, this being the first
international gOlfing team to play
on British turf.
1t will be interesting to see the
American and British flags hanging
from the flagstaffs of the fortunate
country club on the day of the
match. There is something in the
close association of the emblems Of
these two great countries that gives
one a thrill of pride.
International golf is big success.
and it is one OF the greatest honors
in the country to be selected to play
on the team. think, too, the de-
cision OF the United States Golf AS.

1t is possible that Everett Scott,

The Tigers have impressive hit

Before Mr. Narkom could ask any Ques-

footsteps drove all other thoughts from his
head.
Hammond and Petrie appeared, and be-
tween them they were supporting man
stripped of coat, waistceat and hat, and
wearing bound round his head a blood
stained handkerchief. He was so weak from
loss of blood that it was next to impossible
for him to stand alone.

Mr.. Narkom hurried off, leaving his ally

A huflet had gone through his body;

and the marvel was not that he occasion

sentences, but that he was able to speak
at all.
my poor chapv' Cleek said feelingly as
he administered a stimulant by which the
keepers tagging energies were whipped

II dunno, sir-I didn't see., But one
woman was on the common tonight. "A

"a lady. What did that lady wear? Was
it pink dress? Or couldn't you see?"
"Oh, yes could see-she came near

dress, sir; it was green-an shiny pale
green satin with sparhlin' things on the
bosom and smenin' like field of vOylits on

A clatter of hasty footsteps came along
the drive and up the steps to the veranda,
