THE AFTERMATH.
By the Cub

Now that the gol1 season mas more
or less officially opened, due to the
lack of wind in basket balls, every
would-be collumist in the country in
GLIDING the cub, wipes the dust off
the old mill and lauds the local gopher
pasture. It's hard to tell whether
said reporters expect to get free
membership in the club by this meth
cd or if they just need half collum
of filler in the weekly indigest.
The fact is, the local pill pushers
have more than ordinary racetrack
around which to chase the little white
grapefruit The general appearance
of the course is the same as the floor
plan of a pretzel. A couple of dog
legs and a Mount Washington ap-
proach to the third hole make the
invader feel like the British taking
Bunker Hill.
You make take the scond hole in
four or forty, but just remember that
the United States took the philippines
in 1898, and look what they got!
The we'll known Uncle still has the
little brown babies to look after, and
the main trouble is, can he get rid of
them?
A new set of ground rules has
been adopted by the powers of the
club. No Chinese laundry signboards
will be allowed on the greens. 1t is
required that puts be shorter and
drives longer. Members of the Sons
and Daughters of l Will Arise will
not sing their club songs while a tour
nament is in progress.
Dues are also coming down. Yeh.
So is the cost of radium!
A ground hog has been trained to
clean the cups daily, removing lost
balls and broken mashies from the
bottom of the hole.
On an eastern course where the
new balloon balls were tried, the
game was said to have been made
considerably faster. These oversize
balls, slightly smaller than standard
basket ball, are used mainly by the
Scotch members of the Association
and when painted white or red are
very difficult to lose.
Red Grange is said to be developing
new form of golf in which an air
inflated pigskin Of oval shape is
passed between two upright posts.
The game is gaining in popularity in
the Midwestern and Western college
towns so runs the report. Down in
Arizona the idea seems to be to ride
a long horned steer in among a grove
of prickly pear and at the same time
keep from being shot by the Mexi-
sans.
This differs from golf in Washing
ton, D. c., where it is the custom to
throw a cabinet candidate at the
Senate, and count the times he re-
bounds. If he fails to STAY at all
Senate counts two points, while if
his successor is appointed immediate
ly the president makes half point
The game is played about once in
tours years, when the Senate is sure
that the Vice President is well asleep.
The game is practically the same
in California, where Chinese are
thrown back at the old country, and
the number of laundry tickets left is
counted. Japanese are also being
rapidly introduced into the game.
What a change it must be to the
collegiate gentlemen to take off the
ballon pants and crawl into a set of
kits. We hear that college boys are
learning to blush all over again, Just
from exposing their neither extrem-
tiles in the immodest golf apparel of
the day.
The golf sweaters, though! One
follower of Bacchus tried to conceal
his furniture polish beneath golf
sweater and before he knew what had
happened he had had paddock put
on both hip pockets, and revenue
agent was leading him to town by
ring in his nose.
