Champion Golf
In England May
Bring Admission

London, Aug. 9 CA. L. by mani
The British are about TO adopt the
American custom of charging admls-
sion to watch golf championships.
They do not like to have TO 90 II, Iot
it means the passing of another u
their traditions. Everyone interest
ed in the game realizes that some
thing must be done to restrict ,ne
size of the swarming crowds on the
championship courses, croWds Wnlcn
in recent years have increased I[oIi
a few hundred to upwards OF oo'ooo'
of whom a great many in their eag-
erness to see everything possible lor-
get all about etiquette.
BEFORE the war, when golf was to
a great extent limited to the more
leisurely and comfortably fixed class
es, the championships drew only
few hundred or at most few thou
sand spectators. The galleries were
easy to handle, especially in England
where the classes and the masses
are easily disciplined and keeping
order is a national trait. But since
the war, with American delegations
coming over annually to try for both
the open and amateur titles, the
championships have the flavor of an
international fight and people who
hardly know the difference between
a mashie and bunker have Joined
the swelling, scurrying crowds that
race along fairways and rough to
watch the stars of the game at their
labors.
Annually the situation has grown
worse. When Hagen made his gall
liant but losing round on the last af-
ternoon of the Troon championship
two years ago, perhaps 10000 tramp
ed and raced after and in front Of
him. The next year at Hoylake the
gallery that gazed upon the last nine
holes of his successful fight to regain
the cup was estimated at $4,000. This
year, at Prestwick-which both
boasts and bemoans the fact that it
draws the worlds largest golf crowds
there must have been between 10000
and 10000 scurrying and scampering
about when Macdonald Smith, try
ing to do a 78 to win the champion
ship. collapsed completely. That
failure, saying they wouldn't give
him room to make shot.
Under the emotion of his disap1
pointment, Smith did a little plain
talking that caused little pleasure
but later on, when both he and those
who read his remarks got away from
the heat of the battle, the fact be-
gan to soak in that something ough.
to be done to regulate the size OF
golf galleries on this side of the
ocean, as was long ago done l.:
