nament. Among the schoolboy
golfers we find the sons Of the poor
as well as the sons Of the rich. Many
of both are caddying at the local
courses in spare time. They all seek
golf recognition. A tournament held
before the close of school term will
enable the boys who work during
summer vacation an even chance at
the city junior title.
K. Walter Jarvis, superintendent
OF city parks, heard the project and
passed upon it with favor. Next
week we hope to tell you that
through the courtesy of city park
board, Jarvis, and the course pro-
fessional, over whose links the tour
nament will be held, there will be
no green fees, the use Of the munich
pal course being gratis from the

dick Goodrich, Of Coffin course
walked off with the title at Culver.
There will be something new al
most daily about the tournament. 1t
is planned for either the last week
of May or the first week in June,
just before the end of school year.
Keep in touch through these col
umns.
Wednesday was a great day for
the golfers, and many turned out
at the courses. Generally speaking,
it was doctors day, or Sunday in
the medical world" No one with
proper judgment begrudges the man
who works day and night, week days
and Sundays, little recreation.
Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Rhoades started
taking lessons at South Grove.
Rroades played eight years ago and
admitted he HAD never played right
after fifteen minutes with Harry
Schopp, the pro. Mrs. Rhoades
played once and said after her les
son that one time just loaded her
down with bad habits. No one plays
a musical instrument without les
sons and a few minutes with the
pro. saves lots Of bad luck later. A
fair player once said his ability all
grew from a correct start.
Every one knows Otis elevators
lift and drop with precision. Three
employees were playing the hft-and-
drop game at South Grove. c. F.
Batten, a southpaw, drove a mean,
high ball, while his two playmates,
l.. f. Meyers and Herman Traylor,
were close contenders for the drive
honors They know how to drop 'em
in the cup also.
Tad Jones played his second round
over Riverside Wednesday. His score
was rs, according to Chick Nelson,
and Tad left in good spirits.
Sixty were out at Riverside, and
among them were Albert Fendrick
and Charles York. Mike Gibbons,
salt salesman, played around, but
was able to capture no brides, with
salt. Golf brides have no tails.
Miss Kathleen Viegle took her first
stroke at golf ball at South Grove
this week. 'I might have started
sooner had known 1t was so fas-
cinating," she said.
Miss Mary C. Turner and Miss
Smith, both teachers at Bakers
School, were among the beginners at
South Grove. The game has reached
a place where it has become a promi
nent pastime among the teaching
profession.

course, St., Louis, Mo-; r. V. First

Frank w. Stafford, heading his
own company presenting a sketch
at the Palace this week, played at
Coffin, Riverside and South Grove
while here. When he left the latter
course Wednesday he expressed his
regret that he played only a three
day engagement in this city. Mu-
nicipal courses are wonderful here,
he said.
