Something of Golf.

THE game of golf, according to a
local theater press agent, was first
played with crooked willow sticks and
ball Of leather, stuffed with hair and

while it originated in Scotland, the
Crusaders were really responsible.

AS Haines had never played the
game, he had to learn-and also to
read up.
"Golf," he says, seems to have
originated in the Saracen game Of
bowls, in which club was used 10
drive a ball-but by man on horse.

this same origin. The Crusaders
brought back the idea and in Scotland
it was worked out by players on foot.

wood club was developed and then the
iron club. Three hundred years ago
there were iron clubs, but they were

popularity Of the game increased,

losing sight of the colorful romance

secretly loves the younger.
Griffith confidently expects The
