400 difficult to play the amateur

TOO difficult to play the amateur
championship on. No course
for the ordinary player and

For years we have heard of the
difficulties of Pine Valley, of how 1t
made Of golf a thing Of hard work, OF
delight when a par was scored and
how the members of the club we're
willing to wager that a visitor-no mat

Hugh Wilson.
Pine Valley Is all it is claimed to be,
and the 90 we chalked up yesterday as
the result of earnest endeavors after

A unique experience, this business of

There is a place for every shot and the

the more putting skill Is needed to ne

Our admiration Is boundless for the
courage of the men who blasted such

play it all the time is high. But If the

Another highlight flashed up when
a slip of a girl, scarcely in her teens,
broke the tape in the 50-yard dash in

Three other things stood out - the
performance of the relay team from

the 400-yard course in SO seconds; the
keen competition offered by the young
