PROS CARRY GAME
TO MANY NATIONS
Iaunts by U. S. Links Stars
Do Much to Plant Sport
in Foreign Lands.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

| ~HICAGO, March 13.-"Some
day, and I expect it. to be
~ within my lifetime, there
will be half dozen coun-
tries competing in the Ryder Cup
matches instead of just the United
States and Great Britain" de-
clares Charles Hall, president of
the Professional Golfers Associa-
ton.
Hall had come up from Birmingham
and Jack Mackie from New York to
| meet with Alex Prize and Albert Gates
in a discussion of p G. A. affairs and
the awarding of the annual association
championship.
| Whenever you get several profession
ais together the conversation always
will drift to the playing end of the
whom every veteran pro has a sincere
regard.
Game Spreading Fast.
"You have little idea of the growth
| of golf throughout the world" contin-
ued Hall. I'VE make much of its de-
velopment and popularity here in the
| United States. but it is relatively the
| same the world over
The export of golf equipment to Japan
and Argentina is tremendous and an
accurate barometer as to the growth of
! the sport. In Japan 1t is becoming
tremendously popular and it is one game
that does not handicap the Japanese
because of his size.
Golf also is enjoyed in Germany,
Sweden and Italy" said Hall, although
we do not realize it so much, because
| the continental countries obtain most
of their equipment from Great Britain.
But within 10 years or so all Of those
countries and perhaps others will have
developed enough good players to be
interested in competing for the Ryder
Cup, and there is no reason why they
cannot be admitted to the international
| competition" Right or wrong in his
conjectures, Hall has an idea.
Pros Tours Help.
The tours of Walter Hagen, Joe Kirk
wood. Bob Crllickshank and Bill Mehl-
horn through the Orient has done much
to stimulate golf In the Far East and
their hegiras were followed by an in
creased demand for golf equipment in
Japan and other countries.

o1ls were the apostles of golf In Amer

into new regions.
The value of motion pictures as an
| instructive medium in golf then was
harangued, the p G. A. being inter-
ested in the subject, since it has
possession of high-speed pictures of
Vardon, Jones and Miss Joyce Weth-
cred that soon viii be released to its
members. Jack Mackie summarized the
subject very we'll with the remark that
ct is impossible to film courage"

make slight change in the competition

eligible for the competition, but instead
Of having the entire group play 70 holes,

the average of the players best scores
and par be taken as his true handicap,
we then come into the realm of courtesy
handicapping.
THE whole business of handicapping
i this year is inextricably bound UP
with the new qualifying system to
be used for the national amateur
championship by the United States
Golf Association. This is the sectional
qualification system. and 1t is now GER
tain that some time next Summer
either Columbia or Five Farms win be
chosen for the sectional qualifying tests
in this section. The handicap limit for
players eligible to compete in the sec
tional test is 3 strokes, and naturally
a good many Of the boys viii want to
compete in this event, whether they
qualify or not So they win begin turn
ing in their scores early In the Spring,
hoping to get q club handicap rating
of or less and so be eligible to play
in the sectional qualifying round and
possibly in the amateur championship.
A large percentage OF them VIII be
disappointed. Of course, for, at the out
side, only three places win be awarded
to this section in the qualifying round
II the section is limited to players from
the District Of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia. And Of those three who do
qualify, how many do you thinI VIII
qualify In the larger championship
qualifying round to be played near Chi
cago In September? This handicapping
business always has been interesting,
and it win be doubly so this year. The
smS=s boys viii be those who hold onto
their best scores. II thsy do and the
scores entitle them to q rating Of
strokes or less no golf committee can
turn them down, whether the Callkins
system or any other system is used.
They may be wrong, but they'll be legal.

STRANGE COURSES
NEEDED FOR TEST
Maryland State Association
Hit by Critics for Its
Low Allowances.
BY WALTER B. McCALLUM.

In TOW that the Maryland State
Golf Association has, as
1 Y the boys say, "stuck its
neck out" by issuing a
handicap list of amateur golfers
connected with clubs affiliated
with the association, the critics
are getting busy attempting to
shoot the handicap list full Of
holes, leveling their artillery at
the ratings of the association and
generally seeking to find out why
SO many men connected with
Maryland clubs have been given
such low handicaps.
Speaking generally, it is our view
that the handicaps of the State as
ISOLATION are too low, and to go
step further, that the handicaps Of
many Of the members of clubs around
Washington are too low. Such men as
Leroy Sasscer, DR.. Larry OteI, Alex
and Frank Roescn all are nne
golfers. So are John Shorey, Miller
b. STEVENSON and Harry Pitt. But can
any of them play consistently to a
handicap of one stroke? We do not
think so. It seems. that there are such
things as courtesy handicaps, given to
some players because they have had
several low rounds, which are not a
true indication of their real game. If
there is one man around Washington
who plays closer to his true handicap
than any other we believe Miller
STEVENSON is that man. And STEVENSON
is rated at scratch at Columbia. He
plays fairly close to scratch golf at
Columbia, where the par of the course
is 10, and STEVENSON has the bulge
over most of the others because he
saves all his score cards and can pro-
duce them at any time.
WHAT we are getting at is that when
w any golf organization attempts
to produce a list of handicap
ratings based on scores made over the
competitors home course, they are more
than apt to be very misleading. Mlny
men play their own golf course very
well, but are out at sea on a course
which they do not know so thoroughly.
The scores made in the invitation
tournaments reveal this condition quite
well. How many times have you seen
Joe Cook of the mythical Maple Valley
Golf Club, who holds his club cham
pionShip, and is rated at scratch, go
over to the Lost Greek Club invitation
tournament, shoot an 80 and qualify
well up in the second flight. He should
qualify In the first flight, and he would
do so in q tournament on his own
course, but the course of the Lost
Greek Club is strange to him and he
does not do so well. The same situation
holds true Of many golfers around
Washington. They play their own
courses ve7y well, but when they travel
over into foreign territory they are not
apt TO be so good. We've seen 1t work
out many times and in the cases of
many individuals. They may be tough
customers on their own laycIts and
may have trouble breaking IS on q
strange course.
Which is one reason we believe hand
leaps, generally speaking, are too low.
They may be based on the Calkins sys-
TEN, or the Graphic system, or any
other system. But if they adhere to
the proposition that the average or
percentage Of the difference between
