Early Days Of Golf in Bismarck IRE
Recalled by One of First Members

Golfers IN Bismarck nowadays gen.
orally play the game in plus tours or
in abbreviated sports dresses, but
back In the early days of the Bis
marck Country club they went out on
tho links in peg top pants or in hob
BILE skirts and picture hats.
An interesting sidelight or the days
when golf was played in Bismarck
in starched skirts has been provided
by Mrs. E. A. Hughes, one Of the
prime movers in p%opularizing the
game in North Dakota, who has pre-
served the archives of the Bismarck
Country club by keeping accurate rec
ords of the activities of the local or
ganization during the years Of its in
fancy.
Veteran sportsmen in the commun-
ity will recall the days back in 1910
and 1911 when the game was regarded
as rather an effete pastime, and its
more or less sporadic development In
Bismarck. At that time it was the
custom for those who had q penchant
for the game to drive to open pas
lures at the edge of the city to in
dulge their passion for the sport.
Nearby farmers were inclined to look
askance at these exhibitions of folly
by mature men but, by 1912, the game
had progressed to q point where q golf
course Of sorts had been laid out near
the site where the Country club now
stands.
Interest Increased Rapidly
Interest in the game began to grow
as the number of players gradually
increased. In the files kept by Mrs.
Hughes Is the first written record OF
golf in Bismarck in the form Of a
printed program listing 80 players
entered in q tournament In 1912. Both
men and women were entered in the
meet which called for two-ball mixed
foursomes. According to Mrs. Hughes,
no record of results has been pre-
served. but it was this tournament
that resulted In the general enthusi-
asn for golf that ended In the forma-
ton Of the Bismarck Country club.
Those participating in the tourna-
ment were: F. L. Conklin, O. N. Dun
ham, F. E. Shepard, william Chase

CHILD DROPPED
IN HOT BATH

When a tiny miss Of 6 years
tries to play, doll fashion, with
a baby of 2 years, almost anything
is likely to happen.
This was proved once more to-
day when little Jean Cannon, OF
1923 Argonne Pl. N. W., picked
her 2-year-old cousin, Harry
Adams, up in her arms and
dropped him, accidentally, into a
bathtub filled with scaldlng
water.
The infant was rushed to Chill
dren's Hospital and is likely to
recover, although suffering from
severe burns below the waist.
He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. Adams, jr., of 1862 D st.
S. W., while his cousin is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
j. Cannon. Mr.. Cannon plays
in the Fox Theater orchestra.

SNOW AND RAIN
END TODAY

The rain and snow fall which
visited the Capital last night and
today will probably end this after
noon, according to the prediction
of the United States Weather
Bureau.
The bureau forecast calls for
the rain to stop some time during
the day, but it will probably re-
main cloudy tonight, it is said,
with fair weather tomorrow.
Since about 6 o'clock last night,
the total rainfall has amounted
to .08 inch, according to Weather
Bureau officials. While this is
not a heavy precipitation, it will
prove of aid to the farmers around
the District, aiding further to dis
pei the fears of drought which
have been felt all winter.
There has been little change
in temperature.
