Tillinghast, constructor Of many
championship courses, believes the ef-
forts of greens committees should be
directed toward alienation of the
troubles of the duffer and not toward
improvement Of courses, which will
aid the good golfer 1.-THE good shot
maker can take care of himself" he
says, "but the duffer afflicted with a
slice or other ailment shouldn't also
have to worry about a flock of traps
placed just where his 160-yard shot
down the middle is sure to stop. We
have been approaching this thing
from the wrong angle.
Instead Of making the courses hard
for buffers, we should make them easy
for buffers and hard for the leading
players, which means that more pre-
MUM should be placed on accurate
approach shots and on putting"
Tillinghast, who visited several of
the local courses yesterday, said the

for Standardization of golf courses. He
will come back in the Spring to talk
with the Middle Atlantic pros at a

A s YOU already know, Rattles
n the Kingfsher had not gone
~ to the Sunny South. He
4 n hadn't planned to stay North
through the Winter. The trouble was
that he had procrastinated. Don't
you love that world You know, 1t
means that he had kept putting the
start OF from day to day. People
who put things of are called procras-
tinators. The result was that Rattles
the Kingasher had been trapped. Yes
sir, he had been trapped.
Who had trapped him? Why, Jack
Frost, of course. Jack Frost had
frozen over all the fishing places for
such a long distance south that Rat
ties did not dare try to reach the
nearest open water. He had started
once and turned back. There was
open water In one or two places in
the Laughing Brook where the latter
ran swiftly; too swiftly for Jack Frost
to turn the water to ice. And there
was another open place that was fed
by springs.
"I suppose I'm lucky to have open
water at ALL" said Rattles to himself.
There's only one thing to do and
that is to stay right here. I do hope
that the Laughing Brook viii stay
open all Winter and that the supply
Of fiSh win last. I made q mistake
In staying so long, but somehow I
just couldn't leave the good fishing.
Here's hoping it viii last. Perhaps I
can catch a Mouse now and then, al
though with so many looking for Mice
I'm afraid won't have much chance. I"
As was the case with Reddy Fox,
it was much easier for Rattles to get
q good living in the Summer than
1t was likely to be in the Winter. You
see, while he is very fond Of fish, and
lives very largely on fish, he does eat
some other things. In Summer he
likes q Frog now and then, but there
were no Frogs now. He has been
known to eat grasshoppers, but, of
course, there were no grasshoppers
now. There are water beetles and
other water insects with which he
varies his bill Of fare in warm weather.
None of these were to be found now.
He would have to depend almost
wholly on fish.
Rattles sat on q limb Just above
the black, swiftly running open water
Of the Laughing Brook over In the

tened on that water. He could see
into the water as you and I would
not be able to see. He was watching
for his breakfast. He was silent and
motionless. He was hungry. Fishing
hadn't been too good the day before,
and so far this morning he hadn't
been able to catch fish. There were
fish down In that black. cold water
He knew it. 1t was q matter of pa
tience, and Rattles has the patience
of the true fisherman. Sooner or later
he would see one Of those fish.
At last a gleam of anticipation
shone in the eyes of Rattles. He fiew
out from his perch, hovered an in
slant above the water, started to
plunge down. checked himself, and,
rafting his disappointment, flew back
to his perch. That fish had been too
big, and that was quite as exasperat-
ing as it was disappointing. That
fish was so big that Rattles could not
possibly have caught it. He resumed
his patient wait. BY and BY there
came another opportunity. I suspect
it would have made you shiver to
see Rattles plunge head first into
that black, cold water. However,
he didn't mind it. You see, his
feathered coat is waterproof, and un-
derneath that waterproof outer coat
was warm underwear. Yes. sir, he
had q good warm suit Of under
wear on.
He was under water only q second.
He came out with Trout In his
mouth. It was a 6-inch Trout and
it was a lively Trout. Rattles fiew
up over the treetops. He would take
this Trout over to a favorite feeding
place of his. That Trout didn't want
to be carried to q favorite feeding
place. He squirmed. He wriggled.
He tried to flap and flop. He was
slippery. Rattles did his best to hold
on, but, in spite Of all he could do,
that Trout slipped out of his bill and
down he fell; down through the tops
of the pine trees to land on the
ground with a thump. Rattles was
too disappointed even to make sound.
He kept right on. but presently turned
and went back to resume his watch
for fish. There was nothing else to
do, for he must have breakfast.
Why didn't he go down on the ground
and pick up that fish again? Because,
even as he dropped it, he caught q
glimpse Of Reddy Fox.

TINE air was charged with milt

TINE air was charged with q mild
expectancy when we drove up
to the meeting place, Mr.. Chill
= tons gate. Only few people
had mounted and were walking in slow
circles, warming up. Some stood be-
side their horses, supervising the ad-
justment of tack, while others gath
cred in little groups. chatting aim
lessly and amiably. Now and then a
groom disappeared into one of the
cavernous vans and emerged with a
horse, walking stiff-legged down the
ramp. At intervals Car rolled up
a man or woman In riding clothes
stepped out, strolled over to join a
conversation, or set about looking for
certain horse.
We say an air Of expectancy in
fused these leisurely proceedings be-
cause there is no such thing in Vir-
ginia as a hunt meeting without an
aura of excitement about it. No
doubt our own sense of the piquancy
of the hour was heightened by the
fact this was to be our first day with
the Warrenton Hunt, but even those to
whom the morning light, the country
side, the faces, the horses, are IA
miliar as an old shoe, invariably feel
a tremor of anticipation in that half
hour just before hounds move of.
Open Fields Inviting.
THERE before them lie the open
rolling fields, stretching to distant
coverts, the faraway dens where a
hunted fox may seek refuge. This
may be, after all, the day of the sea-
sons biggest run, of the most his
toric chase in all the hunt annals.
Who may foresee these things? Three,
four hours hence, the fresh horse one
is about to mount may stagger in
YEARLY behind a victorious pack, be-
hind the relentless hounds that have
brought down their quarry, outwitted
and outrun the fox that carried them
miles and miles across hill and valley,
gorge and meadow.
1t may sound melodramatic to say
that hunting people go around with
their heads filled with such fantasies
but actually it is unlikely that any one
who has got foxhunting deep in the
blood could approach meeting on q
fine morning without precisely those
ideas flashing, at least dimly, into
mind. And the day of which we speak
was one to conjure up dreams. 1t was
a trifle nippy, the thermometer prob
ably around AZ at that hour, with
skies slightly overcast and clearing
but not rapidly enough to endanger
the moisture in the atmosphere. The
going underfoot was superb, cushioned
yet not soft. On every side lay peer
less open country, the fields connected
by innumerable panels, the woods
pierced by lanes and cross-paths.
They say that perfect settings and
scenting do not inevitably make for
a great hunt. Luck, the whims Of a
fox and a dozen other elements enter
into that magical creation. The day
that developed out of this background,
this lovely Virginia morning, was not
an historic one. 1t was more sig
nificant in implications than events.
Yet those who stayed until the end had
meat for lively small talk when they
returned.
A bit after 10 o'clock we were all
ahorse and hounds moved away, draw
ing a covert adjoining Mr. Chilton's.
The field idIed along in the wake Of
Amory S. Carhart, the M. F. H. Com
ing out into the open again, the lead
