GOLF CLUbL|M|T

Covers Game of Duffer and
Expert Whether In or
Out of Tourney.
By w. r, McCALLUM,

"OP GOLFERS OF the land have
become reconciled to the edict
Of the United States Golf AS
4 sociation that no more than
IA clubs may be used after January
l. 1888. The squawking which greet
ed the ruling a little less than a
year ago has completely stopped. and
throughout the land golfers are trim
ming down their kits until most of
them now are under the limit.
Nor is the 14-club rule effective only
in United States Golf Association
tournaments. 1t covers the game of
golf as it is played by expert and duff
fer alike, in and out of competitive
play. To make it more concrete here
is the way the U. S. G. A. edict reads
The preambles to the rules of
golf have been amended, to read as
follows: The game of golf consists
in a ball being played from, the teeing
ground into the hole by successive
strokes, with clubs (not exceeding
IA in number) and balls made in
conformity with legal specifications. "
Motives Of Ruling.
0BJECTIVES sought by the 14-club
rule are: relief to caddies from
unfair burdens; reductions of delay
in play, as the players will spend less
time in deciding what club to use;
and to give players who cannot af-
ford an unlimited supply of clubs an
opportunity to compete with others
on a more equal basis.
Nowhere among the local pro bri-
gade nowadays, will you find man
with more than IA clubs in his golf
bag. The Washington pros started
months ago to trim their equipment
down to come within the legal limit.
The amateurs also have discarded all
unnecessary clubs and most of them
now play with only IA clubs. So the
rule actually is in effect right now,
long before the time limit
The 1888 sets of matched clubs are
coming through in 8-club iron sets
and 4-club wooden sets. These, with
the sand-wedge and the putter, make
up the IA clubs legal for use after
January /. Greeted last winter with
a chorus of "boohs" and walls from
many of the top pros the 14-club
rule now is accepted. It's a good
thing for the game.

He needed ga on the last two
holes in the last round of the Chi

chance at first place. The tee on
the seventeenth hole is on a hill,
the green is across a lake, about 1853
yards. The hole is par 3.
Paul got a nice shot. Then he
walked down the hill and around
the lake DTS fully 500 yards
around and fought his way
through the gallery to where his
ball lay on little beach. 1t looked
like an easy pitch for a sure par.
Paul figured his lie, then looked
UP to select club. When he looked
down again the ball was gone. A
wave had swept it into the lake"

the chase for big-game fish. Paul has
caught plenty big blue marlin, holds
world record for the smaller COM
mon white marlin, set two years ago
off Ocean City, Md, and also holds a
world record for blue-fin tuna, set last
September near Wedgeport, Nova
Scotia.
Three days before the international
tuna matches were to start in Sep
tember he landed II tuna between 4
o'clock in the morning and noon, all
the fish going over $50 pounds. That's
a mans work, for these fish travel
fast and far.
Townsend pioneered the white mar

method of hooking sailfish, set records
that will stand for years.

Paul Townsend, 200-odd pounds of
husky man, veteran angler who
knows all the tricks Of landing the
mammoth battlers of the ocean, is
taking his cruiser Jacpau on a trip to
Barranquila, Cuba, during the coming
winter to seek a new marlin record.
The present world record for blue mar
lin stands at 636 pounds. This i3-
foot fish, stronger than horse and
faster than War Admiral, was landed
at Bimini, British West Indies, two
years ago by Tom Shevlin, New York
youngster. Many big blues between
$50 and 500 pounds have been landed
in the Gulf Stream around Bimini
where the stream narrows down to
around 50-mile width before tanning
out for its northern travel
Lacking definite information on the
breeding places anv habits of the
marlin, sport fishermen, without aid
from science, have figured that marlin
OF the white and blue varieties breed
somewhere near the hole in the
ocean," spot north of Cuba, where
water as deep az $4,000 feet has been
charted. Cuban market fishermen,
drifting with mackerel bait as deep
as $50 fathoms, have handlined tre-
mendous marlin, weighing, when
dressed, as much as 1000 pounds.
Such fish would 60 far beyond present
world records, but none of these big
fish, so far as is known, have been

Nor is it known whether the Cuban
black marlin is an aging variety of

really is of an opal hue, runs larger
