Popularity Grows

But golf became a rich mans
game in the early nineties. There
was not single public links and
the upkeep of private ones had
mounted enormously. Players at
the swanky clubs began wearing
knickers, CATERS and plaid hose.
Golf didn't remain in the hands of
the 400 for long, however. BY the
end of the nineties Americans had
begun to get out into the open. By
the turn Of the century golf had
really become popular. In 1900 there
were about 1000 clubs in the United
States. There was at least one in
every state and public links began
to come in, where people could play
the game for a small fee.
As the game grew in popularity
changes In balls and clubs were nat
ural developments. Probably the
greatest Of these was the substitu-
ton of the rubber-cored ball for the
gutta-percha ball. This change
made it possible for the average
dub player of that day to begin to
drive with the best of the experts.
And because the rubber-c0red ball
had little effect on the game of the
top-fiighters, it increased interest in
the game all along the line.
BY the time the World war start
ed, America had 1000 golf courses.
Interest in the game was dimmed
somewhat during the war, but i'm
mediately afterward, in the 1920s it
began to come back with a vigor
that has endured to this day and
that has given it place Of univer-
sal interest among people Of all
ages and occupations. Golf has
grown up. 1t is great game and
a great business. But perhaps its
greatest appeal is that it is sport
in which the people themselves per-
form, instead of sitting in a grand
stand or stadium watching a big
league baseball game or a prize
fight.

Golf Courses
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

By GEORGE A. BARCLAY
NEXT time you drive one of the
tee at the country club, remem-
Der you're helping provide a job
for somebody. Maybe it will help
you get birdie. For golf has be-
come business as well as a game
Ia billion dollar business, in case
you're interested in figures. Hard
to believe? Well, not so hard, when
you consider that there are more
than 5000 golf courses scattered all
over America.
Uncle Sam has two-thirds of the
worlds golf courses, a large per
cent of which are located in rural
communities. Scarcely a town any,
where is more than a few miles
from links. And nearly every
body, whether he lives on Main
street or Riverside drive, has had
a golf club in his hands at one time
or another and knows who Bobby
Jones and Ralph Guldahl are.
This business of golf gives en-
ployment regularly to nearly half a
million men, including the people
who work at making golf balls and
clubs, building links, tending greens,
playing professionally and selling
gOlfng equipment. The nations
5000 links, including those in small
towns as well as big cities and TAX
ing in public courses as well as
private clubs represent an invest
ment in excess of 81, 900, 000, 900. So
it's perfectly plain that every time
you tee of, you're making a bust
ness contribution as well as an in
yestment in good health.
This game which has influenced
American habits, set new styles and
taken millions Of people out into the
open, harks back about so years.
The first golf links in the United
States was established near Yonk-
ers, N. Y, in 1888. The boys first
played in cow pasture. Then as
now it was a game of trials and
tribulations. Players were subject
ed to iibes and ridicule. Those who

In the early days the cost Of up
keep was naturally low. Records
kept by the first club show that only
$50 was invested in 1888 in cutting
the fairways, smoothing down the
green's and giving them an occa-
sional rolling. Dues amounted to
$40 a year. Caddies could be hired
for 80 cents q day.

PLEASE DON'T CROWD

FINE PLAYERS seldom :'crowd

will almost never see one jump
more than a single level on the
first round after the partner has
opened the bidding. That leaves
plenty of time and space for other
calls which may be very enlight-
ening as to exact distribution and
strength held. Such a single jump
guarantees enough total strength
for the side to reach at least a
game bid in something and re-
moves the need for hurry. Mini
mum calls thereafter are safe, be-
cause you know a good partner

FOUR NEW BALL PLAYERS MAKE
 BIDS FOR PLAY
Assignments to e.Made to
 Teams Next Week, from New Registrants

Heading the list of new ball play CTS to put forward their names for places on the line-ups of the three Gastineau Channel League teams are two diamond performers who showed briefly here last season.
 Otto McVey, who served here mos of last season in the capacity ot umpire, has forsaken the blue uni form in quest of playing togs, yes- terday registering at the office of The Empire his determination tC hold down an outfield post. McVey was L.~en by the playing bug near
 he end of last season when he was pressed into service one evening to fill out a short-handed Elks team.
 Another player signed up is Cor don Ferguson, who also took part in one game here near the end of las ;eason. Ferguson, an infielder, has high school experience and one sea- son with the Washington State Col ege Freshman team behind him.
 Rounding out the list of four play CTS signed up to date are Ray Carl son and Roy Fisher, both recent ar rivals in Juneau Carlson, a rangy young outfielder, performed las year in the uniform of the Crown Hill Athletic Club in the Seattle Community League. Fisher has eX perience both at first base and on the pitchers slab. He was formerly in the Eastern Washington Base ball League, playing with Medical Lake and with the Walla Walla Bears.
 With all three league teams still short-handed,s there is yet big need for more new ball players to ign up. All will be given a team assignment and fair trial of their diamond prowess.

The .oss Of Tex Hawkins, who has left Juneau, and Orin Addleman, trad sd to the Elks, will most likely make the Moose fight for a third straight flag consideraly tougher.
 Moose 1ntieId o. K.
 In the infield the Moose have no worries. First-sacker Joe Snow, sec ond- -baseman Fritz Schmitz, short patcher Jack Smitz and third base nan Joe Werner, the four members 1f last seasons tightest infield, are ial-back on the job, while Bert Beck, l newcomer touted as the goods" is set for a utility role, if he does not push one of the regulars to sidelines.
 The Moose outfield a.so should put no wrinkles in Manager McKin- non's brow. The batting power and ielding fleetness of Captain Stan Grummett, and Tom Martin are present, while last years hitting 3han2p, Hiding Haglund, should oe on hand to fill his old spot in plenty of time.
 Pitchers Are Winners
 Three winning pitchers from last season will carry on with the hurl- ing chores for the Paps, top-cnucker Johnny Smith being backed by his mates Bob Kimball and Clancy Con- verse. It is no secret that the Moose l noundsmen have been working out regularly for more than two months now. and that they expect to have the jump on the hitters.
 Manager McKinnon feels that he could well use another fair hurler to ease the duties on his corps and to- hold up the staff in case of injuries. Also, another hitting outfielder would be welcome; but, as it stands, the Moose team is set for battle.
