Clerks Error Brought
Golf To Americans

BOSTON-UP-A clerks error In
shipping golf clubs instead OF crick-
ct equipment from England to
Boston sporting goods store in 1890
first brought the ancient Scottish
game to New England.
The clubs and dozen golf balls
were placed as oddities in the store
window until a British visitor no
ticed them and explained the game
to John Smith of Belmont, one OF
the youthful clerks, who will cele-
brate his S0th birthday this May.
A few days later Smith obtained
necessary permission from a puz.
zled park commissioner and laid out
the first golf course on some grassy
fields at Franklin Park.
With three friends, Smith shot
around the snow-patched course and
took double-figure scores on each
hole. After the first round Smith
told his wife he didn't think the
game would prove successful in
America, because there's too much
walking and hill-climbing to It."
