This Game Of Golf Y . By O. B. Kceler As n contemporary magazine ro marks, editorially, the ranks of ama teur golf havo undergone some start ling changes In the last few months. George Von Elm has turned "bufii ncss man golfer" and has dono very well, thank you; something like $12, 000 at this writing, I believe. John ny Goodman has announced (ten tatively) that amateur golf was too expensive for him though he may conceivably feel more tenderly to ward the grand old game with Bobby Jones and Von Elm out of It. Per sonally, I think Johnny has one of the very best chances of being the next amateur champion, in tho event he has not pursued his tentative re tirement wlth'somo act Invalidating him. . ; . Jones has gone into tho movies, of course, and Harrison Johnston, na tional amateur champion of 1020, has turned Inventor, though that In no wise alters his standing as a dis tinctly amateur golfer. . Harrison has Invented a game called "Dart Golf," and they toll mo it is catching on Uko somebody's busi ness. It Is played on a target of a pleasant substance called insulitc, where the nolo is the bull's-eye, painted black; there Is a putting green about tho hole, and tho en tire affair Is sot up on an oasel, and you plug at It with darts. . Tho hazards call for various pen alties, and there Is a tiny red dot in the middle of tho black center, and If you hit that the first shot It's a holo In one. Hooray I You can ploy 18 holes or any othor number, at nyitch or modal; with or without syndicates and other ini quitous forms of wagering. Johnston has played Bobby Jones twice, defeating him 68 and 70 in a medal round, and losing to him 6-4 in a 36 hole match, which in dicates that the scoring is somewhoro within tho bounds of reason. By way of information, Just received from tho Pacific coast, where Imma ture golf got its greatest impetus, In dicates that a thin year Is coming up, and after that very llkoly no year at all. - Well, it was tho sort of fad that would run ouo big year and ono lit tlo one and then expire about like mah-Jong, for example. A friend of mine from Atlanta got In late to a big invitation tourna ment at Radium Springs last sum mer and was paired with a chap who had to rent a sot of clubs. Tho new comer seemed .not especially woll versed in tho game. As thoy wero leaving the sixteenth green, he asked i "Do you think we'll qualify in tho first flight." Tho Atlnntan said thoy'd have to buck up. if they did. At that stago, tho other fellow had used 120 strokes. "You know," ho confided, "I've never played regular golf before, but I'm tho Tom Thumb champion of Jackson. Georgia." STATE Today and Saturday NiT mmm mm i- m 9ULJUU2)U The Latest of Bob's Wows!
