A few years ago Portland had about a couple of hundred devotees of the sport. The remarkable growth of the game is attributed to the opening of the municipal course la Eastmore land. With the opening of the per. ssanent coarse on the Rose City speedway this summer, and plans oa foot tor the construction of a mu nicipal coarse on the Multnomah county farm, it is expected that there will be another marked increase la the number of players. Last Sunday oTer lot players teed off on the temporary nine-hole course at the Rose City speedway.

This is somewhat of a reversal from last winter when the play on southern courses brought out a number of players who performed well enough to be closely watched. Possibly the better golfers are postponing their southern trips until the fields work back further to the northward. Play during the Florida season has been good, but not startling. There has been plenty of golf for amusement and plenty of private matches. But so far. play has not been such as to shape play for possible contestants In the national feature events, so that they may start the season in top form. Players from the Middle West have been going quite well on the winter courses, but none stands out as a com petitor likely to stir things up in national championship. SELECTIONS of the teams of the Portland Golf club and the East moreland Golf club, which will tee-off In an 18-hole medal play competition next Sunday, were made Saturday by Dr. Thomas Watts and J.

It never occurred to me that way, but I guess you are right We do have leagues out here In golf and I think we are going to have many more. "It's like thla "You find four or five towns which are. close together where golf has caught on and then you get the clubs in the towns to form an organisation, just as if you were putting together a baseball Icarus.

The. further that I press my way down the avenues of time, armed with a driver on one shoulder and a putter on the other, the more X can convufce myself that there are some things that the United States doesn't know a whale of s lot about and golf Is on of them.

"If the team of Jonesboro defeats To- peka that is a game won and the reck oning goes on the percentage basis as it does in baseball You can draw up your schedule for any- number of games that you wish, playing; heme and home.

Feb. z5. There is a re 1 v port that women golfers will . be asked to go on record against official tampering with the present golf ball with a view of reducing its carrying quali ties. If so, the uprising will not be out of character with a fondness for lusty driving that is a marked characteristic of women's play. Men. too, are overly committed to the allurements of scream ing drives down the middle of a course, but as a class, they do not accentuate this department of the game so that Iron work and approach shots suffer. Women do, according to golfing Instructor- A woman doesn't fall so far below a man in driving as one might think. Ac cording to best information the woman player with a 12 or IS handicap aver age a carry of about ltO yards from the tee and a man of a similar handicap achieves about 130 yards. Miss Alex a Stirling, of course, has often got hi some tremendous drives, although It is not likely that any figures have been kept Just as Miss Cecil Leitch's longest carries have not been recorded.

Mass, where the! championship will be played this year, In the hope of capturing the crown. The Invasion will be beaded by Cyril Tolley. the former British tltJeholder. and Roger Wetbered, regarded as one of the best amateurs to England. It will be remem bered that he was tied with Jock Hutch ison in the British open championship last year. The full makeup of the team has not been announced yet but it is planned to send th best players in Great Britain to compete in the tourna ment WILI. TRY AGAIN It will not be the first time that Tolley and Wethered have tried for the Ameri lean title. They played here In 1920, at the Engineers' club, and failed to qual ify. This was a big disappointment to the British golfers. It was also one of the big upsets of the tournament While these two sterling players never offered any alibi for their failure to qualify. neverthelless both of them were ill. dur ing the tournament which made It im possible for them to show to advantage. The freak course over which the tour nament .was staged had also something to do with their poor showing. In order to get a low score at the engineers' course you must have an -abundance of luck. Xjuck counted for more than ability in the 1920 tournament WILL BE CONTEND EES ""While the British players will present a real menace at the tournament this year, nevertheless, the Americans should not encounter much trouble In repelling the invasion. They will have the ad' vantage of numerical strength ss well as playing under conditions with which they are acquainted. This is a big fac tor in a championship tournament The American golfers experienced this last year at Hoylake. There was no question of the superiority of the American en trants, but the advantage of numerical strength as well as playing under condi tions to which they were accustomed served them.td advantage. In the team matches the Americans triumphed over the British players, but when the tour nament got under way the forces beaded by William C Fownes Jr., faltered and they went down to defeat . There is some question as to whether or not Willie Hunter, th present Brit ish, title bolder will be aliigned with th forces of, the crown or whether he will be found In. the rnks ofTJncle Sam, is a matter which is being deliberated upon. Hunter made-a splendid showing in the tournament at St Louis last year and the plucky fight which he made single- handed against overwhelming odds was one of the outstanding features of the 1911 championship tournament He ad vanced to the semi-finals before he was toppled. Hunter is living in America now and is the representative of a Brit ish clothing, firm. Whether ha intends to maae wis nis permanent noma or not has not been announced by him. The British, and American golfers have virtually agreed upon the sugges tion of William C Fownes Jr.. of each country sending a team to compete In the international tournament on the alter nate years. Last year America invaded Great Britain, and this year the British golfers will come to America. They are advocating the adoption of a rule In England which will permit the gov-rn- ing bodies to raise a fund with whl.:i to defray the expense of a team to 'make the foreign Invasion.
