LINKS SACRED
In America soon after golf had caught on with the public, a man named Picard was arrested and charged with “giving golfers the razz” as they were driving at the first tee in Lincoln Park, Boston. In defence Picard said, “They are really humorous, I only labghed out loud at some of them.”
But the judge knew what even a sneeze could do while a difficult shot is being played, In discharging Picard he gave him some advice: “A golfer, of all people, must have conditions conducive to concentration. Laughing aloud as they are about to drive' upsets them. To lessen chances of profanity, ,they must not bo unduly disturbed: let the links be sacred.” —Chicago “Tribune.”
Two brothers Spence, Don and Arthur, met in the final of the professional golf championship of New South Wales. It .was the first time they had met in match-play. Don, 22 years of age, and stockily built,, beat Arthur, 26 ..years 'of ' age, slim, and the more graceful player, by four up and three to play. The £ anle was full of incident. ~
