Show GOLF. Jack Taylor and Walker Salisbury are in the finals for the July leg of the Directors' cup, and the game today bids fair to be a very pietty, closely contested match. Taylor has come into his game rapidly the last two weeks, and the L August play will probably see him enjoying con- J" siderably less handicap. As it is now, Salisbury gives him two strokes, and Walker will have to get that long drive of his in operation fiom the starting line. Taylor is using a cleek almost as heavy as that spike driver Fred Hale swings with Buch disastrous results to the other fellow, and frequently lifts the gutty nearly 200 yards with it. Six players qualified for the first shy at the women's handicap cup. The finals will be played next Wednesday. Well, six is some, anyway; not so many as eight, but more than three, accoiding to brother's aiithmetic. The women complain sharply, ant) with good reason, at the condition of the tees, and the fact that no sand boxes are provided. Also they do not understand the reason rea-son for the women's tee for the second hole; all of which is respectfully referred to the greens committee for prayerful and hurried consideration. considera-tion. A suggestion: Wonder how a nine-hole match botween Bob Sloan and Pat Lannan would take with the gallery? Apiopos of nothing, Frank McGurrin tells ot a Portland gentleman with whom he played a number of times on his recent trip to that pretty little village. "When he stood sideways, you could see that he was somewhat, ah, bulger faced," said Mac, as he holed a 20 foot putt without smiling; "and he didn't care to tee Tils own ball. The caddy did that. I don't believe he could see the caddy, either, when ho Was moulding tho sandheap. Game sport, though, even if he did talk busted English. "My ball wass on der hay," he said, explaining explain-ing a six. "I subbose I could haf mofed der hay, und blayed der pall von der gr-r-round. But 1 tidn't. I blayed it von der hay, und I fizzled it." "Now, ven I gets to der glubhaus," he volunteered volun-teered further, "I am going to haf a nice long dr-r-rink of vater." Water! And he drank it, too. The greens are beginning to show the results of weeding and lolling. Tom Moiris used to say there was nothing so good for greens as plenty ot good sand and the tramping of human feet, and the local gieens are getting both now. As a consequence con-sequence a putt goes true occasionally. Play for the men's July handicap cup Is scheduled sched-uled for today and tomorrow. A. W. C. |
