The trouble with tins high British thought, however, is that for a time after a lost match even the best plav- er doubts his own skill; it has un doubtedly failed in a great emer gency and hat not met a test of utility. But there i? a pleasure in a con sciousness of skill that no mere win ning can ever give, for golf is not a business with a deal to be put through at any cost at n certain mo ment, but a great sport, perhaps an art, in which a high average of abil ity gives an ever and increasing tente of pleature as the days go on. I suppose, furthermore, that most of us w'ill acknowledge that medal play demonstrates the highest skill in the game, while match play, not to be underrated, shows a business like quality of "getting there.” some time? regardless of the means. Tt demonstrates skill, of course, but riot always of the highest degree. It is a contest between man and man. where skill for skill’s sake frequently gives \va> to various experiences. If I were not afraid of being mis understood I should like to say that match play bears about the same re semblance to medal play that the "best seller" does to a oil or real literature. One is a triumph of the very ex cellent and useful American faculty of "getting there.” while the other, untouched at its best ay the condi tion of another man’s work, can be j made an approximately perfect ex ponent of mire skill: and the pursuit of the perfect round is the joy and the soul In golf.

Tho largest and best squad In some years has turned out for the fall prac tice at Fort McPherson, and under the coaching of Lieutenant Devore, who b considered by a number of gridiron ex perts to be the best tackle of bis time, an eleven to be feared by all contenders for Southern honors will probably be developed.
