( ■CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—The other
morning as I was seated at my
^ desk a prominent goiter came
to see me. His eyes were beaming
»nd Hs whole person seemed an em
bodiment of health, and this fine
physical condition, he assured me,
was the crowning result of two fine
days of December golfing weather,
which he had enjoyed to the utmost.
Not only had he played golf all the
/ hours of one of those beautiful De-
, pother days, hut he had also dreamed
it through the night, and the dream
was so real that he had difficulty in
separating it from the events of his
waking hours.
It seemed that on a rare December
dav he found himself standing, In
company with all the golfers of all
the clubs of Chicago, at the last tee of
the Midhomechicedgexview Club. On
this marvelous day that seemed to
have been stolen from late October,
the sun -a half-circle of fire—was
just sinking in the west and on the

ther side of the heavens a big white
moon was coming up.
O N the eastern horizon the soft glow
of the moonlight contrasted with
thp brilliantly resplendent hues of the
sunset, while high above the blended
colors of the two great luminaries
shone the marvelous blue of the sky
and underfoot was grass of midsum
mer greenness. The. atmosphere was
cool and clear and every object was
sharply outlined, and with the com
ire of sunset the winds had quieted
and the trees were still. In this
scene of peace and calm the assem
bled golfers were standing at the last
toe of the last game of the year.
As each man walked up to the tee
he realized the solemnity of the occa
sion and played his final drive with
careful deliberation. One by one the
drives ( racked loudly in the clear air
and by the time the last shot was
played the sun had disappeared and
the whole course was flooded with the
white light of the moon. Just as the
countless army of golfers were about
to start for their second shots, Mr.
Lone Pitcher of Midlothian, who was
standing a little apart from the
group, spoke:

EXTLEMBN of the Midhnme-
chicedgexview Club, look about
you.’ Above us is all the beauty of
the heavens, and stretching out in
every direction is the intimate beauty
of the course, but I beg you to ob
serve at your feet the shining disks*
of gold that strew the green of the
fairwey. Here, there and everywhere
we see them. When we begin our
first golf in the spring the little gold
en circlet is there to welcome and
encourage us and in the last game of
the season it is still with us. At all
times, in various garbs and various
places, it smiles upon us. and. like the
golfer, It never dies. The English
man has his rose, but us season is
brief. The Scotchman has his thistle,
but it is rarely seen; our own little
flower Is with us almost the whole of
the year.
"Gentlemen. I move that we adopt
the dandelion jas the national emblem
of the golfers of America!”
A short silence followed the speech,
broken quickly, however, by R. C.
Sammons and John J. Abbot, who
seconded the motion, which was car
ried with great acclamation. Then
each golfer went to his ball to play
his second, and as the last shot of the
last golfer died away in the clear,
bright moonlight, every golfer van
ished. leaving the links alone with
the little dandelions.
This is the dream as told to me.
and I ask the opinion of golfers con
cerning it. There is an unsenti
mental side to the question, of which
every greenkeeper can cell us some-
tiling. We trust the dandelion can be
taught due respect for the putting
green.

T HE way we understand it, this
bogus base hit thing is nothing
very new. Back in 1899 Nick Young,
then president of the National
League, Sanctioned it on the sugges
tion of somebody whom we recall as
Harry Von der Horst. Harry Pul
liam repudiated it, and for years it
slumbered ignobly, disturbed only by
the bloody battles fought by Jack
Ryder over its alleged uses

ster was a debutante last season, and
played great ball with the Syracuse

a thorough try-out next spring. As
he has only four other catchers on
his crew, it may be seen that the
youthful Mr. Munch will fall into a
flowery bed of ease when it comes to

As to Mr Esmond, he undoubtedly
would be a good player in this
league. The trouble Is. Billy also is
angling for Cozy Dolan, if the big
leaguers will waive on him. which is
uncertain. And if Bill should hook
both Esmond and Dolan there would
be the making of a highly, mingled
situation, to say nothing of old friend
