( ■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 SAT - V/HEN THAT STATUE COMES -BStthf, IT RK.HT UP* TnE.

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: POLLY AND HER PALS Pa Is In For It Now, All Right WVl6oNt it! il -TELL V'J DCNT NU7HIW’ OF C "The Kiwd! j Am, PA Ybu Do Co! j M/1 ALW'fc TEU.S { Vou WH/TJ Cut 6E1$ MF for Chri^tM/4^ ! 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. Jaurez Results /tlMT I JOLE VoU A million Times I D0NT KNOW NO MOR'?J Vt>9 DO 2 Sc AW.

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 Then Ban Johnson put the weight of his power and prestige back of this quaint little friend of the feeble hit ter.' And it became a go. being oathed resoundingly, but nevertheless scored for a couple of seasons. T HP: Baseball Writers’ Association. having adopted it en n asse out of deference to B. Johnson's well- known tender feelings, repudiated it individually, to a grievous extent. To be plain, they knocked the C. H. much harder than any frantic* bats man in a pinch lambasted the hit that was? so scored. But at the recent meeting. with about 10 per cent of the membership present, the B. B. writers ducked the issue and decided to take a vote on it by mail. before the B. B. writers say their will—or after it, either. Personally, we don’t care for the Cincinnati wallop. \17E note with mixed emotions the ** acquisition by the Crackers of Julian Munch, a youthful backstop, who also should be a corking good table man, and the reasonably fair chance for B. Smith to capture Jim my Esmond, formerly third saeker for the unfortunate Cincinnati Reds. pi^ARK GRIFFITH slips us Munch ^ with the official O. K. of Mike Ka- hoe, Senatorial scout. The young ster was a debutante last season, and played great ball with the Syracuse team. Billy has much faith in Ka- hoe’s judgment, and will give the kid 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 scrapping for a job—what? 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 Salary Limit kicking in. We wish Billy luck, however.
