Cares and Worries Keep Many
Players Off Links, Says Evans.
. Duty Placed Before Pleasure.
: By “Chick” Evans.
C HICAGO, June 2.—When a busi
ness man- ia also a golfer, do
J you think he is likely to place
the game before his means of liveli
hood? If he is a married man, ig he
dikely to stroll out to the links on
houdays. not for his own pleasure,
‘but in order to allow the other mem
ber of his family an opportunity to
enjoy the wholesome pleagures of sol
jtude”
" 18 it possible, while considering this
subject, to work up a little sympathy
for a bond salesman, who also plays
A little golf, and whose business keeps
Bim on the street, where all the
rYempting signs of spring are in evi
dence?
This pacticular individual wakens
®ome fine morning and sees through
his window the clear blue of the sky.
Long experience in forecasting hag
made himm something of a weather
prophet, and his one idea of the
proper way to enjoy that miracle of
nature—a perfect spring day--is out
on a golf course,
Another glance out of a window and
he sees Harry Grund, a neighbor,
taking a swing at a dandelion, and
he immediately recalls the thousands
of shots he has tried out in almost
exactly the same way. In the corner
of the hall downstairs stand a club
and two balls, ancient implements of
the game, that he was accusiomed to'
hit together 256 times each morning
before starting to school. Those days
now seem as far away as the middle
ages.

OUR bond salesman starts resolute
ly for the Rogers Park statlon;
Just outside the door he sees a cad
die, Shaky by name, on his way to
the Edgewater golf course; across
the street some little children are gay
g bouncing golf balls. At the sta
on he finds golfers l-?}tnl)‘. Judge
Ben Smith strolls up an remarks, “A
‘Ane day for golf,” and the poor sales
man, who also plays golf, agrees with
B great desire in his heart. Pretty
soon he finds himself in a seat' be
side J. R. Cardwell, whq mentions
casually that he made 41 on the first
nine yesterday. He tries diligently
o think of at least one prospective
bond buyer, but his chain of thought
18 interrupted by overhearing a (gn
‘wersation In the course of which J.
‘W. Moulding is explaining to G. M.
McConnell what a fine plaver Rd
Moore would be if he only had a lit
tle finishing off. At the end of the
Journey T, P. Hallinan is seen leaving
the front car; he, however, does not
speak 1o our sorely tried salesman,
but he waves his hané and points to
the sky.
!
THE elevator boy in the Continen
tal Commercial Building says,
"Going out into the fields today?"
When our salesman escapes from
the elevator he runs for his office, and
he wonders If, on a bright spring
morning, there is a single thing in
the whole city of Chicago that does
not remind a golfer of golf.
Verily the golfer who turns his back
on the pleasures of the links on a
rarely beautiful spring day deserves a
reward. 1 wonder what it ought to be
