Some Remarks in the

any of tho suggestions ot tho agitators
will ex-er be adopted, their thoughts upon
tho subject make Interesting reading. To

One writer sug
gests that tho cup
should bo made
larger, nnd I, too,
think that this
would aid In this
elimination of the
d lap roportlonate
value placed upon
the work of the
putter. I think it
was Travcrs that
....... i-a ruAva ligurea out tnai
putting was '45 per cent of tho game. I
think It probably ls about that proportion,
but surely It was not the Idea of tho old
Scotch golfers that such should be tho
case. Very likely, however, larger cups
would permit occasional approach putts to
be holed, and badly hit shots would go In,
and scores In the sixties would be easily
possible. ,
It would eliminate the accuracy of the
putting stroke, and give more importance
to the second shots the real master stroke
of the game. It xvould make the play of
the best golfers and would take axvay the
really beautiful silence that envelops the
putting green at critical moments. The de
llghtful uncertainty of tho gamo the gal
lery tension, the defeat of the, expert by
the Inferior player whohas developed un
expectedly a wonderful putting streak and
other happenings of like nature would all

PIAYGOLF'
Premium on Putting
triumph ox-er tho cruel fates of tho put
ling green Vx'hat could xvo golfers talk
uhout and golf ls n very conxcrsatlonal
game when a round Is om o ended If
the Btrange, the freakish happenings on tho
putting green w-ere taUen from us? Tho
missing of short putts hns drixtn many a
man to a condition bordering nn Insanity
nnd It has given mo many a deep xx-nund,
but I must confess that It nddH to tho In
terest of tho game. Tho picture of a man
measuring a missed txxo-foot putt Is full of
meaning.
These facts being as they nre, let us
first try to perfect our putting, for It Is a
part of the game. It Is not the whole
thing, however, for golf Is a big game
played over n long stretch of country with
many big masculine strokes, and the little
performances on tho putting green aro only
a part of It,
Decreasing Greens' Space
For that reason I have thought the un
fair ndx'antago given so frequently tn the
putter might be remedied by decreasing the
size of the greens. If they xvero made, say,
twenty feet square (of course no really
square lines are seen on a modern golf
course), the second shot, tho "cut" and
push shots would Increase In proportion,
and tho long, sixty-foot, snaky putts from
the edge of the green xvould disappear.
This would ba calculated to bring about a
more nearly fair condition than the en
largement of the cup and xvould not destroy
the ancient Ideas of the game.
It would demand extra care of the
.ground In front of the green, but would
cut down the expense of the greens, an
ex pernio that has been groxvlng rapidly in
proportion to the generosity of their sire.
I love the old game, Just as It was handed
down, and I hope some time to be beaten
by a golfer who does not xvln his match on
the putting green. Clock golf ls Interest
Iftg, so la croquet, but neither call in play
the big strokes ot the gamo,

THi: Golf Association of Philadelphia has
a lot of dlxcrslflcd tournaments during
the seasnn, but thero Is no more popular
exent than the fnthcr-nnd-son tourney.
So far ns It Is known some ono out In ("hi.

xxas held out thero for sex'eral jears before
It xxns Introduced hero And for live vcars
no motion of tho Kant other than Philadel

placed It in the rtgulnr list of exents tho

So far ns Philadelphia Is concerned there

Daughter I'lays
A fexv j ears ngo an enthusiast from Unla

daughter that cm play good golf persuaded
the golf association to change tho exent so
that nny c mibln.iti"ii of pnrent nnd child
X"ero pitslble .So tlio association agreed to
this. Hut It did not prox-o a success, for
tmny of the f.xtheis said they xxould bo
hanged If they xxould play In anv tourna
ment xvhere women xxero permitted to play.
So the parent and child tournament did not
last moro than a year Tho namo was not
n happy one Some of tho bearded sons did
not like to bo dubbed a child and some
