Plans Made on Pacific Coast
to Inspire Boys to Meet
Under Tournament Con
ditions on the Links
.
By SPICK HALL
JUS how deeply rootctl into Amer
ican sports golf hns hrcomo i. dem
onstrated by the recent nnnoiinrerarnt
that the clubs in California arc bark
of the movement to hold an annual
boys tournament for the championship
of the Golden Stnte. This idea is by
no means new in the Knst. Here in
Philadelphia there is nn annual junior
championi-hip affair. The fart that
these native sons are indorsing the
youth of their state to take up so!f at
an early age means that thev lime come
to realize the fact that the Scottish
game is here to stay, and that the best
way to make champions is to school
them as soon as they arc able to swing
a club.
Although two of the world's greatest
folfcrs, Harry Vardon and Jim Braid,
are uell advanced in age, that is no
reason why the jouth should not
aspire to the pinnacle on the links.
Will Replace Other Sports
There is no doubt that the next gen
eration in this country will see virtu
ally all the titles held In younger men
than those who hold them now The
reason is obvious. Thousands of boys,
encouraged by their parents and friends.
Trill take up golf where they otherwise
would have been playing baseball nud
football exclushely. When these boys
have reached the age to play in adult
tournaments champions are certain to
be among them.
The remarkable ability of Bobby
Jones and" Perry Adair, the Atlanta
youths, is an example of what the fu
ture is certain to bring in golf. Wheie
we have two youthful wonders of the
links today, we will have hundreds
tomorrow, and the number is going to
increase just as certnin as the game
spreads.
Earlj- Development
Just what is being done on the west
ern coast is shown by the following
from a Del Monte, Calif., publication:
"Del Monte is laying plans to put on
a title tournament for youngsters under
fifteen years of age over the Thanks
giving Day holidajs.
"On the occasion of the Julj i tour
nament, when 107 entries were re
ceived for the men's events, theip were
six or seven boys who got into the com
petition. Two of these joungsters , L,
t. Harris, of New York, fourteen cars
old. and Ashton Stanlej, of Del Monte,
thirteen cars old, got into the finals of
tie sixth flight. Some of the men
contestants did not f.inr the idea of
playing against mere lads and theie
were a couple of defaults. The annunl
Independence Da tournament here us-
uallv finds the older men landing in the
sixth flight and their play is more of the
social natuie thnn serious golf effort.
The objection was based on the fact
that the bojs did not make good com
panions in the rounds of the links. The
lads understand all the rules nnd the
etiquette of the links, but snint of the
men did not fane the idea.
July 4 Meet
"All agreed, however, that the bos
should be encouraged in taking up golf
at an earh age. The only means of
developing into good plajers is tluo'ugh
the medium of serious competition.
The scheduled bojs' championship is
therefore the outgrowth of the July 4
tournament. Two ears ago an event
was staged for bojs and girls at Del
Monte, and it proved quite a success.
Several of the players at that time have
since grown into the ranks of men and
are now holding their own.
"The bojs' championship will be
looked forward to ns a developer of
championship mateiial. It will be the

"Our operations call for the very best

perimented with four of the leading
makes of tires, and of these have found
GOODRICH DE LUXE TRUCK TIRES
the best investment we have made in
tires.
"I have just taken off a set of Goodrich
De Luxe Tires that gave over 23,000 miles
on the front of a truck and I am going to
put them on the rear of one of our pick-up
trucks. They are good for 3,000 miles.
"We believe that the high profile De
Luxe Tire is the only tire for the good of
the truck, and gives a greater mileage per
gallon of gasoline, with fifty per cent more
wearing surface."
