MASHIE IS THE MOST POPULAR GOLF CLUB

That the mashie is the most popular golf club Is ttfe opinion of Dr. W. S. Harban of Washington, who is vice president of the United States Golf association. Drivers, brassies, mid-irons and putters have been sent to camps with great generosity, but mashies have not been forthcoming. Doctor Harban, who originated this plan of giving the enlisted men an opportunity to practice swings at odd moments wherever there happens to be a stretch of convenient country, says that this settles the question which has been argued so often at the nineteenth hole exclusively. Hereafter It Will be assumed that to the majority of golf enthusiasts, the mashie is the hardest club to part with.
