AUTHOR DIGS UP ‘HUMAN INTEREST’ GOLF YARNS

Mr. Martin Tells One About Early Linksman Who Used Pail of Ice to Get Results *Epic' Writer Also Recalls for Col. Joe, Story of Fellow Who Persisted in Putting With Billiard Cue; That Was Back in Days of Yonkers Club. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer NEW YORK. Fro. 12.—1 came upon Mr. Harry Brownloy Martin in the throes of an epic today, and I wish to state it was an awesome phenomenon. A strange fierce light burned in his eyes, his thin, gray hair stood or. end in the porcupine manner, his features were stitched with hard lines. . . . “I'm thinking.” he explained.

I surveyed Mr. Martin's misery and silently resolved this would be an enduring lesson for me, In the future I should never go in for

thinking in any form. The horrible dangers involved in thinking may be readily appreciated by the innocent bystander when it is revealed Mr. Martin's epic concerns nothing more profound or scientific than the. the festive game of golf. “It’s a sort of

hitman interest history of the game in America,” said Mr. Harry Brownlow Martin, better known to the fairway ferrets and bunker beagles as Dickie Martin. “It covers the fifty years’ existence of the game.” Started in Yonkers Mr. Martin should have added “more or less.” The precise age of American golf is a matter of speculation There is evidence of the game being played as early as 1795 in Savannah, Ga., and I talked with an old settler last spring at Sarasota, Fla., who convinced me the game was played in that city in 1885. The historians of the game, however, seem to have decided to agree the American game got its real origin at what is now known as the St. Andrews Club in Yonkers, N. Y. The records show that on Nov. 4, 1888 five men, paced by one John Reid, “the father of American golf,” played a six hole course on a vacant lot in this neighboring Manhattan city. Unlike the Savannah and Sarasota enterprises the Yonkers’ course lived on; it still funclions at the original stand and for continuity of existence is indisputably the oldest golf course in this country. Four Different Courses Lifting his haggard face from his epic for a few breathless seconds Mr. Martin says in the early months of the game there were four different courses in operation in the East, and each was looked upon by $ its sponsors as the first course in * America. “That's a fact,” insists Mr. Martin. “St. Andrews, Tuxedo, Shinnecock and Newport all thought they were pioneers. The newspapers didn't print golf news in those days and there wasn’t much fraternizing among the various groups of sportsmen, so these four early clubs moved along in blissful ignorance of one another.” Mr. Martin's epic goes back to the days when the hardy adventurers of the period played the game in skull caps and red blazers; when the sight of a gent toting a gunny sack of golf wands in public never failed to evoke derisive cries from the corner rowdies. Frozen Golf Balls Some of the episodes of that era are what might be cautiously characterized as rich. Mr. Martin recalls the time Willie Park, a visiting English pro pulled a fast one thigh inside) on his simple American cousins at the domestic St. Andrews course. Paired with an amateur he faced Willie Tucker, an American pro, and his amateur partner. From the start Park and his partner outdrove their opponents by many yards. It was observed that Mr. Park was attended by a caddy who carried a large zinc bucket. At frequent intervals Mr. Park—and his partner, too—would visit the bucket and perform mysterious rituals with their hands. Meanwhile they continued to outdrive their opponents. Curiosity soon disclosed the secret—a bucket filled with ice and frozen golf balls. This was back in the days of the putt a percha golf ball, which softened up and lost its delicate purity of line after a mild battering. The ice treatment kept the gutties hard, enabled then to fly far and true. Billiard Cue as Putter And then there was the incident of Mr. Richard Peters who persisted in putting with a billiard cue in the first national amateur championship ever held. As Mr. Peters saw it, putting and billiards had much in common and so. with no idea other than to approach a testing problem in the most practical manner, he discarded the putter in favor of his favorite billiard cue.

Yankees Take Fourth Place in Games Run U. S. Sledders Fall Behind as Swiss Glide to Victory. By United Pro* GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN. Germany, Feb. 12.—Piloted by Pierre Musi, son of the Swiss president, Switzerland, captured the highly coveted four-man bobsled title of the fourth winter Olympic games today. Musi was driver of the No. 2 Swiss sled w'hich had a total elapsed time of 5:19.85 for the four runs dow r nthe treacherous 5002-foot Mount Gudiberg course. Switzerland made dominance of the four-man event complete when its No. 1 bob. driven by the famous Reto Capadrutt, captured second place. This high ranking was made possible by establishment of anew course record of 1:18.61 on the final run which gave the Capadrutt bob a total time of 5:22.73. America s entries scored points in the unofficial standings when J. Hubert Stevens of Lake Placid, N. Y„ making his asserted final competitive run, piloted the U. S. No. 1 bob to fourth place, while Francis Tyler, also of Lake Placid, steered the No. 2 sled to sixth. All the American bobbers are popular with the winter sports enthusiasts. They were soundly applauded at the completion of their tests. Perfect strangers rushed up to pat them on the backs, and their fingers were stiff from prolonged autographing. “We had a close one at the Ritter Von Halt curve,” Stevens said. “We skidded terrifically but straightened out so soon that I doubt if we lost any time.” Biggest heroes of the event were, of course, Musi and Capadrutt. These daring drivers turned in consistently brilliant performances. There was but one mishap today. It came when the Rumanian No. 1 sled spilled while going out of the Bavarian curve. The bobbers were thrown clear of the sled and were uninjured. The favored Canadian hockey team, defending champion, came back from a. short slump to overwhelm Hungary today. 15 to 0. The Canadians were victims of a stunning upset yesterday when they bowed to Great Britain, 2-1.

Famed ‘Bobber’ Retires

Y.) bobsledding family, has made his last competitive race, he told the United Press today.

BY BERNARD HARMON AN all-time city record among feminine pin topplers was established last night when Goldie Maschino, rolling in the Spencer Case Ladies League at the Pritchett Alleys, assembled a 733 in her trio of games. It eclipsed the former high, a 709, posted by Eta Dawson in 1932,

Mrs. Maschino, whose average in two leagues is around the 155 mark, tossed games of 250, 230 and 253 to reach the pinnacle. Her teammates of the J. G. Glatt’s Drug quintet, supported her well in the first two games, but with the record series in sight, they evidently concentrated their efforts to cheering her on to the brilliant 253 windup. They dropped the final tilt by a five-pin margin. Results of other team clashes showed Miller Oldsmobiles as the Only three-time winners of the evening. They blanked Taylor Slip Covers. Double wins were taken by Threms, Charles H.
