Tn limes Ilk thM, whin aeareely a
day puMa without Mm were! et thU
pr that well known golfer's connection
with war attain, tha part played by
women la apt to be overlooked. It'a a
fact though, that Ktaa Margaret Curtta
et Beaton, aevera times national aad
Massachusetts champion, and X lag Aleia
Stirling, the Atlanta girl who at present
Mds the United States Oolf Association
title, are now doing their part, aa are
Many other women af leas prominence.
Mlia Curtis haa been In Franc (or
pome time, and la aaaoclata director of
tho American Had Croaa Bureau of
TUfogees and Belief. In speaking of her
Work recently Misa Curtla aak).
"We are moving refugee families out
of the crowded, stuffy little furnished
rooms where they now have to live and
pay high rent, because they have no
furniture, no household goods at alt with
which to equip a home for themselves
In better quarter. Their plight Is moat
pitiful.
"They were driven out of their homes
because the Invaders Omollihad them;
fleeing to Paris, theso refugee are ob
ject of compassion. But they , need
much more, than pity. They need help,
and w are trying our best to give them
n good deal of It. Within a short tuna
nt hope to have built portable house
near Parle, where It will be easy to get
land rent free."
The bureau Is an Integral part of tha
American Red Croaa In Franca, and
- those In charge ate alt Americarut. Aa
far back aa 1900 Miss Curtla haa been
prominent in tha golfing world, for that
year at Shlnnecock Hilts aha waa runner
tip to Ml France flrlwom for the na
tional title. Klvo yeara later, at Moma
County, she duplicated this feat, losing
to Mies Pauline Mackay, now Mrs. Brace
8mlth. The following year, at Bras
Burn, Miss Harriot Curtla captured the
coveted title, 'and It war not until 1907
that Mlsa Margaret won, defeating her
later Harriot by T up and to play on
tha Midlothian links.
MIm attrtlBg la Service.
It waa four yeara later that aha
again became tho national champion,
defeating Miss Ll'lUn Hyde at the Bal
tusrol Golf Club by S up and t to
pUy tn the final. Both of tha women
on that occasion were extremely long
off the tee, but Mlaa Curtla'a abort game
waa better than Mlaa Hyde's.
In 1913 Mlaa Curtla again waa the
victor, defeating Mrs. Ronald H. Bar---low
in the decisive round by J and S.
Of late the Boston woman haa not de
voted much time to golf, aa she haa
been In France for many months. On
one occasion aha waa a partner on tha
winning team In tha national champion
tennis tournament.
So far .is Miss Stirling Is concerned,
tho Atlanta girl has enlisted la the
Jfntlonnl league for Women's Service
and la learning how to doctor an ante
mobile and drill tike an Infantryman.
.,-A regular army officer haa been de
tailed from Camp Oordon to drill the
-r women,' and Mlaa Stirling has dreams
of reaching French aolt within a short
time.
The present title holder, while not
a prominent nearly so long aa Mlaa Cur
tis, is an equally finished artist. It
v. as in tha championship at Nassau In
1911 that the Atlanta girl began to at-
- tract attention, and It waa noticed then
that her style bore a strong resemblance
to that of Stewart Maiden, from whom
she took Instruction. Juat the same,
Mlsa Stirling lost In the first round to
Mies Georglanna M. Bishop, an erst
while champion, alwaya hard to beat
Lack of experience militated aa much
as anything else against the chances
of the Southern girl at Nassau, but she
was better prepared for the ordeal tn
th meeting a year later over tha links
of the Ontwensla Club at Lake For
est. IIL it waa not until tha semi
final round that Mlaa Stirling met de
feat, though only after a gruelling twenty-two
holo match with Mra. C. H. Van
derbeck of Philadelphia. Three putts
on the decisive green ended Mlsa Stir
ling's chances.
Mnny Others Doing Their Bit.
There waa no denying thla player the
following year at Belmont Spring, how
ever. In the second round she defeated
Mips Elaine Rosenthal, one of the favor
lies', and in the final proved too steady
for Miss Mildred C&verly, on of the beet
nf the many good women golfers devel
oped in the Philadelphia district.
Nearly everywhere women are devot
ing their encrgtea In one form or another
to tho common cause. Over Boston
way they are practically a unit with
their Red Croaa work. The Women'a
Western Rolf Association haa turned
over tho money In Its treasury toward
equipping ambulances.
Miss Ellen Uackay, youngest daughter
of Clarence Mackay, plays a good game
or solf, hut lust now she la an ardent
worker for the Red Cross. She and her
slater Katharine started a class In sur
rlcal dressings to assist the Mackay
Hospital unit, known as Red Cross Base
Hospital No. 15, now serving In France.
Until compelled to call off all engage
ments because of Illness Mra. W. A.
Gavin, champion of the Women's Metro
politan Golf Association, had dona ex
cellent work. In her handicap exhibi
tion games with Jerome Travera at En
gtewoail and Wykagyl the English
woman did her part toward raising quite
a sum of money.
Hole Dreaded by Golfers.
There 7 a hoi on the Raltusrol links,
, .It's No. 7, more than 00 yards long,
that ha.i spelled disaster for many a
golfer from champion down to the rank
est kind of a duffer. Moat of the mis
fortunes have been due either to getting
off tho linn on the drive, resulting tn
the, lull penetrating the woodland on
cither side, but occasionally the down
fall takes place on the green, which,
nlthough large. Is more or less on a
slant mid consequently a deception and
a snaie,
Gcorgn Low, the Raltusrol "pro,"
tells nf an Incident at thla hole while
Playing with una of the members. Both
haul n;i fely run tho gantlet of haxards,
reaching the green nicely on their third
( -shots. Low's ball being a few feet below
the hole and the amateur's about twenty
feet above, On his approach putt the
member, a trifle cautious, only went
half way. Ills next try sent the ball
past the cup several feet, while on tha
putt coming back again he fell short.
He then suddenly broke the silence
' with :
" ! I must have been thinking
of my mother-in-law."

Ouimet Made Great Record
in Team Golf Competition
Francis Ouimet and Jesse. Knrd
made a wonderful record as si u-arn
thfe season. Tho Boston golfcrj tool:
part in at le..st ten thirty-six hole
matches, and In rach and every contest
they finished on the winning side.
When it Is con.sldeied that this In
vincible pair defeated such combina
tions as Jerome Travera and Oswald
Klrkby, Chick Kvans and Ned Sawyer,
Mike Brady and Loula Teltier. Klrkby
and Jebn Anderson and' Anderson and
J. B. Worthtngton, their season's record
seems the more remarkable. The 310
boles played Include each circuits as
Brae Bum. Woodlands, Knglewood. Bass
Rock. Oakley, Wurccater, itonawk val
ley and Baltusrot. '
The last few matcbea In which Ouimet
took part should have found him at a
disadvantage, not only -because or lack
ef practice, but also because of the
fact that he had to play with a sure
arm. There Isn't any doubt that the
termer national champion demonstrated
hie right to be ranked among the great
eat players on this aide of the Atlantic.
Hi golf this season clearly proves that
for the time tiring no one can dls-pute
him. Arid ao far a the combination
Is concerned one mignt searcn irom
one end of the .country to the other and
yet not find pair whose games dove
tailed so well aa did the play of Ouimet
and Guilford. .
lealOT Golf Clab 1st Canada.
In alt orobabliy the day fa not far
distant when there will be a seniors'
golf association In Canada patterned
somewhat along the lines of the local
organisation. At all events they have
been talking that way tn me uomimon,
even to discussing the probable age
limit, the suggestion being made that
because of the comparatively restricted
field SO yeara might be better than 65,
the minimum hare.
Already there has been some corrc-
apondence between those Interested in
forming a Canadian association, and
Frank Tresbrey, the well known Apa
wamla golfer, who accomplished Mich
able work aa chairman of the tourna
ment committee of the body which holds
Its annual reunions at Rye. In a letter
to Ralph lr. Revllle Tresbrey v.roto as
follows :
"Ilaviiia- served for three years as
chairman of the senlora' tournament I
will be pleased to give any ono who un
dertakes to form a Canadian association
full details of our organisation ana neip
In every way I can, Including a full
set of nur printed matter If desired. I
am enclosing you one of our year books,
giving you tho by laws and list of
members. Since tills book was printed
we have changed the by lawa bome
what, the chief Items being employing
of a corresponding secretary of tho oh
soclallon to rllva the chairman of
correspondence and limiting the mem
bership to COO. The association was
growing to an unwieldy number and
we decided to limit It to COO, and now
have a waiting list of about fifty.
"If you form an association It would
be a particularly nice thing to arrange
a match on some convenient llnka be
tween a team from your association and
one from the United Htatta. A great
deal of Interest could be aroused in this
and It would be a notablo affair,"
Clab Purchases New Ground.
Members of the Metacomet Golf Club,
which will have to vacate Ita present
ground in April, 1919, have taken steps
to Insure them against any such possi
bility In the future, At a recent meet
ing It waa decided to purchase property
on Harrington Parkway, known aa the
old Lyons Farm, and to erect a club
house. Plans are being made to lay
out an eighteen hole course, and It t
expected that when th time arrives to
vacate the members can go right to

CAMOUFLAGE LONG
USED IN FOOTBALL
Deceptive Playa Invented by
Coaches as Part of Team
Strategy.
CRISS-CROSS AN EXAMPLE
By SOL MnUi
Coach WatMnotoM ow4 ejfereoa root-
ball Tests.
Long before this great, spar cam along ;
and caused all football e,aJhes to worry
about their jobs cajneffa had been
ravtnted by theso same; eaeehea In the
way of strategy. This (atutnn has pre
viously told of th first example, the
ertsaucToas play used by th Bliss
brothers at Andover back in 1311. a de
ceptive play that beat attettr. It has
gtvea a good many other example aa
well
There waa the hidden ball trick that
0)laa Warner's Indians worked on Har
vara back In 10J. a play Warner him
self baa wrlttn full detail of. There
was Oeorge Woodruffs quarterback
kick, which sprang into being In the
memorable Pennsylvania victory over
Princeton In 1114 but which waa so
pus si log that If my memory of th tale
is correct tho officials even couldn't see
It. And there waa my own personal at
tempt at camouflage against the Cornell
eleven In 103. Playing end on the
Fann team, there waa a stage tn th bat
tle, with Cornell In possession of the
ball when the Ithacans were nonpluased
as to how to attack. They had tried
about every place but mine on the tine
and without success.
With much camouflage and gusto I
yelled at tkslr Quarterback, who waa
taking a lot of time In deciding what
not to do, "Send a play at me." He did.
Cornell gained twelve yards on the play.
Since, then I have rarely been led Into
using; camouflage on the gridiron.
Others, though, have been more success
ful. In fact collage athletes during and
after their undergraduate days have
been strong on camouflage.
Toe! Pendleton Oet am Opening.
Here la a good story on strategy or
camouflage I Just heard about Tod Pen
dleton, the former Princeton all around
athletic star. I -sot this story second
hand, ao cannot vouch, for Its accuracy,
aa the bond salesman alibis, but so far
as I know It is correct Pendleton was
a mighty good football man in his day
and his entrance into aviation la pretty
good proof that he haa abundant nerve
and character at his disposal.
Well, a friend of mine who Is training
for aviation with Pendleton at Dayton
wrote another friend that Pendleton had
made hla first flight recently. He stayed
up so lone and eventually kept so close
to the field that the Instructors got It Into
their beads he couldn t land, so they
got out an ambulance and a repair
auto and these proceeded to follow Pen
dleton In his numerous twists above the
field. Aa It turned out Pendleton
waa having trouble In landing. Even
tually, though, he ahut down tho engine'
and volplaned safely to earth.
The ambulance crew and the repair
crew rushed to him to find out what
the trouble hail been. "Why," Pendle
ton answered, so the friend of a friend
of mine wrote, "how In the dlckena could
a fellow make a landing on that field
with your two machines In the way all
the time? I Just had to keep Jockeying
around until T got nn opening to land
upon." Now If that Isn't typical camou
flage I don't know what Is.
"Tiny" Slnxvrell'a Oreat real.
There la a noted referee In football, the
same being 'Tiny" Maxwell of Chicago,
Swarthmore, Medico Chi, Ac. Tiny
played on about aa many college teams
as most of u havo played games. In
j spite of (his he emerged with 300 pounds,
, avoirdupois, and cry happy. But. and
also in spite of this, he got bluffed.
I In a certain game Tiny waa having
nis irouDics ivitn ma home crowd, all
because the home team was losing.
Bight near the end of the game Tiny
was threatened with battle and murder
(by some rough looking onlookers. Tiny
. looked over the field, saw an opening in
! the fence beyond with a taxi waiting just
uuuuuo mc opening. iiny aciea in
stantly. "How much time remains to be
played?" he asked the linesman.
'Three minutes," answered that In
dividual. "Vou may think so." said Tiny, "but
this game ends right after the next
play." Whereupon Tiny went to the
quarterback of the visiting team which
waa winning,
"Say, Bo." ho is supposed to have said
(but as Tiny stutters that Isn't Just
the way he aald It), "Say, Bo, do me a
favor? Bun tills next play around your
left end."
"Sure, I will," replied the quarter. He
did.
The end run started and leading It
was Tiny Maxwell, 300 pounds et al.
When the runner waa downed far across
tho field from tho home team's sup
porters, who had threatened Tlny's
health. Tiny blew his whistle, shouted
at the top of his voloat "Ttme'a up!"
and landed In th taxi In on more
Jump.
Aj a matter of fact. Tiny didn't
tell me that stoTy. I got It from his
friends down In West Virginia, who
very likely added to It somewhat at
Tlny'a expenso and Just for tho fun
of th tiling, v
Credit oe to Tofts.
This column has recently been guilty
of rank camouflage. About three weeks
ago It ran a story about fighting spirit
In football and In thla connection had an
Interview with "Humbo" Stlehm, the In
diana University roach, In which It gave
Indiana and Utlehm credit for beating
the Tuft team last fall. Stlehm did give
the interview, but Htlehm never said his
team beat Tufts. I am the r.nlc cul
prit who did that and I have no excuse
tn offer the public except to say that to
rr Is human. Tufts won the game from
Indiana 13 to 10, and was well satisfied
with tho result In vlw of the clrcum
stances. In this game Tufts was without the
services of Us regular quarterback
what great work against Dartmouth
this past fall enabled Tufts to win 2740.
"Tuft wa not at all pleased with the
Indiana affair last year," writes a Tufts
man to me, "and the trip will not be re
peated. Every time we rushed the 'hall
th Indiana rooter kept up euch a din
that Tufts could not get her signals.
Indiana's rooting was more dangerous
than har football team."
Therefore I hereby take off my hat to
th winning team Tufts and take this
opportunity to sitologlse for my grievous
error.

The De Witt Clinton-Commerce gsme
at the Polo Grounds a week ago yester
day brought to a close one of the most
successful schotastto football campaigns
the local schoolboys havo enjoyed In
years. Much credit for the success of
tho past season iroes to the various
coaches of tho different teams. At the
start of the local gridiron campaign
theso coach urro confronted with a
hanl taek, tho war haUng claimed al
most all of their veterans and left them
with nothing but green material. De
spite this great handicap the leaders of
the various teams atuck lo their task
and were none the worse for their ef
forts. In fact they were rewarded, for not
In th history of local scholastic football
has there been such a crop of good play
ers. This was due to tho fine coaching
the lads got. Th competition was
keener than in former years, bigger
crowds aaw the gams and the financial
returna were tho best ever.
Erasmus Hall annexe the Brooklyn
title, Flushing High School the Long
Island championship, but tho Manhattan-Bronx
title wan left in doubt, al
though sonio followers of the sport be
lieve De Witt Clinton the best on this
sldo of the bridge. The game which
was to havo decided tho Manhattan
Broryc title was played at the Polo
Orounda two weeks ago yesterday, the
contestants being He Witt Clinton and
Morris High School Th contest ended
tn a scoreless tie.
Choosing; the Star Teama.
Now that tbe football season is over
the final touches will be put to the cam
paign in the way of an all scholastic
team. As there Is such a large field of
good, players this year whu am worthy
of recognition. Tub Hun Instead of run
ning one star team has derided tn pick
a first and second all scholastic Greater
Sfew York team inado up of players of
the different schools in Greater New
York, a Manhattan eleven and a Brook
I "a and Long Isl.ind star team. In this
i ay all the worthy boys are given a
chance for one of the four star elevens.
Tho important question of end will be
decided first. To Goddard of Flushing
High School goes the position of left
end and Bouvlllo of Krasmus Hall is
placed at the other end position. Spiers
of Boys' High with Tlatt of Flushing are
both placed at tho ends on the second
team. I. Krassner of Morris and Silver
man of Do Witt Clinton alo played well
at the ends this ihon, but were topped
by the Hrookh ids.
llnth KrasHi and Silverman aro
given place on the Manhattan eleven.
Vail and Hamilton it Flushing High
School are placed as tho first tackles.
WolIT of Krasmus la frlvcn a position on
the second team, ns is Quail of Boys'
High. Both Quail and Wolff did very
well this year. They run tho two Long
Island bojs a cloro second for the honor
position.
DlrOcnlt to Choose (inarda.
For guards Mohler of Krasmus Hall
and Itaynold of Fordham Prep are about
on par, and both won places on tho first
team. Hem nf Flushing and Mitchell of
De Witt Clinton alio aro deserving of at
tention, Itotli HesN nnd Mitchell ate
given places on the second team. Bren
nan of Foiilham Prep and Klein of Stuy
vesant also plajcd well as guards this
season and both are placed on the Man
hattan team. Stratton of Poly Prep
also comes in for some praise aa a guard
and is placed on tho Brooklyn team.
Many candidates arc In line for the
position at centre. To Hehl of Brooklyn
Prep aoes this honor. This lud plned a
splendid game for tho Crown Heights
team this season and was greatly re
sponsible for his team annexing the
Catholta High title. He stands without
a peer. Wacker of Do Witt Clinton Is
