A Serious Sport
of Scotch Origin
Golf., is Neither Dangerous Nor
Costly — The Philosophical
Mind.. Finds Great Sat
By a Veteran Scribbler
Golf came unobtrusively, and
has fairly taken root and. spread
itself. All the country clubs .have
it. Veteran tennis-players have
cast asid$ their bats and taken up
with “drivers” and. “putting-!
irons,” and,'more extraordinary;
still, horsemen, of mature convic
tions are found tramping' around
golf-links " day ‘after day and
• spending the solid evening hours
bragging of the strokes they made,
and raising futile lamentations
over, iggorbs -spoiled by wanton
misses. One does not fully realize
the fascination of golf until he has
heard it talked by confirmed horse
men in times when they might be
talking horse. It commends it
self as a serious sport, fit to en
i gage the well-preserved but not
too. boisterous energies of the mid
; dle-aged, suitable for’stout men to j
apply to the correction of obese
tendencies, and yet not too violent
for the spare frames of the thin.
It is neither dangerous nor costly,
■>. and yet the philosophical mind
finds satisfaction in it, while the
Sportsman admits that it possesses
the indispensable qualities of a
' '*"%ue .game. There ckn be- little
doubt that it' will; f possess all
.America. It has the best litera
ture of any known game, which ;
is due possibly to its Scotch origin, I
and the instruments with Which it
is cultivated are of so fascinating j
an aspect that the palm instinc-j
tively itches to clutch theip and
see how they- work. Once seen,
golf cannot be forgotten; once ex
perienced, it will not be neglected.
It has fairly got us now, and it
may be trusted to keep us. --ij.

. “This publication is free and in
dependent. It is not controlled by
Trust, Creed, Advertiser, Politi
cal Party, Millionaire, or anybody
or anything except its own con
science.”
This slogan has appeared in the
masthead of the Ventnor News
from the first day that this news
paper was /acquired by its present
owners.
' The publishers have tried to
present all questions of public in
terest in a fair unbiased, unprej
udiced and impartial manner.
And this has been especially the
case in matters political, as it is
the firm conviction of the Editpr
of the Ventnor News that the
voter himself must weigh in the
balance questions of vital im
portance to the community and
decide for himself how to cast his
vote. The average American citi
zen possesses good hard horse
sense and it is generally pretty
safe to assume that the end
figures will reflect ^ verdict that
will ultimately be for the common
good.
- The Ventnor News has an ex
pert staff- of -news- gatherers jiu)
may be relied upon to publish
without fear or favor..the true
status of conditions as they
exist. This was strongly evi
denced by an article which ap
peared in last week’s issue under
t.he headline, “Resort Political
Puzzle Cleared Up,” which news
item created an actual furore for j
it g»ve for the first time an ab
solutely true statement of political
'conditions as they now exist in
Atlantic City.
A good weekly paper is pre
eminently the home paper of news
paperdom. A weekly paper is not
hurriedly scanned while men
travel to business and then left
to motormen and conductors to
gather up. A weekly paper goes
to the homes where it is generally
read with pleasure and comfort
by all the members of the family.
It stays there for a full week until
the new issue arrives.
The Ventnor ' News is now
recognized as “Atlantic County’s
Home Weekly.” Prom Jackson
Avenue to Longport it has what
might almost be termed a “door
tb-door circulation.” In addition
to this if , has many thousands of
readers not only in the upper part
of the island, but in every nook
and corner of the County. Thus
readers of the Ventnor News in
Ventnor, Atlantic City and in
other parts of the County may al
ways expect to-find accurate and
careful reports of the Minings in
their own immediate community.
Owing to the large circulation
of the Ventnor News the last
forms close at eleven forty-five

Albert Spalding, Barbara Maarel
and Salvatore De Stefano Con
tribute Triumph of Three
Arts in Memorable Had
don Hall Musicals
'
' By VINCENT E. SPECIALE
Editor’s Noth—The full concord that
rounds the climax of a perfect perform
ance into the happy cloister of cherished
recollections, occurs when a discriminat
ing critic catches again into living lines
our ■common experience of a past pleasure
and preserves in adequate phrases of
proper descriptive praise, the fine feeling
of our general Individual enjoyment.
No happier combination of
singer and instrumentalists could
have been chosen for the third
of a series of March Musicales
given in the Vernon Room of
Haddon Hall last Saturday eve
ning. It was from an artistic
standpoint the most successful so
far. The excellence of the ar
tists proved such a delight to the
large gathering present that the
event, as many mu9ic enthusiasts
were heard to remark, will long
linger in their memory. It was
an outpour of music and song in
all its glory.
Albert Spalding, the eminent
American violinist, who holds a
distinguished position today in
the violinistic field, offered a va- j
ried program of compositions by
Corelli, Wagner, Wilhemy, Schu
Dert-Spalding, Brahms-Hochstein,
Wieniawsky, Schumann and
Sarasate. No matter what school
he interprets, Spalding is always
a true and sincere conveyor of
the composer’s meaning. There
is vitality in his playing, intelli
gent conception, a sure manipula
tion of the bow, and impeccable
intonation. Alien from manner
ism, he has a dignified pose, shows
temperament, and reveals traits

Whalen Planning Round Up
of Dangerous and Un- ■
Licensed Beasts V
Following numerous com
plaints received from residents
concerning dogs, Director of
Public Safety Richard E, Whalen
is planning to have a dog catcher
in Ventnor to round up unli
censed and troublesome canines
within a few days. -
Practically every day police
find it necessary to respond to
phone calls from anxious mothers
who' tell of vicious dogs running
loose in the vicinity, and, in sev
eral instances, animals have men
aced children going and coming
from schools.
The census of Ventnor taken
last year lists the city with 301
dogs while statistics in the office
of the City Clerk show that only
'72 owners have applied for li
censes up until several days ago.
Residents are urged, if they
value their dog, to secure li
censes before it becomes neces
sary to visit the dog pound in
order to obtain a stray pet that }
might wander into the dog catch
er’s net.
