gy WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1922 GOLF GOSSIP Edited by EVERETT WILSON Members of the North Shore golf club who are consistent losers every week and who just miss winning the many trophies awarded during the season will find by looking in the back of the booklet containing their sched- ule of events that there are a num- ber of prizes awarded at the end of the golf year for all-season events. The Goat trophy is one of these. At the first of the season every player desiring one was given a Goat medal. Eighteen hole matches with the med- als as stakes enable the skilful golf- ers to pile up a number of Goats. A player who has lost his Goat can challenge the owner of a Goat by put- ting up a ball against the medal. The player with the most Goats at the end of the season wins the trophy. Al though no figures are as yet available --the Goat season ends Labor Day-- it is said that a good many of the club's star performers have lost their Goats. The Foursome trophy is permanent. It goes to the best score turned in during the year by any foursome. The score ig arrived at by taking the total gross score of the four players and deducting three-fourths of the total handicaps. Another prize is listed for the play- er showing the best handicap reduc- tion during the year in each class. The Ringer trophy is awarded fol- lowing the play of September 15. Each player, as he makes a good score on a certain hole, marks up the figure on the Ringer card. Then, at the end of the season, the player who can show a low aggregate on the eighteen holes wins the trophy. The lowest score made during the year on each hole will be placed opposite the number of the hole on the card. A. R. Hulbert has listed twelve ring- ers already, and has a 32 for the first nine holes: his second nine is not complete, but three "3's" are listed. H. H. Harrison has 22 for the last seven holes of the first nine and a series of low scores on an incomplete second nine. H. S. Stevens has six "3's" and two «9'¢" listed for a good start. W. Cornell has three "3's" and two "2's" marked up. These marks may be changed at any time, if a lower score is made. In a special match at Philadelphia a team composed of Walter Hagen and Joe Kirkwood defeated the com- bination of Gene Sarazen and Charles Hoffner, Pennsylvania open champion. Qarazen's reaction to his recent VIC tory at Skokie is shown by the fact that he was high man of the four, seven strokes behind Hagen, who made the course in 71, one over par. Hoffner's 75 put him second, two strokes ahead of Kirkwood. Wilmette men carried off the honors at Westmoreland last Saturday. T. C. Moulding, 1004 Greenwood avenue, won the president's cup after a stiff match. A. C. Hammond, 500 Gregory avenue, won further honors for his home town by winning the vice presi- dent's cup. In addition' Hammond was second man in the Blind Bogey with a net card of 76, one stroke be- hind A. C. Boyd. E. B. Latham, with a handicap of 20, won the weekly fellowship trophy. T. W. Ritchie won his way into the semi-finals of the Arrow Head trophy race at Indian Hill by defeat- ing A. B. Bradley, 3 and 2. H. C. Badgerow won the handicap against par, 2 down. W. E. Lamb and Frank Blossom were second, 3 down, 0YBUR THEATRE 15 Davis St., Evanston MATINEES 2 and 4 Evenings 7 and 9 NEXT WEEK Monday - Tuesday July 31, Aug. | Katherine MacDonald (The American Beauty) IN "Domestic Relations' Most pictures you see end with marriage, but here's one that starts with marriage and ends wit Wednesday -Thursday Aug. 2-3 One of the real big pictures of the year.

The tournament will be finished either this week or next week. Book Reviews By John Philip Morris FIVE POETS AND A POET . Maxwell Bodenheim has been called the greatest living American poct. His last published collection--INTRO- DUCING IRONY--does not help this reputation as do his earlier poems. He has developed a tendency to tor- ture his phrases until they creak and scream. Irony is at best an elusive butterfly to catch and pin and at times she seems to have escaped Mr. Boden- heim's net. His feeling that a poem should hold fresh charm at each rereading is a good one, but take such lines as: Her feet and arms were bare And thin as sensual disappoint- ments, or : . A savage attending A minstrel show of regrets. and I fear that it will take many read- ings to discover their beauty, their worth or their real meaning. We are introduced to Irony but Irony is so veiled and swathed in words that I fear we may not recog- nize the jade when we next meet. Simplicity, after all, is true greatness, and of such was the earlier and great- er Bodenheim. THAT MATTERS by Edgar A. Guest.

If your taste runs to poems such as: It's just as fanny as it can be But my Pa doesn't seem old to me. or Who knows a calling more glorious than The day-by-day work of the news- paper man. You will read and enjoy the book from cover to cover. You may be assured it contains no irony. A GATE OF CEDAR contains the gathered poems of Miss Katherine Morse. Some of it is better and some verse. It represents many moods of a maid and contains several good bits and much promise. All poets, however, do not express themselves in rhymed words and Will Ransom has taken a printing press for his vehicle. At his little shop high up in a loop skyscraper he is busy gath- ering and printing in a beautiful way the beatiful works of others. Two small books are his first fruits and each contains the verses of anoth- er poet. Each is hand printed from hand-set type on hand made paper, each is a bijou of craftsmanship and each is limited to but 245 copies. Those that love lovely detail will find it in OPEN SHUTTERS by Oliver Jenkins and in STAR POLLEN hy Power Dalton. The poems in both vol- umes are of the romantic Wordsworth- ian school and both are cool, limpid and refreshing and would be worth reading even apart from their beauti- ful surroundings. If you love beauty in books you should own these. Here are five poets and a poet. Apart from each other as far as is star from star, and yet being poets all alike possessing the qualities shared by the stars and by the poets. JOHN PHILIP MORRIS. Emerson Hough has been interested in a surprising confirmation of the actual occurrence of an episode which he incorporated in his new novel, "The Covered Wagon," (Appleton). In the novel a meeting between Kti Carson and Jim Bridger takes place at Lara- mie. Mr. Hough knew of no such act- ual meeting, but knew the country, dates and habits of the men enough to know they might have met there. Now he has received word that in an exhi- bition at the Sacramento "Days of "49" celebration a rifle has been on exhibi- tion with a card stating that it had belonged to Jim Bridger and that he brought it with him over the Oregon Trail to Bidwell's Bar, after having met Kit Carson at Laramie. And the novelist sees in the fact a curious and gratifying confirmation of an interest- ing scene in his novel.
