Sport: Caddy-Scramble

To celebrate the opening of a new links at the Knollwood Country Club near White Plains, N. Y., President (of the club) William C. Breed stood upon the first golf tee, swung a club which drove a ball 200 yards,† straight and true. Six dozen caddies whooped, jostled one another, scampered down the fairway after President Breed’s ball. To that caddy who returned with the ball, was presented $5 in gold.

Then Secretary D. S. Edmonds put a slight “hook” on a 175-yard drive; Chairman of the Construction Committee J. H. Bookmeyer drove straight for 200 yards; and two more caddies earned $5 apiece.

Finally, Treasurer W. H. Merrill swung hastily, knocked a ball 25 yards at an acute angle, and the gold rush went into the tall grass.

†A good drive with which any man, short of a champion, might be content.
