HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1950-07-20, Page 2y FAMOUS SEAGRAM GOLD CUP—When top-ranking U.S. and Can- adian professionals converge on Royal Montreal Golf Club in search of The Canadian Open championship, the Seagram Gold Cup and $10,800 in prize money, Aug. 24-27, they will be playing at the oldest golf club in North America—the "Mother of Golf" on this continent. It was back in 1875 that the famous club which now has suburban Dixie as its locale first came into being, when seven Montreal gentlemen got together and resolved "that those present should form themselves into a golf club to be called the Montreal Golf Club." The founders laid out an 11 -hole course on Fletcher's Field—now in The heart f 31ontreal—on the eastern slopes of Mount Royal, and there they played each Wednesday and Saturday. They enjoyed the game secure in the knowledge that it would make no severe demands on their purses: for in those days clubs cost $1.10 each, balls were eight cents, and a. member's annual dues came to $2.50. The club added the prefix "Royal" to its name in 1884 on authority from Queen Victoria. As the years went by, the' popularity of the game grew steadily and the Fletcher's Field links became more and more crowded. In 1896, the directors oaserved that "it requires much room to perform this game_ with propriety" and began to look around for suitable land on which to build a new course. They found that land at Dixie. Today, Royal Montreal has a clubhouse built to accomodate a mem- bership of more than 1,000, and its members play over two championship courses, both running 6,500 yards in length and both with a par of 72. For its colivcnience anti Its variety, the South course has been selected for this year's Open. checked against herds with no fly FRONT control. c * * You have several choices of fly killers. But there are onlq"iwo you., — „ can use on dairy cattle or ou,.the inside of dairy barns- and milk ]rouses. . I soluctinies think that flies are a good deal Iike Stalin and "his boys". When "our side" is relaxing and taking things easy "they" are on the job all the time. Which is, of course, just a roundabout way of saying "never let up on the fles." AWhen your first spray stops kill- ing thefn, it's time to treat your buildings again, The weather most of us have been having this past month or so has been favorable to flies. Alternate showers and sunshine were hard on sly -killing chemicals applied on the outside of buildings. If you want good fly control, you have to keep at the job. Sani- tation comes first. Keep manure hauled, feeding floors clean and so on. * M Flies will breed even in damp *oil around tanks or where feed- lots drain. You can treat such areas with one ounce of horax per square foot. No fly -killing chemical lasts for - aver — or even all season — out- eoors. When it no longer hills flies —when you can find live flies on Treated surfaces early in the morn- ing—rt is probably time to spray again. , There is a dollar -and -cents rea- +onfor summer fly control.1.

This pair is approved for use around milk cows and buildings where milk is handled. On the outside of barns or in other livestock buildings you can use DDT. Or lindane. Methyoxy- chlor could be used too, but many farmers say it doesn't have the lasting duality of the other two chemicals. Beef cows, stock cattle on pas- ture or steers in the feedlot also need treatment. Benefits from fly control aren't confined to milk COWS. * * :k Tests on fat steers show that summer gains can be boosted at A SwESIT C When we first saw the title of .a 1iew book on golf announced :as "1T GOES. WHERE YOU HIT IT" we Were reminded of an old- time vaudeville act, which some .of you will no doubt remember.. It was the one where the comedian, after manfully struggling to master the trombone, winds up by saying pathetically, "I blow it in co swveet —but it always comes out . so r -r -r -rotten." %K :N For in the days when we played golf, or went through the motion;$ of so doing, it was our firm convtc- tion that the little white pellet was determined to go ANYWHERE ELSE BUT where we hit it. Now, after a look through the aforementioned book by George Louis Cumming, better known to thousands as "Lou" Cumming; and famous golfing son of an even more famous golfing father, we are con- vinced that we were mistaken, ,In fact, we believe that if this book had,' been published back before the war --(we're not saying which war)— we would now be an active golfer; instead of sitting on the sidelines and sneering at the perspiring divot- diggers, out there in the bro%141ig ,. sun, trying to look as if they , were having fun. For Lou Cumming, in his book, approaches the subject of golf' in a manner that is both novel and interesting. "It is obvious," he says in an early chapter, "that. when two golfers play together, other things being equal, the one who is comfortable doesn't have to beat the other. He just WAITS— WAITS for that person's discom- fort to overcome him. And it does, EVERY TIME." , -k k Now, that manner of talk makes real sense, in almost any sport. TlTb kind of hitter that pitchers hate to see facing them are those that are —like old Bate Ruth used to be— "loose as ashes at the plate." That sort of athlete is relaxed. He's t:onifortable. Yet most golfers we know, especially those wlib have taken courses of ordinary coaching, %re so tensed up thinking of what they must do, what they mustn':t,, do, and so forth, that it's a wonder they ever hit the ball at all, let alone' &et some fun out of the game. Here's another quote that will give you the general idea of the book far better than any comment o: ours. "If I said that Joe Louis flit Max Schmeling a blow but at the moment of impact he was off balance, I would imply that the blow was not fully effective. Why? Because balance can be defined as the position in which a person can best WITHSTAND a force from ally' direction. It is logical to con- clude that if this balanced person can best WITHSTAND a force from any direction HE CAN BEST APPLY A FORCE IN ANY DIRECTION." least ane -fourth pound per day if j flies are kept under control.

T could hear him say in his thick Scotch brogue 'Stand up and hit the damned thing'." :k 'k Lou Cumming's theory of relaxed, comfortable golfing is the result of lengthy and varied experience. Born in 1906, by the time he was fifteen lie was acting as professional—dur- ing his summer holidays from school —at what he modestly descrbes as "a small nine -hole course that couldn't afford a full-time profes- sional," Since then, with a couple of years out for yvar activities, his life has been pretty' much taken up with the game. � a "After V -J Day," he writes, "with the prospect of civilian life looming ahead of me my thoughts, naturally turned to golf once again. In retro- spect, my former teaching methods did not satisfy, me when compared with my new knowledge of teach- ing technique. Wasn't teaching; Keep your head down, etc. really --teaching a NEGATIVE SYSTEM? Wasn't this really teaching them that if they did all this, they would - not miss the ball. I felt that, if I were going to return to the teaching of golf I wanted a POSITIVE SYS- TEM—something definite I could tell people to do that would make there HIT THE BALL." Space will not permit further comment or quotation, but we can say . this—we honestly believe that Lou Cumming has achieved his goal. We think that IT GOES WHERE YOU HIT IT is a boot: that any golfer, from duffer to par - buster, will enjoy and profit by reading. After finishing it we were inclined to misquote Holy 'Writ and say "Almost thou persuadest us to be a—golfer." We understand that the book is not, as yet, available' at book stores, but anybody .who can't wait may get a copy—prier, $4.50 -- by addressing Lou Cumming at The Toronto Golf Club. ' A 15 -Year -Old Boy The 'Secret Of Telev One horning Phil came to school early and approached Tolman, who was sitting at his desk busily pre- paring for the clay's work, and asked to join the senior chemistry class, which was taught by Tolman. The request was an astonishing one, since entering the class in the mid- dle of the term would require that he make up the first three month's work of the course. Tolman told him that he would have to wait until his senior year, that it would be folly for a freshman to think of doing the work of a senior. The boy left, and Tolman thought Ise had seen the last of him in the chemistry class for three years. But he was mistaken: the next clay Phil appeared again and asked the pri- vilege of just sitting in with the group, The request was granted, and Farnsworth soon proved a worthy student. His questions so penetrating that .lie often stayed after scliool with Tolman to thrash them out. It finally resulted in his coming early and staying late and getting special tutoring from Tol- man beyond the requirements of the senior -class course. It was not extraordinary, then, I that Phil confided in Tolman his i purpose to become an inventor and lgive it as the principal reason for his eager pursuit of scientific knowledge. i Phil continued to enjoy astonish- ing his young brothers and sisters with his vivid descriptions of what he had learned of this and that science, how he was going to make great things from his knowledge and become famous. The idea of television was not new in the realm of the human mind, but Phil Farnsworth's con- ception of harnessing the photo- electric cell and the cathode ray tube its a simple television system was new and original. The scheme became an obses- sion with limn. He unrst tell some- one about it. He must discuss it to clarify the details In his own mind. Tolman was the logical con- fidant. Finally when he felt he had the plan well worked out,. he de- termined to reveal it to Ills mentor. The study hall with the large blackboard at the front was usually vacant during the last period of the day. With the routine world for the clay accomplished, Phil would re- pair to his room to prepare lriin self for the after-school session in chemistry with 'Tolman. This seemed to hint the logical piace to reveal to Tolman the details of the television sclieuie that had beell driving him during mosi of lik �.

Well, he's found the excitement all right, because it's no easy task harpooning crocodiles from a col- lapsible boat on the Semliki River in Central Africa. The other day a crocodile he had harpooned shook itself so vigor- ously that the harpoon was flung back. It was a good shot by t he crocodile, for the harpoon struck Tweedale in the chest. Fortunately there waslittle power behind it and he escaped with a few bruises. Discovers ision waking hours for the past months. With the sense of the dramatic which was growing to be an es- sential part of his personality, lie planned to surprise his instructor by drawing a full outline of his scheme on the blackboard before Tolman came in. When Tolman entered the room, the boy was not in his customary seat poring over a book, but was finishing a blue -print type of dia- gram that covered half of the blackboard which stretched across the front wall of the room. Tolman stepped to the front of the study hall and sat down to watch the boy as he completed his diagram with nervous, almost fid- gety strokes. When he had' finished the drawing he placed chalk and eraser on the base of the black- board, walked over to the end, and picked up a pointer, Returning to the center in front of Tolman, he announced with eager, half -sup- pressed excitement that this was his new television system. Tolman asked what this had to do with chemistry. Phil then went on to explain that this new inven- tion of his had really been occupy- ing his thought for a long time and he wanted to explain it to him. There was not time between the close of the school session and the supper hour to go into all the de- tails of this scheme as Phil visual- ized it. It took malty more eve- nings. In these sessions, chemistry was forgotten and Phil stood before the blackboard posing the problems and solutions embracing the gen- eral system of television. It must be remembered that this plan was unfolded evening after evening in the Rigby High School (Idaho) by a fifteen -year-old boy in 1922, when sound radio was yet in its infancy. —From "Tile Story of Television —The Life of Philo T.
