GOLFE
GOSSIP
***
The often termed "great" Walter Hagen is by no means a miracle man. His cleverness and efficiency in golf came through persistant study and practice, which involved to no small extent the correcting and re- building of the old style clubs. It is a fact that Mr. Hagen's clubs were the key to his wonderful abili ties. Long before he was in a position to build his own clubs, others were rebuilt and changed to his liking. His study and experi- mental work lasted years, but it helped him, and finally he perfect- ed what is to-day the acme in Golf Clubs.
Correct equipment is an item of utmost importance.
To-day the New and Improved clubs, designed and built by Mr. Hagen, are sold on the market at prices equal and in many cases bet ter than other clubs.

Arsenal's Epic Struggle
At White Hart Lane
QPURS ▾ the Arsenal--and what
a match it was! A game of a hundred thrills; a game worthy of a Cup Final: and a game full of much better football than is ever seen in a Cup Final!
Briefly, the Spurs had much the better of the first half. and Arsenal excelled in the second. This was because the Tottenham men
ran like
hares, and shot at sight before the interval, and so exhausted them- selves that they could do little but defend afterwards. They scored first, from a penalty-kick taken by Felton, their captain, after W. Evans, the appointed penalty-kick expert, had been hurt.

Before half time, however, the pent- up Arsenal suddenly burst their bonds, and streamed down the field in an ex- hilarating rush, led by swerving, swirl- ing Jack. As soon as he got within |rance of the Spurs' goal, he drove In |a lightning kick, but the ball hit a de- fender and bounced back to the fent of Bowden, who swung it back again and scored the equaliser.
The second half provided any amount f thrills but no goals.
It was, of course, a titanic struggle
between the speed of the Spurs' dash-
