We are told that if Palleison undertook such a risky defence in the current lax year he could keep only 10 per cent of his carvings. And that is certainly not a business-ko gamble.

It is kuman, I suppose, for ovarý man to think that his were the days of the giants. The proponents of the modern ord, at whatever time it may be, have always pointed to the lower scoring accomplish- cd in the big tournaments, and those who argue for tho past have always countored by citing the improvement in clubs, balls, and golf course conditioning.
