BRITISH GOLFERS RETURN
TELL OF MATCHES IN ANTIPODES
TRAVEL BY AIR, LAND AND SEA
London.
The British amatour golf-team commissioned by the Royal and Ancient Club, to the Antipoden dis- embarked, after their 30,000 miles tour, from the Anchor liner Cale- donia at Greenock. In the course of the tour the campaigners have been on eight steamers, and have used air, rail, and read transport. They flew from Sydney to Brisbane.
The tourists are the Hon. Michael Scott, the captain of the team, Jack M'Lean,,the young West of Scotland player, whose golf has kept the cables busy with his glory on new courace and against now rivals; Leslio Garnett, and Dale Bourn, with Henry Gullen, the secretary of the Royal and Ancient Club, who was manager for the tour.
Bi Lean confessed the Scot's in- evitable sense of nostalgia as the liner nosed her way into Scottish waters, and Greenock, standing by Its reputation, played up to it with the homely touch of a grey and rainy afternoon. When the tender

drew under the liner the young Hayston player was on deck, bare- headed and looking very fit, to re- turn the greetings that were waved and shouted up to him.
When the party some time later arrived at Prince's Pier there was a cheer from the crowd there as the players, with M'Lean, of course, the most readily recognised, left the tender. Awaiting him were his father and other friends, among
thom Miss Margaret Waddell, young Edinburgh Indy.
OBJECT OF THE TOUR The Hon. Michael Scott said that the tour had been a great success, that the golfers they met "down under" were real good fellows and good players, and that the hospitall- ty the team had had was beyond description. He said:-
The tour achieved its chief purpose, and will, I am sure, have an excellent effect. We had real good and, of course, keen matches, but they were played in the friendliest spirit. There was no Test match golf, and the Australians assured me that it was a good thing for their golf and golfers that the tour had been undertaken, I hope there will one day be an ex- change of visits.
The captain added that the tour had also been a Orst-rate thing for "our boys" too, and he paid a hand- some tribute to M'Lean.
"I am very pleased indeed with Jack," he said. "He was a model as a golfer and in every other way, and he was a great favourite with everybody, na were also the other boys."

He is very proud of the tiki, the little Maori greenatone charm with which he was presented by the Rotorua Club in New Zealand. No doubt his friends in competi- tive golf feel that he can get along pretty well with his golf as it is without the reinforcement of a tiki.
M'Lean said he was meeting. Scots everywhere, and specially in Dunedin. When he arrived at Fremantle there was Д telegram waiting for him from an old Allan Glen's schoolboy, the school he nt- tended in Glasgow.. He added that the loyalty of the golfers they met overseas to the R. and A. was most marked.

Scadrome docks for trans-oceanic travel, a 20th century dream which has been under considera. tion for several years may soon become a reality. The United States will soon make available, funds for construction of the first ocean base. This will be placed between New York and Bermuda and if successful, will be followed by four other ocean landing Gelds stretching across the Atlantic along the fortieth parallel of latitude. They will be 600 miles aparts the sendromes will be 1,500 feet long and straich 100 feet above water. Since the greatest waves are only 40 feet high, they will be impervious to action of stormy seat. Hotel and passenger accommodation for overnight stops will be constructed on these huge floats and regular 24-hour schedules for Atlantic crossings will be carried out. Edward Armstrong, a Canadian engineer and former circus wrestler is the inventor of the unique device. He Is shown above with a drawing of the swadrome to be erected,
