MR DOOLEY ON GOLF

"He. thinks he's a gnlitf player. But nobod.V plays tho game. They worruk at it," observes Mr. Doaley ot his friend Ijfognn :'.n the chapter "On Golf," in "Mr. Dooloy. On Making a. Will and Cthcr Necessary Evils." "In a gin'ral way," continue? Mr. Doolcy, "all I can aay about it is that it's n kind ir <l game iv balL that ye play with ye'er own' •worst 'nimy, which is ye'ersilf, an' a man ye don't like goes nround with ye_ an' gloats ovc-r ye, an' a little boy tallows ye to carry Hi' cluba an' hide th' 'ball aftlwr ye've hit it. Tli* ball is small, ■u'ade iv iniy rubber an' tilled with 1 a pizinous sutatanci', an' if ye hit it a good swash it busts an' puts out ye'er eye. Ye're snnpowd to smash this little grenade fr'm place to place an' here there an' up an' down an' hither an' yon with an enormous insthrunient iv wood ov iron, ratil in due t'me ye get to what is called a puttin'-grnen. There's a littlo hoi? with a tin can in it in th' middle iv this place, an' whin ye're within a fill or two iv this hole ye take a ""'-nil hammer out iv th' kig, an' yo hit th' hall ■ four or live times till it tumbles into th' hole. Th : n ye wipe th' co'cl swet fr'm ye'er brow, wr'to •dotvn '!>'■ on a little card, an' walk away a few feet 'an' do it all over again."
