SMOKES FOR TOMMIES
PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS' GIFT. The matches arranged by Henry Cotton against ether leading professionals are proving a welcome addition to the fund of the Red Cross. The three matches that he has played up to date have shown a profit of something like £7OO. and after the match at Glasgow recently the balls he and James Adams had used were auctioned and brought in another twenty-two guineas each (states a London correspondent). In Scotland, too! A four-ball match has been arranged between W. Cox. D. J. Rees. Alfred Perry and Archie Compston in aid of ihe Tobacco for the Troops Fund. The match will be played at Wimbledon Park, and there will be no “expenses,” so everyone who pays their half-crown gate money will know that he is providing more than a hundred cigarettes or their equivalent in tobacco for the Tommies. These professionals hope to have a. big enough gallery to provide more than a million cigarettes!
