FAMOUS SEAGRAM GOLD CUPâ€" When lop-ninking L.S. and Can- adian professionals converge on Koyal Montreal Golf Club in search of Ihf Canadiin Open chnmpionship, the Seagram Gold Cup and $10,800 in prizr num.'}-, Ang. 2^-27. they will he playing at the oldest golf club in North America â€" the "Mother of Golf" on this continent. It was back in 1875 that the famous club which now has suburban Dixie as it.% locale first came into being, when seven Montreal gentltmen get tof'ctl'cr and resolved "that those present should form themselves into a golf club to be called the Montreal Golf Club." The founders laid out an 11-hole course on Fletcher's Fieldâ€" now in Ihe heart J Montrealâ€" on the eastern slopes of Mount Royal, and there Ihty played each Wednesday and Saturday. They enjoyed the game secure in the knowledge that it would make no severe demands on their purses: for in those days clubs cost $1.10 each, balls were eight cfiits, and a member's annual dues came to $2.50. The club added the prefix "Royal" to its name in 1.S84 on BUthority from Queen Victoria. As the years went by, the popularity of the game grew steadily and she FIrlclier's Field links became more and more crowded. In 1896, the directors ooserved that "it requires much room to perform this game with proprifty" and began to look aroinid for suitable land on which to build a new course. They found that land at Dixie. Today. Royal Montreal has a cUibliouse built to accomodate a meni- btrsliip of more than 1.000, and its members play over two championship courses, both running 6,500 yards in length and both with a par of 72. For its convenience and its variety, the South course has been selected for this year's Open. mPMMFKONT I sometimes think tliat flies ar.' a KO"d <leal like Stalin and "his boys". When "our side" is relaxing and taking things easy "they" are on the job all the time. Which is, of course, just a roundabout way of saying "never let up on the fles." When your first spray stops kill- ing Iheni, it's time to tr.-at your buildings again. * » ♦ The weather most of us have been having this past month or so has b«en favorable to flies. .Mternate showers and sunshine were hard on Hy-killing chemicals applied on the cutside of buildings. * * * If you want good fly control, >ou have to keep at the job. Sani- lalion comes first. Keep manure hauled, feeding floors clean and so on. » ♦ . Flies will breed even in damp soil around tanks or where feed- lots drain. Vou ran treat suc.i areas with one ounce of borax per square foot. * * * No fly-killing chemical lasts for- ever â€" or even all season â€" out- <!«i«rs. When it no longer kills flics â€"when you can find live flies on Ueateil surfaces early in the morn- ing â€" it is probably time to spray again. . * * * There is a dollar-and-ienls rea- ron for summer fly control. Keep- fcag the flies down is one way to boost hot-weather production. In- tfeases up to 20 per cent have been npnrtcd when fly-free herds were checked against herds with no fly control. * t * You have several choices of fly killers. Hut there are only two you can use on dairy cattle or on the inside of dairy banis and milk houses. . » » ♦ These are lindane and niethoxy- chlor. This pair is approved for use around milk cows and buildings v/here milk is handled. * * + On the outside of barns or in other livestock buildings you can u.se DDT. C)r lindane. Methyoxy- chlor could be used too, but many farmers say it doesn't have the lasting <|uality of tlie other two chemicals. * * ♦ Beef cows, slock cattle on pas- ture or steers in the feedlot also need treatment. Benefits from fly control aren't confined to milk cows. > * * Tests on fat steers show that summer gains can be boosted at least one-fourth pound per day if flics are kept imder control. Spray both cattle and buildings. . * • ♦ Beef cattle prol)ably will need a treatment every two weeks or so. You can use DDT, lindane or niethoxychlor on them. Witli the dairy cows, don't use DDT. * ♦ * Some dairymen use the pyre- uoncs on dairy rows. I'yrenone sprays have a (luick knock-down but not the lasting ability of the others. So you have to use them once a day. * * * There is one important thing to remember about any chemical you use: Use it only according to the manufacturer's instructions. Read the label. Then follow directions. y A SiXBiTCtSffic When wt first saw the title of a new hook on golf announced as "IT GOES WHERE YOU HIT IT" we were reminded of an old- time vaudeville act, which some of you will no doubt jemcmber. It v/as the one where the comedian, after manfully struggling fo master the trombone, winds up by, saying pathetically, "I blow it in so sweet â€" but it always comes out so r-r-r-rotten." • * * For in the days when we played golf, or went through the motions <ii so doing, it was our firm convic- tion that the little white pellet was determined to go ANYWHERE ELSE BUT where we hit it. * * * Now, after a look through the aforementioned book by George Louis Cumniing, better known to thousands as "Lou" Gumming, and famous golfing son of an even more famous golfing father, we are con- vinced that we were mistaken. In . fact, we believe that if this book had been published back before the war --(we're not saying which war) â€" we would now be an active golfer, instead of sitting on the sidelines and sneerinii at the perspiring divot- diggers, out there in the broiling sun, trying to look as if they were having fun. » * ♦ For Lou Cumniing, in his book, approaches the subject of golf in u manner that is both novel and interesting. "It is obvious," he â- ays in an early chapter, "that when two golfers play together, other things being equal, the one who is comfortable doesn't have to beat the other. He just WAITS- WAITS for that person's discom- fort to overcome him. And it does, EVERY TIME." * > Kow, that manner of talk makes real sense, in almost any sport. The kind of hitter that pitchers hate to see facing tl.cm are those that are â€"like old llabe Ruth used to.be â€" "loose as ashes at the plate." That fort of athlete is relaxed He's comfortable. Yet most golfers we know, especially those who ha\e taken courses of ordinary coaching, ::ie so tensed up lliinkinq of what they must do, what they mustn't do, and so forth, that it's a wonder they ever hit the ball at all, iet alone Kel some fun out of the game. -^ * ♦ Here's annthcr (piote that will give you the general idea of the book far better than any comment of ours. "If I said that Joe Louis hit Max Schineling a blow but at the moment of impact he was off balance, I would imply that the blow was not fully effective. Why? because balance can be defined as the position in which a person can best WITHSTAND a force from any direction. It is logical to con- clude that if this balanced person can best WITHSTAND a force from any direction HE CAN BEST APPLY A FORCE IN ANY DIRECTION." I'lven lo a noi. -golfer liko ourself the book is very readable, and easy to follow. There are over eighty pictures showing clearly, point by l'i)iiii. what tlie author is trying to get across â€" that the ball actually (toes where you hit il, and that it's ji'.st as easy to hit it on a line toward the hole, as into the rough or out of bounds. By no means the least interest- ing feature of the book is (he brief but touching tribute Lou pays to his father, the late George Cum- niing, father of Canadian golf, whose death early this year brought sor- row to couutless thousands of golf- ers the world over. "He taught me, but it must have been something like teaching a wife to drive a car. Wheat Harvest In Full Swing â€" I-ookinfj like three preliisloric monsters, these coiiiliiiies, move throtiRli the 8.Vacre wheat field of C. O. Zile. The .scene is a typical one ihroiiRhout the Wheat Belt as farmers harvest their iinexpectetlly R.ood crops, yielding .^0 to .3.S husbels an acre. I questioned everything and my 'whys' must have driven him to deipcration at times â€" then, one lesson I remembered his having (,iven me suddenly made sense. T could hear him say in his thick Scotch brogue 'Stand up, and hit the damned thing'."^ * « « Lou Cumming's theory of relaxed, comfortable golfing is the result of lengthy and varied experience. Born in 1906, by the time he was fifteen he was acting as professional â€" dur- ing his summer holidays from school â€" at what he modestly descrbes as "a small nine - hole course that couldn't afford a full-time profes- sional." Since then, with a couple of years out for war activities, his life has been pretty much taken up with the game. * • * "After V-J Day," he writes, "with the prospect of civilian life loojninKJ" ahead of me my thoughts naturally turned to golf once again. In retro- spect, my former teaching methods did not satisfy me when compared with my new knowledge of teach- ing technique. Wasn't teaching: Keep your head down, etc. really teaching a NEGATIVE SYSTEM? Wasn't this really teaching theni that if they did all this, they would not miss the ball. I felt that if I were going to return to the teaching of golf I wanted a POSITIVE SYS- TEM â€" something definite I could tell people to do that would make them HIT THE BALL." -^ * ♦ Space will not permit further comment or quotation, but we can say this â€" we honestly believe that I.ou Gumming has achieved his goal. We think that IT GOES WHERE YOU HIT IT is a book that any golfer, from duffer to par- buster, will enjoy and profit by leading. After finishing it we were inclined to misquote Holy 'vVrit and say "Almost thou persuadest us to V>c a â€" golfer." We understand that the book is not, as yet. available at book stores, hut anybody who can't wait may get a copy â€" price $4.50-^- by addressing Lou Cumniing at The Toronto Golf Club. ..Classified Advertising..

HARPOONED BY A CROCODILE Earning a good living by har- pooning, shooting or trapping about 70 crocodiles a week is 34-year-old Samuel Tweeddale, an ex-Irish Guardsman who went to Africa af- ter the war because he wanted a job which oflfered some excitement. Well, he's found the excitement all right, because it's no easy task harpooning crocodiles from a col- lapsible boat 01) the Semliki River in Central Africa. The other day a crocodile he had harpooned shook itself so vigor- ously that the harpoon was flung back. It was a good shot by t he crocodile, for the harpoon struck Twcedale in the chest. Fortunately there was little power behind it and he escaped with a few bruises. A 15- Year-Old Boy Discovers The Secret Of Television One morning Phil came to school early and approached Tolnian, who was sitting at his desk busily pre- paring for the day's work, and asked to join the senior chemistry class, which was taught by Tolman. The request was an astonishing one, since entering the class in the mid- dle of the term would require that he make up tlie first three month's work of the course. Tolman told him that he would have to wait until his senior year, that it would be folly for a freshman to think of doing the work of a senior. The boy left, and Tolman thought he had seen the last of him in the chemistry class for three years. But he was mistaken: the next day Phil appeared again and asked the pri- vilege of just sitting in with the group. The request was granted, and Farnsworth soon proved a worthy student. His questions so penetrating that he often stayed after school with Tolman to thrash them out. It finally resulted in his coming early and staying late and getting special tutoring from Tol- man beyond the reiiuiremcnts of the senior-class course. It was not extraordinary, then, that I'hil confided in Tolman his purpose to become an inventor and give it as the principal reason for his eager pursuit of scientific knowledge. Phil continued to enjoy astonish- ing his young brothers and sisters with his vivid descriptions of what he had learned of this and that science, how he was going to make great things from his knowledge and become famous. The idea of television was not new in the realm of the human mind, but Phil l'"arnsworth's con- ception of harnessing the photo- electric cell and the cathode ray tube in a simple television system was new and original. The scheme became an obses- sion with him. He must tell some- one about it. He must discuss it to clarify the details in his own mind. Tolman was the logical con- fidant. Finally when he felt he had the plan well worked out, he de- termined to reveal it to his mentor. The study hall with the large blackboard at the front was usually vacant during the last period of the day. With the routine work for the day accomplished, I'hil would re- pair to his room to prepare him- self for the after-school session in chemistry with Tolman. This seemed to him the Kigieal place to reveal to Tolman the details of the television scheme that had been driving him during most of hi'- waking hours for the past months. With the sense of the dramatic which was growing to be an es- sential part of his personality, he planned to surprise his instructor by drawing a full outline of his scheme on the blackboard before Tolman came in. When Tolman entered the room, the boy was not in his customary seat poring over a book, but was finishing a blue-print type of dia- gram that covered half of the blackboard which stretched across the front wall of the room. Tolman stepped to the front of the study liall and sat dow-n to walch the boy as he completed his diagram with nervous, almost fid- gety strokes. When he had finished the drawing he placed chalk and eraser on the base of the black- board, walked over to the end, and picked up a pointer. Returning to the center in front of Tolnian, he announced with eager, half-sup- pressed excitement that this was his new television system. Tolman asked what this had to tlo with chemistry. Phil then went on to explain that this new inven- tion of his had really been occupy- ing his (bought for a long time and he wanted to explain it to him. There was not time between the close of the school session and the supper hour to go into all the de- tails of this scheme as Phil visual- ized it. It took many more eve- nings. In these sessions, chemistry was forgotten and Phil stood before the blackboard posing the problems and solutions embracing the gen- eral system of television. It must be remembered that this plan was unfolded evening after evening in the Kigby High School (Idaho) by a fifteen-year-old boy in 1922, when . sound radio was yet in its infancy. â€" From "The Story of Television â€"The Life of Philo T.
