COME. READER. LET'S TREK
AROUND THE GOLF COURSE
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING
Chief Executive an Odd Manner of Man Never Loses His Tem-
nei" Though a Golfer Plays in Shirt Sleeves and
Plays Well Uses Public Fairway
By DAVID M. CHCKC'll
lilteniatioiml News Service Staff Coucspottileiit.
WASHINGTON Aug 3. Warren Gameliel Harding is the nation's
greatest gqlf atti action
"Chick" Evans "Jock"" Hutchison and "Bobby" Jonos notwitltBtand-
Ing Warren G. Holding has a bigger gallery each time that lie plays golf
than any other sroifor in the United States.
If tlte prosident saw fit to charge "two bits" per for each person in
Ills gallery every time lio vrtolds a "liraasle" ho would net a noat Iittlo sum
that might run a close second to the salary chock that the Treasury De-
partment sendn him twice a month.
All Washington likes to watch the
Prosident goir and to dnto most of
Washington has seen him at the
game. No one has heard him which
speaks well for his temper.
The President plays most frequent-
ly on the nine-hole course in East
Potomac Park which is maintained
by the Government for the public of
Washingtou. Whenever he appears
at the first tee lie is immediately sur-
rounded by a half-hundred golfers
and all the way down the course has
an increasing "gallery." Most or tho
golfers let the President 'go through'
while they stand on the edge of the
fairway and watch him and it doesn't
seem to feaze him a bit.
Warren Q. Harding's collective golf
cards may not look well enough to be
framed but he is a rare golfer for
ho novor displays eitremo joy or
chagrin over his game. Like most of
tho garden variety of golfers ho
Hpentls a good bit of his time in the
bunkevs aud raises much dust but
uullk most golfers he doesn't raise
"Cain" with the dust. He just shoots
away until he is out of the hazard
and back on the fairway and never
a word or even an ugly look.
Borrows Mutch Horn Bystander
Jomo two score or more old-time
golfers stood by in amazement a
short time ago and watched the
President drive into a sandolt 100
yards from the tee on par three
hole The President watched his
ball sink in the sand walked to it
very deliberately chose a spoon and
.tried for an "out " No luck but
plenty of sand in the air and all over
tho Presidential golfer. One more
try with the spoon and tho same net
result. On tlio third shot the little
old bnll wont shooting Into the air
and carried twenty yards over the
green. Tho President switched his
cigar from ono corner of his mouth
to tho other and without even mut-
tering walked on.
When the Chief Executive was out
of hearing ono of tho old timers who
was standing by exploded "Hell ho
can't be human! Threo dubs and not
a single word!"
The old timer followed along to
tly.' green. Tho President drew a
six on a par three hole.
"Nice work Joo" said the Presi-
dent to Senator Frellnghuysen his
opponent who holed out in three.
Turning toward the next tee tho
President Fording Stream
President stopped in the midst of his
"gallery" and asked a youth for a
match.
"Hell he Is human after all eh
wqt?" croaked the old timer.
This was but a fair example of the
Presidential control at golf. Tho
Chief Epcutlve doesn't always hit
them wheiP he would like to have
them to go but he has perfect con-
trol of his temper and tongue and
one bad hole doesn't ruin his game
for he goes after the next hole hard-
er than ever.
Believes in Comfort Before Stjle.
The President may not have the
best golf form in tho land but it's a
safe wager that he has as good golf
temper as any player now extant un-
less some of tho characters in those
old Sunduy school books have taken
up the ancient Scotch gamo.
The Executive is not a star golfer
nor is he a bad golfer. His scores
run under and over tho 100 mark
for eighteen holes. He plays golf
for the sheer joy of It and .to win
Whatever he plays he plays to win
. out ho plays with an oxtrome fail
mindedness and takes no advantage
over an opponent nor does he fcloatl
over an adversary s mUfortune. i
It is often said that a man's true
character is shown in his golf. If
this be true Warren G. Hnrding it a.
