This is not a cartoon but a contest announcement by *Judge* magazine inviting golfers nationwide to submit humorous golf stories and anecdotes. The illustrated header shows stylized golfers in various poses and attire from the era. The "Lore o' the Links Committee" seeks to preserve American golf culture by collecting the best golf stories—preferably humorous, original, and reflecting real clubhouse atmosphere. *Judge* itself will publish winning submissions weekly in its "Told at the 19th Hole" page. Prizes include a silver cup for the golf club submitting the most stories and trophies for individual authors. The tone is lighthearted and encouraging, appealing to golfers' pride and competitive spirit while celebrating golf as an established American pastime worthy of cultural preservation—"something equal to that which England and Scotland already enjoy." The deadline is November 1st.

help to collect and preserve the Lore o’ the Links! SS AS ATION WIDE MOVEMENT is under way to collect and preserve the Lore o° the Links, sponsored by a committee of real golf lovers. The object is to perpeiuate the wit, traditions and humor of this royal and ancient game; to build up for America, something equal to that which England and Scotland already enjoy. Through the Secretaries of every important golf club in the United States and Canada, their members are being invited to send in the best Gone Sronies, preferably humorous; Gotr ANECDOTES; unusual GoLr INCIDENTS. JupGe is lending the full assistance of his staff in collating and editing these Gotr Srories and Gotr ANecpotes and will publish the best of them every week on his “Told at the 19th Hole” page. At the end of the dri November Ist, the Committee will present JupGr’s “19th Hole” Silver Cup to that Golf Club whose members have sent in the most golf stories and golf anecdotes of the sort described. To the individual club member whose story is deemed best of all, the Committee will present another trophy suitable for use at the 19th Hole. Should two or more clubs send in an equal number of stories, or should the Committee consider two or more stories of equal merit, the identical trophies will be given to each tying contestant. The Committee prefers, of course, stories that are new and original, that reflect real wit, that retain the atmosphere of links or clubhouse. Whenever pos- sible, preserve the personalities involved, retain details local to your club, or of your personal experience on some course, either at home or abroad. The Secretary of your club has full details—see that he posts them on the club’s bulletin boards. And as for yourself—just get out that little ol’ niblick and dig out some real ones—for your club’s sake and for the thousands of good golfers, the country over! Lore o° the Links Committee
