On Oct. 29, 1902, the Lawrence Journal reprinted a comment by the Topeka Capital which stated: “The golf tournament in Topeka the other day resulted in a victory for the Lawrence team by ‘four up.’ But only a few people in Lawrence, Topeka, Wichita, Norton, Atchison and perhaps one or two other Kansas towns, know what ‘four up’ means.” The Journal added, “That is why golfers are a superior race. There are only a few of them and yet they are separate and apart from other inhabitants of this sphere. They look upon a man who doesn’t know what ‘puts’ and ‘four up’ and things like that mean, as a creature far inferior to them mentally as well as physically. The only man to whom the golfer bows down is the center rush of a champion football team. The golfer is willing to admit that the center rush may yet develop into a being fit to associate with golfers. And people who do not play golf are perfectly willing to let those who do play assume this superior manner if in return they do all the golf playing.”
