President Roosevelt holds “the big stick” golf club as he is prepares to hit a globe golf ball. Secretary of State John Hay, acting as Roosevelt’s caddie and holding several other golf clubs—”conservatism,” “statesmanship,” “diplomacy,” “tact,” and “arbitration”—looks on. Caption: A would-be champion, who is somewhat erratic, labors under the disadvantage of wielding a very large stick, and insists on playing with a big ball, but they say that his caddie is fine, and will pull him through.—From the Baltimore News.
