In a manner of speaking, he is now carrying the Hodapp. Hodapp represents an investment of which was paid the Indianapolis club last year. It is said that the purchase was decided upon by Speaker, because Hodapp sounded more like than anything, else which could be bought for And as seems to! be what the Cleveland club needs, in a degree exceeding even the realtor's need for customers, Tris to. the $50,000 and carried the Hodapp! for the last few weeks of the 1025 race.

By JIM BARNES American Champion, Teacher and Student FAR as the big championships were concerned I had no part in them during the 1911 season.

But that year found me winning the Pacific Northwest open, played at the Wavcrly Country cub in Portland. The field a very large one, two of the most prominent players being George Turnbull, who has passed on within the year, and Johnstone. It was during that season we tried out a plan at the club to stimulate interest among the members. I played a great many matches with different members, on a regular handicap basis, being rated at plus 4, while the members played their regular club handicaps. During tie period over which these matches were being played, I twice lowered the record of the course.

I tirst shot a 07. which was three strokes better than par. A little later 1 duplicated this and finally one day when the ball was rollng fine, 1 cut that by two strokes, to Decided To Go East.

In the early practice rounds I was scoring with the best, and the newspapers were good enough to prophecy great things. My name found its way into the headlines on the sport pages, which was a source of a lot of satisfaction, since 1 wanted to locate 'a job back east, and knew that publicity of this kind from would help a lot. But the of the championship was different. I qualified pretty well up.

But at that I was only three strokes back of the leaders Brady, Smith and Oregon street and Yandell boulevard.

The Indians are well lixed at shortstop with Joe Sewell. One of the war correspondents here was telling me today that Sewell was the best shortstop in baseball, and was doing right well with that proposition until I asked casually if he had ever heard of Glenn Wright of Pittsburg, George Burns is the permanent keeper of the gate at first base, and the optimistic Clevelanders expect Freddy Spurgeon to be a whale at second.

Tris looks better than ever in his golf togs this spring. Right field presents a free for all scramble with McNulty, Lee, and Zumma claw ing at each other for the job, and the prospect bright that they will finish in the order named. Tris has a trio of catchers whose combined strength is equivalent to one first string receiver.

The catchers may be rated Luke Sewell, first; Mvatt, second, and Autrey from Nashville third. There is so little difference between them that this rating is optional.

Sherrod Smith and Benny I win the championship the preceding year. Also there were present Tom McNamara and Mike Brady, both fine young players, not to mention several others who were prominent in those days. Altogether it was a great golf gathering', end 1 recall looking at some of them in a feeling almost of awe. Naturally enough 1 watched them closely, especially the ones known by reputation. One of the first things that impressed me was that you tell much about a golfer from his appearance.

By that I mean both his style of play and his style of dress. There wasn't anything like as much dressiness am one the pros in those days as one sees cm the links handling tfie clubs. With a 79 in the morning of that day, I took 82 in the afternoon round. That dropped me well back in the list and I ished with whereas McDc rmott won out with 294. Of course ttie others had to contend with the same i weather conditions, but they seemed to know how to meet them better.

Tommy McNamara shot a great on the last round to get second money, it was the second time 70 had ever been broken in the championship, Tommy having turned in a Hi) in the championship at the Englewood Golf club in New Jersey three years before. That experience taught me one valuable the golfer who expects to win has to learn to battle the weather just the same as he battles the rest of the players. It is all a part of the game, and the player who allows himself to get fussed and fretted because play ng conditions are bad is going to do nothing but make bad matters orse. From an artistic standpoint my first shot at the big titie was not exactly a howling success. But a few days Inter I recovered some lost ground.

The Canadian open championship was played at Toronto right after the Buffalo tournament. I got permission from Tacoma to stay over for it. Several of the prominent stars went up from Buffalo, including Alex Smith, George Sargent and others. Sargent won i with 299 and I finished second with So that the long journey from Tacoma really netted me as much as 1 had any right to expect, though the final showing at Buffalo was still a bitter (Copyright, 1920. by North American Newspaper Alliance.)
