year. The new president Is Hayward @.
Leavitt Of Omaha, who has been secretary
and has done more to build up the game
of golf in the western country than any
other one man Through his efforts the
Transmississippi was organized and has
been kept going until at present It has
reached it's lofty place in the ranks of ex-
ponents of the ancient game. The officers
elected for the coming year are:
H @. Leavitt, president A d. s. John
ston and Il. r. Talbot. vice presidents; John
d. Cady. secretary and treasurer. The
other directors elected were: E. r. GatA,
Minneapolis; Walter Fairbanks Denver;

is in the hands of the directors, who were
elected Thursday night and these will de-
eide where 1t will be held. Kansas City
presented the strongest claims with Des
Moines a close second. The Evanston
club at Kansas City has the golf fever ac-
cording to its representatives and the
members are anxious for chance to show
or their new quarters. They promise the
very best in the way Of entertainment for
the visiting players, and declare they will
leave no stone unturned to land the prize.
Des Moines had about the same number
Of players entered, and in addition large
number OF enthusiasts came for the OK
press purpose OF urging the claims of the
capital city of Iowa for the next tourna-
ment. Among the arguments they put for
ward were that Des Moines is in the center
OF the Transmississippi association terri
tory and that the links OF the waverly
and Grand View clubs which adjoin each
other constitute one magnificent sporty
course of thirty-six holes which cannot be
equaled anywhere in the world. They
point out that this combination course
would enable them to handle a much larger
entry list with less possibility of con-
gestion than would be possible in any
other city in the west.
Denver, which was spoken of at one time
as a competitor for the location of the
next tournament. made no bid for it, be-
lieving that a better opportunity for the
Colorado city will come another year.

The cafe also proved itself equal to tho

often congratulated for the manner in
which the table d'hote was prepared for
the large crowds which were ever pres

Many of the players were heard to COM

soon made a great many friends by his true
western spirit. The Transmississippi this
year was not his first tournament, as he
won the consolation prize at st. Louis last
year and has many trophies of the links
which he has won on various occasions.
Although not playing such a brilliant
game, he was a consistent player and was
a hard man to beat at either medal or
match play. The reports of the tourna-
ment were eagerly watched by his par
ishoners in Kansas, whom the ''parson"
said take as much interest in the game
as he does. No objection is raised in his
parish to his attitude toward the game.
