Jock Hutchinson Scores.

Some brilliant performances were
recorded during the year, one of the
best being a card OF GA made by Jock
Hutchinson at the Glenview club. Jock
also scored finely in the Red Cross
match at the Lake Shore Country club,
at which a total of $4,000 was raised,
with Bob Macdonald, against Jim
Barnes and Chick Evans. Jock set a
record Of 60 for the 6,312-yard course,
Walter Hagen, of Detroit, also played
finely in the Red Cross match at Bob
O'Link, when he scored a record of 81.
the first time over the course.
The scoring honors of the year have
gone to Hutchinson, Haken, Barnes and
Chick Evans, while Bob Macdonald, of
Indian Hill, also had several fine cards.
Taken as a whole, the season was
quite as successful as could he expected.
and having held up so well during the
period of stress, there is every reason
TO believe the coming season will see
the game more popular than ever.

1918 YEAR
Champions Retain Titles While
ouimet, Who Was in Army,
Did Not Play.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-From a chrome
logical viewpoint 1918 was a dun sea-
son in golf. but what was lacking in
tournament play was replaced by a fine
array of special matches in aid of the
Red Cross and other patriotic purposes.
OF these the golfers have cause to be
proud, as the AMOUNT from all sources
must have run well over | 900, 0On.
The Red Cross matches under the
auspices of the Western Golf association
netted 5000, 900, and it is doubtful il
any war fund was collected at less CX-
pense. The amount OF general play,
while not quite up to that Of peace
periods, was remarkable, the daylight
saving rule permitting many rounds
which otherwise would not have been
possible.
Chick Evans, Of Chicago. retained the
national amateur and open titles he
won In 1915, and Miss AleXa Sterling, of
Atlanta, retained the woman's national
title.
For the first time in its history the
Western Golf association failed to hold
its annual tournament and Lieut.. Fran
els Ouimet, Of Boston, goes into the
! new year holding the Jitle won at
Midlothian in 1917. Jim Barnes, now
with the BroadmoOr club OF Colorado
Springs, won the Western open event at
the WestmOreland club of Chicago in
1917 and still holds it. Fred j. Wright,
Jr., of the Albemarle club of Boston,
won the Western Junior title at EXmoor
in 1917 and did not have to defend it.

SUGGESTS MEMORIAL CHAPEL
In MUNFORD CEMETERY

Editor Leader-As tribute Of love
and admiration for the gallant boys
who have given their lives for the just
cause, that the world be made safe
to live in, the writer would like to
suggest that a memorial chapel be
erected at Munford cemetery so that
lin the years to come the next gem
erations may see who died so gallant
ly in the performance of their duty.
Had it not been for this bloody con-
flict Messrs. Calhoun, Paine, Harris,
MCGOWAN, VanMeter and Kinney
choice young men of our county
would not have met death in such a
tragic manner. We would like to
engrave their names on a tablet Of
bronze so that their memories would
live on forever in our hearts.
A chapel large enough to accom-
modate 20 or 30 persons would be
convenient for funerals of persons
brought back to our beautiful ceme-
terry, direct from the trains; and in
Indictment weather the burial service
could be had in the chapel, and inter-
ment private, as is often done in large
cities.
Our boys cannot have too much
honor paid them, and such an edifice
built Of stone would be a fitting and
lasting memorial.

this was the worst one she ever had,
it kept her awake at night great
