PINE VALLEY, GEORGE A. CRUMP'S
MASTER CREATION, FINEST COURSE
IN AMERICA, SAYS CHICK EVANS
Amateur and Open Champion Pays Tribute to
Late Philadelphia, Whose Labor of Love
Made the Famous Links Possible

there with the splendid patience of an
artist. 1t was pleasant TO see tho varl-
colN' ed bushes that marked the line of
play and were but one OF thousands Of
refinements.
Mr.. CrumD was anxious to SEQ a golf
course embodying his ideas of the game
and he discovered the possibilities. In
visible TO many others at that time. OF
the tree-covered stretch of land. and
In tho face of many dscouragements
he went ahead. think he bought the
land himself. turning It over to the club
later on. and into the project ne, so
sure was he Of its future, put much of
his own money, and finally built a bun
ga.ow for himself at the edge of the
course, so that he could better super
intend its construction, Nothing was
left to chance. and the result Is that to
surprising degree his Ideas have found
material form. l remember that when
first played the course loved It be-
cause ] thought that It embodied many
of my ideals. but I soon discovered that
It embodied many moro OF which l had
never thought at all. Since then have
played there many times and have been
brought into close relations with the
master designer. I am now member
of the club. tho only eastern club To
which 7 belong, and I appreciate the
honor fully.
The great pity Is that there are four
unfinished holes. but the plans for them
have already been drawn and no doubt
the work will be carried out Us sIr
Crump designed It, but with the MASTER
hand stilled the crOwning touch of
genius may be missed.
II was a great work he did and tho
loss to golf is great but more than
anything else the lovable character of
this man endeared him to his friends
and made his loss beyond words to ex-
press. Once when / was playing with
Mr. Crump ] stepped aside TO watch
a workman and happened to mention
to him how happy / was in all this
golhng wonder. lie said that he too
loved Mr.. Crump and would rather work
for him than any one else in the world
When left Pine Valley last fall
Mr.. Crump stood at the door and as
our automobile drew away the last
words that reached me were: See Won
again next year, Chick !" And now next
year has taken on new meaning: n
has become eternity.

golfers OF the country II Is hard to
speak of the shock TO his friends. but
know what II meant to me, although
dld not hear of his death until many
days afterward, and ! write of It now
with eyes moiStening at the thought Of
him.
George A. Crump was not 80 we'll
known In tho West as he should have
been, for most of his golf was played In
the vicinity OF Philadelphia, where he
lived. For twenty years or so he had
been reckoned among the leading golfers
Of eastern Pennsylvania. but the only
time can recall that he played in m
important tournament in the West was
at the national amateur at Detroit, and
that city is merely n border line OF the
West
Mr.. Crump was n man who loved golf
for its own sake. and he loved the good
shots of the game and he learned to
make them. More than most men. how
ever, he realized that the making of
good shots must be encouraged by good
courses. There are many good courses
around Philadelphia, but Mr. Crump's
ideas of a good course went beyond
anything that had been achieved and his
vision led to the building Of a course
that win always be a monumep' TO

fourteen holes are completed, tR the

has accounted for six Boches in the
last three days, including a German
sniper, who had been bothering the
Americans for some time. He located
the sniper in a tree and maneuvered
a whole morning to get in position
Then he took a single shot. Observ-
ers saw the sniper tumble from the
tree The corporals best work. how
ever. was the killing Of three boches
inside OF five minutes. Officers vouch-
ed for the feat
In an opening across an Alsatian
valley, where one sector of a German
trench cuts another. the corporal
noted the time for relief OF guards
and made the necessary arrangements.
He got the first three boches to at
tempt crossing the trench intersec-
tion with just three shots. No others
attempted to pass
