NORRIS TALMAN WILL SUCCEED
JIM BARNES AS PROFESSIONAL
AT WHITEMARSH VALLEY CLUB
Plymouth Country Club Professional Is Long
Driver, Excellent Teacher and Expert Club
maker and Begins Work April
BY PETER PUTTER

NHOkRIS TALMAN. the professional
AVl at the Plymouth Country Club,
will succeed Jim Barnes at the White
marsh Valley Country Club the first of
April. Ever since Thomas II. Halton.
chairman of the green committee. learned
by telegram at Tampa, Fla. from AL
bert +. Berry. president of whitemarsh
that IL was reported that Barnes was
going to quit. the club has been on a
still hunt for successor. There were
scores OF applications sent in from pro-
fessionals and caddie masters. and after
Mr.. Halton and his associates had gone
over the list carefully and seen most
OF the applicants Talman was selected
He was virtually the first profess
sional Plymouth ever had, as his prede-
cessor was a clubmaker and devoted
little time to teaching. lie came origi-
nally from Aronimnk. where he was an
assistant pro. lie is In the draft age
and is only twenty-four years old.
Hits Long Ball
He has had very little tournament
experience. but he is noted for being
one Of the longest driving professionals
In this section OF the country. He holds
the course record of siXty-eight strokes
at Plymouth. The members of the Nor
ristown club speak of his teaching abli-
Hy in the highest terms and he is also
an expert clubmaker. He has been very
ropular with the club members, and
while they regret to see him go they
realize that he will have n greater
opportunity at Whtemarsh.
Talman has developed number Of
excellent golfers at Plymouth. but the
most prominent of his pupils Is Phil
Corson, one of the very best Of the
younger golfers of this city.
Among the applicants for the Job was
one of the local professionals who has a
national reputation. but his application
was not considered seriously, as White
marsh did not feel that 1t would be
right to deprive its neighbCr club of his
services. There were conferences with
the chairman of the green committee OF
the other club and while he was willing
that the pro should change berths
Whitemarsh thought 1t best to turn
down the application rather than have
any adverse comment made.
Puts Theory Into Effect
In the selection of Talman White
marsh is carrying out its thought of not
engaging a professional with too great a
reputation. 1t believes that II can get
better service out of a man who is will
ing to remain at the club teaching and
tending to his other business rather than
making trips and playing in various
tournaments.
Incidentally 1t might be repeated that
Barnes and Whitemarsh are on the very
! best of terms. 1t had been reported
that Jim had not treated the club fairly
but such is not the case. Barnes put the
. question of his going up to Whitemarsh
j but he was offered so much more money
