Praise for Eddie Loos.

In a resume of the California open
championship played recently over the
Lakeside course at San Francisco Hay
Chapman, well known Pacific coast golf
official and authority says that while
the Olympic Clubs members who hoped
that Macdonald Smith would win, and
backed their opinions do not tire of re-
Winding their friends that Mac had had
the misfortune to lose two balls on his
first round, which accounted for his I'M
usual so to start the tourney, and that
while Abe Espinosa's blow" ON the last
round was tragic after his phenomenal
60 of the morning. the consensus of opin-
ion nevertheless is that the best and
fttest golfer won the Championships. and
1--WE all take off our hats to Eddie Loos."
All of which does not sound 50 very
much as If the entire craftsmanship Of
California is centred in Los Angeles.
From his statuesque pose in the pit on
the new twelfth hole at Lakewood, which
picture incidentally graces the pro-
grammes and postcards of the Lakewood
Country Club. Fred w. Kimball may
soon become as widely known not only
among the golfers, but also in the realm
Of art, as the works of the masters with
onisel and brush, or ut least as some of
the models whose replicas adorn certain
of New Yorks most famous buildings.
In the eyes OF the tyro straining after
style effect Mr. Kimball no doubt will
appear a veritable Venue dc Milo, the
personifcation of golfnG grace and
power, at all events. The camera appears
to have caught him at the finish OF what
looks to be two hundred yard bunker
shot right on the pin. Even the caddie,
away in the distance, seems transf1xed
with amazement as he notes the pellet
winging it's way to the green from the
depths or Hades. Inasmuoh as this
classic group has not as yet been
named. II is respectfully suggested that
it be titled 'the perfect niblickeer."
Trouble Ahead for scribes.
There is not much to indicate that
the proposed challenge of the New York
Newspaper Golf Club to their fellow
chroniclers of Boston is interfering in
any way with the getting out OF the
Hub newspapers according to schedule
without waiting for the formal chal-
lenge the gang wish it to be known
that they just eat defis." says Larry
Patton, who no doubt has been waiting
for just such an opportunity to dazzle
the Gothamites with his Leslie cup
swing. ''We'll play 'em. toe holds. head
locks and everything else to go. pro-
vided we can kid some local club which
doesn't care what becomes of its
course, to offer it for the battle. Fail
ing that. Wen play em on the Common"
AS a matter of fact 1t won't be neces-
sary TO engage any part of the Com
mon, for almost in his next breath Larry
let's II be known that the Boston clubs
are closing in behind their scribes and
that there Is a bright prospect OF the
New York team being taken over to
Bellevue. Perhaps II Is unfortunate for
those Bostonians who are hopeful OF
being present at the Roman holiday ex-
orcises that Larry should have men
toned toe holds, headlocks and such un-
savory terms in the same breath with
the name Of that club, for to a New
Yorker that is promulgating a set Of
circumstances distinctly suspicious. Per-
haps before proceeding any further with
the arrangements for the match the N.
Y. N. G. G. may decide to send Peter
Campbell. the secretary. on ahead to in
vestigate. Peter Is largely responsible
for the trouble.
