CHAMPIONS HALVE
IN TWO UNDER PAR
Mutual Eagle by Barnes and
Hutchison at Hollywood
Thrills Movie Colony.
By KERR N. PETRIE.


Temperamentally there may be one or
two Of the upper ten In the golf game
who are nodded on the prima donna
order. but taken as a whole the profess
sional golfers are a pretty modest lot.
with a good idea of how and where
they stand in their profession. Occa-
sionally they will even go so far as to
admit that there are players In the
game who can take their measure.
Eddie Loos is no exception to this
rule. Quite an accomplished golfer is
Eddie. product of Van Cortlandt Park
public links, by the way, northern Cali
fornia champion last year, but in no
way affected by the fact. A letter just
received from California giving some
details of the doings in that part during
the visit of Jim Barnes and Jock
Hutchison proves that Loos Is still
wearing the same size hat. Eddie lost
his northern title to Hutchison, and
didn't make much of a stand when Pei
ham Jim unlimbered his heavy artillery
in the State tourney.
The Pasadena professional, however
had a good albi had he cared to use IT.,
for 1t is recorded that the stork which
was expected even before the tourney
began did not arrive with a native
daughter for Eddie until after the tour
nament had concluded. And then, in
stead of trying to square himself for
allowing Barnes to romp away with the
honors this lad Of the frayed nerves
and sleepy eyes merely remarked to
some friends Barnes is too good for
me-"
THE big champ has played wonder
81, nv
New York newspaper man, now resident
in Los Angeles, and who did not know
what a golf germ was like until 1t
jumped from out one of these Wiltshire
barrancas and fastened it's teeth in his
shins. 80 has Hutchison. Their only
defeats, two of them, were handed out
by Loos and DR.. Paul Hunter. at Pasa-
dena andAnnandale. The coming Of the
champs stirred up great interest and
the sport Is more popular than ever.
Everyone is trying out Barnes's style
Of putting. Incidentally all the boys
are trying to emulate Hutchison with
the mashie.
Jim and Jock knocked 'em clean
dead at the Hollywood Country Club.
The eleventh hole there, a par T. is "a
blind one, over a fairly high hill. The
champs saw it first in the morning
round when they made pars. In the
afternoon both turned in eagles. Hutch
ison laid his drive within a few feet of
the cup. Barnes had a putt of about
twenty feet. Say Hollywood was more
excited over this pair of eagles than it
was over the Taylor murder"
Mike Brady is going great guns and
should be big winner next summer,
according to Dan Healy, manager OF
the Miami Country Club, where "Mique"
is professional this winter Watch him
when the championships begin" writes
Healy. "He played another 6S last week
and, believe me, that is some golf on
this course. He would take an awful
lot of beating just now. There Is more
golf being played in Miami than ever
before. Our course is jammed every
day"
But It is not all playing with Brady.
Mike Is being kept as busy teaching as
DR.. Lorenz is setting broken bones.
And the analogy is not misplaced, since
attending to broken swings and broken
down games keeps the professional 60
ing. Among Brady's patients the other
day was VIII Hays, the Postmaster
General. who went to Miami with a
bad case of golfitis and discovered that
he liked the Country Club course i'm
mensely. Mike said the future gen.
eralissimo of the movies my father
was a minister out West and surprised
me very much one day by saying that
he had bought tickets to see John L..
Sullivan fight. He said, Bill, I always
want to see the best of everything
once So I'm going to take golf les
son from you, Mike"
Miss Georglanna NJ Bishop OF Brook
lawn Country Club, Bridgeport, can be
counted out of the women's golf cham
pionships the coming season. Word was
received in golf circles in New York
yesterday that the former champion is
now In a hospital with a broken leg.
Miss Bishop has held both the national
and metropolitan titles, and as she is
playing as well as ever her loss means
a decided weakening of the metropolitan
team in the tri-city matches for the
Griscom Cup the coming season.
