THE GOLF SHOW.
By CHICK EVANS

l have accepted an invitation for participation in brand new inno- vation In golf-the Golf Show.
 had been wondering for some time just how long it would be be- fore the country heard announcement of big golf show, like the auto shows and others which are regular events. I'll say l. didn't have to wait long. I had hardly thought of i, when along comes word that Cleve- land is to do it.
 The Cleveland affair is not to seek to rival the auto show. and, in fact those who have suggested it do not designate it as a show but as big golf party. It will, however, be ir the nature of show and I predict that this idea will take hold imme- diately throughout the whole coun- try. l see in the offering big an nual golf show, or two of them, one in New York, the other in Chicago, before many more years The Cleve- land innovation will certainly be the starting point for such events in the golf world.
 Phil Arnold, chairman of the enter tainment committee of the Cleveland District Golf association, with his committee associates. Lee Uhlel and Pip Danforth, break into Golfs Hall of Fame with their original idea for. such a golf party. Show at Cleveland.
 Tt is our purpose to put on this golf party in Cleveland the latter part of April" MT. Arnold writes me. This meeting is to be instructive as well as entertaining for the Cleve- land golfers. We plan to hold it In the ball room of the Hollenden or the Cleveland hotel. We would equip the room with golf nets. etc. Our wish is to have prominent golfers demonstrate the different clubs and the proper use of them. This show should greatly increase golf interest in this territory. It is the aim of this committee this year to try to create a greater and keener interest in golf and do all We possibly can to aid the beginner"
 Ever since the days, some time since now, that I attained a profi- ciency in golf that enabled me to compete seriously and successfully in the championships. one of my great est pleasures from the game has been derived through doing my bit to spread the popularity of golf and helping others into this vast field ot enjoyment. I once computed in a necessarily rough way, the distance had walked in treading golf courses and it revealed that if the holes l had played had been stretched out in a straight line I would now be some where in western China, the mileage attained having totaled over 10000. have always been glad to make these public appearances for the aid of the sport whenever my business affairs and my finances would per init it. l can say. though. that it is seldom indeed that have had oppor- tunity to participate in anything re- lating to golf that gives me the pleasure with which l anticipate being at this Cleveland show.
 Out on the course only few golf CTS at best can be present, but at such show the man or woman in terested in golf can observe at close range Such a show should be tre- mendously helpful to Cleveland.
 One fine thing about golf is that there are no secrets. Like other players who have attained some skill with the clubs, I am more than will any information that I have obtained through years of playing. In other sports the players at the top know things which they keep strictly to themselves. In our sport the more players we can make familiar with "our stuff" the better we like the game.
 Let's have a lot of these golf shows.
