1t looked good to Jim and myself
and we planned to make the journey.
J had never travelled much up until
the fall of 1914. except for occasional
trips to the Adirondacks, where /
went each year for hunting.
l might mention here that a season
never goes by but that 1 spend a least
week in the woods with my dog and
gun. Every golfer should have side
line sport to. take his mind off the
game; it is the best antidote l know
for the player who gets stale or
is great soccer foot ball player;
Joe Kirkwood excels at smoker
pool; Jock HutchiSon plays base ball,
and Bobby Cruickshank has great
fondness for the cinder path.
Lessons Never Seem to End.
The long trip to the Pacific was a
wonderful experience for me. Barnes
and myself were well received on the
coast. Jim was from Tacoma at that
time and although he had never visit

1 will never forget that tournament,
for 1t taught me one more lesson
about the game whose lessons never
seem to end. Prior to the start OF
the tournament Jim and l played
great deal over the Ingleside course.
but for some strange reason l slmpiy
could not get my game gong. Notn-

constant hard luck began to get on
my nerves. Jim vowed ! wouldn't nave
a living chance Of getting IN tne
money the way 1 was hitting the ball
and suggested that unless I settled
down 1 wouldn't finish any place.
I tried not to get discouraged, how
ever, as 1 felt that every poor sho'
would be my last. l kept on prac
ticing right up to the day OF play
The first round started, and while ]
was rather unsteady 1 noticed that
my shots kept getting better as ]
went along. Presently, for no ap,
parent reason, / felt a subtle mental
change come over me; my old conn
dence came back, overtense muscles
relaxed, and 1 began to play with my
former accuracy NV last round was

The bill was slipped through ,un-
