BEST
OF KIDS"
THEY SAY
MehIhorn Is Quoted to
That Effect After
Long Beach Win.

Long beacn WIN.
LONG BEACH, Calf. Jan. A.
Special to The Light Texas golf is
going to produce national open
champion within a very short time,
maybe in the next couple of years.
Bill Melhorn. who broke the hearts
Of the home folks by beating Dick
I.inares. native son, by one stroke
in the finish of the Long Beach open
tournament here Sunday, further an
tagonized the loyal Californians by this
terrible statement in a loud and fear
less interview given at the nineteenth
hole" with a mob gathered around,
after the tournament.
COOPER'S THE BOY.
Bill elaborated to the effect that he
expected all the other wizards of the
mashie and putter to bow one of these
bright days to the fearless golf Of one
Harry Cooper. a stocky young native
Texan, who is a professional at a
course in Dallas.
ts'"He's a player of what the race
track people call the 'whoop-te-do'
order,- said Bill. 81 could feel his hot
breath on the back Of my neck all aft
erpoon when we got into the clutch,
bunch of us, just a few strokes
apart. Young Harry is such a Merry
Bird-nothing seems TO bother him
: and be swats 'em SO far and recklessly
that, If you have a couple Of strokes
lead on him and he's playing in later
LONESOME. you can't help getting the
feeling that he's not only creeping mp
on you in his score, but he's liable 10
uncouple n healthy one that'n come
soaring over the trees and crack you
IN the back Of the neck"
COMING CHAMPION.
Il look for him to become a nation
al champion. The other fellows agree
with me. He's had a wonderful rise
in the last couple of seasons. He's
proved himself the best pro in Texas
by winning the state championship
there twice hand running. And, boy.
he's got nerve. That's what it takes"
Jack Tarrant, the former San An
tonisn. now pro at FL Caballero club.
Los Angeles, will come with the horde
10 San Antonio for the Texas open.
Jack has sent word to this effect.
1t took California TO spring some
thing TO make conversation. a whole
flock of young ladies in red silk uni
forms, including the knee-pants. pass
cd around programs at Long Beach.
California warns San Antonians 10
wear smoked glasses when Arthur
Clarkson. Of the Rancho Club. arrives.
Arthur out-dressed all the other loud"
young men in the tournament.
Scandal is being circulated about old
Holm Black. the ancient hero If
.Skokie. 1t seems that he is not only
wearing knickerbockers, but it is al
legged that he has abandoned his "a
rnous dudeen for cigarettes.
