STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE
BY WALTER r. McCALLUM-

uled for March 9. Those who attended
the meeting were DR.. Bruce L. Taylor,
president; DR.. w. c. Barr, secretary;
Middleton Beaman, D. L. Thomson,
Albert E. Steinem and H. T. Shannon.
THE stanch old oak Of Scottish tradi-
i ton has fallen for the ultra-mod-
ern idea in golf clubs. The invad-
ing tide of club-making genius has at
last overwhelmed Freddie Mcleod, the
little Scot who won the national open
championship back in 1908 and always
has been a scoffer at the idea of golf
clubs of other than traditional material
and form.
Freddie Mcleod today has in his bag
a complete new set of steel shafted iron
clubs, which have replaced the tradi-
tional wooden shafted irons with which
the little miracle worker OF Columbia
has been performing his feats CT
legerdemain for so many years. He
says they are just an experiment that
Il put them in my bag to try them
out" but his friends think differently.
Il can't afford not to play them"
said Mcleod. Don't tell anybody, and
don't tell the Fede, al Trade Commits
sion, but I'm getting my pickup, too.
Just to make the other boys jealous, I'll
let you in on secret. / am getting
S500,00 a year to play with this par
ticu1ar brand of clubs But Freddie's
shots with the new irons are no Joke,
according to john Merritt, Everett
Eynon. Norman B. Frost and Fred
Towers, who watched him play with
them in yesterdays high wind
HE is playing them better than he
plays with wooden shafts" Merritt said.

TILDEN SAYS HE'D QUIT
NET GAME BEFORE MUSIC
Has One of Largest Collections of PhonOgraph
Records in COuntry-COnstant Smoker,
Never Has Taken a Drink.

He calls Frank "Smarty" and insists
he can beat him at anything. Hunter
shoots golf in the 80s, Tilden in the
zoos. They used to dislike each other
heartily. Now Frank says, you've got
to know Bill to really like him."
Tilden likes celebrities and cultivates
them. He enjoys his position in the
limelight and likes to join with others
in the same position. He smokes moth
ing but cigarettes and many of them.
Shuns John BarleycOrn.
The first time he won the American
national title, in 1920, friend in the
clubhouse offered him a cocktail.
Just for the championship, Bill" he
argued.
Bill hesitated and then shook his
head. That was the nearest he ever
came to taking drink.
He is faStidiouS about food Likes
steak or chops and always eats one or
the other before a match, usually a
steak with hashed brown potatoes.
He used to be passionately fond of
chocolate ice cream SodaS. He still
dotes on chocolate ice cream.
He loves to see his name i'll print and
has written novels and numerous short
stories. He thinks and writes fast
the ending of one short story evaded
him for q year and half. The Solu-
ton came to him in the middle of a
hard-fought match. He finished it in
three hours.
Bill has never married. All his real
devotion to women he saves for Aunt
and Cousin Hay. He is self-willed,
argumentative, but never pugnacious,
and rarely admits he is wrong. He
forms strong friendships and makes
bitter enemies. Sometimes these are
interchangeable.
Until about 10 years ago Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory didn't like him. She
arrived in England to play Suzanne
Lenglen. She went out to practice, but
there was no one to volley with her.
Tilden had just finished hard match
and was very tired, But he saw Mrs.
Mallory's predicament. went out and
gave her a real workout. They have
been warm friends ever since.
Charley Pyle tried to argue him into
turning professional in 1925. Tilden
had turned down his first offer in 1920
while returning from Australia with the
Davis Cup. He refused again and
Pyle, nettled. said:
MI. Tilden, / think you are a
blankety- blank fool"
Mr.. Pyle" replied Bill serencly, Il
think you're right"

BOBBY JONES GETS
. ST. ANDREWS SEAL
Still Honored Member of
Royal and Ancient Club
Despite Movie Golf.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ut. ANDREWS, Scotland.-Robert
Tyre Jones, jr., is to remain an
honored member of the Royal
and Ancient Golf Club as long as
he jolly well pleases.
His new role Of highly paid professor
of the theory and practice of par at
Hollywood is no reason whatsoever for
taking the welcome mat off the royal
and ancient doorstep when Bobby visits
st. Andrews. And you can take that
from Norman Boase, than whom there
is none more sspient on the subject of
the royal and ancient sin.
He is the chairman of the Royal and
Ancient Championship Committee, men,
Der of the Rulss Committee, chairman
of the Greens Committee, in fact an
elder statesman of golf. And he has
won 40 golf medals.
Provost BoaSe announces, and adds
that he Is happy to announce, that
Bobby Jones will remain an honored
member of the Royal and Ancient Club
unless he commits a misdemeanor which
would force him to resign. Said mis-
Qemeanor Delng 1allure 10 S2nd the
modest annual membership dues for the
Royal and Ancient Golfers.
Since September 30, 1926, the Albanian
has been an ordinary number of the
most famous golf club in the world.
AS seen from ST. Andrews, Jones by
the decision of the Championship Com
mittee of the United States Golf Asso-
citation has only been declared ineligible
to play in events sponsored by that
body. Presumably, he remains an
amateur golfer and member of the
Royal and Ancient just as he is a mem
Der of his old home club at East Lake
There are a number of golfers in the
exclusive lists of the Royal and Ancient
who, like Bobby, golf for profit or, more
correctly, profit from golf, but they do
not golf so well or profit so much as
the American champion.
When Mr.. Boase announced his view
of Jones' position in London at the
annual meeting of the Ladies Golf
Union, which isn't golfers trade union
but the governing body of the Womens
game in Britain, it was greeted with
cheers from the ladies as well as the
gentlemen present.

tennis, the stage, music end bridge. He
played base ball and hockey at prep
school in Philadelphia and was rather
good. His brother Marmaduke taught
him to play tennis. beat him consist
emily. but died before Bill became great.
Bill long ago reached the professional
stage, but he isn't considered a good
actor. He knows the technique, can
memoriZe the lines of every one in the
cast, but he becomes self-conScious. He
has high-pitched dramatic voice. He
probably never will be good actor.
But I don't care" he says. Il love
and-let's say I'm selfish about it."
A Bug on Music.
Music ranks next in his devotions.
He has attended so many operas that
he knows most of the lines. Bill plays
no instrument, but he has one of
the largest collections of monograph
records-all of singers-in the country.
Every record Mary Garden ever made
is in the collection. He plays them for
hours at time.
IF 1 had to give up either tennis or
music" he said at the height Of his
career, II would give up tennis"
Big Bill is full of mannerisms. The
same tricks. gestures, voice infections
and attitudes that caused so much COM
ment on the courts are part of his every
day actions. They annoy most Of his
friends. The closest ignore them.
He plays bridge as well as he plays
tennis and almost as much. He makes
frequent remarks, "Oh. what a rotten
hand" or "Well played" to his part
ner. or the reverse Contract bridge
is his favorite. Frank Hunter teams
with him as he does in tennis. They

LOB IS D|SDA|NED

Braid Was Last Champ Who
Was Skilled in Craft.
Steel Crimps Art.
by LAWRENCE PERRY.

- FORGE Won ELM'S state
" ment that he is not quail
~ fed in any way to become
golf professional is taken
by his admirers to mean that he
cannot make or mend clubs or
look after shop.
In this country the statement
was accepted calmly enough; no
American golf enthusiast expected
the former Salt Lake amateur to
show either mechanical skill or
ability to run golf1ng supply
counter with the aplomb of a
tradesman.
But the curious and interesting thing
is the English reaction to Won Elm's
confession. 1t has been one of the
solid beliefs of American golfers that
the British pro was a handy lad with
tools and that part of his assets was
the ability to turn out regulation club
OF any sort from a log of wood. Evil
IDENTIFY this is not so. Won Elm. says an
| English commentator. need not worry
'CVu1 Aiho hIdDAALGy W Hldhe CluD OF
to repair one.
Braid Was Expert.
And from another source we learn
that the last British professional cham
| pion skilled IN the craft of making golf
clubs was old James Braid. Thus goes
by the board very fond illusion.
British mercenarieS, without exception,
have been pictured as expert craftsmen
ExylHn 10 IL,
they performed their feats on fairway
and green.
And. let it be whispered certain
members of the British Ryder Cup
| team in this country q few years ago
in Worcester, to be specific-were at no
pains to diSpel from the writer's mind
what now appears to have been an
error. AS matter of fact, in that
humorously canny way of theirs-it
| must have been humorous-they led
this gullible scribe on and on until he
was inclined to gaze upon those British
pros with the admiring awe that
Florentine urchins bestow upon the
silversmiths by the Arno.
Leave 1t to Aides.
The truth is that English golfers
have felt for some time that PLAYERS
OF distinction should not be restricted
and hampered by duties at the work
bench. To their assistants Is left the
work Of turning new shaft or mend
ing a broken club.
Then, as Endersby Howard, the
eminent English critic points out, the
| fine art has gone out of club rnakirr
