the assembled delegates may riot and

Get of Kilmer's Stallion Have
Earned 1,7se, 900, With Sun
Beau Most Famous.

in COMPARING the records of Sun
Briar, his leading stallion, and the
English stallion, Son-in-Law, Willis
Sharpe Kilmer develops the fact that
the get Of Sun Briar have won more
than 81, ,796,000 in competition. This
Is more than 100000 in excess Of
Son-in-Law's total, even though the
latter entered the stud the year Sun
Briar was a juvenile and won the
Hopeful.
Other stakes won by Sun Briar as
o youngster were the Great Ameri-
can, the Grand Union Hotel and the
Albany Handicap. Kilmer also estab-
fishes the fact that Sun Briar has
sired 113 colts and Ill f1llies, and that
famous as the sons have been, the
daughters have also done well. Sun
Briar's most famous son is Sun Beau,
worlds largest money winning thor

On the other side Kilmer feels there
fs much to be proud Of, and that the
fllies predominated In Sun Briar's
crops Of 1924, 1927 and 1881 and that
the crop Of 1885 may also show the

Although reports come in from time

5 pounds being caught, we are q bit
difhcult to convince unless we see the

q very big fish indeed. Even a s.
FOUNDER is some fish and these are not
caught with any great frequency.
The biggest authentic catch we have
been able to record so far this season
Is the one made by Ted Trimmer of

pounds 10 ounces, and Trimmer has

HIS RECORD BEST
IN RECENT YEARS
Leads in Money Winnings.
and Average Scoring
for This Season. !
BY w. r. McCALLUM,

BY w. r. McCALLUM.
T 7 AIRY COPPER, the hard-luck
- guy Of American golf, not only
| leads the money golfers Of
America in the chase for the
Radix Trophy, but also tops all the
pros in money winnings as the paid
prirna donnas square away for the
Northwest tour, an innovation in mid
Summer professional golf.
Cooper picked up 81 1900 at St. Paul,
placing him at the top of the pro
money winning list since January ].
with total Of s5,944. His record
since January, 1884, is the best in
scoring Of any American pro. The
diminutive Chicago pro, born In Eng
land 80 years ago, has played 200
rounds Of golf for an average Of 72iG
strokes a round, which may give yoIi
an idea Of how good he is never to
have won national championship.
Pros Say He Is Best.
TOPPER is unique in golf A top
~ notcher for many years, and prob
ably the finest golfer in America over
the last four years, he never has gore
abroad to play for the British open
championship. But he promises him
self to do that next year. He never has
been back to England since he left as
a boy of 10 years and settled in Texas.
where he first made his mark In pro.
fessional golf.
And if you don't think Cooper Is
tops, listen to what his brother pros
think Of him. Bob Harlow, tourna-
ment manager. for the P. @. A., wires:
Twenty-Five Of Harry's brother
tournament golfers, en- route to VAN
couver. agreed that Cooper is the
worlds best golfer. He once figured
in a play-of for the national title and
this year finished second, so while he
never has been national champion,
he has played the same sort of con-
vincing golf in the supreme test that
he has played in all sorts Of competi-
tions in every golfng section on the
North American continent"
Since January /, 1886, the Copper
man, probably the fastest SHOEMAKER
in the world. has played 64 rounds III
the contest for the Radix Trophy, and
has averaged 71.05 in the six-month
stretch. That's the test of consistency.
Looks Easy for Cruickshank.
RBoBBY CRUICKsHANK, Rich
mond pro, should qualify handily
for the P. G. A. championship when
the sectional qualifying rounds are
played over his home course late IN
September. But Bobby hasn't always
been as fortunate. Three years ago the
Richmond Scot came up to Kenwood
to play in the p. G. A. trials and
finished outside the group Of qualifers.
It's nice thing for the local P. G. Il.
to do when they assign the sectional
tests to Richmond. The Virginia
capital hasn't had an important
tourney, outside of the Southern
amateur, in several years, and Bobby
has been a fine figure in the game.

his less experienced rival.
