Walter Brown is colored man
from Pleasantville, N. j., who, be-
cause of the circumstance that
he was born near a golf course,
started caddying and playing golf
at the age of seven. That was 81
years ago. Since then he has
caddied for and played with some
of the biggest names in the golf
world but, though his own game
compares favorably with theirs,
he earns a bare living as a waiter
while they have grown wealthy
through their golf skill.
Learned Under McDermOtt
Brown learned his golf under an
Irishman named j. j. McDermott
at a golf course in Merchantsville,
N. j.

The famous Indian athlete sat
in the office of Dean George
Wood at American University,
where Welsh had just signed a
cor tract for two years to act as
director Of physical education
ana athletics. He talked about
his boyhood and his struggle with
environment.
Welch, a famous story teller
and winner of the Brown Derby
for plain and fancy prevaricating
on five different times, spoke
simply of his youth. But through
the tale was the native sympathy
of a man who had risen above
humble beginnings to win his
place in a white mans world.
He was a poor kid. All the
Indians were poor. He walked
five miles to school in summer
anG winter. In the afternoon he
walked back and then hitched up
team to a truck and worked
until it was too dark to work any
longer.
This was the life that the pale
facec teacher told him was the
way he should live. 1t was the
lie of the white man. 1t was not
the life of his forefathers; not
the stirring charge against the
Sioux, hereditary foes of the
Chippewa. 1t was not the stalk
OF the buffalo that his mother
had described in the long winter
nights before she embarked in the
spirit canoe and was transported
into the land Of sunset.
Faces Conditions BraveIy
Welch faced conditions squarely
and with the stoicisrn Of his
people.
Days dragged along until one
day the Indian people thrilled to
the news that Carlisle Schools
football team was to play Mime
sofa. Gus frightened at the news.

Brown remained one of those
mute, inglorious Jonses' because
of his colorado maduro tinting.
"What are you doing on a
job like thiS?" Hagen asked
Brown, during their game.
''I've tried everywhere but it's
no use," replied the cOlOred man.

-Four of them voted against me
and that was that. So, you see,
Mr.. Walter, why I'm butler.

Since then, Brown has tried
endlessly to get a job in a depart
ment store as a demonstrator In
the golf department but the job

IF Larry plays to the peak Of his
form; IF Solters plays the ball
which critics believe he can play,
and IF Ivy Andrews comes
through, then the Indians may be
a troublesome team. There's an
other item which does not present
itself in the figures of the team.
Cleveland will be happier family
this year. The last elements of
the Johnson and anti-Johnson feud
have been removed from the
club.
There is something of a problem
to be worked out at third base
for Cleveland. Hale is a good hit
ter, but he is not a top ranking
fielder. There has been talk Of
shifting him to second base, and
playing Larry at third, with
Hughes at shortstop. Whether or
not this would work for the better
ment of the team is hard to say at
this time.
Larry Can Play Short Well
We know that Larry can play
shortstop with the best of them
when he makes up his mind to
play. He might be slashing third
baseman, for no one in baseball
has a better arm than the dash
ing Visalia youth. 1t is well known
that Hughes can play Shortstop
well enough to hold down the post.
Well, perhaps Steve ONeill will
try out the various combinations
during spring training and see just
how they develop.
Cleveland will have IS pitchers
in camp this year. Among them
will be the Washington veteran,
Earl Whitehill. Perhaps change
of uniforms will aid Whitehill.
Earl was not happy here, but at
the end of the season he perked
up and won five straight victories,
The veteran Cleveland pitchers
include the firebrand, Johnny Al
len, who can best the best when
in form; Lloyd Brown, the left
handler; Mel Harder, Willis Hud-
lin, who may or may not be good,
and Ivy Andrews, of the Browns.

great gate attraction of the year
is Bob Feller, the schoolboy who

Some 20 years ago, when both
were youngsters, Brown and Wal
ter Hagen caddied together in
Syracuse. In 1927, when Brown
was working as head butler for
family in Rye, Hagen was a
house guest and surprised his
host by greeting the head butler
as an old friend. That was the
first indication the man of the
house had that he was harboring
a great golfer in his household.
Brown and Walter went over to
the lockwood Country Club course
in Tarrytown the next day and the
butler took a 10 while Walter,
then at his peak, shot a SO.

) The lowest score he ever made
was a IS over the Sea View golf
course at Absecon, N. j. On his
first trip over the difficult Pine
Valley IN. j. course, which the
best of pros seldom make in less
than 80, he took a 76.
Illness Curbs Golf Days
Fifteen years ago, Brown quit
caddying. He kept up his golf,
though, until two years ago, when
illness forced him to quit. Since
then he has undergone several
operations and considers himself
extremely fortunate to be able to
work even as a waiter now. Some
day, there may be a market for
the services of colored golf pro.
At any rate, Walter T. Brown is
going to keep singing that old
hash with a cheerful smile, hoping
for such miracle to come to pass.

"He was on one knee" DonO-

while he had been hit pretty
well during the fight he still

MIR. Hilles Steps Out.

Charles Dewey Hilles, almost the last
OF group of old guard Republican
leaders and certainly its most distin-
guished member for decade, is retiring
from the Republican National Com
mittee. Mr. Hilles is retiring voluntarily.
His letter of resignation, handed to
Chairman Murray Of the New York State
Republican Committee, is model. He
casts no stones at his enemies, although
they have not failed on many occasions
to demand his resignation "for the good
of the Republican party"
Mr.. Hilles has never denied that he
was conservative or that he belonged to
the conservative wing of the Republican
party. 1t probably has been his opinion,
as it is the opinion of others in that
group, that more sound. progress can be
made through conservative action than
through radical measures.
His colleagues in the councils of the
Republican party organization have for
years leaned heavily upon Mr.. Hilles and
his judgment. He has shown himself

Passing the Buck Will Be
Fall and Winter Snort

To the Editor of The Star:
Passing the buck for the appointment
OF the now immortal Hugo is likely to
be our great Fall and Winter sport. But
one aspect of this ghastly comedy is not
receiving the attention it deserves. I
refer to the frenetic nostalgia that as
sails every Congress as it nears the end
OF its labors. For months it dawdles
along as if it had an eternity of time;
then suddenly the hills of home begin
to call and matters of great pith and
moment are rushed through with the
indecent haste of a sausage grinder.
When the north wing of the Capitol is
completely taken over by the wives of
past and future Senators we may rea-
sonably expect such heart-flutterings
to interfere at times with the public
business. But in those who like to call
themselves statesmen it is inexcusable.
When Mr.. Burke promised two wit
nesses to prove the charge of Klan affili-
alton brought against Mr.. Black by
DR.. Copeland, the earnest plea of Mr..
Tydlngs for a further Investigation
should have been needed by any body
OF sane men. Justice and prudence both
demanded it. Yet the two Nestors of
the Senate demurred. Having made up
their minds to vote against the nominee
they were impatient of futile delay.
Does anyone doubt that month earlier
they would have been more hopeful?

On a Day When DIR. Mary
Walker Lost an Umbrella

To the Editor Of The Star:
Soma 20 years ago big meeting came
of in the ball room of the Willard Hotel.
1t had something to do with peace or
women's rights or both After the pan
demonium was over the houseman on
duty myself got busy Strengthening out
the mess.
While in the midst of my labors in
the center of the room noticed a little
old gentleman, dressed in frock coat and
SILK hat come toward me from one OF
the entrances. Walking to meet him
and ask his business l changed my mind
about the apparition. 1t was a woman
Drawing still closer recognized her. She
was our old friend, DR.. Mary Walker
And she didn't masquerade in that out
f1t. either. This privilege was accorded
to her by special act of Congress.
The old lady was in an awful stew
She had left her umbrella. Well we
looked around, but nothing doing. One
OF the peace delegates had. no doubt,
walked of with it. Suspecting me- she
continued to grumhle. I gave her my
name, also called up the main Office.
then advised her to get in touch with
the hotel on the following morning. In
the meantime the house officer, the man.
aging director himself and most every
body about the place would become
active in the cause of the lost umbrella.
Still muttering to herself she left.
DR.. Mary Walker died not long after
this mishap. and we'll assume that this
loss did not contribute to her demise.
She was eccentric, but withal woman of
great istinction-physician. nurse and
spy during the Civil War. inventor,
writer and champion of many causes.
The ole lady, may be, was also inclined
to be bit stingy. She might have
checked that rain absorber. Nominally
there is no charge, but a donation is ex-
pected-from 10 cents up
Standing on your constitutional rights
you may escape that tribute But in
that case dirty look" may be your
punishment or else the word stiff II
be hissed after you. This1l evaporate
against your back, and, like a boomer
ang. it'll find its way to the checking
counter where it came from No harm
done. It's all in fun. And besides. YOU
are the price of bottle of beer to the
good. At least she claimed so.
