Has Unique Distinction.

IT'S a pretty tough strain on a S.
year-old gent to play 36 holes of
medal-play golf. and Fred's game isn't
what 1t used to be in the days when
he could hit 'em under the wind and
make golf ball sit up and talk.
It's been long and honorable career
IN golf that Mcleod has enjoyed. Al
most from the day he landed In New
York, goggle-eyed with amazement at
the wonders of the new world, Freddie
was a topnotcher He remains the
only pro in this sector of the land who
can add former national champion"
to his monicker, and he remains one
OF the masters Of chipping and puttinz.
A guy gets that way after q few
years of hanging around golf, but
Freddie always had it. He learned
the art of stroke-saving via the short
game route on the abbreviated little
course at North Berwick, and he hasn't
forgotten an iota Of that skill over the
years that have seen him become the
national champion, frequent winner
of other tournaments and a figure in
the game which he has graced SO many
years.

Columbia Golf Pro Is Only

Win U. S. Open.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

1 golfers the country over have
\ been identified with one club
- as long as Fred Mcleod. the
grizzled North Berwick man. has been
around the golf shop at Columbia.
Next December craving Freddie.
whose golf game hasn't the kick IL
had few years back, viii celebrate
the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
connection at the big club near Chevy
Chase Lake, and already some of his
pals are planning little party to
mark the occasion.
Bert Way, at Cleveland. and a
couple of other pros in Connecticut
and Tennessee are the only ones who
have outlasted Freddie Mcleod on a
single job.
Mcleod has seen Columbia develop
into national championship course.
He's turned out some great players,
among them Roland Mackenzie: he's
played in possibly more national
championships than any man in the
game, barring Macdonald Smith, and
he still can cuff the ball around Co.
lumbia in respectable figures.
But Fred would be the last man in
the world to claim he is as good as he
was back in the days when he rated
among the first half-dozen profession
ais IN the United States--as a player
and teacher. He still rates high as
teacher, but Fred doesn't pay any
attention to tournament golf any more.

Indians Look to Feller.

THE Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates,
= by any yardstick, measure up as
the clubs most likely to take advan-
tage of slips by either the Giants or
Cardinals. Yet shrewd base ball
observers have touted the Cincinnati
Reds as the fifth horse in the pennant
race.
Admittedly, the Reds are young,
hustling, and improving, but what are
they going to use for punch and
pitching? Speed and aggressiveness
hardly figure to offset the lack OF
basic power or topnotch twirling. 1t
would be a sensation if the Reds
landed in the first division this year
but that's not to say it can't be done.
The American League, no contest
last year, hopes to develop more COM
petition for the world champion Yam
KEGS. OF chief interest is the posi-
bility that Beb Feller, Cleveland's
sensational pitching newcomer, may
do the same thing for the Tribe that
young Joe Di Maggie did for the New
Workers last season. UnQuestionably
Di Maggie touched off the winning
spark for Joe McCarthy's club. Now
all eyes are on Feller and the rest of
the Indians. their lineup substantially
revamped, will be quick to 60 on the
warpath If the young Strikeout SEN
sation makes good.
