Los Angeles Lumbermen Are Sturdy Golfers

A Few Of The Gang That Played

Forty-four hopeful members of the Los Angeles lumber gang, 6raved thl cold ocean breezes to make the morning iouna in the Hoo-Hoo Golf Tournament on March 21st, at the California Country Club, in Culver City.

'Ihe morning play was started by abrilliant foursome composed of Mark W. Lillard, E. R. (Bert) Maule, Walter Gibbs and Ray Garner, all golfers of the first water, and incidentally two of them winners of prizes that were awarded in the evening. Follor,ving these gentlemen came an array of talent, varied as to golfing ability and equally varied in costume. Of particular note was the brahd new and shining outfit displayed by the Hoo-Hoo Scrivenoter, one Clint J. Laughlin. Clint blew himsblf for this party, and, with his checkered vest, his brass band socks, and the pants that struck him just below the knees, boy, he couldn't be beat. And hL played the best game of his life that day, both morning ahd afternoon, but didn'tget a pize.

was the first man to hold it, and at the next tournament Mr. Joe Chapman carried it away.

In the evening, about a hundred men gathered for a stag steak dinner, and a snappy entertainmeht provided by the Entertainment Committee, Mr. J. E. Lloyd-Jones. Somg colored entertainers provided music and singing. Andl rof course, a considerable amount of music was supplied by some of the members present, those who are especially gifted along music lines, and some who are decidedly not.

- Mr. Bert-IVIaule, the prize committee, awarded the prizes during the dinner. Mr. Maule made quite a hit in his way of giving these prizes, by giving each successful man an order on the golf store at the clttb, the winner to select merchandise to the amottnt of his order, and being able to secure something in the golflinethat he needed, rather than a ciub or bag that he possibly might already have.

Here are the boys that carried ofi the honors, with prizes for low' net and low gross, for the day:

Roy Stanton, Bob Osgood, Walter Gibbs, Jr I[. Byrne,s, L. M. Rosenberg, Barrett Hanawalt, W. M. McDonougtr, Curtis Merryman, Art Pehberttry, Paul Penberthy, A. L. (Gus) Hoover, A. B, McAlpine, Paul Hill, C. W. Lee, H. 1,. Rosenberg, Geo. Lockrvood.

Sixty-five in all participated in the afternoon play, when the real tournament was played. The game started at 1 p. ff., and the various players were teeing ofi. until twothirty when the last foursome gotstarted. The weather was not so favorable, rti'ith the strong wind and an occasional shower the boys rvere hahdicapped somewhat, and there werb no sensational low scores turned in, excepting the wonderful 84 made by Roy Stanton. He was in wonderful form, and walked awaf with the Hipolito Silver Cupl for the low gross for the day. This cup was donated by the Hipolito Contpany, two years ago, and must be won tn'ice by one man to be retained permanently.
