Side Lights of the Pacific Coast Hardwood Dealers' Convention at Del Monte There a us

By "C. H. W."

Frank Connolly, the frolicsome representative of the Western Hardwood Lumber Company of Los Angeles, and lfenry Kirchmann, the Philippine kid, won the firsl and s.econd cups, respectively. They'deserved them for the "numerousness" of their strokes.

_ B"y Anderson, the virile Viking from Seattle, beat John l. Donovan, the careful Celt, three down. John had to deliver an architectural address to the Convention after the game and undoubtedly his thoughts on this interfered with his thoughts on golf. If John hid knorvn that Ted Higgins was going to make such a long introductory speech, undoubtedly in an attempt to steal John's stuff, and thus relieve him of a lot of rvork, he might have played a better game'

- Rollicking Roy Stanton from Los Angeles sprained his back making a shot out of the rough in the thiid hole, but at that he shot the best golf in,his career. He defeated the same Norse champion mentioned above, Ray Anderson, three down on the first nine holes and halved the second nine'

Tiny Grover Gearhart of the Hammond Lumber Company, Los Angeles, lost eleven balls on one hole at Pebble Beach, but at that, he played*his usual game.

In the foursome of the Millwork Institute versus the Hardwood Dealers, Arthur Bernhauer and Lester Sterett representing the Accredited Standards of Architectural Woodwork, defeated George H. B. B. Brown of the G. H. Brown Hardwood Company of Oakland and Ernest Hutchins, Secretary of the San Francisco Hardwood Club, three yp. Sgorge_ and Hutch may know a lot about other games, but although they play golf a great deal of the time, they are no match for the Fresno fire-eaters.

- R-oy Barto, the Mayor of Manila, looking like a college freshman, started out with two balls on the Pebble Beadh course and finished with three. *

Hank Swafford would have r,von his game with Roger Sands if he had not stopped on every g-reen to delivef a speech on the merits of Wormy Chestnut.
