By Chick Evans. P AUL HUNTER, as every one knows, gladdened the hearts of his friends by winning the Lake Geneva tournament and manjr of the adjuncts thereto. We were not pleased because he defeated some of our other friends, but because he plays such de serving golf and has had so much undeserved bad luck. It seemed high time that such good playing* should meet its just deserts. Paul Hunter comes of a strong golfing family. His mother is much interested in his game. His father, C. L* Hunter, is a very good player him self. and his cousin. Robert Hunter, is a player of the highest class, who. unfortunately, has not been seen on local links this year. It appears that a certain facility in golf playing runs in families, most notable examples, in addition to the Hunters, being the Gardners and the Edwards. Paul, who is almost exactly my age, has played golf since his earliest childhood, and for years has been con sidered one of our very best players. Long before I began to play in public ksavv picture-* of Paul Hunter, a verv' small lad, with a goif .dub in his hand, in newspapers and golf magazine s. He did marvelous things in those ; -. v > and is stiU doing them. He i • .n J perfect form, a tine. free, wid ei*. easy style, and commands one , ‘h ■ I longest iron shots 1 ever saw ; «. He is a strong, big fellow as golfers go. and gets his strength into the ball to the fullest advantage. He seems to play,* however, in the mo=?t exasperating hard luck. When I he loses it is almost always by the narrowest of margins, and almost al ways there is some, rather spectacular % bit of misfortune connected with his defeats. For that reason as well as many others, I am sure that no one grudges Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva, least of all, that g^od sportsman, Ken neth Edwards, the runner-up of the event. . 202 260 OOx—6 7 1 001 000 000—1 10 4 Brennegan; Walters.
