RETURN OF GOLFER
M'NAMARA AGAIN IN CHARGE
OF LOCAL LINKS.
Says the Houston Course Rivals
Anything in the East for
General Lay-Out.
"Tommy" McNamara who lost Na-
tional honors In the last open champion-
ship to George Sargent by bad play In
the last seven holes has returned to take
charge of the grounds and give Instruc-
tions In golf at the Houston Country club.
During the big tournamept the work of
Mr. McNamara was watched with the
wide open eye by all members of the local
golfing fraternity and his arrival In
Houston has consequently meant the pro-
pounding and answering of numerous in-
quiries anent the various phases of the
contest.
To all he has replied with his usual
reticence simply stating wi??i Caesarian
brevity that he had came" saw and
got conquered; but all who noted the
progress of the tournament In the dally
newspapers are well aware of the fact
that the local professional played a bril-
liant stick throughout the first and mid-
dle stages of the game and was expected
to win till the very last.
To most of the resident golfers it will
be news to know that the sudden streak
of hard luck near the finish was due to
heat prostration and that the runnerup
was on the verge of succumbing when the
last hole was reached. The high tem-
perature during the tournament and its
effects upon several of the players seems
to have been touched upon rather lightly
at the time by the Eastern newspapers.
IMPRESSED WIThTiOI'STON COURSEJ
When asked for an opinion of the new
home of the Country club to which the
organization Has reiooved during the time
that Mr. McNamara spent in the East
the latter responded with colored sen-
tences. "Houston has the making of a golf
course" Baid Mr. McNamara yesterday
afternoon "that in time will class with
anything In the East so far as concerns
the natural layout and It only remains
for time and good treatment to bring out
the advantages. Holes No. 8 and IK sim-
ply can't be heat for both native beauty
and beauty from the standpoint of the
golfer.
"The approach and natural -hazards hold
forth unusual possibilities to both the long
driver and the man who can not drive
far but who relies upon care and his
knowledge In the handling of his stick
to overcome the handicap; whereas the
player wrho combines both qualities is
given the lead over his. opponents which
Is Justly his. The happy combination of
a pretty layout and beauty of the scen-
ery which after all furnishes food for
a good part of the golfer's enjoyment Is
a feature of the Houston links to be
esteemed for Its full value."
Mr. McNamara was out yesterday after-
noon with Mllby Porter B. A. Baldwin
and others of the local golf votaries for
a tryout on the new course.
FUTURE PLANS DISCUSSED.
The residents explained In detail the
work of converting the new home of the
club from a wilderness Into Its present
state and during the afternoon plans for
the future were discussed. It is stated
however that some time will be required
to work out all preliminaries and It is
not yet ascertained If the handicap com-
mittee of last year Is a standing one uiost
other committees and officers having been
reappointed at the annual election.
The players remarked upon the excel-
lent manner In which the grass of I lie
greens is coming on assisted by recent
rains and fertilizer. The green sward Is
beginning to assume that billiard-uihle
appearance that Is so sought after ami
the entire course Is beginning to take on
the aspect of a well groomed lawn. With
diligent rolling mowing and light drain-
age for the next few months the links
should gladden the eye and heart of the
Houston golfers when matching begins
next spring.
The Bowlers
Heavy bowling was done al the Turn-
vereln last night when Kuhlnian ended
with 289 points to the good. Kuhlman
Is the light man on the Fats team of the
