Davidson Ilerron, Amateur golf champion in 1919. Mr. Ilerron and his bride are spending a por tion of their honeymoon in Pinehurst at the Winter Cottage of Mrs. Ilerron 's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norwood Johnson. Chick's remarks follow: "Davy Ilerron learned to play his gnmc on tho difficult and testing Oak mont course at Pittsburgh and he learned well. Incidentally, his home is at the edge of the linjks. This is a great ad vantage to a golfer, for there are many odd moments when valuable ideas can be tried out. "It was not until 1919 that the long deferred National Amateur tourney was held at Oakmont. In this tournament, from the qualifying round to the final in which he defeated Bobby Jones, Iler ron played wonderfully fine golf. His championship honors were worthily won. Davidson Ilerron was at that time very young, about 20 I think, and a senior at Princeton. Young as he is, he has played as long, in many cases longer, than players 10 years older. His first match was in 1904 at the Shore Club, Painsville, Ohio. The links are un known to me, but my informant tells me that they were at that time merely 'cleared-up cow pasture.' "Dave entered his first tournament at the Butler Country Club, when he was but 14 years old. He won the tourna ment after a 20-hole match in the final. Since that time he has won many cups and medals, but what he considers his greatest achievement was his 7'. in the oualifying round at Detroit in 1915. I have been greatly struck, however, by a Pittsburgh record that he made. Nationally-famous cracks, both amateur and professional, have been playing over Oakiuont for years, but in 1916 young Ilerron went around In OS, all putts holed.' "Davidson Ilerron is a big, strong fellow, and, of course, has been inter est ed in many other sports, but prefers golf. One of the reasons he gives is that it brings out the element of indi vidual effort. "His favorite club is the putter! A most extraordinary confession; I wonder how many of us would dare to make a similar avowal after years of experience. He is a lucky golfer never to have made the cruel acquaintance of those heart breaking inches of tho putting green. He thinks the hardest shot for him to make is the 100 yard mashio shot a del icate and testing distance to lv sure. He has never made a hole in I ; I have rover done so, either, and I am always interested in other men who have failed in that interesting feat of legerdemain, or luefc, as von please to call it.
