v ( HUNTER VICTIM OF THE BIG WAR Cluck Evans Speaks in j High Terms of Famous British Golfer LAST SEEN WOUNDED Hy CHARLES (Chick) EVANS, Jr. Among tho many golfers who have u men vicums or. tnis icrrinio war prop- wiy ina uno nesi Known ill .vnivricu was Xormiu Hunter, who camo over Jlrtt with the Oxford . Gnm t) r I d g o team Tlila team m very successful, nnd Norman Hunter particu larly distin guished himself by making . record of fcoven-ty-two over the Chicago Golf Club course. This was a re in irknblo tcore w Ith tho olit hard hall and in as untouched for a number or jenrs. Dur-1 trifr that visit cir.Ri.i:s i:wxs many clubs and made, many friends. Of course, nt that tlino wo'rcally had nothing quite good enough for tho Brit ish team. l In 1912 Xounan Hunter camo over1 train, this tlmo ti play Inour national, which wan at tho Chicago CJolf Cllib' that jear, and ho had tho opportunity I to renew old friendships and to mal.o ' inaiiv new encs a rithcr tnsy, thing for lil tii to do, for ho had all tho lino j (untitles of tho best HnglMi rportsmen , Heat Tnrccs Default Tho national tournament uf 1912 has gone down In history as the torrid one. for such a prolonged season cf heat had never been Known. Not a Mnglo day of that vvholo week could bo called rea- xsonibly cool. In ton?equenco our Kng llh visitors, dicssed In tho tweed cos- ume of Ilrlt.iln. suffeied terribly, nnd Harold Hilton, who then held our title, was beaten In tho first round. Norman "."iSundS retire from the match under tho im- pTauvo. oruers or ins pnysician. He I staled on In America for u conslderiblc tlmo after tho tournament, playing prin cipally c-vcr tho eastern courses. At that tlmo Mr. Hunter lived In Lon don, hut ho vias nn old Hast Lothian i!aer, a pupil of Hen Saycis, at North Heiwlck His stance was Ioo":e and i open He got down so low to his ball i that ho almost crouched. His swing was very run nnd his follow through had n corkscrew finish. At olio time It was lu'llcved that ho would hn olio of tho greatest of tho Scottish p'aeis, but, al though he was always a formidable mm to m'et, ho did not quite fulfill the piomlso of his early youth Disappeared in Iiatllc Norman Hunter entered the war very rarlj nnd was n lieutenant In the Tourth 'W'arwlcks, attached to the l'ourth llnyal l-'usllteis It was on June 17, 1S1B, that ho wis last seen. Ho was viounded, nnd In .1 trench that fell Into the enemy's hands ITom that day to this no word concerning his fate has cached his family und friends. Vot dass nnd weeks and months they Imped that ho was a prisoner In Ger many, for It was :l natural sunnosltlon k ' iiL l -H Is JB that he had been taken prisoner. But.'tntmn when tho monthly reports were no vv.ord his ever come, and now. nftel all this waiting and hope died hard In tho hearts of lila friends It Is be- llevl thnt he Is no longer among the living;. Surely, If ho were allvo In C.er- mai.y, fomo word or hint would havo leached his anxious frlenda Ills doith Is a great blow to llrltlsh golf. Not only was ho u very good player, but ho belonged try tho Inner circle that ran tho HiltlMi championship meetings and ho v.w vciy well liked Ho was a man of lino athletic build, a truly powerful athlete, a fact that makes his early death tho more regrettable. 1MI1LMOXT CLUB PROSPERS Net Profit of $4840 Shown by Presi " dent's Report The Phllmont Country Club has pros pered In pplto of tho handicaps brought about by the war, according to the annual report of 1.111s1 A.
