At this philanthropic game, none has done so soundly and sensibly by the caddies as Charles ("Chick") Evans Jr., the ex-caddy who won the 1916 U.S. Open and Amateur championships. Years ago Evans began cashing in on his fairway fame with a series of phonograph records called "Chick Evans' Golf Secrets," and devoting the proceeds to helping out deserving caddies.

There he keeps a super-phonograph, whose sensitive entrails are always getting out of whack, and a Mason & Hamlin, which he has been known to play for bosom friends.
