" Maiden, known as ie, tt Maker” of golf because of his devel- opment of Bobby Jones, Alexa Stirl- ing Fraser and other links stars, has ended his 24-year reign as profes- sional of the East Lake Country club | here and is going back to Scotland in hopes of recovering his health. He has turned over the task of de- | veloping other players to follow in| the footsteps of Bobby Jones. in the} years to come, to Frank Ball, Eng- | Jish professional. who in 1924 was | runner-up to Walter Hagen in the British open. ; Because of the modest and retir-| ing way in which Maiden wen’ about | his work, only a few persons knew he had been seriously ill several months until announcement of his resignation came. In 1907, hardly a year after he left his old home at Carnoustie, Scotland, Stewart succeeded his} brother, James, at East Lave. He! gerved here continuously until 1918, when he went to St.*Louis only to return in 1921. Pupils Win 10 Titles Bobby and Alexa, his star pupils, between them have won 10 national championships and i.umberless less- er crowns, and to the 45 year old Scot they admittedly owe their orth- odox style which carried them to the heights. Kiltie, however, never would take the credit. As a matter of fact, Bobby began cultivating his game when only al boy of six by watching Maiden play at East Lake. Today ne ‘s the mas- ter stylist. As an illustration of the similarity of their game: Bobby’s father recalls that once when his son, in his early ’teens, was winning state. championships they were at oie Hed Ala. ‘ Big Bob was talking to a friend. “When did ‘Kiltie’ arrive?” the companion asked. “Why, he isn’t here,” replied mes. “Don’t tell me, I just saw him drive off the 10th tee.” “Oh, no! That was my ‘son Rob,” Jones had to explain. Ducks Photographers Maiden, perhaps, is the only golf professional who refuses to be pho- tographed. He even side steps at- tempts to obtain his picture by hav- ing him pose with Bobby and dur- ing his long ‘stay in Atlanta the number of photographs of Maiden could be counted on the fingers of | one hand. When Bobby started on his British invasion this year, after having lost the United States open, Stewart went along to help him with errors in his game. A New Tork reporter discovered the professional far in the rear of the party aid at that could get no comments from im. Then when the usual celebration | ‘was held here as Bobby returned victorious the regular banquet took e at the East Lake club. Kiltie found himself a place at the far end| of the table. He and Bobby are in- separable until a crowd appears. ‘Then even Bobby's efforts fail to beep the Scot from retiring. cae niaen pare talks of the seer || e employs in imparting gol knowledge but an example of his ef- fectiveness in starting pupils with their game may be found in the story of a famous society woman came here for instruction. She met Kiltie at the club and the was teed up for the first drive. She listened for the mystic words it were to mean “open sesame” to} her in the world of golf.
