Why "Champ" Clark.
James Beauchamp (pronounced
Beerham) Clark was known in his
early life as James B. Clark. Soon
after leaving law school he found
that a J. B. Clark was getting mail
at nearly every poslollice in the
country. Sometimes they got his
letters and sent them back to the
writers.
"I tried lopping off Ihe James
ami (raveling as plain Beauchamp
Clark, but my friends insistei
upon pronouncing it 'Bo-champ,"
or abbreviated it to 'Bo Clark,' "
said the speaker, telling me how
lie made (he change. "I thought
I would save them (rouble by ab
breviating it myself and began In
wrile il 'Champ Clark.' II has
been a good asset. II is enough
to be usually printed in full. Look
at any list of 'I hose present' in
Ihe paper. Others are mentioned
by surnames only, but my nann
