SOME MARVELLOUS
 STROKES IN GOLF
One Makes 2O-Foot Putt Twice in Succession-Oth
 CTS Shot in One.
(By Frank G. Menke.)


 Before going any farther we wish to inform you that our efforts today will be devoted to chronicling somoI of the marvellous doing of golfers-do- ings so marvellous, in fact, that they make pooor old Ananias look like a bush league performer in the Liar league.
 Well, to continue, once upon time a golfer went golfing, and with one stroke made a 410-yard hole in which bogie was four. This gentleman teed off from a little hill and attempted to drive the globule over little pond. But Ire didn't get sufficient lift to his ball and away she went right for the center of the pond.
 Jut as the golfer was about to say "tut-tut," or words on that order. something happened. Instead of drop ping into the aqua the ball dipped on- to the face of rock tht jutted out of the water. The impact gave it new impetus, and the ball bounded away the hill.
 About 100 yards farther on was a very thick headed caddy. Yes, yes, you've guessed it. The bal Handed on the kids coco, took unto itself more impetus, hurdled a small knoll, rolled onto the green, and into the hole.
 The man who made this marvellous shot doesn't want to have his name known. It seems he's little too mod est about it-or a little too something, or other.
 However, Oscar G. Reichardt, of the Midland Valley club, of St. Louis, isn't quite so modest. In an article "Queer Shots in Galf," in one of the recent issues of the Golfers magazine, he vouches for having made 20-foot] putt twice in succession-the first time because it was necessary, the sec ond time to convince the skeptical that his first performance wasn't al fluke. And the beauty of this putting, so we are told, is the fact that it had to be made with semi-circle twist. In other words, as we understand the situation, Mr. Reichardt had to throw wide outcurve with his butter to insure success for his shot.
 And then, there's the case of c. w. Sherman, of LaGrange, Ill.,, that isl chronicled in the same publication. Sherman got away with a good drive, but topped his second and his ball nestled in a bunch of rocks. Did MT. Sherman swear and despair? Not he. l MT. Sherman just went into the rocks after that ball, and soaked the ball just where it ought to be soaked under such circumstances. As result the ball rleared high bunker, landed on the green and rolled into the hole, giv- ing Sherman three on a par four hole.
 William T. Foster, of the South | Shore Country club, Chicago, is an- other gentleman who draws a place in the Golfers Hall of Fame, according to the article. While playing a 360 yard hole at French Lick Springs, Ind, Foster got 200 yards on his first drive On the next drive, using his mid iron, he drove the ball against the flag pole. The ball bounded off against an oak tree and the tree play ed carom by sending it back against the flag pole. The ball then decided it had enough pumping and very neck ly dropped into the hole.
 So many American golfers come back from Dieppe, France, with stor- les or now they mdOe d CeftdlH uHli- cult hole in one that some of their skeptical friends began little inyesti- gation. They discovered that the golf CTS did make this hole in one-consid- erably aided and abetted by their shrewd caddies.
 It seems that some years ago Albert Bond Lambert, an American golfer, driving off, from little hill to hole that was obscured from plain sight by big clump of trees, did really makeI the shot in one. When he arrived at the hole and found his ball therein, he was so delighted that he dug into his jeans and fishing out gold pieceI handed it to the amazed caddy.
 "What's this for?" asked the caddy.
 'aWhy, my boy, that's for you" re- piled the delighted Lambert. "1t isl the custom wit hus, whenever wei make some amazing shot, to stand treat and let the caddies in on it."
 And since then-well, draw your own conclusions.
