TWO PHILADELPHIA GOLFERS
CARRY THEIR OWN HAZARD
WiLIoughby and Pfed Glue Each Other "Sneeze Hoe"
Various Players Do With Ball IN Trap Before Green
Wilson Makes a Great Shot,

Carrying ones own hazards around is
assuredly the last word in golf enthusi-
asm. This Is what Hugh Willoughby, city
champion of the Philadelphia Country
Club. and W. @. Pfeil, Huntington VAL
ley Country Club. did in their match in
the club championships, but it was only
because they couldn't leave them behind.
Willoughby had hay fever so that he
could scarcely see, and both clubs, feel
ing that tears and sneezes we're a big
handicap. were at q loss what to do.
"A-kerchoo-o,'' spoke up Pfeil at this
point. why not let-whusk-kee-me play
with Willoughby. I've got the chOw-wee-
sneezcs. too
THAT'S whish-zowee-e fine" said Will
louEhby. and SO It was arranged.
"Tll give you sneeze n hole" added
willoughby. "and the winners get two
"Er - kachoo o-whiske-e-e," replied
Pfell. And they were off.
An amusing incident that was rather
hard on the victim was furnished the
spectators Thursday afternoon at Merton,
when one of the gallery rolled down the
side of a hill. He evidently got stymied
on his own feet and failed to make a
good out, for he slipped and only saved
himself by grabbing the limb of a tree.
This landed him on the side OF a boulder,
and when ne tried to regain his balance
with convulsive twist he fell ignomini-
ously and slid down to the water In
which he sat. When he stood up the
water line was very, very plain, and his
exit from the scene, though winding, was
hasty.
Many followers of the game. remem-
bering their own experiences, cannot con-
troll a glad feeling when they see some
one in trap before green, and have a
morbid curiosity to see how the shot will
be played There is a shower of sand,
and then, depending on who welded the
tool, the ball will go somewhere. There
is one local golfer, C. b. Buxton, who
'eats" such a shot He likes It, and he
comes close to holing out ofttimes.
Once at Huntingdon Valley, when he
was playing with "Chic" Evans, he failed
to get the ball out OF a trap at the ninth
green Finally, he did, and after he had
played the hole, he put the ball back
In. This time-pip-two inches from the
hole.
THAT shot belongs to me and don't
want to lose IT," said Buxton, as he
picked up his ball

he was picking himself out OF n mud

more than pitch baseball with that right

Some time later, bedded down for the

something.

operations have not resulted in any

says he saw this large fish-large hav-

He jumped into the stream, determined
to catch the fish. He threw his arms
about the monster, he says, and was
soon hurled into deep water and COM

One man is said to have encountered
the fish a few days ago in a hole in the
creek bed. He StrOked the back of the
fish, which seemed to be asleep. His
courage failed him, however, and he

Determined to make the catch of the

nearly two feet long. He said he in
tended to fasten the hook in the gills
of the fish and then use windlass in
landing his catch.

A Bad Practice.

Fennimore Times: Max Mills of
Montfort had quite an experience with
kerosene lamp Saturday night which
he will probably remember for some
time, and which will also teach him a
lasting lesson. He retired at about
10: 80 pm, taking magazine to bed to
read, and while reading fell asleep. He
was suddenly awakened and found his
dressing table mass of flames and it is
supposed the kerosene lamp exploded,
as the oil was scattered about the room
He aroused his parents and the fire was
quickly extinguished with very little
loss, but it might have been serious if
he had not awakened, as his bedroom
door was closed and the fire might have
got good Roadway otherwise.
