Blue Hills club, Kansas City, Mo-, were
just coming from the green. Hurley
and Clark threw up their hands and
yelled. This was the first intimation

mashie and it went in that's all 1

Bonebrake has been caddying at the
Country club for about six years. He
has only been playing golf for a year
and a half, yet he shows remarkable
accuracy and peculiar skill in making
his strokes. He is an unassuming
chap and always plays golf with an
air of nonchalance that many crack

Praise Shawnee Course.
Professional golfers from four

and Nebraska-played over the new
Shawnee golf course Monday after
noon and pronounced a great future

will be an excellent one as soon as it
is matured."
