terest in the game permitted his
thoughts to wander from his duties Of
watching the ball One of the players
topped his ball into the high grass in
front of the ninth tee and the caddie
lost It. He put down the bag and the
party began to hunt for the ball. In
the excitement of the moment the cad
die forgot where he laid down the bag

green with a good deal of backspin in
order to have a chance at the par three.
