; Fred McLeod's injury on Tuesday
| when a ball struck him on the fore
head as he was standing at the eight
/ zenith green watching the play to the
final hole at Englewood evidently did
not hurt him seriously. The New York
papers commented on the fact that he
was f1oored by the ball. but that 1t did
not hurt him badly. Similar accidents
| have been known to result seriously
however. A golf ball travels. just after
leaving the club. according to statisti-
| clans, at a speed of approximately
| eighty miles per hour and man struck
with such missile in vital spot is
apt to be seriously injured. The ball
which hit Mcleod had reached the end
| of its fight and did not retain much OF
! Its original speed.
