basket, pass it on, to your neighbor

TOWNSEND MAKES
A GREAT STROKE

George Townsend, that veteran
lumber salesman who can tee of
from any knoll and knock the socks
Of Of any lumber deal, is also golf
list of no mean dimension. He swings
often and hard and the pimpled pill
.pounces past points placidly when he
swings with his powerful arms. Now
MIR. Townsend has strong tongue,
a strong arm, a strong back and a
strong leg, but he has weak ankle.
Monday,-no. Maybe it was Tues
day. Yes that is right. He was on
the links at the Country Club and
playing before big company and a
stellar part he was playing, when he
was about to make the steenth hole,
leading the game by no telling how
many points. Well, he swung one of
those regular Ty Cobb swings with
the mallet and hit the ball two feet
before he got to it raising the terra
firma higher than a real estate agent
could raise rent in the first year OF
the profiteers millennium. The ball
rolled off and turned over in a mel
ancholy manner. Now Mr.. Town
send is still for that steenth hole
and has sprained ankle and q
wounded pride and a lost game and
no telling what. else.
