PUTNAM

A DanlelSon nSherman recently, While wandering in the town of Brooklyn near the spot where the Brickyard brook runs into the Quineba river, picked up from a pile of refuse that had been washed on to the bank golf bali marked with the initials H. J. T. The bali vas found on the farm of the late Frank Day. Inquiry reveals that the only golf links located on the river north of the poIflt wherestle ball was found are those of the Country club at Putnam, and reference to the membership list of that club shows that Henry J.. Thayer is the only, golfer whose initials correspond to the ones that were marked on the ball. In all probability while playing the seventh hole on the Putnam links, which lies adjacent to the river, Mir Thayer drove his ball into the Quinebang where it hoated for six miles to the point in Brooklyn where it was found. :" .,s
