Proof Why More Intricate
Holes Are Needed

The proof to back up Charles Fl. Won
Tagen's objections to League Island as
setting for new municipal go,f
course is now out.

Watch me-. undoubtedly then quoth
Mr.. Won Tagen as he set his ball

three?
None whatsoever, except TO set off
that feat of Won Tagen's in making a
one against an eagle and bird.
No wonder Councilman Won Tagen
demands some real golf holes around the
city. Four holes In one!
