SCRIBES MEETING
 DIFFICULTIES IN
 "GOLF" TOURNEY
Veteran of 13 Holes Describes Narrowing Details of 20
 on No. 9

The first round of the Birmingham newspapermen's golf tournament is over, but heartaches and footaches have only begun. Sixteen "huskes" teed off in the first round matches last week, and today eight of them are finding much joy in life, while eight of the others-wen, oh, Man.
 The gink who lisped that old battle hymn about the pen being mightier than at all when he thusIy belittled steel weapons, else he would never have chirped those words Scribes, who from ancient times were supposed to be sweet daddy to any old pen that came along, meet their conquerer in a golf club, for Of all the pestiferous, backfiring instru- ments, midiron, mashie, niblick or any other kind of a golf club takes the sweet scented cornbread by the proverbiaI league and a half.
 We know from two days experience (yes we played our IS holes in only 48 hours), that a golf club must be handled with extreme care. We also know that when the little pill falls in horse shoe track in the damp earth, that it is policy to pick the pest up and have stroke added to our score. But. like most scriveners, hardheadedness is one of our most prized possessions and it took 10 strokes, which cleaved only decidedly bluish and rank atmosphere, to convince us that such a situation is hopeless. It was like giving up that last dollar to the caddy, but we were forced to get down on our knees and scoop that pill out of the well after all. All of which accounts for that score of 20 for No. hole, easily the booby prize winner. Monday the scond round will be played with the following matches being sched- uled.
