PROBLEM OF THE GALLERY

During these balmy summer days the
Stenton Club has n temporary new as

Of being the only resident professional
IN Porto Rico. The Concaldo Vanderbilt
brought him all the way from Phila-
delphia to take charge of their nine
hole course. But when spring wings
its limpid way over the horizon tourists
stop visiting Porto Rico.
Tourists are the folks that enable the
Vanderbilt Hotel and its golf course

IN the place IS locked up. and Jimmy
Devl!n comes home for q vacation. Va
cation may seem like something of n
misnomer. for Jim can't keep away
from golf long enough 10 take one.
Being an Oh friend Of John Rowe's,
| Devltn w"nt up 10 Stcnton to help him
out, and incidentally keep his hitting
eye in trim.
Next month he will return to Porto
| Rico TO prepare for busy season in
the winter. Tournaments for the hotel
guests are held very often down there.

sides, lie spends the biggest part OF his
time in teaching.
