Judge Wh.tcomb of the district
court is, normally, a most careful
motor car driver. On the streets of
the city in the evenings he never was
known to exceed the speed limit and
he obeys every signal and crossing
warning. The judge also is an ardent
golfer. His friends insist. with no
little concern. that golf will make a
law violator of the distinguished gem
tiemah before the season is over. On
his way to the Shawnee links, it is
said. he is as anticipating as a kid
within a few blocks of a swimmin
hole.
Fate has ruled in favor of Bill Eden
of the Country club. In a match one
day this week Eden broke his driver
and his brassie in unfortunate tee
shots. His spoon was the only wooden

hole his tee shot was dong but
bounced in the rough. With that
spoon he Gu it out of the tall grass
and it came to rest within few feet
of the pin. Now Eden has conquered
his spoon and the loss of his driver
and brassie has been salved.
A. E. Blyth has been termed the
might Hawk of the Links" at the
Country club. He plays every even
ing until dark and usually plays alone,
without opponent or caddy. His six
feet three. clad in duck, is a fami-
liar sight on No. Is each evening as
the crowds gather on the veranda.
To be such a popular golf compan-
ion that five men place themselves on
a waiting list to draw her for a 2-ball
Scotch mixed foursome is the enviable
reputation gained by Mrs Frank Bur-
row of the Country Club. Mrs. Bur-
row plays a long consistent game, she
is fast walker and never tires near
the end of the round.
The chugging of gasoline engines,
the grinding of machinery and the
yells of workmen on the concrete road
construction along the east border of
the Country club furnishes an orig
inal and convincing alibi for the
shooters who insist that they play
