But news is news.

every day. His mother plays six days
a week and his father seven and some-

Mrs. Dana Davis of the Country
club has become such golf enthu-
siast that she refused to play with a
ball slightly cut or bruised realizing
that it will cut her distance or the
accuracy of her putting.
This will be sad news to many hus-
bands who have been able to discard
most of their old balls to their wives
bags.
"Chick" Trout, Country club pro. re-
Gently holed out 9 on No. at Shaw

by Chick Trout with 6s. At Shaw
