CAT RETRIEYES GOLF BALLS
Just Little Essence of Catnip Rub- bed on the Little White Sphere and Pussy Does the Rest.

There will be no more lost golf cording to story emanatng from tlAt section of Long Island today Golfers, both amateur and profes- sional, who just can't help but slice into the rough do not worry ab slt finding the balls. And even caddies are laughing up their sleeves and feeling that a large amount of their work has been eliminated.
 Two Forest Hills residents are re sponsible for the experiment. It happened yesterday. They had been losing a number of balls which re- fused to keep to the fairway, when a brilliant idea occurred to one of them,
 Peter" neighbours cat, was the solution. Catnip was the means whereby the end was achieved, The method was simple. They merely rubbed catnip on the ball, and Peter" retrieved the sphere every time.
 foreign territory Peters services proved invaluable, The scheme worked splendidly Peter did not care for fences, trees, or sand piles. He knew what he was after.
 He knew what he was after, pointed his feline nose straight ahead and stopped only when he dropped the ball at the feet of his friends
 The only fly in the ointment is the fact that Peters owner refused 10 let him do this work regularly, IL is ru- nored that caddies have taken to training cats.
