THORPE latest
HOLE-|N-ONE
MEMBER
Washington has . new member

Washington has q new member
OF the hole.in-one club.
He Ia the modest Merle Thorpe,
Of the Chamber of Commerce of
America.
Modest because he negotiated the
eleventh hole at the Burning Tree
course, a normally par three hole
OF 158 yards, on April 20 and de-
parted for Europe, leaving his
friends to relate the incident after
he had sailed.
However, the fact that 1t was a
bona fide hole-in-one is attested by
the other members of the foursome
including Secretary of Agriculture
w. M. Jardine, F. C. Page, also Of
the Chamber of Commerce Of
America, and J. r. Mayer, q local
broker.
Page took four shots for the
same hole, Secretary Jardine took
five and Mayer took four.
Time was when Mr.. Thorpe would
have been the recipient Of 30 many
gifts from various sources as a
kick.back from his extraordinary
feat that he could have retired for
life, but inquiry today revealed the
fact that the custom of showering
such performers with houses and
lots, automobiles, golf parapherna-
liza and what-not ceased a few years
ago when holes.in-one were showing
up from practically every section
Of the country.
They are still very rare animals
around Washington and when Mr..
Thorpe returns from Europe he
will be unable to evade tho con-
CALCULATIONS which he escaped by
departing with his performance un.
