The boy didn't see Barrows play and

into the bag which hung over his
shoulder he didn't get wise. His man
having driven off. he started after
him. He had reached the twelfth tee
before the infuriated yells of the
players and the gallery reached his
ears and he listened to requests that
he empty that ball out of his bag"
So far as I know there was nothing
to prevent the boy emptying the ball
in decent spot. But he dumped il
right on top of the tee and behind a
fence built around the tee. Barrows
had to play over this fence to get
back to the eleventh green, 20 yards
distant.
OF course, he hit the fence. He
would have been wonder if he
hadn't. Barrows had to take a 5.
