the intervening grass blades before
sinking his four-foot putt.
Furthermore, he displayed the true
golfers instinct by "waggling" entire

pellet into the cup.
The scene was the first green at
the municipal course in Breckenridge
Park Tuesday, the coolest day San
Antonio has had since the present al
legged winter arrived.
EYES" WERE COLD
II the "wizard of the blindfold' was
seeing through his fingerhps. as he
says he does, his style must have been
cramped considerably. The members
of large gallery which followed
Thompson as he played the hole had
their "eyes" crammed down in their
overcoat pockets.
Tom Lally, San Antonio Country
Club professional, held the flag while
Thompson welded his trusty putter.
George Dow. new pro at the municipal
links, stood slightly to one side and
mentally corrected Thompson's putting
stance.
As to the number of strokes it took
Thompson to reach the first green (;
in the first place, 1t doesn't matter
much, and, in the second. no exact
figures are available. As a matter of
fact. he not only proved himself able
to see with his eyes very thoroughly
bandnged (skeptics to the contrary,
but he also proved himself about the
rottenest golfer to visit San Antonio
in years.

His strokes on the hole included n
drive, goodly number of midiron
shots, four or five nashies, and three
puts. But, it wasn't because he
couldn't see the pesky pellet-he sim
ply insisted on lifting his right leg,
or whatever it is the pros tell you
should not be done, and topped" the
ball. Following each shot he would
walk directly to the ball and prepare
TO swat it again. He safely. eluded
the two traps to the right OF the fair
way and never deviated from the
straight and narrer."

tired, formerly of the Ordnance De-
partment, has been appointed a briga-
dier general in the Ordnance Reserve
Corps. 1t was largely due to Gen.
Thompson's work, extending over a
period of many years, that the pres
ent high state of efficiency of the
service shoulder rife was attained
and since his retirement from the ac-
tive list of the Army, several years
ago, he has been devoting much of
his time to development of a salts
factory semi-automatic shoulder rife.
At the commencement of the war he
was recalled from the retired list and
made chief of the small arms division.
For his work at the head of this divi-
sion he was awarded the distinguish
ed service medal. Later he was ad-
vanced to the temporary rank of
brigadier general and made director
of arsenals. Indiana University has
conferred upon Gen. Thompson the

Pra. du Chen Mill
Lockout Still Holds

PRA. DU CHIEN-The strike of en-
ployes of the Pra. du Chen Wooden
Mill, confined mostly to the weaving
department, has been in progress for
about six weeks. During the past two
weeks the mill has been operating
with reduced but gradually increas-
ing number of operatives, the weave
room now running at half capacity,
despite the "picketing," which has not
been in all respects orderly.
The union organization which fol-
lowed the walk out has not been rec
ognized by the mill management and
there seems to be no prospect of such
recognition. The mill management ev-
identity regards a closed shop as an
unavoidable proposition in this city
and would prefer complete shut
down. Business concerns in the city
are naturally interested in the distri-
button of the pay roll of the mill,
which normally exceeds $4,000 a
month
