All Four Shoot Brides
Upon 800 Yard
Hole

The time was if a golfer made
a hole in one it was the occa-
sion for great excitement, or
when during the course of
round a bird was recorded it
was considered worth talking
about. Nowadays if a golfer
fails to get bird or two in
his round he is inclined to feel
peeved, but even in this age of
the unusual, when does one hear
of four birds being made by
one fourson1e at the same hole ?
Such, however. was what hap
pened recently at the Rancho
Club, where George Won Elm is
a member. Bradford Eldridge,
Dave Ross, Ray Palmer and
Conway Tearle each scored a
8 on par No. 13. The hole

The National League forced the
election Of Judge Lands in 1921.

supporting second term for him.
This peeved many American

public showed that fans every

tanned.

Judge Lands and his organization,
with the single exception OF
Charles Comiskey, of the Chicago
club, has in the past backed him
up in his stand. However, it is
not thought that even johnson
can hold some Of his magnates
together in opposition to Judge
Lands second term.

past year prominent legal firm
has offered Judge Lands part
