The caddie master at the city golf
links bought for s147 a humber of
golf sets from a group of discour-
aged players. Each man regardless
of the value of his set received the
same sum of money. AS soon as the
course opened, the original owners
went to the caddie master and de-
manded their old clubs. He told them
he would gladly return the sets at
50 a piece. The golfers grumbled,
but every man of them shelled out
the money. In this way the caddie
master made a profit on the deal
just equal to his first cost price Of
six sets. How many discouraged
golf fans sold their sets.
