GOLFER SCORES ACE
 WITH BILLIARD SHOT

DANVERS, Mass, May 27. Billiards and golf were all mixed up when George Thorpe. professional at the Homestead country club, made a hole-in-one.

 It happened at the 193- yard third. Thorpe belted a spoon shot earnestly in the direction of the green. But the wind promptly caught the ball and whirle d it against a shelter at the fourth tee, 25 yards away. The ball caromed off the shelter at right angles, right back to the green and rolled right into the cup,
