ceasng effort to unlock antlers and continue the fued. Either they were unaware or courageously defiant of the oncoming pack of wolves.
 Suddenly from the brush came the full cry of the scavengers of the Are tic-like night. They surrounded the two battling stags. Yet the latter con- tinued to ignore them in their struggle for victory. If they realized that horrid death awaited them, and that hungry wolves were to be their exc cutioners, they seemed not to care about it. They fought on.
 Then the wolves leaped upon the two helpless adversaries. It was a great feast, and the wolves made the most of it. The stags were unable to put up fight in defense of this com mon enemy. Their cries mingled with the vicious howls of the wolves until lat last there was silence
 Before the cold grey sun winked over the tree tops, the skeletons of the two courageous beasts stood, just as they had died. They were stripped of every atom of flesh.

drews. For time thereafter Tommy seemed to be on the fairway of hap piness. Certainly everything seemed serene. Golf clubs throughout the country were bidding for his services. When he wasn't teaching famous men how to swing niblick, he was making sensational drives and puts at big tournaments.
 But his first wife, Consuelo, was not willing to give up so easily. For Tommy Armour found himself we'll off the fairway one day when she went into court, and with one long legal swing ran four up on the famous golfer and his second wife.
 First, she filed suit for separation, declaring that Tommys Mexican di- vorce was illegal.
 Second, she sued Mrs. Armour No. 2 for S500,000 for alienation of affec- tions. She charged that the second Mrs. Armour travelled about the coun- try with the golfer.
 Third, she demanded from Tommy S170,000, which she claimed she loaned him from her personal fortune during

 ments they stood facing each other. Then once more they rushed, and this time there was grinding crash as the stagS came together. The two giant beasts were ineXtricably locked. Push ing and pulling, they seemed powerless to loosen the antlers.
 Slowly night crept up, but still they waged their cruel fight Far in the distance was a faint howl, but the beasts paid no attention to it. Night grew apace. Darkness fell over the silent forests. The faint howls gained in force and ominous intensity.
 On and on the two monster quad rupeds struggled and closer and closer came the howls They were the sin ister, blood-chilling calls of the hungry wolf. A great pack was closing in on the battling elks.
 As the moon rose over the horizon, and the wind sighed through the stiff fened branches, the pack drew nearer and nearer. Yet ever the two beasts pushed and pulled. Ever their un-

 Their romance was swift and they were married. Then Mary Young stymied Tommy's peace and happiness by filing her breach of promise suit, which she won. Tommy, of course, had to pay out the s1O,0OO judgment.
 The Armours had a son, Tommy, Junior, now seven years old. Tommy, Senior, continued to climb high in his profession, the climax of which was reached when he captured the Ameri- can Open Golf Championship in 1927. Later he won the Western open title.
 But as the years passed the Ar mours seemed to bound into marital traps and bunkers. For suddenly and quietly two years ago Tommy packed up his sticks and went to Mexico, where he secured quick divorce, much to the surprise of Consuelo.
 Then he followed through by mar rying the beautiful Mrs. Estelle An

an instant seemed to be lowering its head for death thrust.
 However, the heavier animal par ried and again the strong antlers were locked. Showing, pushing, for an ad- vantage, they tore about the clearing. Small saplings were uprooted or broken off, bark was chiseled off trees by the lightning-like thrusts of the antlers.
 Again and again they unlocked horns long enough to make simultaneous charges and each time they broke even. Each time their antlers met and they locked together as though in mighty vises
 Suddenly the smaller beast leaped aside, unlocking his antlers. In an in stant he brought his sharp, spreading, bone-like antlers up in quick move ment, tearing the larger beasts flank.
 Swinging about and thrusting his head up and down with incredible speed, the larger animal returned thrust for thrust. Soon a gaping wound ap- peared in the other elk's shoulder.

cup of peace seemed just ahead, when his first wife, completely ignoring that Mexican divorce, suddenly filed suit for divorce in the New York Supreme Court-naming his second wife as CO., respondent.
 Thus Tommy gave evidence that while he can stay on the fairway of regulation golf courses, he's pretty much of duffer in trying to keep out of the rough, where court tangles and law suits lie.
 Tommy's handicaps began early in his career. While fighting during the war he lost his left eye. But he went ahead with his golf, and slowly emerged to a place of high rank among the professional golfers of England and the United States. It was during the British Open less than ten years ago that he met lovely Mary Young, Scotch girl. The rumor at the time was that she was above par with Tommy and vice versa. Then along came Consuelo Carreras.

dash and in an instant the two bulls were locked in deadly combat. Great antlers, spreading more than six feet from tip to tip, came together with crash that was heard above the winds.
 They stood locked for an instant and backed away. They eyed each other for the fraction of moment and again charged. It was to be a battle to the death. This time the larger, weighing more than half ton, forced the other, slightly smaller, back on its launches. It regained its posi-

 Then, from the other side of the clear ing came another great elk. With ears thrown back and head raised in token of defiance, he approached the couple, now in the clearing centre, and made an overture toward the doe. It was a challenge that was not to go un- answered.
 Immediately the other elk made

Without even hollering "Fore" Mrs Armour the first let loose with a long drive by filing suit for divorce. She refused to admit that she had been di- vorced from Tommy, in spite of his Mexican trip. She even refused to recognize Mrs. Armour the second as his wife. She named her as the CO., respondent, charging that she and Tommy had lived together" in the Hotel Commodore for the past year or more.
 And that's how Tommy came to find himself "in the rough"

New Britain herald., 1930-10-18


 TOMMY ARMOUR, the former
 American open golf champion
 and hero of many tournaments, found himself in the rough recently. It wasn't on one of those exclusive golf courses where he usually plays be- fore huge galleries. It was in the law courts, and the score against him was five down and only one to go.
 The first time he was driven off the fairway was several years ago when a Scotch lassie sued him and won S1O,- 900 for breach of promise. Then his first wife, the former Consuelo Car reras, Cuban beauty, scored an Eagle" by filing four different suits against him all in one stroke. Those suits were settled out of court.
