\ UT at the Congressional Coun-
1 try Club there is chap with
! a fine golf swing and an Irish
name who. like most men of

~
Irish descent, doesn't know the mean
ing of the word quit" Although Page
Hufty, who used to be champion of the
Congressional Club, declares that the
time for curling up" is anywhere from
the fifteenth hole to the finish, Clar-
ence B. Murphy, the fellow with the
aforesaid Irish cognomen and lots of
grit, believes the finishing holes are the
spots on which to put on the pressure
and instead of willing, he believes the
last four holes constitute the place
where the player should bear down. So
does his erstwhile partner, j. E. Muir
ply. and they do say out at Congress
sional that this Murphy combination
can't be beaten.
The two Murphys were all square
with M Parler Nolan and w. Berkley
Jeffress in match yesterday. AS the
match came along through the M
tenth, which was halVed, j. E. Murphy
said to c. B. Murphy, Clarence, this
won't do at all Let's pull hat trick
on these birds and show 'em they cant
lick the Murphys."
Right, that's just what Wen 90"
said Clarence. as he stepped up to the
forthwith proceeded TO hole his tee shot
for an ace on this 140-yard mashle
nihlick hole. That ace was the sole
and only reason the Murphys won the
golf match. But then Jeffress, the only
gent in the foursome without faint OF
Erin in his name, said the Irish are
ALWAYS pulling stunts like that, ana
even though his partners name was
Nolan, he couldn't balance pair OF
Murphys.
The ace put the Murphy combination
/ up and they halved the seventeenth
in par As and the eighteenth in birdie
as. thereby winning the match by rea-
son of that fighting tee shot by the
Congressional champion in the spot
where the curling up process usually
takes place.
