Lynn Sizer, chairman of the house
committee at Columbia, and Cap
Coles, one of Columbia's older members,
visited Ashville, N. c., few days ago
and came back with yarn that shows
something, we don't know what, about
the predicaments q golf ball may find
itself in and what the player may do
to get It out.
On one of the holes Of the Ashe-
Vile course Sizer put his second shot
on the green. where he had a sure
par 4, while Sizer put his tee shot into
a marshy place of the line to the hole.
His caddie found the ball deep in the
bottom of a large tin can and Sizer
was laughing as he contemplated win
ming the hole with a and watching
Coles try to get the ball out of the
can. But Cap turned the tables.
He swung on that tin can, with the
ball in 1t, and in some manner the ball
bounced out of the can and stopped
only few inches from the cup, where
he sank the putt for birdie 3 to win
the hole from Sizer. And now Sizer
believes in golf miracles.

comes from the club at Annapolis that
club officials feel the course cannot be
brought into sufficiently good shape
to hold the tourney, which was

thought a closed club tourney may be
held on october IL. Members OF the

down to Annapolis last Thursday and
played the course.
No man ever has had better chance
to break 20 at Columbia than Gerald
Russell, visiting British barrister, had
In a match with Albert r. Mackenzie

teenth, and made a weak chip at the
