ledo-George Won Elm
and Billy Burke. You know the
pair. The same gents who were
so enamored Of each others golf
game that they played IA holes
for the national open golf cham
pionShip and now are so smitten
with each other that they have
decided to go on a tour of the
provinces, picking up the dollars
wherever they may fall, for the
edification of American golf and
golfers.
Negotiations now are being made by
O group of members of the Indian
Spring Gclf Club to bring Won Elm and
Burke to the Capital some time during
the coming month TO put on matinee
performance at the Indian Spring club
of their memorable 72-hOle play-oH at
Toledo for the national open champic H.
ship. II the negotiations are success
full they will be paired in an exhibition
golf match against j. Munro Hunter
the Indian Spring giant who repre-
scented the club in the Toledo cham
pionship, and George Diffenbaugh
Hunters midget partner who has the
knack of holing enough brides to give
the opposing team a prolonged head
ache.
Hunter and Diffenbaugh never have
been licked in a match on their owr
golf course. even though they have
played many of the best in the land
and if they play Won Elm and Burke
in a match over the Indian Spring
course we may see something like the
TOnnc
Der, when the four-time champion drew
something like $500 folks out to see
him play at Columbia in a match for
the benefit of Bobby McWatt. Hunter
and Diffenbaugh have played Aubrey
Boomer and Archie Compston, am ng
others, at Indian Spring, and finished
all even with this famed British pair
