all his old-time skill. Harry laid
off golf for a time after winning the

a confirmed slice. which was funny in
the man who has been nick-named
Hooking Harry" Yesterday he found
out his trouble, and romped over the
last nine at Columbia in 80 strokes,
picking UP brides on the tenth, twelfth,
sixteenth and seventeenth holes.

ger of a golf ball. Walter hit one so
far on the twelfth hole at Congressional

to the green with spade mashie. The
hole measures more than 500 yards in
length. From the fourth tee he drove
hole high on a hole which measures
about $50 yards. He played with Tom
