BOmbSheII ExplOdeS
A bombshell exploded at the
Congressional Country Club with
the announcement that the board
of governors had requested the
resignation of the pro, Alex A.
SANDY" Armour. Some of the
members, hearing of the threat
ened ousting, were aroused over
the boards action.
John c. KoonS, chairman of the
board and club president, was re-
ported as saying that Armour had
not been appriSed of the boards
action. KoonS, who has the final
authority in the matter, expects
to confer with Armour within a
few days and then announce his
decision.
The board declared that an
economy move was the sole cause
of it's action. The board also an
nounced that T. B. Horner, man.
ager of the club for the past year,
would not be retained.
