Aces on Ninth and Tenth.

Barnett's aces came on the ninth and
tenth holes, although not during the
same round, of course. Playing the
ninth one day he hit lee shot straight
on the pin. A lone spectator was sit
ting behind the green, and Barnett
asked him if he had seen the ball
after search around the green failed
to locate the missing pill.
DO you mean that ball that rolled
into the hole?" the spectator asked. Bob
grinned as he lifted the ball out of the
cup for one of the few aces made on
this hole. which measures PAT yards
from the back tee. Another day he
played a mashie shot to the green at
the l50-yard tenth and saw that ball
disappear in the cup.

DOB BARNETT, the little golf
X ing wonder worker of Chevy
IL Chase, now looking after
his Winter job at Miami
Beach. Fla, holds two kinds of
records for the classic layout near
Chevy Chase Circle.
Bob holds the unofficial course record
Of 81, which he has made several times,
but he holds an even more important
record than that, for during the nine
years he has held down the professional
berth at Chevy Chase he has kept a
careful check on his ringer scores and
has piled up the impressive total of AZ
strokes for that rugged course. This
is 27 strokes under the par of SO, a
mark no man ever before has accom-
plished and one which probably will
stand for many years.
Unlike Fred Mcleod at Columbia,
where the little Scott has an all-time
ringer score of 40, Barnett has not Sc
cured any "pterodactyls," or holes made
IN three strokes better than par But
the Chevy Chase redhead has bagged
no fewer than nine eagleS--tWO Of them
eagle aces-and on the other nine holes
he has secured brides. Nine eagles and
nine brides. Turn it around a little

In addition there is an eight per

fit of senior partners of the firm.
That accounts for &c per cent of

cent is allotted to seven other part
ners, OF whom it appears that five
are guaranteed against participa-
ton in losses and in effect enjoy
assured incomes provided the firm
earns money. These five ale un-
derstood to be younger members of
the partnership. A similar protect

Junior members of the house of
Morgan.
Schiff Contributes Most
Schiff's contribution to Kuhn
Loeb 6S Co., capital was $4,000, 900,
the largest single sum put into the
firm. Warburg contributed 6,0O0,-
600; Kahn $2,500000; and Walker
the newest partner. $1,000, 900. That
accounts for $16O00,000 Of Kuhn
Loeb capital which in 1929 was $25,-
100000 and on December 81, 1882
had shrunk to $17500,000.
In contrast to Morgan S distator-
ship the Kuhn, Loeb partners are
governed largely by four of theil
number. The partnership agree
ment stipulates:
"All questions concerning the
course of business of the partner
ship and the transactions which il
shall undertake shall be determin.
ed, if possible, by unanimous ac-
ton of the partners, but in case
of disagreement by vote of ma
jority of -. -Four blank spaces

addition to Morgan, E. T. States
