w YIFFY COX, the Brooklyn
M bombardier now firmly en-
Wv trenched in the Kenwood
Golf Country Club profess
sional berth, has been having a flock
of successes in exhibition matches
around Washington since he left his
Job at Dyker Beach to take over Al
Houghtons old post.
Some of his success has been due to
good partners, but most Of it has been
the result of some consistently fine
shotmaking by the former COB himself
For Witty. as good a mechanical
maker of golf shots as you could find
in a days travel. is more than a great
big playboy who goes around kidding
his opponents into state of scmnam-
bulism to set the stage for the killing
punch. The Cox man is one who can
administer the killers punch himself.
Good -natured and jovial at all
stages of any golf match, Witty has
that attribute of championship
knack of showing home the winning
shot when he needs it most. He has
proven that in the little matches
which have revived an otherwise dull
late July and early August. And at
the same time he has given the gall
1eryites a laugh or two along the
bunkered route. The Cox man is Just
about as colorful a performer as you
could dig up. And besides and above
that, he packs big golf punch.

fish were landed by any of his boats
on this side of the bay. but that one

on both sides of the bay, but they will
not strike.

Capt. Buck Travers Of Hoopers
