Texas Leads With SO Hole

Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, May 8.-A veritable
bombardment of aces, fired by stars
and buffers over an age range OF II
to II, skyrocketed membership Of the
Associated Press National Hole-in-One
Club to 246 today with golfers from
all but seven States represented on
the rolls.
Seventy-six aces were reported dur
ing the last week, giving every State
except North and South Dakota, Ne
vada, Idaho, Maine, Vermont and
New Hampshire representation in the
club that recognizes nothing but the
figure one. Texas slipped" with only
three new members, but held the lead
with total of 38. California, boosted
by 10 additions from San Diego.
ranked second with %.
AS proof that there is no age limit
in golf or the Hole-in-One Club. a
77-year-old veteran from Chicago
and 12-year-old star of the future,
perhaps, from Baton Rouge, La, col
lected aces.
After 80 years of trying, Barbaur
Brown, member of the Exmoor Club
of Chicago, realized his dream of golf
by scoring an ace on the l36-yard
sixth hole of the San Antonio, Tex,
Country Club. A driver did the trick.
Ace by 12-Year-Old.
THE 12-year-old joiner was Billy
Grisham, who used brassie on
the first hole, a 122-yarder. at the
Westdale Country Club. Baton Rouge,
and drove his ball smack into the cup.
If you still think you'll never score
an ace, give a cheer for Billy Card
of Spokane, Wash. The 17-year- -old
Spokane High School boy plays golf
despite a crippled right arm. On
April 81 he smacked out a 205-yard
drive that sailed his ball into the six
teenth hole of the Manito course for
an ace as the clubs assistant pro
looked on.
Dick Howard, 17-year- old Arkansas
City, Kans., player, got an extra thrill
out of scoring an ace on 126-yarder.
1t was the same hole that his grand
father had aced years ago. A golfer
named Jack Straight of Portland also
lived up to his name by scoring a
one-shotter, his second, on the thir-
teenth hole on the Columbia course.
Shot Boosts Circulation.
r. K. JEFFERSON, circulation ex-
executive of the Des Moines, Iowa,
Register and Tribune Co., personally
hiked circulation of his paper by at
least 20 copies by producing an ace
on the 173-yard fourteenth hole at
the Wakonda Club.
