selves have judged the finest putter
of the lot-will be able to look q much
as he pleases. And 1t won't cost .
dime to the spectators.
The match is to be put on by the
Spalding trio Of paid performers who
have travelled up and down the land
for several months showing their shot
making technique before thousands OF
links fans. Jimmy Thomson, gener-
ally conceded to be the longest smiter
OF an ounce and two-thirds of rubber
in the world, will pair with lawson
Little, Canadian open champion and
former amateur king. against Horton
Smith, master Of the putter. and Why
Cox, renowned over the world for his
mastery Of the No. and No. Z iron
clubs. The match will get under way
at 2 o'clock and the shots will be ex-
planned by radio loudspeakcr from .

up for golf generally. Spalding Is TAX

Of the answer.

will have . decided bearing on the
Southern situation.
It might be added that Bob Zuppke,

ule that waits on ahead.
