Well, boys, next week the DIM
ner match will be played. You will
have either the Duke of Rock
Sound or the Count of Key West
as captain.a The honorable presi-
dent of the geofy golfers has ap-
pointed MI Atwood Sands, who is
known by more other names than
his own and Mr.. Lionel Plummer
who is generally conceded to be
the right hand man of Mr.. Will
liam Wellesley Demeritt during
! the week days when Mr.. Haskins
is off on a trip seeing just what
makes the lighthouse work. Any
way, you may rest assured that
your captain will be of the talk
ing variety. if not of the fighting
kind. .r
On Thursday, a preliminary of
what will happen next week was
the big match between Old Bye
and Charlie Ketchum on the one
hand and Cookie Mesa and Ii
Plummer on the other. The last
two gentlemen should have won
by SO up but Mr.. Sands by MAX
ing 50-52 was able to subdue the
opposition enough until they won
by but measley up. Mr.. Ii had
the best round of any with 46 but
had he been with his Sunday crowd
he would have been minus clubs,
shirt and shoes because his friends
would have been the recipient of
same on account of Mr.. Plummer
would have thrown same at same.
You get what l mean?
Mr.. Bascom Grooms could not
prevail upon any of his office
force to indulge in little of the
pastime- on account of they were
afraid the boss would win and so
that left handed gentleman went
around with Mile the Marathoner
(you thought l was going to say
moocher, didn't your and Mr.. Del
Woods, horn toOter extraordinary.
Talking about Del-when a GER
tain band arrived in town they
needed a bass horn player. Del
was asked If he could play one;
but never having even seen one
let alone play it, Mr.. Woods re-
marked that he was the best bass
horn player, in the country. So
he was l,I ed. made a rucc ass and
got a Ten :gt;va offer for another
,, up in Mimi So that was Del you
heard N Old Man River.
The next match was between
! William Penababe Kemp and
Charlie Saias against Hurricane
Eddie and Melvin Russell and as
all good matches should be, this
one ended by a close score of 4
j up for Eddie and Mel, which was
a reverse of The ending last week.
Mr.. Strunk had a near Al on the
back round for a total of 85 for
the day. The honorable bicuspid-
ologist got lost on the first round
with 48 on the first round and SO
for the day. So there is the an
swer to the match.
Mr.. William Pious Watkins
should have been in the Armenian
rug business because he knows
how to get the advantage of an
adversary. He had Russell Kerr
for a partner and insisted that
Otto Kirchheiner and Samuella
Goldsmith should give them three
strokes a round. Coming up to the
last hole (Which was 81 and with
the benefit of a stroke it was
necessary for Sam and Otto to
make and 5 respectively while
Willie and Russell should make 5
and 6. 1t looked bad for Pious
Bill though when his team got bad
drives but on the third shot for
Otto, he had present handed on
silver platter because Otto
/ knocked his last new ball so far
into the woods that it would have
4, taken 46 beagle hounds to track
it down; so what chance did four
golfers have when the darkness
was dropping so fast that they
needed a spot light to find their
way back to the clubhouse. And
Mr.. X. wants to know why some
one does not invent sun-stopper
so he can take his time playing
golf but "a lot of Mr.. KS close
personal friends hope that that
gadget will not be invented fol-
they will starve to death before
they can finish one round, if Mr.
Otto is playing in the same crowd
/ Needless to say, gentle reader
Willie and Russell won by I up
the same score as the last three
meetings. Sometime in the flu
ture, Otto and Sam hope to be or
!. the good side of the score.
