OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

eeooeoeeeeoeeoeeeeooeOoo
Last week, one Handsome Hor.
ace O'Bryant shot the best golf
game of his career when he had
4S-41 strokes and thereby helped
another golfer in the job of win
ming a free dinner. The score so
elated the professor that in a
boastful vein, ably assisted by his
friend, Robert Spottswood, chal-
lenged Mr.. Eddie Strunk and Mr..
: Samuella Goldsmith to a match
on Saturday afternoon. And since
Mr.. Hurricane Eddie and Mr..
Samuella Weather were positive
! the match would end % up in
their favor, because they knew
, Handsome Horace would never
shoot another 81, took the chal-
lenge with great glee. But, 10
and behold! On Saturday after
noon the said Professor duplicat-
/ ed his score of two days previous
and had 41-43, which beat Mr..
Samuella by one stroke but Mr..
Hurricane Eddie had 40-40 while
Mr.. Spottswood had 1899. The
net result was the first round was
! tied all around and the last was
/ two up for Eddie and Sam and
those boys viii hereafter refrain
from accepting any challenges
unless they know before hand
that they will not lose; some
| times the strain of trying to win
is too great.
On Sunday, the same Professor
Handsome Horace was paired up
with Roy .Lade against his ancient
rivals, Old Bye Duke of Rock
Sound and Bill Fripp. And since
everybody was shooting over a
hundred, Mr.. O'Bryant thought
he would do likewise but refrain
ed by one stroke and now admits
that maybe the Duke is little
too much for him. The skins were
all even but Handsome had to
furnish soda water and Old Bye
called for a second cigar.
j Mr.. Earl Julian was able to go
around in STAT strokes while
John Pinder did the course in 49,
46 and so they tied the match with
AL Hewitt and Cookie Mesa and
consider themselves lucky because
at one time Mr.. AL and Mr.. Cookie
were 10 up.
Mr.. Charlie Salas agreed to give
three strokes a round; Mr.. Eddie
Strunk would give two and Doc
Willie Penababe Kemp would give
one, while Mr.. Melvin Russell
would give nothing but would re-
ceive same. Mr.. Johnny Kirsch-
enbaum also received nothing but
did not want same because he had
three skins, Melvin and Charlie
had two each while Willie had
one. The little boy left in the
cold was Mr.. Hurricane Eddie
with nothing free. However, Mr..
Kirsehenbaum wishes you to know
that he had to make three BRIDES
to win those skins and by SO do
ing had the best score of "a
strokes.
Mr.. George Liera played golf
like he had been on the course
every day for year and so got
45-47 while his friends Hartley
Alburv with 95 and Walter Vim
son with 80 were elegant COM
pany.
t; Mr.. Bascom Grooms played Mr..
Freddy Beau Brummel Ayala and
each won a 9-hole match but Fred
slipped one over on the boss on
the last round and beat him one
stroke for the day.
Mr.. Curly-locks Joe Lopez came
near making Is holes in regula-
| ton figures with 1886 while Mr..
| Bob Spottswood almost equal the
! feat with 1888. Mr.. Osgood
j, Kemp came along with 4O-35
while Mr.. key Parks was not very
far away with 43-3S.
J The last match of the day came
near to causing Key West to lOsa
among other things, the follow
ing: One lighthouse official, one
post office stamp seller, one gro
Gerry clerk and one county tax as
SCISSOR on account of those gentle
men would have liked nothing bet
/ ter than to have eaten each 9th
er for dinner. The match ended
one up for Ii Plummer and Pious
Willie Watkins-so they claim,
Mr.. Kirchheiner remarks. AS a
matter of fact the match ended
one up fonOtto and Russell Kerr,
so the tax assessor claims. The
match was on this wise: At the
end of seven holes the Watkins
Plummer team were six up but
by diligent putting and pairing
by Mr.. Kirchheiner the first round
ended one up for Bill and Ii. On
