Mr.. Bill Fripp, who also plays
golf as well as handles small
change, completely mastered his
opponents IN a couple of matches
It seems that the first round, Bill
and Old Bye Duke of Rock Sound
go together and easily beat
Charlie Howard and Samuel Har-
ris tour genial Postmaster), by
the score Of some 9 up. The Duke
was not entirely satisfied with the
results ION account of Mr.. Har-
ris had been mumbling to him
self and so the Duke said he
and the Postmaster would play
Bill and Charlie. Again Mr.
Fripp was on the winning side and
Dir. Swinky Swanky Jim noodle
de Flue Bobby Harrington and a
lot of other names Sam Harris
was on the losing side. Mr. Harris
admitted he was glad he had an
other date for tonight, because he
could not stand to see Bill eat 50
many free steaks. The Duke be
ieves that the greens were re-
movable yesterday becaEse every
time it looked ike he would make
par, somebody would jump up
and move the green.

be waiting down the street, so bring it
right to me, don't put 1t in your

Tom glared in wordless anger at
the departing back Of the dapper
little inspector as he proceeded down
the street without another word AS
if the job weren't bad enough without
these shenanigans!
Tom mounted the steps Of the
bungalow, rang three times and Steve
Brovek, clad in glaring bathrobe,
| jerked open the door.
WELL" he snapped. Tom thrust
the letter at him, not trusting him
self to speak. He watched impatiently
as Steve spelled out the name stupidity
through sleep-puffed eyes, He shook
it, squeezed the plant bulk within,
and held it up to the light In an effort
to see through it.
This amt for me-" he growled
savagely, slapping the letter back at
Tom. Whats the idea of waking
me up for letter that amt mine?"
Its this address, and it had postage
due" Tom answered hotly.
well, it amt my name and 1t
amt my letter" Steve slammed the
door viciously and Tom stalked of
the porch and down the street, clutch
ing the letter till his fingers ached.
Lemon was waiting at the end Of
the block. He placed the letter in
a larger envelope and returned it to
his pocket.
I'm leaving you here" he an
nounced. Guess there was nothing
to that Brovek complaint. I'll see you
again sometime"
EVEN a good dinner and the COM
pany Of Louise and the kids failed
to relieve him of his crouch that eve
ming. He decided he'd have to take
day or two of and stir up some
excitement before he lost his mind
Three days later Tom reported for
duty again. The superintendent called
him in as he passed the front Of
flee.
Hello, G-man," he greeted Tom
jubilantly. boy, you sure picked

Yeah, what happened?" Tom in
quired only mildly interested.
Don't you even read the papers?
The Omen were out here to pick
up Steve Brovek and he shot it out
