for that ball. He said that little orb
of hardened rubber had done all it
was required to do and he was going
it rest for the rest of it's days. Like
the Esprit of st. Louis" of Lind
bergh fame he was going to hang it
where it could be seen forever and
day.
Has he told anybody about that
shot? Nobody but everybody. He
dreams about it, talks about it, and
says he's going to repeat it. He's
simply crazy about it.
Once upon a time two well-known
statesmen were marooned by a blizzard
over on Tangier Island. They had
terrific experience getting off. A
would-be poet scratched off a social
ed poem about it. The last verse was
as follows:
"Should life by magic not then fail,
Till four-score years and ten;
Those drummer boys will tell the
tale,
To grandsons grown to men,"
Needless to say that stanza, with
few changes, could be made to fit the
miracle of the links" as performed by
one who thinks he's some golfer when
he Ohalks up $50 for the eighteen
holes. But, I imagine hereafter, when
ever he approaches a green, he'll think
of that other shot; and, if he makes
another one, you'll see him leaving
town bound for some English or Scot
ish course, raving maniac with golf
balls in the top of his head instead
of cerebral globules. And he'll never
return to normally until, some day
while on course, he disregards the
warning of Fore! and he stops the
ball with his cranium-the shock will
tell him where he's at. Just now, he's
in a very serious condition; and it is
with the hope that those who approach
