place the pros
-,,,-E ',,s, - were given 9
~n "A handicap, j. e.
they sent chip shots to five
S0-inch iron rings laid on the
ground at intervals between 20
and 40 feet away, whereas the
casters had to land their plugs
in 20-inch water-filled tubs laid
out at intervals between 40 and
80 feet. The pros had only to
pitch and roll to hit the iron
rings, but the casters had to
land inside ker-plunk.
BulPs-eye for Diffenbaugh
Result was a five-point VIC
tory for the pros, in spite of the
fact that the Casters high in
dividual scorer, j. REYNOLDS,
landed plop inside the tubs seven
out Of 10 times. Other mem
bers of the Casters team were
GEORGE COOK, DIR. WILL
LIAM HOLTON, C. w. MARNS-
LEY, j. REED and CHUCK
JOHNSON.
Then, flushed with victory, the
pros decided to switch nipple
mentS with the Casters. The
lineup included WIFFY COX of
Congressional, GEORGE DIFF
FENBAUGH Of Kenwood, LEO
WALPER, GENE LARKIN of
Woodmont, CLIFF SPENCER of
Beaver Dam and MEL SE3OREY
Of East Potomac.
LARKIN, ENCER and
SHOREY spent their time un-
snarling their reels from tangle
of back-laShes, while COX and
WALPER showed a slight knowl-
edge Of the fundamentals. Only
pro to send the plug into q
tub and score bulpseye was
little GEORGE DIFFENBAUGH,
who was more surprised than
the spectators. The Casters all
but whitewashed the pros at
their own game.
