an agent of the society found the
animals in a stable on Shows

according to william Ganzil Reid,

scheme fell through when it was

Mr.. Reid, Empt said, claimed

Empt told Seal that "Sam," the
mystery man, left SO with Reid

the society has paid a boy to care
for the goats, has bought them
food, took them to a farm in

In the second place he is the

In the third place he has become

of whom more later: Henry had
Ralph up at Hershey few days
ago. What Ralph learned will come
out next year when the youngster
starts to do his stuff in the tourna-
ments. In the fourth and an i'm
portant place he is the same modest
youngster with the same big grin
he was year or more ago when he
wasn't breaking 80 with any regu-
larity, and didn't know all the time
where those shots we're going.
And in the most important place
OF all he does his best work under
fire. You only have to look at the
record of the last national amateur
championship to know that. Play
ing in his first major tournament
Ralph pounded out scores of IS and
IA at Congressional for a total of
149 to win third place in the Sec
tional tests. He didn't qualify at
Pittsburgh, but any kid who does
that in his first attempt at the big
show has done the very unusual.
But he came close, and he will
qualify next time. Nor will he be easy
to lick when he does get into the
match-play rounds.
Danny and I are satisfied with
the way Ralph is playing" said
Allan Burton. II don't believe in
showing a boy along too fast. He
will go fast enough by himself. If
he shows the will to work on those
shots and really loves the game
there isn't any way to keep him from
going places. He can 60 as far as
he wants, and Ralph wants to go
far. Look at him out there, hitting
those iron shots. See how he stays
down to that ball. And watch him
next year."
Picard Likes Course.
Getting back to Henry Picard, the
erstwhile Chocolate Soldier" played
the Army Navy course a few days
back. Now it is perfectly natural
that folks proud of their golf course
should ask a top-ranking pro what
he thinks of it. And they asked
Henry out there at Army Navy. IF
I could play this course half dozen
times before the open champion
ship" said Henry, 81 wouldn't be
afraid of any golf course. It takes
everything any one has-distance
and accuracy. It's a little new now,
but in a year or two it will be one
of the best"
Such is the course where Ralph
Bogart is learning to play golf.
Maybe we are giving the kid too
much build-up, having tn mind
some youngsters who leaned back
on their press clippings to win golf
matches for them, and found it
didn't work. But we don't think
Ralph is that kind of boy. He is too
level headed and has too much golf
in him. And anyhow golf affairs
aren't won in newspaper columns.
