The Fatal 18th

Most pros bring their owr
caddieS to an important tourna-
ment and this was the Metro
politan Open or something
equally big. Cruickshank had
e not brought his boy, and I was
selected.
Everything went fine up un-
til the eighteenth green. Wee
Bobby was cracking the course
record and needed a par five
on the last hole to clip the
mark by stroke. His drive
shaved some trees and landed
in the rough. He had an i'm
possible lie and could only chip
out to the fairway. His third
shot was a 2 iron and it hit
the brow of the green and fell
into a trap.
Bobby blasted out and his
ball rolled about 10 feet past
, the pin. I walked over to the
cup and stood by the flag as
Cruickshank sighted his putt.
Just as he was about to hit it,
I let my hand close gently
about the pole so as not to dis
turb Bobby.
There was something under
my hand and before I knew
what happened I felt a sharp
sting. It was a bee! Naturally,
I jerked the flag and it was at
that moment Cruickshank fired
his putt. My sudden action was
just enough to throw him off
line and he missed the putt
and the course record.
The Cardinal Sin
I remember feeling badly be-
cause the spectators were tSk-
tsking about what a lousy cad
die I was. That was a cardinal
Sin-to let down your man.
My whole heart and soul were
in that putt as much as Cruick-
Shank's and I remember stand
ing there in a sort of dead
silence as the bee kept boring
into my hand. I crushed it
against the pole and it dropped
into the cup.
Bobby didn't say anything.
He tapped the ball, left-handed,
into the cup then walked off
to the clubhouse. I remember
almost starting to bawl and fol-
lowed Cruickshank. When I
caught up to him he looked at
me Solemnly then turned on
that famous, impish grin.
Let me look at your hand"
he said.
I showed him. and it was
swollen and discolored.
Come" he said, well go into
the clubhouse and fix it right
away"
He saw my long face and
started to laugh.
Don't mind now, lad, ye
couldn't help it."
OtQ on account
So the caddie grew UP and
became a neWspaperman. His
shame was obscured by the years
and he went on to bigger hurts
and disappointments, but none
ever condoned his faults like
the little Scotchman.
We met again. With us was
Ben Wahrman, a newSpaperman
from Richmond. The talk swung
to golf, and I told Bobby I
hadn't played in eight years.
"As bad as you are" he
smiled, you'll do better than
Ben" The latter good-naturedly
disputed this. and Cruickshank
bet him so dinners to five that
I would win. The match was
held a couple of weeks ago at
the Cavalier Beach Club, Vir-
ginia Beach.
For some silly reason I thought
Of the time ! had caddied for
CruickShank and l determined
{ not to let him down. OF course,
the bet was merely a friendly
one and didn't mean anything,
but it seemed important TO me.
Ben and I played. 1 had bis
ters on my palms and the skin
was ripped clean off the big fin.
ger of my left hand. But won
5 and 4, and maybe I'm too sen,
timental, but I figured l paid a
debt. Not that he needs it, but
Bobby will at least be eating
regularly for a week. At that

Another
Round
BY BOB ADDIE

Wee Robert CruickShank paid
me a visit recently and we got
talking about the "old days"
The Washington times., 1938-07-25

Wee Bobby was at the Siwanoy
Country Club. Mount Vernon,
N. Y, about l3 years ago.
CruickShank, even then wasn't
so long removed from his native
braes of Gran W no MS p e y,
Scotland, and he as playing in
a fourson.e with Tom KerrlSan,
home pro; Gene Sarazen and
Long Jim Barnes.
l was a cadd and was given
Bobby's bag.
Mon" he said, "ye ma mooch
bigger than m'bog."
Over in Scotland, you see,
carrying a golf bag isn't a
juvenile occupation. A Scotch
caddie does more than carr a
bag. He knows his course with
the knowledge of an Infect.
He ca sense the slightest
change in the wind and how it
will affect a ball in flight. He
tells his man" what clubs to
use. He gauges his employers
sire ,th and weakness and he
scol1s and cajoleS, getting the
utmost value from his golfer.

DRUMS OF HAITIANS
TO GO ON DISPLAY
Ceremonial instruments Were
Brought Back by Marines
Several Years Ago.

A complete set Of Haitian ceremonial
drums. rare item from the collector 6
viewpoint. will probably get more than
ordinary attention Friday night when
they are exhibited at a party to be
staged by Company D. Marine Reserve,
at the Knights of Columbus Hall
The drums were brought back sew
eral years ago by a detachment OF
marines which had been stationed
in Haiti. Samuel Winfield, now a
business broker. who was one OF the
marines, said the drums or "tambours"
were "conflscated" at ceremony near
Port au Prince.
From his personal observations. Mr.
Winfield doubts that a white man has
ever seen a real voodoo ceremony. The
rites at which the drums PLAYED a
silent part were form OF superstitious
ceremony.
It was held in large native hut. the
shelves of which were laden with food
and drink-offerings to the spirits" In
anticipation Of a bumper crop at har-
vest time.
A brief history. explaining how the
drums were captured and describing
the ceremonies in which they are
used, will be available when the drums
are exhibited.
The public is invited.

said the corporation chairman deeply
regretted the sending out OF the let
tiers and could not understand why
they had been mailed, other than out
Of friendship and In appreciation Of
the loyalty of the men who mad left

Although Mr.. Russells resignation
was worded to take effect Immediately.
he was expected to take some time to
straighten the affairs Of his ofice.
Fellow officials described him today as
the most valuable man in the Or
ganization outside Of members Of the
board"
In his letter concerning Judge Tay-
lor Mr. Russell noted that he had
written similar recommendation for
W. T. Stockton. who left the posi-
ton of associate general counsel in
1895.
Chairman Fahey. in announcing
Mr. Russell's resignation. made pub
lie a statement which the latter made
to the Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
his superiors
"On account of the decline in legal
work since all loans have been closed
and the foreclosure operation is largely
completed, about two-thirds Of the
lawyers employed by the corporation
have resigned or have been separated"
Mr.. Russell said.
1T has been my uniform purpose to
be of assistance to the members of the
legal staff withdra wing from our serv-
ice. These two letters are the only
ones Of this type which have sent out.
This letter was written in the spirit
Of that purpose"
Mr.. Russell said he had no interest
in Judge Taylor's undertakings "ex-
cept as q friend and . former asso-
ciate."
HO.L. G. officials said the letted had
been sent only to several hundred law
yers employed by the H. o. L. c. Mr..
Russell asserted the postscript was
added by a clerk without his knowl-
edge.
Judge Taylor later issued a formal
statement praising Mr. Russell's record
Of public service, and declaring 1t was
most unfortunate for the both of us"
that Mr. Russell should suffer through
an innocent mistake in saying = kind
word for one who had worked with
him for . number Of years"
Judge Taylor described the Russell
letters as a notification to members
Of the legal department Of H. O.
l. G. and attorneys serving the cor
poration" of his resignation as as

that the letter advised attorneys as
to the future functioning" of the

PROBE OF C. c. C,
PURCHASES ASKED
Shafer, Republican, Seeks Data
on Buying Of Supplies
From Foreign Countries.

A resolution requesting information
on whether supplies have been pur-
chased from foreign countries for use
in Civilian Conservation Corps camps
was introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative Shafer, Republican, of Mich
igan.
The resolution calls on the Depart
ments Of Agriculture, Labor, Interior
and War for information as to whether
any purchases have been made and, If
50, to what extent.
Representative Shafer explained
that he introduced the measure after
receiving resolution adopted by the
convention Of the Chicago Live Stock
Exchange charging the Federal Gov
ernment recently had purchased
abroad, particularly in South America,
considerable quantities of canned
meats for c. c. c. camps and other
agencies.
Denouncing foreign purchases Of
this nature, Mr.. Shafer declared such
action would be highly injurious to
the producers, farmers, feeders and
shippers of live stock throughout the
United States. He pointed out that If
there is a dire shortage of meat prod
ucts in this country. any limitations
under the Crop Control Act should be
abolished.
II the charges of the live stock ex-
change are unfounded, the Michigan
representative said, the fact should
be established. However, he said, the
practice OF purchasing supplies from
foreign countries might prove to be
more widespread than is now realized.
