tough little two-shotter up in the

Hey, Ed, how about marking your
ball?' said Phillipson. EdloWitz
obliged by marking his ball with

that dime, and both ball and dime
disappeared into the cup, the ball for
a birdie and the dime to wherever

The point Mr.. Mead raises in
connection with the penalty for low

not particularly relevant in this
case. I mean that Ambers won
three of the five rounds which were
taken away from Armstrong, any

fortably by my system of scoring,
which of course has yet to be hal
lowed by official recognition from

tions. They probably will attend
to this detail at their next meet

But suppose the fight had been
closer. Henry did not hurt Ambers
with the low punches he landed
yet he lost five rounds on penal
ties, and five rounds can turn an
