Just lately I've talked with two
or three high schoolers about
taking up golf, and everyone o.

the idea. But definitely, there

who'd like to give it a try if
someone would give them some

It wouldn't take too much
cash. Say, for instance, some Civ

fact) could furnish just one set

This marks Thompson's second
trip to the majors. Two years ago
he played with the st. L,ouis
Browns in the American league
along with Willard Brown. now
with the Kansas City Monarchs of
the Negro American league.
The Browns, purchasing the two
colored players merely for pub.

them to their Negro league after
about 80 days. Both men, how.
