ABE MITCHELL'S
SWEET PEAS.
May Set New Fashions for Golfers in Britain.
FLOWERS AS EMBLEMS.
Though Abe Mitchell has not yet woy one of the major cham- pionships, he is one of the most popular golfers in Britain. Even his critics will admit that.
Very soon, however, Mitchell is going to enjoy universal popular- ity such as no other player has achieved. His name will become as familiar as that of Lloyd George, and will be spoken by thousands who have never known, do not know, and will never know of the triumphs of Robert Tyre Jones, writes "T. R. G." in the Sports Dispatch.
The reason for Abe's forthcom- ing jump into the limelight le easily explained.
The Story.
Once upon a time (it sounds like a fairy tale) Abe Mitchell was private couch to Samuel Ryder, who is connected with a horticultural Arm in St. Albans. and in the 1931 catalogue issued, by the Arm there is listed a new variety of Aweet pea"Abe Mitchell."
Thus has Mr. Ryder honoured his tutor and friend.
