Latman Helps Chisox Regain One And Half Games Lead In AL
Chicago, Aug, 27.
ONE'S AND TWO'S
Having quoted last week the eclectic score of 41 by Jim Morris, the pro- fessional at Huntercombe, I ventured to ask whether anyone could improve on it.
Frankly I doubted it--but how little I knew. Why, 44, it seems, is positively commonplace. Even amateurs can beat it, though many, having taken
a lifetime to do so, add wryly "I can hardly hope to improve on it ΠΟΥ..

Apologising for his typing (which I thought was rather good for an amateur), Mr Horden adds a comment which I am sure will strike a chord with every polfer who has tried to play with the malady at present offlcting my cortexpondent,

One canbot help being struck by the number of really long shots that must be holed at golf which une never hears about, not simply because they were done at a short hole from a tee and are therefore not holes in one.
