MILES AND MILES OF GOLF IN HANKOW
A
novel igalt competition in Hankow is reported by a friend from the upriver port. It ap pears that ft. Brown and J. Eng. lund took a challenge that they could not play 'seven rounds of eighteen holes of golf in one day. They started at Gam, and played two rounds before breakfast, and two more before tin. Tin oc- expled only half an hour, and the pair succeeded in completing the ncoded three rounds in the after- mpon.
1. It was unofficially estimated that they walked approximately thirty miles during the day. Baglund returned an average of 87 strokes for each round and Brown the neighbourhood of 93, the latter not going out of bounds once in excellent per- formance.
