London, Aug. 14. Bobby Locke is saying good- bye. He's off to South Africa again next Thursday. When he departs, ho will take with him the assurance that his re- putation over here has risen considerably, both as a golfer and as a sportsman. In the past three months he has ac- complished much.

What is more important, his success has been achieved with a quiet courage which we have ad- mired. He has made the ap- pended public statement:
