A MISERABLE SHOW
THE CIVIL SERVICE proceeded to give 2 most lamentable display. They were unlucky, it is true, in a couple of lb., decision the ball that got Perry would have gone over the wicket as he was standing straight up hooking, and it got him in the tuinmy. Richardson's might have swung off the wicket, but at any rate he ought to have played the ball which was well up to him.

Miami Open tournament was about long drivos. Gene Sarazen opined that Sam Snead, who won the Miami compotition and thereby gained a quarter of the total prize money, was the longost driver, for consistent long distance, that golf has ever had.. The statement aroused considerable differences of opinion.
Snead; incidentally, edged out Harold McSpaden, who won the Manila Open title this year, by the narrow margin of two strokes-nine under par-the score being 271 to 273. McSpaden was the holder, and was strongly favoured to win again, and though he rallied on the last round, Snead came home with a six-under-par 64, tied the course record, and nosed home by two strokes.
