Joe Hunter may not play golf this summer. Last Thursday was his first lay out this year with the rod and line »nd he succeeded in catching about the imit of croppies. Hugh O’Donnell and Erwin Cronin vere the first kid fishermen to register -his season, each bringing back several :roppies and bullheads from Mud jridge last Saturday. The two Jims, Davis and Davidson, vent down the river to the bayous sear Stafford last Sunday and made i pretty good catch of bass, croppies »nd catfish. They are contemplating a ;rip to Fish lake before long. A party of Ewing fishermen who /isited Cottonwood lake several weeks ago report that a number of dead aass, carp and pickerel, some quite large, were found along the lake shore, evidently smothered during the ;old weather, but say that not all the Ssh in the lake were winter-killed.

Patsy Harty almost made a hole in one the other day, but unfortunately there was a stick in the way. _ Jim Donohoe, Doc. Kubitschek and Ed O’Donnell to the contrary notwith standing, Mickey Brady never did stand that way. He couldn’t. A match between the right and left handed players is being talked of for the not far distant future to de cide once and for all which are the most proficient. Paddy O’Donnell made the ninth hole in three Tuesday afternoon, to the financial depression of several who happened to be present. The play was the first to be made since the pro mulgation of the now rule that any golfer making the ninth in three is privileged to collect two bits from each of the innocent bystanders. There is serious talk of suspending Jimmy Gallagher from the club if he I doesn’t cease being so accommodat ing. Ben Grady made his record drive A the season the other day and Jim my, who happened to be passing along through the trees where the darned thing landed picked it up and return ed the ball to the owner, thinking.it was a lost one. And it might have eeen at that. For the benefit of the golf widows, it is stated that a telephone has been installed at the course. The number is Chestnut 181 and John Bernard O’Sullivan will be glad to call the missing husband to the phone at any time. An arrangement also has been made with the Hanford company to blow the whistle at 6 o’clock each evening as a notice to the players that mpper is about ready. There was a considerable discussion ■ etween a bunch of the golfiacs down it Harty brothers emporium Wednes- . lay morning luring the rain as to j vhether one was entitled to message j he greens before putting. Aster ( tyan insisted that it wasn’t according ;o Hoyle and some of the bunch de- , ■lared that Hoyle never played golf ; inyway. The question is still unde- ‘ rided, but they are doing it anyhow. ] CLEAN UP NOTICE.
