By CHARLES ALICOATE EDDIE McEVOY, RKO's golfing pride jnd joy, scored two birdies during the first nine holes of play in the morning. Can that lad sock 'em? * * * Try this one the next time you're out. F. N. Phelps skimmed one over the water hazard when he drove off on the tenth hole in the early round. * # # Victor Ridder arrived boasting about that hole-in-one that he is so chesty about. He even had Julius Cohen, his severest critic, telling the gents. All eyes were on Ridder, but did he repeat? Don't ask us. * * * Bets were being made that the gleaming airplane hovering overhead during lunch was the possession of Arthur Loew and that Arthur himself was at the controls.

George Brown hit a dandy that looked like the McCoy, but another ball was in the way and Brown's detoured. * * * Bert Alayers showed up for lunch. Then he changed to golf togs and spent the afternoon sleeping under a tree. Bert brought along a doctor friend, in case he over-exerted himself swinging an imaginary golf club. * * * Harry Charnas was in a wise-cracking mood. All the jests thrown at him were returned with amplifications. And can Harry take it — and dish it. * * ♦ Jules Levy was tardy in getting started but when Jules gets going, he's THERE.
