The kind that Cecil De Mille would like to have in one if his super-specials. * * * The course itself is a darb. Tricky —but not too tricky. And a scenic mmorama that takes the mind of a susceptible golfer entirely off his 'jame. But being Film Men, they're not susceptible. So ivotth'cll. Even the duffers were turning in good scores.

On the 15th hole, he took the concrete step over the water hazard, and fell in up to his neck. He thought it was just an ordinary hazard. But they do things in a Big Way up at Fenimore Country Club. Ted Curtis came all the way from Rochester as anchor man for the Empey team. And some guy sez"Now the Empeys are all sunk!" Is that a prophecy? Or just a wise crack? Mitch May. Jr., was resplendent in a Shamrock green sweater. But that's about all lie showed for the day. Joe Hornstein acted as official stock tickie for the Gang, < out stock quotations from memory i hour.
