Brulator Eastman Blackburn and Wesley Dupont-Pathe de Nemours Smith. For the benefit of our readers who do not know these gentlemen it must be revealed that they are respectively Hollywood distributors of Eastman and Dupont raw motion picture film and they are mighty important men in the industry, their firm names being J. E. Brulatour, Inc., and Smith & Aller. The challenging was done by Blackburn who threw down the gauntlet to Smith and also to King Charney, genial local distributor of Agfa raw stock, but King was ill and the big war was fought between Blackburn and Smith. The stakes were the price of a big barbecue feed to the hordes of hungry cameramen after the tournament, which racket, as everyone knows was pulled off on the links of Westwood Country Club. (In the absence of our sport editor the report of the Blackburn-Smith ruckus was written by Kameravitch Tripodoff sky, our Russian technical correspondent, whose English is all right, but who has some difficulty keeping his golf separate from other American sports. — Editor's Note.) Let Mr. Tripodotfsky tell it: They (meaning Blackburn and Smith) went to bat at S o'clock with President Alvin Wyckoff, of the Local 659, as referee to keep the peace, keep score, render first aid and caddy. Blackburn knocked the first ball pitched into the left field bleachers for a three base hit, but Wyckoff ruled that it was a foul and Smith won the first hole four up and (17) to play. It looked like Wyckoff was getting even for something, but the incident passed and it was a love set at the third hole with Blackburn laying down a stymie that Smith tried to get over with his lofter, but could do no better than to catapult a divot into the referee's eye which seemed to please Blackburn immensely. In the fourth chukker Smith caught an in shoot on the end of his mid-iron and the ball was downed on the 4-0-yard line. Referee Wyckoff penalized Smith three strokes for being off side and the game proceeded with Wyckoff warning the contestants against hitting in the clinches. In the sixth inning the score was Blackburn 32 — Smith 31 and 5/8, a tough game, but in the back-stretch they were both running easily and Referee Wyckoff felt that he could safely take a nap during the forty-five minutes they were holing in on the 11th green. Smith kicked goal and the score was bogey 8 in Smith's favor as they took the field for the seventh inning. With a count of three balls and two strikes on him Blackburn put over a fast one which struck the crown-block of Oil Derrick No. 3, ricochetted to the new high school, bounced back to the tee, hit Glen Kershner on the left occipital and fell plunk in the cup for a hole in one. It was a regular humdinger of a shotski and Blackburn was entitled to a home — The International Projector — A GREATER DAY IS DAWNING FOR MOTION PICTURES AND EVERY PROGRESSIVE STEP IN PRACTICAL PROJECTION HAS BEEN ACHIEVED THRU THE ENGINEERING SKILL AND MANUFACTURING RESOURCES THAT WON WORLD WIDE RECOGNITION OF TRADE MARK REG'D.
