teens. Is the latest convert to golf. Every
week like clockwork ho Is to Jie found
on tlio links tr)lng to negotiate the
elgbleen-hole course.
Ho sa)s he finds as much pleasure
swinging the old mashle as ho did boxing
rlrgs around his opponents In bis palm
iest ring da)s. i.rne was one of tho
most iclentlnc hotels that ever put on
a glove
Hrne has been pla) Ing the ancient
Scotch game a little less than six months.
In that time he has defeated but one
man -
"I thought golf was a joke until I
took It up seriously," declared Hrne.
"It's the finest game I ever tackled,
and I am sorry I didn't take It up
sooner. It gives the man the proper
exercise, and I believe It Is the best
' outdoor tonic for the tired business man.
Tennis Is n strenuous sport as com
pared with golf.
"I'm crazy about golf, so much so
that I'd play it every day If I could
get the time. A man may be playing
It for a lifetime, when all of n sudden
,i newcomer comes along and beats him.
How n champion ever holds lil title In
golf longer than a few weeks Is more
than I can understand."
