GOOD AT GAMES.
Novice at Golf Soon Holes Out in One. When Miss Myrtle Rule, formerly of Bayswater, was playing basketball and hockey in Auckland several years ago she gained representative honours in both games. After a New Zealand hockey tournament played at Gisborne, a critic there wrote that if a Dominion eleven were being selected Miss Rule must be the right full-back. Now Mrs. Albert Ripley, of Tauranga, the ex-Aucklander recently decided to try her hand at golf. She was informed by a professional that it would take years before she could play a reasonably good game, to which tht following pointed reply was made: "if I can't play a good enough game at the end of six months I will give it up."
There is no need, for her to carryout this threat, because, before the half year had expired, Mrs. Ripley negotiated the ninth hole with her tee shot.
