BANDITS OX GOLF LINKS
ONE PLAYER SHOT
; NEW YORK, July 6. Five golfers who were enjoying a quiet round of play at the Ridgewood Country Club.in New Jersey were just preparing to drive from the eighth tee when three masked bandits armed-with pistols . appeared from some bushes along the fairway and held them up. The bandits instructed the five caddies to stand with their backs to them and then collected 200 dollars from four of the players. The fifth player attempted to save 75 dollars by throwing his wallet in some high.grass. This so angered the bandits that one shot him, inflicting a painful but not serious wound in the thigh. The bandits then ran across the course to a nearby road and escaped in an ■ automobile.
