IN SEARCH OF A TYRANT

WEALTHY GOLFER’S ftIfEST Mr Hugh S. Jenkins, of San Diego, California, has travelled more than 7,000 miles with the sole object of. finding the caddie who went round a Manchester golf course with him twelve months ago. - . Mr Jenkins was for fifteen years as-: sedated with Mr Henry Ford at Detroit, and was for four years managing director of the Ford Motor Company in England. He is credited with! being a genius among motor salesmen,; He is also a golfer. Golf has its moments "of sadness,* when the outlook is a murky grey, and for months Mr Jenkins, the golfer, has been facing just such an outlook. Ha was toymg with a niblick in his bedroom; at’ the'Park Lane Hotel when an interviewer saw, him a few weeks ago; Tbs scarlet- and gold dressing gown he was wearing failed to dispel the impression that he was a stricken man, a man who foozles his drives and muffs his putts. “My game has gone all to pot,”Mr Jenkins confessed emotionally, “and I have cfnne to England to find the only man who can put me wise.I forget his name, but I am hoping that he is still running around at the Timperly course, near Manchester, and if ho is—well, I guess he’ll fix things, all right.” _ Mr Jenkins gazed wistfully into the middle distance, and conjured up a vision of the Lancashire caddie, the only man who can bring back joy to his life. “He was a great, tall, lean fellow, who didn’t say much, but he made you sit up when he did speak.. Ha was a rare tyrant, to me, and bullied me when I didn’t handle my clubs to his liking. Gee! I hope I can find him again! If I don’t this trip will be wasted ” American golf courses, : American professional' players and coaches, American golf equipment, and American caddies were stoutly defended by Mr Jenkins. He added:. “It just happens that the man I am looking for is the only man who can put mo wise,” v .
