United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.
Received Friday, 10 p.m. CHICAGO, Aug. 4.
Starting at 12.40 ami., J. Smith Perrebe, aged 31, a broker, will tomorrow attempt to play 144 holes, wagering half his Virginian plantation, worth 15,000 dollars, and 2600 dollars cash. Ferrebe will be accompanied by a doctor, a scorer and three caddies, who will be changed every 36 holes. He is confident of doing 144, but is worried whether he can * ‘ shoot ’ ’ every round under 95 as wagered. Ferrebe and another broker wanted to dissolve partnership in the plantation. They could not agree on terms and finally decided on the wager.
