QUEER GOLF WAGER
Victorian golfers are chuckling over a bet made by S. Dalrymple, former Royal Melbourne senior pennant player, and taken by I. Whitton, five times open champion of Australia. When Whitton, as No. 1 man for Royal Melbourne, had to meet R. Payne, leader of Victoria Club's senior seven, Dalrymple was frankly sceptical regarding Whitton's prospects of winning. "I'll give you a million to one against your chances," Dalrymple is alleged to have said. "I'll take you—in pennies," was Whitton's flippant rejoinder. Whitton •won the match. And now he takes every opportunity of reminding Dalrymple of the debt of £4166 13s 4d.
