HOLING OUT IN ONE
COMEDY ON FRENCH LINKS Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. (Received August 14, 5.5 p.m.) PARIS, August 13. The frequency with which the sixth holef at[ St. Jeau-de-Lux links has been done lately in one stroke, resulting in the purchase of expensive rounds of drinks and the constant swelling of the ranks of “The Hole-in-One Club,” led to an inquiry. It has now been revealed that a caddie's nimble wit was responsible. It is a “blind” hole, over a small hill, and the caddie's confederates used to hide in the trees around the green, and when a good tee shot landed on the green they rushed out and put the ball in the hole and scrambled back into the bush like rabbits, subsequently sharing with the caddie the extravagant tips that players usually dispensed on such occasions. The trick, however, was played once too in consequence a warning is now placed in the clubhouse.
