BOBBY LOCKE SUFFERING FROM CHILL

(United Press Association) GISBORNE, October 25. The visiting South African golfer, Bobby Locke, was this morning admitted to hospital with a slight temperature. His condition is not serious, but because of the cold weather it was considered wise to take precautions. Locke contracted a chill on the trip from Australia and instead of spending Sunday at Rotorua he came straight on to Gisborne and has been confined to bed ever since. His match with the Gisborne professional, A. E. Guy, scheduled for today has been postponed, but Locke hopes to be fit to play tomorrow afternoon. B. M.
