Herzog a Golf Fiend.

Charley Herzog, the manager of the Reds, has become, so badly afflicted with, golfitis that he has about decided to quit raising crops on his Maryland farm and will have the farm laid out as a golf course. “Never could see the sport in golf until I got a club in my hand one day,” says Herzog. “I used to (hink it was child’s play to knock that innocent looking ball a couple of miles. Well, just for exercise I swung at the ball with a club that belonged to a friend of mine. I missed. That made me vexed. I swung again—and I swung low. That time I nearly knocked the bottom out of the tee. What’s the use of going farther? Golf got me like it does nearly everybody else."
