CRAWLS 3 MILES TO PAY BET

Penalty Paid by a California Banker in Settling Golf Wager. Oakland, Cal. —Crawling three miles on his hands and knees to the accompaniment of hysterical mirth from his wife and the boastful taunts of his golf opponent was the penalty that EL A. Mosher, vice president of the Central National bank, had to pay in settling a golf bet with William Cavalier, wellknown stock broker. “I bet I can beat you and do the whole 18 holes in 76 this morning,” was the challenge made at the Claremont links. Cavalier lost no time in taking up the wager. “I’ll take your bet, but I’m so sure that you can’t that if you lose ypu must crawl over the entire course on your hands and knees and buy a thousand-dollar Liberty bond." The terms were accepted. Mosher lost, crawled and bought the bond.
