African Golf His Hoodoo.

"’African golf’ proved my undoing,” said Private Clarence E. Bruce; Pittsburgh. just back from the war. "I was a sergeant once and in charge of a heavy gun. I was the boss. But I couldn't hold that job when the boys began ‘African golf right under my nose. When the bones started to roll I began to slip. Well, it was buck private again for me when the officers found me down on my knees shooting sevens and elevens. "But. say maybe those guns of ours didn't do some execution. We cleaned up one town so clean that there wasn’t anything alive or whole when tl;e infantry went in. No, sir, not even a dead chicken for our boys.”
