MANY a poker playpr has been heard to say "My kingdom for an ace,’’ and he was in a class all of his own, but from here on in the remark may come from a golfer as well as a, card player. Right in our midst the Ace Club. Inc., has been organized at 342 Illinois building. The Ace Club is reported to rave rules and regulations with only ! an original assessment. an tt The original ante is one dolf- The re- ; turn me' h® urte nunc, rerj .loiters. Acj rorcling to the announcement that Harry | Schopn received any member of the club who shoots a hole in one between June 1 and De. 1 this year and can produce witnesses to prove that, it was made under rules and conditions of the club, will collect. All you have to do is apply for membership. enclose a dollar in the envelope and await the arival of your membership certificate stating you have been accepted. Then of course the point, will be to .lust I try and shoot a hole in one. a an That mat seem absurd, but last season j this department received several attested , cards showing players in this city and out over the state shot a hole in one. A I week ago last Monday while watching ' the pro-amateur meet we saw l Frank Bin- ' ford miss the cup by a half an inch at ■ Meridiap Hilts, for an ace.
COMPETITION always is keen in the weekly pro-amateur meets, and it is nothing unusual to have three, four or five pairs tided for places in the money. Monday was a mean day to play golf, the rain holding back play and causing the last ones to get vr late. a r a The jalUrr iistu llv gets out in watch the play-off and there was quite a. few oho got their feet wet watching settlement of the argument of who won third and fourth monev at Highland last Mondav. They were rewarded, as the boxs rut tooae with some classy shot making when it looked like several of them were due to iaunt to the locker rooms. nan Chuck Garringer and Bill Van Landingham of Highland, Roy Smith and Frank Shield and Freddy McDermott and Bob Bowen all were tied for third and fourth money in the pro-amateur Mondav. Frank Shields had to go home, so it was a one man team in Ro! Smith.

Smith, Bowen and McDermott. decided to play 15, It. is a long wood shot to the green and Bowen hooked into the trees. He was short of the green and McDermott. who had driven into a. trap, was over the green on his second. Roy Smith chipped to the cup and i was down in 3. There stood both the j other players, off the green, and I forced to hole out for a. halved hole. ; Both tried and missed by inches and the one-man team won. nan Speaking of holing out. from off *he green recalls the beautiful shot made bv Herman Uebele on 16.
