Sandy keeps his eyes open sO non-paying golfers don’t use the course, kids don’t tear up the greens, picnics aren't thrown In the middle of the fairways. In short, Sandy is helping Mike Pollak get the most out of the course he possibly can for the paying sustauers. The pro isn’t being tough, he's being The guy who plunks his 65¢ or buys a season pass is entitled to the best golf he can get at any of the municipal courses, says Mike. At Coffin, Mike wants it to be the very best.
Bar Toting of Clubs
PATROL DUTY with Sandy consists of making the rounds. He isn’t ‘allowed to tote golf clubs. I think it would make the job more interesting if Mike let Sandy knock the ball around. The back nine holes always have attracted more free traffic. Sandy showed me the wide path leading from«Cold Spring Road. During the early evening hours, the traffic is heaviest. Sandy understands the situation well. A man comes home from work, has supper, cuts the grass and hankers to play a couple holes of golf. He doesn’t figure he's getting much of anything for nothing, A guy.s conscience needn't hurt too much. I knew exactly what Sandy was talking about. In my younger days, when six-bits for a golf game was hard to get, the ol’ No. 11 of Burnham Woods Golf Course used to be popular with my set. The depression made us .rationalize more easily, too. Often a lost ball brought the game to a close. Sandy didn’t have to dwell on the | subject of sneaking a few practice holes. | A big nuisance Sandy was ordered to stop was { riding down the slope of No. 10 tee on bicycles.

NEW YORK, July 14—Ran into a Hollywood
the other day, gal named Ruth Roman. She
still had some hair on her head, enough, anyhow, to identify her as a woman. She brandished no ‘cigaret holder.. She had short fingernails and
none of that garish harem make-up on her eyes. Miss Roman, who has a new picture called “Three Secrets” about to blossom, had been subjected to four interviews by New York writers. All four interviewers had more or less accused her of living in & modern sodom, and she was a little sore.
Not in Orgy Business
R S “BELIEVE ME,” says Miss Roman to me, “I am not in the orgy business. Who can have an orgy every night when she has to be up at5a. m.? I have made about nine pictures in the last year. » I get tired. Also, all the nice guys are married. But what is this business about Hollywood being a den of sin? I'vé been missing something.” Miss Roman jogs me all the way back to an ancient gag about Hollywood. Some genius once referred to the film city as “double Dubuque.” That is what it was and what it is, despite the occasional lunid headline and the violent pressgentry that depicts every screen star as a lush personality who dines off jotus and lives in a whirl of romantic wickedness. Now and again a Judy Garland tries to cut her throat or an Ava Gardner hits the headlines abroad or Bergman breeds a baby on location or Mitchum blows a reefer wreath. But my impres-. sion of Hollywood as a movie citadel is that the people work harder and put up with mere nonsense and are generally more tired than any people anywhere, It is practically impossible to sit up after midnight in Hollywood, because they fold the joints early and the people who go to the joints to be seen start to yawn about 10 and are straggling for the convertible by 11. I have met more tired people in Hollywood than any other place in the

Hoarding Stupid
WASHINGTON, July 14—The price of coffee is going up again. So are the costs of many other things. Automobiles are becoming hard to get. The proprietor of a freezer box factory says his business has boomed 100 per cent. in the last 30 days. A friend of mine is cogitating laying in a stock of razor blades, : Korea did it.
