Pro Golfer Makes Habit
Of Hole-in-One Shooting
By OSCAR FRALEY
(United Press Sports Writer)
New York, Feb. 18 U.R)Pro
coif's most notable feature so
far on tbe winter tour, In ad
dition to wallowing in sunshine
and splitting up the swag, ap
peared today to be Art Wall's:
23th hole in one.
To most of us who have
trouble getting a bogey four on
a par three hole, even a short
par three, the Pennsylvania pro
fessional's record seems phenom
enal It's hard enough to hit the
ball, let alone his it straight
into tbe cup, and the odds
against same are 10,000 to one.
Yet it is amazing how many
their tee shot, actually every
-, 1,500 every year in the United
States and Canada. The long
est on record was by a Caro
lina clouter named Cardwell
who smashed a 425-yard hole
In one at Winston-Salem. Mar
ie Robie of Wollaston, Mass.,
is the runner-up with a 393
yard shot into the cup last
September.
There are numerous instances
where players have holed in one
twice in the same round but
Bob Halverty, at Long Beach,
Calif., posted some sort of a
record in 1945 when he aced
bih the 308-yard 15th and the
130-yard 16th.
P. H. Morton, an English Bow
ler of note, had the perfect
comeback when he aced the first
hole on the first of two rounds.
' "It'll be many a day before
you do that again," called a
friend as Morton started his
second round.
Morton swung, watched the
ball trickle into the cup and
then replied:
"I Just did it again."

once made three aces in two
weeks at Chapel Hill, N. C.
The custom, when a golfer
reaches those Olympian heights,
for him to buy all around
when he reaches the 19th hole.
So by paying a $2.50 premium,
Lloyds will guarantee a $50
cushion for the bar bill. Of
course you could do it like
chap appropriately named Dun
can C. MacCuntock. He fired his
one-shot on election day when
the bars were closed.
Then there are the avid golf
ers who make rash promises and
live to regret them. For instance,
Fred Jones announced last June
that he was seriously consider-
ind running for Governor ot Ok
lahoma. Playing a round shortly
afterwards at the Oklahoma City
Golf and Country club, Jones
stepped up to the tee and
178-yard hole and asserted:
I'd rather make a hole-in
one than be elected governor.'
He did. And he wasn't.
Downhill Races
Climax World Ski
Championships
Aspen, Colo., Feb. 18 W! The
men's downhill race. In which
daredevil ski riders abandon
caution and strain for maximum
speed, will bring a spectacular
climax to the 1950 world ski
championships today
Sixty-one contestants from 13
nations are scheduled to make
the perilous 2.1-mile run down
the icy north face of Aspen
mountain. They must steer
true course through 10 control
gates while descending 2400 feet
closer to sea level.
Friedl Pfeifer, the course set
ter, estimated the "average1
time for the racers would be two
minutes, 30 seconds. This means
the winner must approach
speed of 60 miles an hour for
the entire distance, and ' travel
much faster than that at times.
Downhill racers have been
clocked officially at speeds
high as 84.8 miles an hour In
short bursts.
The event Is a test of nerve-
and-luck as well as skill. The
competitor with an absolute
disregard for his personal safe
ty, who is willing to let his skis
travel as fast as they will down
dangerous declines, over wash
board slopes and around sharp
turns, is always the winner.
