Youngsters Parade Varied As
sortment of Creatures They
Cherish; Gymkhana Events
Thrilling.
With a regular Noah’s Ark
collection of animals, spectators
at yesterday’s annual gymkhana
and pet show were treated to
plenty of laughs and quite a bit
of excitement.
Leading the field for oddity
was Miss Jane McCluer’s snail,
which crawled off with fourth
place in the pet class. Voted j
champion of the field was a toy
fox terrier owned by Mrs. Dor
othy McGranahan.
Other pets exhibited included
a large and varied collection of
canines, a goat, a guinea hen,
and Joe Horton’s ox. A bit of
difficulty was experienced in
getting Joe’s ox cart through
the narrow gate, but- with the
help of some willing assistants
the cart was safely lifted over
the fence, while the ox looked
bored with the whole proceed
ings.
Miss Maxine Maness won sec
ond place with her tame guinea
hen, Mrs. Quinto Bello's Irish
terriers took third place, and
June Bug Tate and his goat
came out fjfth. Joe’s ox was
awarded a special blue ribbon.
The pet parade was the sec
ond event on the program which
started off with a- hard riding
game of musical stalls in /vhich
Miss Tatsy Southgate came out
victorious. Miss Sarah Bakej'
and Miss Kitty Morgan won
second and third places respect
ively, to shut out the mascu
line competitors completely.

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
* by ROBERT E. HARLOW
In the old days when Westbrook Pegler covered big time shorts
events he would stroll up and down the line in the press boxes
peeking over the shoulders of the ace writers from all parts of
the country, reading their opening paragraphs, or what is known
in the business as the “lead.” * •
Having digested the brilliant thoughts of his comtemporaries,
Peg would go to his own typewriter and compose a sort of com
posite lead, featuring the wisest and wittiest writings of his fel
lows. Not that Peg ever needed any help, but the idea had merit.
Thursday evening, as a*number of ace golf writers were ham
mering away at their typewriters, telling their readers about the vic
tory of Ben Hogan in the North and South, this correspondent
strolled down the line and read the “leads” which were being
made ready for the telegraph wires. . ,
