...shows that on Nov. 11, 1921 playing with Dewitt Clinton Jones, Charles Wreaks and Randolph Harrison on the Suburban Club links in Elizabeth, N. J. I made a hole in one. It was my 23,990th hole in match play. Does anyone else know how many holes they had played before having this stroke of luck? That is what it is! Out of the millions of players very few expert amateurs or professionals have had it, proving that skill in the game has nothing to do with it. It also shows I have played 52 courses...

Architects Delano & Aldrich built it for him 22 years ago-a towering, turreted, 100-room French chateau surrounded with gardens, stables, farm buildings, 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, landing field and woodlands on 441 rolling acres.

Two mornings a week he tramps, in good weather and bad, the three-quarter mile from his red-roofed stucco house to his book-lined workshop in Guyot Hall. He also lectures regularly to graduate students. And, four mornings a week, he hops the 7:45 train to Philadelphia and goes to the headquarters of the American Philosophical Society...
...knows for sure, but most could hazard a sound guess: the furrow is to be preserved for posterity to look at; it will be included in the intriguing mass of Ford memorabilia which includes Luther Burbank's shovel (thrust into a block of concrete), a reproduction of the hole in the ground in Menlo Park, N. J., where Thomas A. Edison and his helpers threw their laboratory junk...
