...however, the greater part of the gallery of 300 trudged around after lanky, woolly-topped Howard Wheeler of Atlanta-watched him tee up on the edge of a match folder, shuffle along the fairways in a Stepin Fetchit gait, plop down on the greens while waiting his turn to putt. A onetime professional whose occupation has been "just walkin' round" since he lost his job at Atlanta's Lincoln (Negro) Country Club in 1933. 29-year-old Howard Wheeler proved last week that he could still teach folks a few golfing tricks. With a minimum of effort...
...time's nick, as the last ray of daylight began to fade, Golfer Ferebee limped up to the final green, sank his putt for a 5 and a last-round 89. He had taken 687 strokes (90, 82, 82, 82, 87, 87, 88, 89) for the 144 holes, had covered each of Olympia's four courses twice (a tee-to-green distance of 29 miles) in 13 hr. 32 min.

Baldish, 33-year-old Harry Cooper has a past-performance chart that dates back to 1927. That was the year he lost the U. S. Open championship to one-eyed Tommy Armour by the slim margin of a 15-ft. putt. For the past five years he has maintained a scoring average that no U. S. pro could equal: he has never finished lower than fourth in annual scoring. Last year his form sheet* revealed that his 1937 average-in 82 rounds of competition-was 71.62 strokes per round (better than even fours, which is considered perfect golf), that...
