After the first round, 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.

Around the first tee of the rolling Keller Park golf course last week crowded 5,000 Twin City fans. Of all the country's top-ranking professionals driving off in the $7,500 St. Paul Open, the golfer they were most anxious to see was the fabulous Walter Hagen, now 45, who had just returned to U. S. tournament play after a two-year globe-trotting exhibition tour.
