"THOUGH GOLFERS were few and iar between last week, lots of of particular note and happened on the local course. First of all comes Tom Knapp's 36 scored Sunday afternoon. Ford Brown, who Is also "hot" just was playing with Knapp antj -rrxed as the inspiration for his nlf- round. Tom got off to a good with a pair of birdie 3s. A --I'lisational second shot following A Ions drive on No.

2 left him only short putt for a 3. The rest of the round with the exception of one hole found Tom right on the trail of Old Man Par. Tom got into trouble on his sec- round and had to take a "terrible" 40. "Terrible" is the way he described the round. If we ever make a 40 we'll call it a miracle, a perfect day or something like that.

But Knapp's 76 Sunday was only 2 strokes hotter than the 78 he scored the middle of the week to rout Duke George. The tournament committee chairman's 76 was enough better than Duke's 88 to give him a 7-up victory. Duke is being repaid with interest for the trimmings he handed the fourth, fifth and sixth-place boys a couple of weeks ago. After Knapp' had trounced him 7-up last Arthur Penney shot a swell 77 at George Tuesday to drop Duke from fourth position. Now Ford shooting under 40 and "hot as firecracker," waits eagerly to give Buke another shove down the ladder.

Cliff McKee ami Turn Brandes finally got off their long'awaited contest Sunday morning with Cliff nosing through to a 2-hoIe victory. Then Roy Lynn became generous Saturday afternoon and gave yours truly a 20-hole match by very obligingly missing a foot-put on the second extra hole. Roy played all and more golf than we wanted. He obtained some degree Consolation Sunday, however, by rep. Istng Justice Grover Hardman's threat 2-up.

The fine condition of the course, made finer by the improved greens since the arrival of the new green mower, is being reflected in the scores turned in daily. There have been numerous scores below 40 for 9 holes and several better than 80 ior 18. Ford Brown, Arthur Penney, Tom Knapp. Charlie Taylor and Windy Arnold have all traveled the course in less than 40 lately. With these five players and the next two or three just below them shooting the brand of golf they are now, some warm matches are due to come off shortly.

It would be little surprising to see several radical changes in the uppermost positions on the ladder. The way Penney, Knapp and Brown are going they will be to take. There have also been many scores at even 40 and just over. Among the low 40 shooters have been Biil Bailey, Cliff McKee, Tom Brandes, E. H.

McFarland. Duke George, H. S. Burns and Toe Hoefle. Checking up on scores of ladder tournament entrees reveals the list o' players can be just about evenly divided into four groups or divisions, as far as regular scores are concerned.

The 28 entrees stack up about as follows: Those shooting 40 or under Windy Arnold, Charlie Taylor, Tom Knapp, Arthur Penney, Ford Brown. 40 to H. McFarland, H. 8. AB PO A Thweatt, 3b Wright, J.

Ten of the players shoot within these figures. Lloyd Pessarra has joined the lo- ear.club. Lloyd recently returned to FtMport from Waco where he played golf regularly while attending Baylor University. He has not been o'ut often lately, but likely will get in more rounds now that he has joined the club. Lloyd shoots in the middle forties or better.

He also likely will enter the ladder Lee Arring'on is another whose membership was passed upon at the meeting of club directors and officials at a meeting last week. Golf has not entirely recovered from the break in interest caused by the boat races staged here several weeks ago, but the game should Into its own again this holiday week-end. With the two-and-a-half day holiday and the favorame weather that Is promised. Friday. Saturday and Sunday should see the local course well populated' with club wlelders.

Doubtless, many ladder 'tournament matches will be played and several changes made in the standing. Who taows but what we may have a new leader at the top of ladder. The extremely warm weather has blamed for the scarcity of players on.the course, and the torrid temperature is likely the most logical explanation. But those golf- "ers who stayed away from the course because of the weather probably suffered more from the heat than those who took their clubs In hand and hied forth to the links. A cool breeze blew over the course most or all of the time and playing most comfortable, much more so than prespirin? in a stuffy room.

Abie Parnell is another new member added-io the local club. His membership was passed upon along with that of Lee Arington and Lloyd Pessarra. Abie showed surprisingly good 'form In his first several rounds and promised to develop into a good golfer. Windy Arnold made a wholesome defe'nse of, his ladder tournament lead Wednesday afternoon when Arnold. Charlie Taylor, Tom Knapp and Arthur in a a -contested four-cornered match.

Incidentally, Windy played himself out of tourney competition for the week in so doing. a Each member of the foursome was matched against the other three and quite a shake-up in the standing resulted. Arnold defeated each of his opponents and dune to his lofty position, but Penney moved Into second place, Taylor dropped to third, and Knapp, with the worst end of the deal, was dropped to fourth position. Results of these matches and all others played and also the revised standing follow: Arnold defeated Taylor, 2 up. Arnold defeated Penney, 4 and 3.

EVENLY MATCHED Rogers was on the mound for Freeport and twined good ball, errors at third and short getting him In trouble. The Freeport line-up today will be about is follows: Adams, Rogers, Wtlson.p; Thweatt, Ib; Royalty, 2b; Jim'Wil- lenberg, ss; Bean, 3b: Featherhoff, McRby, Smith, outfield.

Local Team Will be Strengthened by Addition of Several New Players. Another of those typically high spirited nnd hard fought baseball contests between Freeport and its rival at the county seat, Angleton, will be reeled off here today, start- Ing at 2 o'clock. The game is one of the principal entertainment features of the big celebration program sponsored by the local Ralph Hanson Post American Legion. Bee Rogers and Red Adams, former members of the Freeport Tarpons of the South Coast league, will add strength to the Freeport line-up. This pair likely will form the local battery with Rogers on the mound and Adams behind the plate.

If It becomes necessary the battery can be switched with Adams, who Is showing lots of stuff with his salary wing, taking the mound and Vernon Featherhoff going behind the bat. The two teams have played two hard contested games this season with each getting one decision, Freeport winning the last game decisively 10 to 4. Likely, the Angleton line-up will also be strengthened for today's game. The local nine is in high spirits as result of the surprisingly good game put up at Gulf Sunday where they were barely nosed out 7 to 6. Miniature Golf IT'S LOTS OF FUN Have You Played It Yet?
