Country Club’s golf course has been ralsed one stroke hecause of the abstinacy of a recluse who built him- house on the links. he hermit_had lived for years in a shack on the Missouri River bank. but when the city acquired the river frogt for a park it drove him out. The golf course is situated on a sub division laid out eleven years ago and cut into lots. Nobody built on any of the lots, and the country club acquired them for links. Many of the owners lived in distant states and had all but forgotten the property. The recluse recalled that & few worldly possessions w Tot on the golf course. He located it, and stily constructed a hut. The next ¥ golfers found it leoming thirty nong his {yards from the tee of the fifth hole, squarely blocking the green. The owner asked too much for the lot. So the house will stay, the golfers will use a mashie from the tee and par for the hole will be five instead of four. GERHARDT IS POLO STAR. RUMSON, N.
