KIRKWOOD’S HOBBY
An Australian exchange recalls that the favourite hobby of Joe Kirkwood, the famous golfer, is juggling with the golf ball. For 15 years Joe has been hitting golf balls off borrowed watches, and finally the owner of the watch got a lucky break. Joe could not keep on fighting the law of averages all his life, and just once out of a couple of thousand times he busted a watch, broke it all to smithereens, and had to buy the owner a new one. He got a better one than he loaned Joe to perform his trick. Is Joe discouraged? Not on your life. Ho is still knocking the little ball off the face of the watch, and hoping that it will be a long time before the law of averages catches up with him again.
