The sports editor of the Nevr York Times states that if reports .from Chicago are true there will be one golfer in the North and South Open Championships at Pinehurst, North Carolina, who, while he may not capture the winter’s golfing plume, will at least afford the gallary plenty of amusement. He is called the ambi-dexterous golfer, and hails from Australia. His name is Kirkwood. He stopped at Chicago en route to Pinehurst, and furnished an interesting session with so-called boomerang and other freak shots.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
