Honest Governor

Last week Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, golfing on the Greenbrier course at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., drove so vigorously,* approached so deftly and putted so accurately as to complete 18 holes in 83 strokes. His score would have given pride to many a golfer whose game was not handicapped by the fact that the player was also a governor. Many a hole was made in par. Enthusiastic cameramen, having pictured the Governor golfing, wished him to pose clutching a tennis racquet, bestriding a horse, pitching quoits. No tennis-player, no horseman, no quoiter, the Governor refused thus to be photographed under false pretences.

*He made a 150-yard carry over a water hazard.
