iN > Ce J 7 Miniature Golf Again S vce I last wrote about Midget Golf—let’s see, when was it I didn’t write about it?—several million new nutshell courses have sprung up. Everybody with a vacant lot has decided to make his fortune by installing one, and the game has taken on the menace of a public problem. It’s developi type of sharpshooter who slo nd now, attired in plus d tough-guy cap, he has come out- used to hang around 1 fours, green stocking: doors to add a new s ad light burn, Soon it will have its slang, champeens and racketeering. Furthermore, people are obviously getting lazier and lazier, Cespite the small handful of college men who are indulging in sports. There's no telling what inroads on the Nation’s Manpower this new, effeminate version of golf will make.
