"Then He Took Up Golf"

Reports coming out of San Francisco state that the latest victim to the game of golf is Frank O'Connor,'the well known lumberman and shipping official. Heis the San Francisco manager for the Donovan Lumber Co., and also holds a prominent position in shipping ctrcles, being president of the Pacific Coast Ship Owner's Association and a member of the Marine Committee of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

It Frank takes his golf seriously, this is going to be a blow to baseball. During the summer season, Frank can be seen any Saturday afternoon at the San Francisco base: ball park with hisgang in Box 31 giving the "Seals" his m'oral support. So it looks'as though the "Valencia Vanderbilts" might lose a good cash customer if he intends to spend his Saturday afternoons on the golf links.

Hugh Gallagher, "The Little Giantf' of the shipping industry in the San Francisco Bay District and connected withthe Matsoh Steamship Co., istheguiltyparty who lured Frank onto the golf links. Frank was initiated in his first game of golf reeently, with Hugh acting in the capacity of instructor but Frank took to the new game just like a duck takes to water, and walked ofi the winner of the contest. Frank shot the eighteen holes just under "N." It looked bad for Frank on the first nine holes as Hugh had him three down at the turn but coming in Frank shot a snappy string of lo's and beat Hugh out.

We understand that Frank has bought himself a very sporty golf outfit, and after a few more games he expects to show his stuff to some of his many lumber and shipping friends on the links.
