GOLF – THE WATTIE 1500
Mr. James Wattie (left), sponsor for the £1,500 golf tournament watches players on the short fourth. With him is his wife and a friend.
Perhaps the greatest incident of the tournament, among many, was that which was enacted in the last minutes of the final game when Charles and Devlin were making their way to the eighteenth. Devlin had hit his second and was lying close to the green and as Charles swung his second away, the crowd which had fringed the fairway, rushed forward for a good vantage point around the green, taking up their positions before Charles’ ball had ceased rolling.
Page 12
“Well, what a Wizard,” said Bruce Devlin to Bob Charles as they survey the result of their second shots on the eighth. Their balls finished up within four inches of each other.
Even the top liners get into bunkers, but the difference is that they seem adept at still chipping out and finishing the holes with a birdie or bogey. No mean exception was popular Australian Peter Thomson.
Writing results of the rounds on the giant scoreboard is club secretary for Bridge Pa, Mr. J. S. H. Robertson.

MOTORISTS – Take a Tip from ROBBIE
If the battery always seems to need recharging, check the fan belt for correct tension. A loose belt can also cause overheating. A common means of adjustment is shown here.
For maximum petrol economy, the carburettor air cleaner should be removed at regular intervals. If the cleaner on your car is of the oil bath type, make sure you don’t refill so that the oil rises above the level mark, otherwise high petrol consumption will result.
A choked silencer can cause a great loss of power. If your car seems to be losing power, don’t overlook the possibility of the silencer being clogged with carbon. The remedy is replacement.
Incorrectly adjusted tappets will cause loss of power and will greatly increase the wear of the valve and its associated mechanism. Do not adjust tappets yourself unless you set them to manufacturer’s specifications with a feeler gauge.
Oiling up of spark plugs rarely occurs in an engine in good condition. If it does occur, check to see that the plugs are of the correct type.
When your mechanic tells you the generator brushes of your car need renewing, do you imagine something looking like a clothes brush? Here are two typical generator brushes; they are made of carbon and are quite cheap. Modern generators are fitted with only two of them.
