Scope and content
Ex-mayor M. G. Tennent, Tacoma's hole-in-one champ, the "King of Aces," watches the result of his swing at the indoor driving range at Allenmore Golf Course. Since taking up golf, Mr. Tennent has made eight hole-in-ones. But despite 100 tries at this hole, he has only come close. The winner will receive a new 1939 Buick. Unbeknownst at the time, John Anderson, watching in background while he puffs on a cigar, will become future Tacoma mayor. (T. Times, 4/14/39, p. 14).
