"Let me tell you one vairy funny story about putting. It was one day
I play at Nijni-Novgorod with the pro. against Lenin and Trotsky,
and Trotsky had a two-inch putt for the hole. But, just as he addresses
the ball, someone in the crowd he tries to assassinate Lenin with a
rewolwer-you know that is our great national sport, trying to assassinate
Lenin with rewolwers-and the bang puts Trotsky off his stroke and he
goes five yards past the hole, and then Lenin, who is rather shaken,
you understand, he misses again himself, and we win the hole and match
and I clean up three hundred and ninety-sex thousand roubles, or fifteen
shillings in your money. Some gameovitch! And now let me tell you one
other vairy funny story----"
