Gladstone's Luck

Gladstone wasn't lucky in "Links Hijinks"--Donald winds up losing to him
through a stratagem that backfires. In fact, in this story it's Donald
who has the incredible luck, lobbing a golf ball past all obstacles and
into the hole--but of course, the luck is negated when Donald's ball hits
a duplicate he had already planted there.
Didn't Gladstone appear in one other story before "Race to the South
Seas"? I'm thinking of the Swami Swindle story, where both Donald and
Gladstone try to raise ten dollars for Daisy's club but lose out the
nephews. In this story, the Gander doesn't have any advantage over
Donald, and is just a "rival braggart" as in the Wintertime Wager story.
