score of 20. He missed his twentieth single
bird, but scored his doubles clean. When it
came to settling up the spois, tue captain of
the Kansas City team informed Parmelee

to the same rights and treatment. But this
wouldn't go, and the Kansas City captain re-
fused TO pay over the money, although he re-
turned him his entrance money. And they
call this gentlemeD's club. Some OF the
members, notably Mr.. Elliott, felt very much
