Child IS SM0TnERED
TO DEATH

SEATTLE June 9.-While sleeping
with it's parents at 919 Fourth ave-
nue. yesterday morning John Berg.
the 1O-month-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Berg, was smothered to death
beneath the bed clothing. The partic-
ulars of the tragedy are meager, for
the infant was put to sleep in an ap-
parently healthy condition.
Yesterday morning when the fam.
lily awakened the child was found cold
in death. Just what hour the acci-
dent occurred is not known. Coroner
Hoye was notified, but has practi-
cally decided that an autopsy was un-
necessary.
The authorities who looked into the
case declared that thereyw was nothing
to show that death occurred from
other than purely accidental causes.

come in off the new links, wher he had

He wore pair of heavy shoes. soft

He was burned black. His face,
hands and neck showed plainly that he
had spent most of his time out of

Mr.. Jacobs has a peculiar accent.
It isn't Scotch and might be English.
He speaks with polish that bellies his
rough attire. He has all of the cour-
teousness of a well-bred Englishman
and the enthusiasm of a true lover
of sport.
When explaining the game. he was
earnest and careful that no detail be
lost. He is what he calls himself-a
golf expert. He is also a delightful
man to interview.
Mr.. Jacobs escorted the writer over
the temporary course now being used
and explained the game, its strokes,
it's difficulties and its pleasures. The
object of the game is to drive gutta-
pereha ball from one position into a
hole some distance away in the fewest
possible strokes. The ball is put in
play at a tee, small plcA OF ground.
The hole toward which the ball IS
driven is on putting green" some
hu,. lreds of yards away.

artificial bunkers or hazards which

the crying need of our church. We are
too busy with the material work in
our churches. We have deacons ap-

of the speakers were in favor of a

meeting to be revival meeting.
Others favored revivals at certain pc

"The distinct feature Of golf is the
'bogie.' A bogie is an imaginary score
which a player sets for himself. For
instance, my bogie on the first hole
is three. l am not playing up to form
if l do not make the hole in three
strokes. Another man, of less ex-
perience, may have bogie of five for
the same hole. Although my bogie
is three, my opponent will have to
play just as hard as do. In this way
players of all ages can play and have
close competition although they play
very different games. A person can
play golf alone. The bogie is his op-
ponent.
Must Have Control.
'I said it takes two years to make
a full-fedged golfer. That is, it will
take that long if the player has natural
ability and an athletic nature. Other
wise, it may take lifetime for a per-
son to learn to play good golf. When
player starts in. he thinks he has
learned the game when he has learned
to drive. If he can step up to ball
and send it flying he rejoices in the
belief that he has mastered the game.
He has just commenced. T he drive
is the most fascinating feature in the
play. But after a player has learned
to drive he must then learn to control
his ball. This is the mark of good
golfer.
''Real golf commences when the
play is within l20 yards of the hole
on the putting green. Here is where
control counts. 1t is Travis wonderful
control that has made him the worlds
champion. The putting ground is not
level. How to make stroke on
rolling ground is the thing to be learn

drivers, putters, lofters, mashies. clubs
of all descriptions. Each has its use
and all are necessary. 1t is only by
experience that a player knows what
club to use to make a certain shot.
In golf no matter where the ball falls
it must be played without being touch
ed with the hands.
''When the links are completed we
will have a very fine course. To have
really fine links they must be layed
out along the sea, where the natural
hazards and bunkers are better. Every
hazard adds zest and interest to the
game. Still. these links are very good
