THANKSGIVING GOLF
Snow and Ice Wreck Days
Program at All the Clubs.
CHEVY. CHASE is GAME
McAboy Best in Handicap, With
Lotus and Thompson
Tied for Place.

With the exception of the Columbia
Country Club, extensive Thanksgiving
programs were the order at all of the
local golf clubs yesterday, but in every
case but one the snow and ice on the
links caused a postponement. At the
Washington Country Club a ladies put
ting contest was scheduled, as was an
eighteen-hole handicap match against par
for the men, with special prizes for the
best net and gross medal scores made:
while a putting contest was on the card
for members of the Bannockburn Club.
At Chevy Chase two events We're
scheduled; with handsome prizes to be
given from donations made by Col. H. F.
Hodges, Judge George G. Perkins, Ar
thur Lee and Admiral F. F. Fletcher. The
first-a thirty-six-hole medal handicap
match, was called off, but a large entry
list was received for the eighteen-hoe
handicap match against par, although
less than twenty turned in their cards.
The snow of the morning which ne
cessitated the calling off Of the thirty
six-hole medal handicap match, made
good playing an impOssibility and, con-
sequently. very poor scores were turned
the winner, E. Lotus and Morven
Thompson being tied for second honors
with 10 down.
The thirty-six-hole match at Chevy
Chase has been declared off altogether,
but the events at the other clubs will be
played, yesterdays schedule being carried
over until tomorrow at the Washington
Country Club. The putting contest at
BannOckburn is an annual event, a hand

times before becoming the permanent

That is the one contest. though, for which

The mecca toward which all will turn to-

Just which will win is something un-

the Army has been declared an over

soldiers should win by good margin,
seems to be the prevailing idea, but that
Navy team may have lot more to say

Fatal Error by Merkle.

Bridwell whaled the first ball pitched to
him safely into center. and ran to first
base, while Mccormick crossed the pan
with what ought to have been the win
ming run, but wasn't Merkle was the
answer. This young man. who was SUBJ
bling for Fred Tenney on first that day.
started toward second on Bridwells hit.
but when half way there. ducked his
head and ran for the clubhouse back OF
right field to beat the crowd, which al
ready was swarming on the arena in the
belief the game was over.
But the Cubs and at least one of the
umpires, Hank O'Day. knew that game
was not over until Merkle touched second
base. Only three weeks before this iden-
teal situation had arisen in Pittsburgh.
Warren Gill. another recruit from the
bushes, like Merkle, forgot to touch sec
ond under exactly the same circum-
stances. But that day the umpire was
hurrying under the grandstand and did
not see the play. which Johnny Evers
made. The Cubs protested, but there
was no way to establish by non-partisan
testimony that Gill did not touch second.
SO nothing but talk came of it at the
time

Foot Ball Men Gather.

Foot ball men will gather from every
part of the country to watch the play
Although it is probable that the per-
formance of the two teams will not be
up to the standard in some ways, it is
the general aspect Of the game which
attracts. The play may or may not
be the kind which two elevens of that
caliber generally put up, but it will
be worth seeing in the technical points.
For instance. it is probable that the
charging and blocking will be superb,
and also the tackling.
The work of the two teams as far
as open-field play is concerned is likely
not to be up to what is looked for.
Time after time games have been
played between the two institutions
without either arriving at a decision.
because both feared to take the chance
which would have been necessary to
win. The game is more cOnservatively
played than is any other during the
entire season. Little of chance work is
ever tried, the uuarterbacks depending
on the safest kind of plays for the
greater part of their gains
a big crowd from Washington will
attend. Never an Army or Navy game
is played at which official Washington
is not well represented. The games
in the past have always proved much
more attractive than those between
the large universities from the stand
point of this city. for the simple rea-
son that so many are connected with
the government in one way or another.

BODY AS WELL AS BRAIN
Aim of Modern Educators Now Is to
Promote the Health of
the Child.

1t is no longer sufficient that school
shall not interfere with the health of
the child; it must positively promote
it, asserts DR.. Woods Hutchinson. The
schoolroom should be tolerated in so
far as it makes for health, and not one
whit farther. Growth is the chief
and only important business of the
child; and the duty of education is to
assist that growth. Whatsoever is
more than this in 1t, cometh of evil
The school ought to be, and must be
made, the wholesOmest and health
lest place in the world for the child.
The old education concerned itself
solely with the mind of the child, and
the only part of his body that 1t took
into account at all was the brain-bulb
at the upper end of him The new edu-
cation considers the whole child, and
proposes to develop all his powers
bodily, mental and moral. A healthy,
happy, well-taught childhood for ev-
cry child born into the community is
its aim-nothing more, nothing less!
No country which is contented with
less can call itself civilized. The
child is our best crop; the one for
which, In fact, all others are raised;
and no money, no time, no energy, in
telligently spent upon its cultivation,
can be wasted.

GREAT POWER OF THE LION
Only When Seen In the Wilderness
Can One Realize What q Great
Beast He 10.

"a very large lion I killed stood
three feet and nine inches ate the
withers and of course carried his
head higher than that" writes Stewart
Edward White In the American Maya
zine. "The top OF the table at which
sit is only two feet three inches
from the floor. Coming through the
door at my back that lions shoulder
would stand over foot higher than
halfway up. Look at your own writ
ing desk; your own door. Further
more, he was nine feet and eleven
inches In straight line from nose to
end of tail, or over seven feet along
the contour of the back. II he were
to rise on his hind feet to strike a

between seven and eight feet tall, de-
pending on how nearly he straight

mems Of our own mountain lion
tell you this that you may realize, as
did not, the size to which wild lion
grows. Either menagerie specimens
are stunted In growth or their position
and surroundings tend to belittle
them, for certainly until a man sees
old Leo in the wilderness he has not
understood what fine chap he is.
This tremendous weight Is sheer
strength. A lions carcass when the
skin Is removed Is a really beautiful
sight. The great muscles lie in ropes
and bands; the forearm thicker than
mans leg, the 1.-THE barrel banded
with Drawn; the TANKS overlaid by
the long, thick muscles.
"And this power is instinct with the
nervous force of highly organized
being. The lion is quick and intelli-
gent and purposeful; SO that he brings
to his intenser activities the concen-
tration of vivid passion--whether Of
anger, Of hunger or of desire"

JunaIe's Low Comedian.

In the Worlds Work, Mr.. Stewart
Edward White writes:
"The wildebeest Is the Jekill and
Hyde Of the animal kingdom. His
usual and familiar habit is that of
heavy, sluggish animal, like our ven-
ished bison. He stands solid and in
ert, his head down; he plods slowly
forward In single file, his horns swing
ing, each foot planted deliberately.
In short he is the personification of
dignity, solid responsibility, gravity of
demeanor. But then all of sudden,
at any small interruption, he becomes
the giddiest OF created beings. Up
goes his head and tail; he buck jumps,
cavorts. gambols, kicks up his heels,
bounds stiff-legged, and generally per-
forms like an irresponsible infant. To
see whole herd at once of these
grave and reverend seigneurs sudden
ly blow up into such light-headed ca
pers goes far to destroy ones faith
In. the stability Of institutions"

One does not look for literary men
among tailors, but none the less the
trade can claim some illustrious
names. John Stow. the antiquary and
author of the Survey Of London" for
instance, began life as tailor, and an
other famous tailoring antiquary was
John Speed, one of our early map
makers and member of the Society of
Antiquaries. And then there was Rob-
ert Hill, "the learned tailor" of Bir.
mingham, who contrived to teach him
self Greek and Hebrew and became
famous as writer of theological
treatises And George Meredith was
born over the tailor's shop.
