BELIEVES GOLF is
|NCOMP PARABLE GAME
Youthful Champion Thinks His
Sport surpasses Any Other,
Including Baseball.
By FRANCIS ou1MEr.

Open Golf Champion Of the United States.
Did you ever stop to think what q
really sreSt Same s6if is?m Baseball is
a fine game, but the ball player cannot
play ball always. His muscles get
stiffened up after ten or fifteen years
Of hard service, and then he loses his
cunning. OF course. as in everything
else. there are exceptions.
The golfer can take up the game as q
boy and play practically the rest Of
his life. The businesst man derives
great pleasure in closing down his desk
for the afternoon. knowing that he Is
going to have pleasant round Of golf
1t can be played during . rainstorm or
fine day. To be sure, It II much more
fun to play when the sun Is shining.
You may go out with q heavy burden
on your mind. but after playing a few
holes you cast aside your cares and
put your heart and soul into the game.
Then the exercise one gets IL invaluable.
Legs. knees. fingers. hands arms. In
fact. all Of the body. come In for their
share.
Then. as all golfers know, now here
you will see such pleasing sights as ma
ture furnishes. The trees, ponds. and
valleys always make q welcome scene
Best Of all. though, il the fact that
you are always held In suspense while
playing: In pool or billiards the experts
can pull off almost any kind of a shot
consistently and when under fire
In golf I might venture to say that
no one Is or ever will be perfect. Harry
Vardon is at present as near perfect
as any one, with the exception Of his
putting. 1 mean by this that he makes
fewer mistakes than any player.
The fact that you never can tell what
is going to happen causes you to always
be looking forward to something to hap
pen. Your ball might come to rest in
a sand trap. yet is there not a chance of
your holeing out from there? To be sure
1t Is small. but, nevertheless, a Chance.
Then. again. a putt is not always
down, be II long or short, until 1t Is in
the cup. 1t is the little things. the un-
expected happenings, and various kinds
of freak shots mixed with the good
which makes golf 30 popular for all
ages and conditions Of men.

 State Prison
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcH]

LANSING, Kan, April 12.-The fire which destroyed four large buildings and caused a loss estimated at five hundred thousand dollars ir the Kansas state penitentiary here this afternoon was spread by convicts who scattered burning papers in the buildings in the path of the flames according to the statement of Fire Chief Michael Bah Ter of Leavenworth. Parole Officer John Higgins and Prison Physician A. T. Axford, confirmed the opinion of Chief Baher. Warden j. K. Codding said he believed it was improbable the convicts fed the flames.
 The towns of Lansing and Leaven- worth are in great fear of an outbreak but the convicts as a whole preserved ] the best of order, hundreds giving val uable assistance in fighting the flames
 Their efforts were largely responsible for the saving of the building occupied by the women prisoners. Fifty insane convicts, driven to a frenzy by the sight of the flames. screamed and with cienched hands beat upon the iron bars of their rooms. Warden Coddns moved them to another part of the prison. A number fought their rescu- CTS. sn<
 Six prisoners and one guard were burned slightly during the fire.
