Heroic Rescues Common.

From all parts of Dayton come sto-
ries OF heroic rescues. The stolid
volunteers pay no attention TO them.
All of them for three days have con-
stantly offered their lives TO save
others. Several of these men have
given their lives on rescue work.
Their names are unknown. Watchers
on the banks saw them trying TO
reach persons in floating houses, saw
their boats upset and the men go
down.
Late in the day large frame house
fioated down the river. Four women
were in the windows. AS they neared
the Main street bridge they waved at
the crowd on the banks and the build
ing struck the pieces. There was a
swirl in the murky waters and lit
tic farther down stream the debris
appeared, but none OF the women.

Chicago.-"Women and children

This world-old cry, made more mem.

thrilled the world, echoed over the
nood-stricken districts OF Ohio and In
diana. Refugees who reached Chicago
told innumerable stories of men risk
ing their lives to save the women and
children.
The unwritten law OF the sea was
observed on the inland rivers. The
entire tenor of stories told by refugees
was one of bravery, selfsacrifce and

Nlctims Are Cheerful

One of the remarkable features was
the cheerful spirit with which food
victims viewed their plight. This was
Daytons first great food in many
years. Much of the submerged area
had been considered safe from high
water, but as the majority of resi-
dents of these sections looked out on
all sides upon a great sweep of muddy,
swiftly moving water, they seemed un-
disturbed.
In some Of the poorer sections the
attitude OF the marooned was not so
cheerful. AS motor boat passed be-
fore the second floor of one partly
submerged house a man leaned out
and threatened to shoot unless they
took off his wife and baby that had
just been born. The woman, almost
dying, was let down from the window
by q rope and taken to a place of
refuge.
Further on, members of a motor
boat party were startled by shots in
the second floor of a house about
which five feet of water swirled. The
boat was stopped and man peered
from the window of the house.

asked
"Oh, just amusing myself shooting

know, but this Australian brother
does, and only awaits an American in
vasion to surrender all his other
sports, crockett and the like, to the

a sojourn in Australia with plenty OF

iasm with which the national game"

Philippines or Honolulu will be mild
compared to the boom that awaits 1t
among the Australians.
Mr.. Sphinx had gone to Australian

PUN..KAM SHOOT

A WEEK
Postp0nement of Match to De-
c'de Ties Agreeable to the
MarNSmen OF Both 0rganiza-
lonesome BuIIseyes

The shooting match that was to
nave Leen held between Punahou and
MalnChamEha this week has been
postponed for a week, by MUTUAL con-
sent. Kamehameha felt that its team
had not hal eIAugh practice and was
the first io suggest that the match
be postponed. Punahou agreed to the
plan and Wednesday Of next week at
Namehameha. was the date and place
set.
Both teams have been holding prac-
lticeS several times a week, and by
next week they should both be in the
best trim possible. At the last meet,
the Punahou boys tied with the Ka-
mehameha shooters at 491 points
each. This was either very good for
Punahou or poor for Kamehameha
for this was the first time the Puma
hou boys had ever used the army
rifles, such as are used at Kameha-
meha. Several practices had been
held but their practice work was very
small compared with what the Kane
hameha marksmen get, There are
many good riI.a shots on the Puuahou
team, but the boys have, been used to
shooting with light hunting rifles.
Punahou had one big advantage over
Kamehameha, in that it shot with a
team of twelve from which the. six
best scores were taken, while Ka-
mehameha had straight six.
The team for this match of next
week will be composed Of twelve men
as last time, who will shoot against
the six Kamehameha men. Leslie
Wishard is captain Of the Punahou
team and the men who will shoot
with him are: Lawrence Gay.
Roland Gay. Scotty Schuman, Bern
ard Damon, Dixon Mott. G. Lindley,
Harold Baldwin, William Paris, NJ.
corey and Bill Coney. >'.sr->s
This is practically the same team
that shot last time, and if the men
do as well as they Gid then, they will
stand good chance of winning Each
shooter will get twenty shots, ten
standing and ten prone.
Leslie Wishard is the best shot at
Punahou, and the team counts on him
for high average

GOLF GOSSIP

In Golf Illustrated, Garden Smith
treats editorially Of what he calls the
new game of golf" He tells us that
it is now about twelve years since the
rubber-cored ball displaced the bail of
solid gutta-percha, and the question of
how the change has affected the game
is being actively debated at the pres
ent time. 1t is question, of course,
which only those who learned to play
with the gutta-percha balls can right
ly judge, and although the competent
authorities differ to some extent as to
the nature and degree of the changes
that have been brought about by the
new balls, they are unanimous on one
point, and that is, that the standard of
play has been greatly lowered 1t is
even asserted in some quarters that
the rubber-cored ball has altered the
golf, we are told, was only played with
the gutty-What We play now is not

Criticism Justified.
Those who hold this latter opinion
have good deal to say for them
selves. They can point to the much
greater ease with which. the rubber
cored ball can be played from bad
lies; to the fact that when topped it
travels almost as far as when we'll hit,
whereas the topped guilty ran only a
few yards. 1t is also to be admitted
that the ratio of distance between
wood and iron shots has been COM

while its greater elasticity has robbed
