By "Chick' Evans.

r HEARTILY approve OF the w. G.

age. This is a splendid move by the
organization, and will result in a

Why Westward Ho finally dropped

they were a power for good during
their existence. I recall, too, that
the club had also a very interesting
open event that fell by the wayside.

the last two holes. 1t can readily be

The 1907 junior event began on
Monday and concluded on Wednesday
in order not to interfere with the

played on Saturday, with an enthu-

CHURCH PEOPLE
 ARE CRITICISED
Evangelist Bulkley Severely i Censures WayWard Ones
 at Meeting Last Night.

Evangelist Bulkley began tine sec ond week of revival at the Lake side Methodist church last evening, speaking to a large congregation. He used his theme "The Tree and It's Branches" and aimed particularly at the church members taking no pains to conceal the fact that he showed them no mercy.
 "Instead of looking all around you to see other people, stop, search yourself and get down here at the altar and get right yourself' said Mr. Bulkley. ''L pity you folks if Jesus would come tonight, for there would be about 200 out of this con- gregation in hell in about ten minu- teS."
 A pleasing feature of the meetings is the fine music. Sunday morning Mert T. Buckley, director of the music at the revival, had choir of about forty trained voices for a special number and also a duet by Misses Myrtis Sage and Moore. At the evening service quartette from the Carr Memorial church rendered several numbers, and MT. Buckley's $ trombone solo was a feature of the service. He also gave solo at the evening service last night.
 The young peoples class were started yesterday afternoon at 3 o'oclock and will continue every afternoon at the same hour. MT Buckley has charge of these mee ings and will make a series of talks on "The Sums of Chicago"
 The meetings will continue every l evening at 7:45 o'clock utiln leX1 Sunday, when Revs. Bulkley and Buckley will go to Little Rock and open series of meeting there or August 15.

Cut Expenses, Increase Results.

A leave of absence until Septem- Der 15 was asked for by Alderm m Ben B. Veil and granted. Mir. Veil proposes to leave the city and be gone until that time.
 That the affairs of the city are being run on an economical basis is evident by the fact that during the past year the expenditures of the city have been reduced over $25,O0O under those of the same period last year. The aldermen as well as the mayor are highly elated over this fine show ing and are striving hard to stay within the budget made up the first of the year. At the time the budget was made, the expenses of the city were greatly reduced and it was thought by many that the council men would be unable to say within the bounds set out in it. This, how ever, has been done, and the dis bursements of the city will in nc wise over ride the amount specified in the budget.
 1t is said by the aldermen that more work has bee ndone on the streets of the city in the past year than in any single year in the history of the city The pleasing feature of this accomp- lshmen is that all the work has been done by the city teams. The detail ed report of the expenses of the fiscaI year will be read at the next meet ing of the council.

 Chris Maihewson of the Giants is a sad eXamlpe of what golf will do to an otherwise perfectly Chrlstian-llke gent.
 Matty, as most every one knows does not play ball on Sunday. Such an act would conflict with his relig- ious scruples. He made it a condi' tion when he joined the Giants that he never was to participate in a Sunday game.
 Hearing of Matty's stand, and ad- miring it, St. Louis clergyman call ed at the Giantsi hotelito congratulate Matty, when the Giants were in the Mound City recently. It was on Sun day.
 "Mr. Mathewson is out, sir" the ho- tel clerk told the minister.
 Could you tell me, please, where 1 can find him?" asked the clergyman.
 "Yep, he's out playing golf-hls sec ond round today" was the reply. Joe Rivers. the Mexican light weight, is an enigma to the fight fans. Fitted against dub scrapper, Joe shows up like a world beater. He hits with terrific power, uses wonderful ring generalship, carries an almost in vulnerable defense and is heady and cool at every stage of the fight. But Joe against champ or near champ. is an entirely different person. He acts like man in a daze. Ills blows lack steam, his generalshlp IS joke and his defense easily IS pene- trated. From chain lightning per former against dubs Joe is changed to ball and chain performer against class fighters.

The discussion over just where one

The discussion over just where one should look while proceeding about the business of putting in a golflng game, goes merrily on. Some of our best little experts tell us to look at the ball-not tthe hole. Others tell us that we should look at the hole not at the balll.
 S'all right, fellows, when your ball is only a foot or so from the cup. One pair of eyes can be focused on both teh ball and the holt. But whaddaya- do when your ball lies anywhere from six to twenty-five feet from the hole
