and tiresome changing Of clothes.
And what did we get out of it," de-
manded Mr.. Bangor. rumpling his gray

had made his cashier OF a wholesale

PUTTING PRACTICE. - Walter
]. Travis is probably the best put
ter among the top-notch amateurs
of the present day. He owes his
success in winning the British
amateur championship of 1904 to
his superiority on the putting
green.
This skill at putting in the case
of Mr.. Travis is the result of dill
gent practice. 1t has given him a
facility with the club and fund
of experience regarding distances
that probably exceeds that of any
other player.
AT one time Mr.. Travis practiced
putting on a green arranged with
cups smaller than the regulation
size. This gave him greater con-
fidence when he got on the regular
greens. for the holes then looked
as big as bushel baskets. as to ii
We're. to him.
Every golfer who wishes to excel
should devote as much time as he
possibly can TO practice with the
putter. 1t is the club used for
about half the shots in any round.
A siX-inch putt counts just as
much on the score sheet as a 300
yard drive.

EUGENE H. GRACE
Last Chapter il Famous Atlanta
Tragedy
LONG FIGHT FOR LIFE
Dying Man Lay In Stupor For Hours
Before the End came--Surrounded
by Members of His Family.

Eugene Grace is dead and the final
chapter has been written to the IA
nous tragedy.
The end came early Monday morn
ing at his. Newman home where he
has been living for months. Through
out Sunday he had lain in stupor
into which he fell shortly after mid
night. Saturday.
From late Saturday afternoon until
death he was unable to speak. He
could hardly stir, and injections of
the stimulant which had kept him
alive so long were quickened from
four to two-hour doses.
Around him were gathered his
mother, brother, sister and step-father
and a number of relatives.
While the angel Of death was hover
ing over Eugene Grace there came
from the North the report that the
woman he accuses was cherishing
the hope that her husband would re-
cover and ask her back into his sunny
Southern home
Story of Shooting.
Grace was. wounded March 5, 1919.
Awaling about noon with bullet
in his spine, he crawled from bed to
telephone police headquarters. Po-
licemen found him unconscious in d
locked bedroom of his East Eleventh
street home. He accused his wife,
and she was arrested at the Termi-
nal station, on her return from her
husbands home in Newman.
Mrs. Grace declared the shooting
was accidental. She faced Grace in
the hospital where he accused her be-
fore detectives, saying she shot him
while he was asleep. She was Jail
ed, but shortly later gave bond and
made a trip to Philadelphia. Her
trial occurred several weeks later and
she was acquitted. The wounded
man attended the trial on stretcher.
constantly reiterating his accusal
Upon acquittal, Mrs. Grace returned
to Philadelphia, where she now lives.
From the very first the doctors told
Grace his condition was hopeless and
that death was certain, but he never
believed them and was always conf,
dent he would eventually recover,
His long brave fight centered the at
tention of the medical world, and ex-
cited unusual interest all over the
country.

of the Democratic membership OF the

ing's crew. The accident occurred
near the very spot where a launch
from the battleship Minnesota went
down in 1907 with the loss Of eleven
lives, mostly young midshipmen re-
turning to the Minnesota in a storm
after midnight following a social
function at the Jamestown exposition
grounds. Another coincidence was
that the Wyoming was lying at an
chor in the same place that the Min
nesota was lying on the fateful night
six and half years ago.
