every one who takes up the game

nearly every would-be golfer nat

friendly matches every time he
gets the chance to visit the links.
Lucky is the man who, when he
reaches the first point of ambi-
tion, decides to devote the great
er part of his time to dtliGent
practice, preferably under the
guidance of a professional IN
structor. His progress will be
much faster. and consequently
more satisfactory from every

Minneapolis and Indianapolis had fin

Some leading spirits among the play

That night the players were in panic.
Another meeting Of the plotters was
called. The majority of the players
wanted to call off the entire fraud, de-
claring it impossible to fake games

protested this was unfair to their team,
as they had already given away two

German Ahead of Williams.

Williams was dropped into Hltn pldCe,
coming behind Otto F'roitzheim, the
German star. Froitzheim was beaten
by both of the Australasians at Pitts
burRh in the Davis cup matches, but in
view of the fact that he was troubled
by the news that war had been de-
clared his defeat was excusable.
Whether or not he should be placed
above williams is an open question.
Last year at Wimbledon the German
was beaten by Williams, but at that
time he was not in the best of health.
His showing in England early this year
should give him a place high in the
rating.
A. W. Myers, who did the rating for
the Field. in commenting on the rat
ing says in part:
.sAs an eyewitness Of the Davis cup
matches in America ] have little hesl-
alton in placing Mr.. Mclaughlin at the
head Of the list The Californian not
only beat both Mr.. Brookcs and Nh.
Wilding dosing but one set to the lat
teri. but he beat both Australasians at
their best.
.Mr. Brookes is braclseted with Mr..
WiIding because the record of both
men against Mr. Mclaughlin is vir-
tuaIly identical, and because though
Mr.. Brookes deprived MIR. Wlding of
the champions ship at Wimbledon this
wear. and was admittedly his superior
on that day, the latter had Two recent
continental victories OYER Mr.. Brookes
to his credit. Nor can the record OF
both players against other members
Of the team be overlooked: it suggests
that Mr.. Winding has greater steadi-
ness than Mr. Erockes and in ioiis
matches against the came opponents

Such a consistent record as has been
made under the direction of Coach
Haughton is ono of which all Crimson
followers may well feel proud There
is no evidence of tagging on the part
of the teams at any time, and in the

have been made or the team held to a
tie il has been because several mem

complaint that it was seriously ham,

This fact, of course, is one of the main

the standing of the men, and it has
been SO for number of years.
This season, however. followers of

Guilty that the committee has found is
in the placing of the first ten. 1t has
been a season of rcversals for the star

unusual difficulty.
Even in the early part OF the season
the usual system OF things proceeded
to mix itself UP in way guaranteed
not to bring peace of mind to the men
whose work it is to give the players
their proper rank for the year. The
main diftculty, however. turned up
when Richard Norris Williams, I'd, up
set all the predictions at Newport and
defeated Maurice r.. McLoughlin in the
final round for the national champion
ship. This was accomplished after NC

Protest against the killing of wom-

in the bombardment of Scarborough
and Whitby has been made public by
the British embassy, which issued this
statement:
THE military attache of the German
embassy has justified the killing of
women and children by the imperial
German navy at Scarborough and
Whitby, on the ground that these
places were defended within the
meaning of the Hague convent (IX,
1900.
Even were they defended the con-
vention prescribes a reasonable time
of waiting and due regard for sacred
edifices and historic monuments.
LAS a matter of fact, Scarborough is
a seaside resort and Whitby a fishing
village. Both are absolutely undefend-
ed. Their bombardment took place
without the slightest notice, and
churches seem to have been especially

TRY THIS If YOU
Have DANDRUFF
Or Are Bothered With Falling
Hair or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys It en-
.tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, If not all, Of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandTuf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, iustrous,
glossy, silky and soft and look and feel
hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair looking
rich, do by all means get rid of dand
ruff, for nothing destroys the hair so
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
ard makes it fall ont, but It makes It
stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and
lifeless, and everybody notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug store
Il is inexpensive, and four ounces Is
all you will need. This simple remedy
has never been known to fail.
