THE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH

lie most dramatic day of the sixty
third Congress was when Champ
Clark. the speaker of the House, took
tho oor for his famous speech ex-
planning why he opposed President
Wilson's policy of repeating the Pan
anna Canal tolls exemption low. Clark
was on the losing side, and everybody
knew that the vote would certainly
uphold the President.
While the speaker was delivering
his remarks in his vibrant booming
voice, Representative Tom Heflin, of
Alabama, walked through the Demo-
cratic cloakroom. Even there the
thunder of Clark's voice was audible.
Hefin stopped, laughed. and said:
THAT reminds me of an old darky
down in my State. He was working
out in the middle of a field on a hot
summer day 1t was so hot that the
heat seemed to be simmering visibly
wherever you looked. After a while,
the midday train rushed by about a
half a mile away. whistling for n

"PUTTER'S VALUE 45
PER GEM" T"-TRAVERS
Four Timts Golf Champion Says Its
Tremendous Value Is Often
Underestimated

In the September American Maga-
zine Jerome d. Travers, four times
amateur gold champion of the United
States. writes an article entitled. The
Winning Shot," in the second series
of golf articles which he is doing for
this publication. Mr.. Travers regards
the putter as having forty-flve per
cent playing value as against fifty
five per cent for all the remaining
clubs in a players bag. On the i'm
portance of the putter he writes in
part as follows:
THE average golfer starts out upon
his round of the course with an ave-
rage of seven clubs, which are likely
to be driver, brassie, cleek, mid-iron,
mashie, niblick and putter.
IF each one of these clubs was of
equal value in the task of securing the
proper score, upon the basis of one
hundred per cent for the round, each
club would represent playing useful
ness of about fourteen per cent. But
this is where the system cracks There
is one club in the bag that has a great
er value than fourteen per cent. 1t is
the shortest, lightest and smallest club
of the entire lot, the simplest and yet

many unknowns can handle well and
yet club that battles an Evans and a
Nardon from one year into another.
! refer to the putter and / put it's
playing value at forty-five per cent
as against fifty-five per cent for the
remaining six. seven or eight clubs
needed for the round.
" 'Forty-five per cent is too high a
rating for any one club a number of
experts have said to me: but If l have
made a mistake here 1t is on the short
side. 1 only wish some of those who
underrate the tremendous value of the
putter had been at Brookline last Sep
tember when the open championship
of America was at stake. If they had,
they would have gone we'll beyond my
computation and put the value of the
putter at seventy-five per cent. Alec
Smith, the well-known professional.
kept track of different scores turned
in through this tournament. and he
figures that of every one hundred shots
played, seventy-6ve were taken on the
putting green. 1t was no uncommon
sight there to see crack golfers reach
greens over four hundred yards away

Baseball history was made at Island
Chabek marked up his twenty fifth
victory for the season. Reading lost,
score II to 2. The game was played
in one hour and eighteen minutes, a
new record. Not a man walked to first
base, and but three of the Hoffman
crowd were left on base.
1t was Lolly Pop day and an army
of kids numbering 1,100, each WITH a
candy on the stick in hand, made the
welkln ring with their cheers. 1t was
also Ladies day and the big crowd
was factor in putting ginger into the
game.
Cockill's crew climbed all over Lane,
hitting his easy curves to the north.
south, east and west. Chabek could
not be reached except in two innings.
An error was a factor in the one run.
1t was youngsters day. The Reading
and Harrisburg players travelled
around the field like two year olds.
Cruthers was the shining light for Izzy
Hoffman. Harrisburg's stars were
again bright, and sensational features
marked the playing of Cruikshank,
Miller, Mccarthy, Whalen and Emer-
son. Cockill was again the best pill
swatter.
Cockill's triple, Miller's double and
two singles with two stolen bases
started Harrisburg with three runs,
In the second. with five singles, a
double, stolen base and a sacrifice,
brought four runs. Two singles with a
sacrifice and an out added one in the
sixth. Four singles and a double,

the famed French actress, has just

from Belle Isle on the shores of Brit

beds. The fact that recent storms
have created unusual havoc among the
trees in the park by uprooting some,
blowing down others and. whacking
off branches right and left makes it
imperative that some measures be
taken to continue the growth and pro-
vide for the future.
When Youth Gives Way to Age
Special attention will be given to
the planting of young trees with ref
erence to the location of the older
ones and the general aligning scheme
that now obtains will be followed as
consistently as possible. Where old
trees have been blown over or cut
down youth will be put in it's place.
The young trees will also be placed as
nearly as possible to the old trees
whose tenure of life seems to be short
ening via decay and wind and the
other elements that they have wealth
cred for years and years.
Two great trees were blown down
in the River Front Park during the
last heavy wind and rain storm, one
of them 20-inch trunk This was
near Locust street. Countless branches
were whipped and clipped from others
throughout the park and this damage
VIII all have its disastrous effect in the
years TO come If more young trees are
not planted.
Bandaging the Storms Wounds
The damage done by the last storms
has been pretty we'll cleared away and
in most instances the torn branches
and other debris have been moved
out of sight. Front street residents
for a while complained that the dead
branches were taken from the park
and piled up over the river bank. Park
officials deny this and say that the
property owners took this method OF
clearing away the park in front of
their homes and that men from the
park department had to collect the
debris from the river bank and haul
1t away.
Trimming of the branches is now
going on and the more serious wounds
are covered with a treatment that
hides in way the bare stubs and pre-
