Probably never before in the history

Fox Hills and Baltusrol clubs are
keen for the 1915 attraction, while the
Garden City Golf Club and the VIII

handle the open or either of the other
championships should the United

POE STILL HITTING LINE
Princeton Stars Regiment in
Hard Fighting.

London Dec "a. Word has been re-
ceived from the firing line in Northern
France that Johnny Poe, the famous
American football player, who won
fame ar Princeton. is still hitting the
line. His regiment has been through
some severe fighting, but an this writ
ing Poe is unframed. Poe is acting
as an orderly 10 the colonel of his
regiment. and at this writing is not
making any Of the long runs that were
once his specially.
There is not more romantic char
acter in the world than this same
Johnny Poe. After his college days
were over he enlisted IN the ranks Of
the soldiers Of fortune. He fought in
half "a dozen of the revolutions in Cen
ira America. and the story goes that
he was captured and condemned to be
shot at sunrise. I'M some way or other
he managed 90 bluff his captors out of
killing him. and shortly afterward
made his escape. IL is said that he was
