NICHOLS MAKES
LOW GOLF SCORE
At SHORT HILLS
Finishes Morning Round in
Seventy-tWO and Does Sew
enty-fiVe in Astronomical
Play Starts Today.
BY "Chick" Evans

SHORT HILLS. y. J., June IL
Playing brilliant golf. Gilbert Nichols
of Wilmington, Del, made the low
score for Wednesday. He finished
the morning round with a dne y. the
best score yet for Is holes and had
comfortable 10 Wednesday after
noon. The low score wednesday was
four strokes better than the best score
Tuesday. and curiously enough. 161
was again the limiting score for the
quali6ers.
James Barnes of Philadelphia came
in second with a total of 149 for the
two rounds. Barnes had great
chance 10 tie and even break the rec
ord of the course. but experienced
bad luck on the 10th hole which final
~ cost him a seven.
Walter Hagen, the title holder.
scored 1874 for his SO holes, and his
playing here so far has the same APP
pearance as always before the actual
event takes place. He is brim full Of
confidence.
1t is very gratifying to report that
Otto Hackbarth, James Donaldson
that Walter FoVarge was among
those who sank hopelessly by the
wayside.
jerome Travers led the amateurs
with two fine rounds of rs and rs.
On the whole, scores Wednesday were
better. The division was pretty ac-
curate as far as skill was concerned.
The average scores of the two days
play has been remarkably even.

AppOmattOx Day.

The ninth day of April will be the
fiftieth anniversary of the surrender of
the Confederate army under Gen. Lee
practically the end of the war. There
was no fighting after that. Arrange
ments are being made in many places
to observe the occasion in some fitting
way.
While we are not at all in favor of
Haunting our victory in the face of the
brave old comrades who felt it their
duty to fight on the other side, it is
we'll worth while for us in this jubilee
year to recall in public manner the
high courage and patriotic devotion
that saved our country from disunion,
kept all the stars on our flag and made
it in fact as we'll as in song "The land
of the free and the home of the brave. "
In commemoration of this event the
arranged fitting program for the
evening of April 9Th, at Culton Memoir
ial hall, free of charge. A cordial in
yitation is extended to the public to at
tend this jubilee meeting. The follow
ing program will be given:

Obituary.
JAMES NC FARLAND PYRE.

After lingering illness, Mr.. James
M. Pyre died at his home in this city
at II o'clock Sunday night. The cause
of his death was a heart trouble of long
standing. Mr.. Pyre was born in Her
kimer county, New York, October 20,
1914. He came west with his parents
in 1850 and spent his boyhood on a farm
in Porter township near Fulton. In
1866 he journeyed by boat and caravan
from ST. Louis to Montana, where he
remained until 1868. In 1869 he mar
ried Miss Jennie Wheeler. The chill
dren of this union were May and Har-
riet, who reside in this city, and James
Lloyd, deceased. After the death of
his wife in 1881, Mr.. Pyre came to Ed
gerton. In 1884 he married Miss Nellie
Sherman. Two sons were born to them
Frank and Russell. Mr.. Pyre was
engaged in the tobacco business until
failing health made him gradually give
up his work. He is survived by his
wife, his four children, May, Harriet,
Frank and Russell; two sisters, Mrs.
r. F. Benson of Troy, N. Y, and Mrs.
L. G. Spellman of Kansas City, and
one brother, Frank Pyre of Madison.
Brief funeral services were held at
the home at 2 O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, followed by service at the
Methodist church, conducted by the
Masonic lodge, of which he was a mem
Der.
To those who knew him best, Mr..
Pyre's life typifed all that was
gentle and kindly. He was devoted
husband and father, faithful friend.
He loved little children and little chill
dren loved him. He was fond of out
door life and those who loved him will
always remember him as he used to
stand among the green and growing
things he loved so we'll and cared for so
tenderly. That kindness of heart and
generosity of spirit that endeared him
to all who knew him was the embodi-
ment of his creed, expressed in his
humble way, 81 have never meant to
harm anyone" His patience in suffer
ing during his illness was but an out
growth of the cheerfulness and patience
which had governed his whole life. We
may say of this soldier who fought i'll
health so bravely and uncOmplainingly
what another once said in loving trib-
ute to more famous soldier: ellis
life was GENTLE

PROF. FRANK M. JACK.

The funeral of Prof. Frank NJ Jack,
whose death after long illness was
noted last week as occurring at his
home in Eau Claire, March oath, took
place at Beloit Saturday morning from
St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rev. E. J..
Evans officiating, interment being made
in the family lot in that city.
Frank M. Jack was born four miles
east of Beloit in October, 1865. He
graduated from Beloit college with the
class of 1890, choosing teaching as his
profession. His first work as high
school principal was begun in Edger-
ton. 1t was while here that he met
Miss Lois Kelly to whom he was united
in marriage in December, 1893. He
later taught in the South Division high
school in Milwaukee, and at Sparta,
was for four years employed as high
school Inspector under State Supt.
Harvey, and then at the River Falls
normal, when his i'll health required
absolute rest for year at his old home
in Beloit. He again took up the edu-
cational work as principal of the Eau
Claire high school but an old malady re-
turned and he had been i'll since the
first OF the year when he suffered a
breakdown due to a great extent to
trouble in his school following a strike
of the students. He is survived by his
widow and two daughters, Florence and
Mildred, and one sister, Mrs. Cora
Woodward of Chicago.
The Eau Claire Tribune pays the fol-
lowing tribute to Prof. Jack:
All have learned to realize that Prof.
Jack possessed uncommon talent for
organization of school work, that he
was moved at all times by high ideals
His life work centered very largely in
educational interests, devoting large
portion of his time for improvement of
the ethical sense of the public schools.
He had kindly disposition and was
always ready to help those in need, no
matter how great the sacrifice on his
part. Supt. Shulz has this to say of
him: II have always regarded Prof.
Jack as one of the leading educators Of
the state AS high school principal
in Edgerton, Sparta and the Milwaukee
South Division school his best traits of
character were developed. Under Prof.
Harvey's administration as state super
intendent of public instruction as high
school Inspector his services were of a
high character and commended. The
same organizing talent and ambition to
create higher standards of attainment
have been manifested in his admins
tration of our high school. 1t is much
to be regretted that a great deal of the
WORK ne had planned panned ne WAS not ABLE
count of Ill health" Prof. La Du-
Dahn, acting principal of Eau Claire,
said: GAS class room teacher, high
school principal, state Inspector and in,
stitute conductor of one of our normal
schools, prof. Jack has touched and in
spired thousands who today are living
fuller, broader and better lives because
of their associations with him."
