match with Brown, Lard received
good start and quickly had the score )
up. and he managed TO hold his own
after that. The Woodward-Clapp match
was much closer, but the latter was al
ways up and it could be seen that he
was the better man.
The meeting between Lard md Clapp in
the finals was exceptionally interesting
and quite a gallery followed the play
ers around. Both were cratic and
rather unsteady and the result was in
doubt until the end. Clapp was par
ticularly unfortunate in getting in
bitches, hazards. etc, and in the first
three holes he had lost three penalty
strokes He got away badly by driv
ing out of bounds. and this cost him
the first hole. On the second Lard got
away well and was just off the green
in one. Clapp having a bad side-hill lie,
but making a pretty out which enabled
him to ha1ve the hole, after each had
missed short puts.
The medal scores made were not as
good as many of those in the other six

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May s.--On one big
inning, the sixth. in which it tailed
three times. the Naval Academy base
ball team won from Catholic Cniver-
sity here today. 4 to .. The visitors
took the lead by scoring one each in
the second and third innings, after the
Navy had gotten one man across in the
first. They held that margin until the
sixth, when two-base hit, base on
balls and single and an error put
three men across the counting block.
Catholic University got three men on,
with only one down, in the first half of
the seventh, but was unable to score.
Blodgett frightened up and held his OPP
ponents almost helpless. He struck out
Fahey. pinch hitting for Johnson, and
then caused Lynch to dump an easy
roller down to him, on which the latter
was promptly thrown out.
Adams gave remarkable exhibition
at short for the Navy. His work in the
field and extensively was exceptionally
good He went away over back of
third, picked up a hard hit grounder
by White and threw him out at first.
Besides this, he pulled two or three
other fielding features. The score:

Weaver was up in the seventh, David

them even at the turn. The tenth, four

The best golf of the day was shown
by G. w. Woodman of the home club, in
the last half of his match with F. l..
Davis in the fourth sixteen. He was 2

Coach John Rush of the Princeton
foot ball team has introduced novel
method of teaching his men how to be-
come gridiron stars. He has begun to
utilize moving pictures for that pur-
pose, and he is taking pictures of the
men. SO that they may see themselves
as they are seen by others. From this
it is hoped the men will profit consid-
era bly,, as it will be an illustration of
their way of doing things which could
not be given in any other manner. TO
Judge by what Rush did at the Uni
versity School in Cleveland, it is prob
able that many novel methods of turn
ing out an efficient gridiron machine
will be adopted before the end of the
1915 season, the chances being that the

No Escape From Nobility.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
Sir Edgar Speyers letter to Mr.. AS
Quith is of more than ordinary interest
as ii raises a very curious question
Can Sir Edgar relinquish his baronetcy
by writing letter TO the premier ask
ing to have it revoked? In the old days
a nobleman's title could be attainted
of course. and the blood succession
stopped. That Is now impossible. A
nobleman cannot lose his nobility. Once
ennobled, the blood cannot be affected by
any act or crime of its possessor. On
the other hand, title cannot be abdi-
Gated or set aside. II such power had
been inherent in the bearer of a title
of nobility, how many successful mem
bers of the house of commons inherit

The Cheerfulness Cure.
rom the Columbus Journal.


Health Officer Dixon of Pennsy lvania
says it is very difficult for the most
skilled diagnostician to trace the exact
connection between mental depression
and physical illness, but he insists the
connection is there all the same. His
idea is that cheerfuiness is largely a
habit, which Is so closely related to
health that they go together. Amy per-
son who gets sick should try first to
cure himself with cheerfulness. 1t is
done many a time. Health is harmony,
joy, kindness, hopefulness, helpfulness.
The Bible tells US "a merry heart doeth
good like a medicine"
if people would only take the merry
heart kind of medicine, IT would save
them hundreds of dollars. There is
hardly a malady but what 1t will cure,
or at least, make better. There is no
reason why there should not be school
of medicine In which cheerfulness is the
daily prescriptions Besides, any drug
medicine one takes has to be mixed
with cheerfuiness or 1t will utterly fail.
A whole drug store wouldn't do any
good TO man who has a crouch on.

New Sweaters.

g ILK sweaters with wool backs have
~ both warmth and beauty. They are
of three-quarter length and are made
with belts or sashes and are fur trim
med. The bright colors with black or
white fur trimmings make very strik-
ing and attractive effect. Many winter
sweaters have the same features as
summer sweaters. The length is about
the same and the collars are of the
convertible style. There are more wide
belts than sashes. They are at the
normal waist line and are finished on
the side or front with buttons Checks,
stripes and changeable effects are used.
but the most popular effect is the
sweater of solid color with trimmings
of a contrasting color or black, or in a
darker color of the sweater. There are
caps and scarfS to match sweaters.
These give a smart touch to a knitted
outfit.

If you should come across an English
bulldog with a somewhat Falstafflan
body and teeth that imply that he eats
babies every day in the week and
grown folks on Sundays-dont be
alarmed. 1t is only Rowdy, out for his
morning walk.
Once in while Rowdy's promenade
causes misconstrued concern. For one
instance:
A woman who was scurrying TO catch
a car bumped into the dog good and
hard. And. naturally, Rowdy groWied.
Who wouldn't?
Also naturally, the woman yelled.
Rowdy paused. inquiringly. and looked
at the woman to see what allied her
even as you and land, the woman
yelled again. Also she resumed her
scurrying. And when she got to the
corner. a little ahead. she voiced her
wrath to another woman who was also
waiting for car.

to be against the law to let an animal
like that loose on the streets-the ugly
brute,
She was right, there. He was so
