Copy Desk

~ OLE scribes, ordinary writer's. assist
7 ant city editors and other members of
. the great journalistic public have been agi-
tating the question for some days as to the
possibilities OF a local newspaper golf as
soclatlon.
Tho new body would be in line with
similar ones in other large metropoIii and
will be on the same principle as those crop
ping up like mushrooms among large busi-
ness organizations.
one OF the objects of the new club as
proposed will be 10 give the ''molders Of
public opinion" by physical contact, keen
appreciation OF the thrills. the harassment
of soul and the heart throbs to be ex-
tracted from the game Of golf.
Another purpose will be 10 keep the fol-
lowers OF crime and the grinding presses
out OF dark haunts and to bring them into
the great outdoors where they can enjoy
healthful recreation.
Many newspaper men have expressed a
desire 10 take a crack" at the game that
Is steadily riding in on the tide of popular
favor. and threatens TO oust baseball and
an the other small-time sports as the ma
tional pastime.
There are scores Of newspaper men in
this city that have already taken a hand
at golf and these are the ones that are
making the most commotion for the club.
The main purpose OF such club, as ia
any business golf association, Will be 70
promote good fellowship and intimate ae-
quaintance. 1t viii offer much In the way
of soeiability.
1t is proposed TO hold tournaments on all
two of the holidays offered newspaper men,
Christmas and the Fourth OF July. There
will be handicap play in slack hours and
plenty OF chance for sociable rounds vita
members The course OF one OF the local
clubs will be open 70 the members for enc
daN. and Il Is expected that several other
clubs will be equally generous. More than
a score of newspaper men az the present
time play regularly over the Cobb's Creek
course. and il is thought the membership
of the proposed club win speedily climb TO
the century mark.

Mayor Smith and Director Will
son Will Endeavor to Capture
Buckwood Trophy

Mayor Thomas B. Smith and Director
Wilson are doomed as entrants In this
years going for the annual Shawnee golf
tournament which began today and lasts
till Saturday.
The city officials found II something of
a comfort to get away from the hornets
nest of raids, shake ups and so forth that
have been agitating the official circles for
the last few days and take out their enthu-
siasm on an innocent golf ball in the
Delaware health resort.
They will strive to bring home the Buck
wood trophy, offered to the winner of the
first sixteen, and tho last leg of which is
held by B. Warren Corkran, one of the
most elite of all the golfers In the United
States. He is allowed only three strokes
in national circles. Corkran will not de-
fend his title this year because he Is too
busy defending the gringo-btten mesl
down along the border as a member of III.
National Guard,
A very fast field teed off today for the
trophy. and splendid brand of golf was
shown the nativos r.nd summer folks. There
will be three siNteens, beaten eights and
golf enough over the leautiful course to
satisfy all those that ti.il to qualify in one
or another of the division.
The Bnnekill trophy is contested for by
those In the second flight. A gold medal
goes to the golfer turning In the best card
of the qualifying round today.
Most of the expert local golfers are In
the going, so much so that there has been
a general shift of the local golf encamp-
ment to the Riverside links.

there was disturbance. It might mean that SIbert and his men had arrived; it might mean that the guards without, alarmed by the confusion within, were entering to investigate. In either case it was the moment in which Jim mutt act-the moment in which he must take his chance. He swept up heap of letters from the larger table and, bundling them together, he thrust them under his/c before any one turned about.
 Then the person who turned was the young girl who had sat facing the door. Jim had made no noise which could have caused her to suspect his presence. She seemed to have realized before any of the others that the fact that Bole was bound meant that the one who hdd been Bole's prisoner must be free in the house. She spun about to the salon to protect the documents there, and, seeing Jim, she did not re coil; she cried to the others and ran at him. The rest, still much amazed, did | not follow her at once and she advanc- ed alone upon Jim. He backed toward the nearest window and, pointing his revolver, tried to frishten her "Stops' he warned her sharply. "Go | backr'
