WRIGHT AGAIN
TAKES TITLE

Howard Wright. for two years
champion of the Lochburn Golf
club, again won the title Sunday
when he defeated w. ]. Noonan,
II up and 10 to play.
1t was a sensational game on
Wright's part. In the first IS
holes his scores we're AZ and "a,
or q total of 76. This was one
stroke better than his previous
record. The "a score is two
strokes under par.
Noonan has played golf only q
year. and his score of SO for the
first 1S Sunday Is considered
praiseworthy.

Double Bill
For Colonial

1t is hard to say which picture
feature of the Colonial double
bill pleased the crowd most yes
terday. The utterly charming
Cleo Ridgley and handsome Wal
lace Reid make 1.-THE Selfish
Woman" wholly enjoyable. This
Lasky production is a railroad
story of the west.
The adventurous college chap,
Algy Dupont, who is the hero of
blue Blood and Red" proved a
big favorite with yesterdays aud
fences. The role is capably acted
by George Walsh, the Fox star.
The story contains many laughs
and not a few thrills, among the
latter being the death-defying
auto dash of Mildred Damarest
to save Algy from lynching.

Kansas Golf Course Causes
Players Some Real Anguish

Golfers call II forty yards oil
anguish" and they're not exagger-
ating a bit, according to anyone
who ever has seen a player try
ing to negotiate the water hazard
on the Gates Park links at Inde-
pendence, Kan.
One must be a wizard to play
this course which has only nine
holes. 1t wouldn't be so siren
uous If you had only to drive over
bunkers and through sand traps
but when you have an old stream
or lake in front you're liable to
blow" shot or two and spell
good night to your medal score.
Directly in front of the sixth
hole driving place is a lake. The
water is 40 yards across and ex-
tends rs yards from it's edge up
stream to the bank little to the
right of the sixth tee.
The player must drive directly
across the water and make his
ball carry enough stuff that it will
not only clear this water hazard
but climb on up the hill and Tight
near enough to the hole to take a
three or four on the hard pin.
why that's cinch, the aver
age golfer may say. who
couldn't drive over 40 yards of
water?"
Chances are he can. However,
he's thinking about that hazard
from the moment he walks away
from the fifth green. IL he looks
up while making the shot he has
q top" and the gutta percha will
either hop forward a few feet and
through the mud to the water, or
clear the first hazard and splash
into the deepest part of the lake
near the other side.
Then the golfer Will get all "het
up while rescuing the ball and
will have to go back to the tee and
drive over again with a stroke
penalty imposed.
More trouble besets him If he
carries a hook on his first shot.
His ball will curve to the left and
finda nice downhill patch of
rough which can be cleared with
a half dozen strokes. And il he
slices he finds a long gully to
the right.
A good golfer can get a neat
175-yard drive up to the edge Of
the sixth green, take a short APP
proach shot, one or two puts and
hole out in three or four.
But he has to be CONSIDER
