Once again the mixed bowling quin- tet explained by MT. Wright demon strated their superiority over Cap 1 tain Johnson's team at the Aetna all leys, when the latter team took the l "booby' end of three games played with the record of no wins and three losses. The losers were never in the
 race and were as formidable against their opponents as the Brooklyn Rob- ins against the Red Sox Captain Wright continued his fine bowling and ! outdistanced all of the other players ky wide margin His total score Ter the play amounted to 305, with two scores over the three figure mark ! and the lowest being but five points under the charmed figure. MT. Lind of the victors ran second to his cap tain with 237. For the losers Cap . tain Johnson and McAvay were tied for first honors with 226. Miss
 Brown showed that she is as good a Fowler as some of the male perform CTS, particularly "BilP' Purcell, each having a score of 204. Miss Stef- anick's work left work for improve ment.

WILL HAVE THEIR SAY
s. G. A. Votes to Permit Women sOIf Players to Select Date and Course for National Tournament.

sOIf Players to Select Date and
 Course for National Tournament.
 New York, Nov. 2.-Recognizing the
 men are untitled to greater consid-
 ton especially when it comes to
 tournaments in which they alone
 interested, the United States Golf 8ocia tion has decided that next year
 least the women will be allowed
 only to select the date for their
 nual national championship but to Icide upon the course. Arriving at Is decision the executive board ad-
 led the women and immediately
 committee was appointed to take up
 work of finding 9 suitable place
 hold the next tournament and also
 decide upon the date. . This committee is made up of one
 bmber from each section of the
 untry and is led by Miss Fannie c.
 good of Brookline, as chairman.
 e other membe are Miss Marion b1Iins of WestbrooK, representing [e metropolitan district; Miss Elean- l w. Chandler of Philadelphia, rep =senting the Philadelphia district; <rs. Bruce D. Smith of Chicago, rep |senting the western, and Miss Alexa
 Stirling of Atlanta, present cham lon. representing the southern.
 !The women selected are expected to 3eet or else select their favorite urses and come to a decision on
 rec places to be submitted at the hnaal meeting of the United States |oIf association in January, when the tnited States Golf association will de- |rmine upon the place. At the same he the women are to name the dates |hich they wish to have for their burnament and the United States Golf Bsociation in all probability will &C., ept this, as it will come early enough give the tournament committee a nance to arrange dates which will ot conflict.
 Howard F. Whitney, secretary of he U, s. G. A, announced that he was huch in favor of allowing the women D conduct their own tournaments, hut 1t is hardly likely that the wo- ben will care for this. Heretofore he U. s. G. A. always has designated
 representative to handle the play ot he women as well as the men and here has been general satisfaction |iyen Because of this and because o1 he fact that the women are not in- lined to handle the executive work demanded in the tournament, the wo. hen probably will ask the U. s. G. A b care for this end.

CHAMPION BOSTON
 RED S0X ARE SOLD
(Continued from Eighth Page.)

I am pleased to find the new owners good sportsmen and great lovers of the game. I have turned over to the new owners the best team in world. It is now up to them 10 keep the champions at the top. MT. FraZee and MT. Ward are the only ones that have made me any kind of an offer for my ball club this season, and there was little trouble in coming to terms with these men, as they wanted the club and had the money" Lannin Owns Buffalo Club.
 MT. Lannin said that, while he is out of baseball here in Boston, he is still controlling owner of the Buffalo International League club, with Patsy Donovan, the successful manager.
 We win championships with the Buffalo club" he said, "but we do not make money, but I feel quite sure that some of the local people in that city will take the club off my hands pretty soon"
 MT. Lannin and the new owners, with Attorney Thomas J. Barry, the local counsel for the club, and the newspaper men met last night. MT. Frazee told of his days with the Pe- oria club in the Western League, where he was manager at the age of IF, and bought out the famous Iron Man." Joe McGinnity. This fall, after enjoying the post-season series with his friend, Hugh Ward, the two men agreed that Boston was great team, and they set out at once to try to get hold of the club after learn ing that MT. Lannin was willing to sell out. MT. Frazee said:
 "I have always enjoyed the game, and now I think that l shall have handling a ball club as we'll as I have for years been handling my theatrical business"
 The new owners left town on the midnight train for New York and Philadelphia. MT. Frazee will return in few days to take up his active duties as president of the club while MT. Ward will come here later They have made no arrangements for new manager and said that the posi- ton was certainly open for Bill Car rigan if he would return to the game They consider MT. Carrigan in every way the one man they want to handle the Red Sox. If he refuses to return the new owners have two or three other men in sight. They are satis- fled, however, that they can show Bill Carrigan that he should pass at least one more year at Fenway park for the purpose of making the Red Sox three time winner.

SOME ADVERTISING SERMONS

Mr.. Advertiser, glance these extracts over clipped from a country
paper printed not many hundred miles from this section:
"The constant trade going to Chicago mail order houses could be
cut in two ii local merchants pro oerly sought that trade. One instance
a a n illustration is shown in the party sending there for a mopsick
priced at 10 cents. She paid o receipt 8 cents postage, money order 3
cen and postage 2 cents; toal % cents. Our home merchants could sell
the same moptick Tor 10 cents and a better at that, but she didn't
know it, No advertisement called her attention to it.
"llerein is the text for a ser on by the editor of the small town
newspaper to his advertisers and to those who should advertise, but do
it irregularly or not at all. Well placed advertising holds trade. 1t
onserve trade and keeps it in home circulation. The bugbear Of many
merchants in the smaller towns is the mail order business. 1t is admitted
that the system alcniates home trade.
1T is in discussing this subject that the remarks of Mr.. Rosentha1,.
advertising manager Of one Of Chnagos largest mail order houses. "a
the non advertising merchant a left-handed compliment. He saws:
I'VE have q bureau whose duty it is % read each week the country
newspapers from all owe the country. There is not a aper of m n
sequence in III trade territory that our bureau does o get. This bureau
looks over these papers, and when W e find a town where the merchants
are not advertising in the local paper We Immediately flood that terri
tory with II literature. 1t always brings results far in excess of the
same effort put forth in territory where the local merchants all the time
use their local paper

This is a matter that concerns every merchant in Carson Civ And
