Soldiers Need Play Spell

Marshal JoFre, Of France, who was
recently in America, says a soldier
must play as well as fight or be is not
good soldier. just as civilians must
rest and play to be most efficient in
their work. Nor is this doctrine ap
piled merely 20 the bomb throwers and

by the French army chiefs all down
the line.
Marshal JoFre believes the green

all ills. and since he has seen America
he is sure that the placid streams and

a distance too great for average mashie

AndersonWins
Golf Tourney
AT Scarsdale
Siwanoy Players Have
Their Own Way in West
chester County

John G. Anderson won the Westches-
ter County tournament at Scarsdale yes
terday when he defeated II. l.. Phillips,
fellow club member, in the final by
two up and one to play. The Siwanoy
players had things pretty much their
own way in this tournament. and three
of them were left in the semi-iinals
against one entry from Hudson River,
who was finally brushed aside in the
morning round and the two Siwanoy
stars fought it out in the afternoon.
In winning this event. which was
originally scheduled for champion
ship. Anderson had considerable oppo-
sition from his own club. First il was
T. H. Hoyt. who only succumbed after
carrying his rival along at "A lively clip.
Then it was Lloyd Gwyer. who forced
the ex-Bostonian to go twenty-one holes
before he gave up, and later young
Phillips. who was finally beaten.
Not at Their Best
Anderson and Phillips were not play
ing at their best. which accounts for
the fact that few holes were halved
during the round. Anderson started
out by anneXing three out of the first
four holes. Phillips. however, came to
life and won the next three IN row
and the battle began all over again.
After half at the eighth in five An
dcrsOn got the ninth. tenth and elev-
enth and assumed commanding lead.
Both took tours at the twelfth and
SKIES at the thirteenth, where each
made a costly mistake. Phillips was
by no means beaten, Ms he came back
and won the fourteenth and the six
teenth and reduced his opponents lead
to a scant margin Of one up.
Then Anderson settled the affair by
driving to the green on the 32Syard
seventeenth. and as Phillips could only
reach the green in two and then re-
quired three puts the match was set
tied.
Three Extra Holes
The match between Anderson and
Gwyer proved TO be the thriller of the
day. After both had overlooked oppor-
tunities Of winning before the home
hole was reached. the players were
forced to 90 three extra holes before
a decision was reached. The nineteenth
was an easy half in four. but on the
twentieth Gwyer found trouble on his
tee shot and il looked as if it was all
over. but Anderson took three puts.
On the twenty-frst hole Gwyer's ball
jumped the ditch on the drive, ard he
was still short on his second. Ander-
son overplaycd, and the best either
could DO was 10 get the green IN three.
Gwyer then missed short putt and
Anderson took the match.

read since the year. Of tie Big Wind.
~ Briefly, "Contrabnnd" Is a recital OF
the adventures Of a young man who
tries to sneak a ship load Of copper
across the ocean into Germany few
days after war was declared.
OF course there's girl in the story
a wonderful girl with tender eyes
and soft hair and grace and charm and
sweetness and courage. If it hadn't
been for her, The hero would have left
the ship, crew, copper and Germany

Charlotte, Mich.-The fine new

on both gables, the barn being about
so feet in height.
Mr.. Klp1inger was standing in the
barn at the time, and the stable doors,
within two feet of him, were slivered
and he was stunned, but not hurt by
the shock. The fact that he was wear
ing rubber boots probably saved him
from instant death.
The barn fortunately did not catch
