American Women-Awake!

The casualty lists are coming in
long lists of our own men
wounded, yet very few Of the local
Red Cross workshops where surgi-
cal dressing are being made for
our army, have enough workers to
use the equipment to greatest adj
vantage. There are hundreds Of
women who do work regularly, de-
votedly. There are thousands
more, who as yet cannot spare time
from dressmakers, bridge and the
matinee.
One group of women suggested
that they would work in the morn
ing, if the tables could be cleared
from bridge in the afternoon. Can
not our women realize that we are
at war and that half-hearted effort
will never win the war? We must
work, give, pray to our uttermost

HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
GREAT SUCCESS
One Hundred Forty Dollars
Realized

The play, "E0eryyouth," present
ed by pupils Of the High School
last Friday evening, under the di-
rection of Miss Ethel Bruebaker,
was splendid success. One hun
dred forty dollars was realized for
the benefit of the Athletic Associa-
ton. Congratulations are due the
director and every member Of the
cast on the splendid production.
The characters played their parts
with an ease and finish that made
it hard to believe for many this
was first appearance. The play
itself, fantasy, representing the
struggle between the good and
evil in Everyyouth's life, proved
exceedingly popular. Scene one
presents Everyyouth, clerk in
Somebody's office, who arrives at
the office five minutes late to find
Work and Happiness, the steno-
grapher, there before him. Pleas
ure, a friend to Everyyouth, and
Reason, still better friend ap-
pear. Care enters, also, but is
driven away by Work. When
Everyyouth and Work disagree,
Happiness is compelled to depart.
Pleasure returns with his wiles to
draw Everyyouth away from Work.
In Scene two, one month has elaps-
ed. A new stenographer, Tempta-
ton, and her two attendants. Con-
ceit and Vanity, have replaced Hap
piness in Somebody's office; a COM
bination not agreeable to Work
Truth, very frank fellow, enters
to say aloud what some folks are
afraid to intimate. Work leaves to
keep an engagement with Happi-
ness; and Everyyouth, spurning
Reason. allows himself to be drawn
away by Temptation. In Scene
three, several months later, Care
is now Everyyouth's constant com.
panion. But new girl, Love, has
replaced the three former office as
sistants. Care points out that by
dipping into Somebody's gold
Everyyouth can rid himself OF
Care forever. Temptation and hel
companions return to add theil
wiles and to try their power!
against the warnings of Trouble
of Truth, and of Reason, whose
authority are supplemented by thu
weight of Work, Happiness, ant
Love.
The cast follows: Everyyouth

EUnuS and Jones Win Fine
Red Cross Golf Match

A gallery Of about 1000 golf enthu-
siasts followed the fourball match
over the Baltusrol links yesterday, in
which Chick Evans. Of Chicago, and
Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, defeated Os-
valid Kirkby, Of Englewood and Max
Marston, of Baltusrol, over eighteen
holes, by 2 up.
Prior to the start the caddy privi-
leges were auctioned off, and every
person who bid had to pay the diff
ference between his bid and the
amount of the last bidder. so that over
500 was raised for the Red Cross in
this way.
In fact, Charley Smith was the only
real thoroughbred sport in the crowd,
as he bought the whole four caddy
privileges, paying $3.50 for Chick
Evans, $50 for Bobby Jones, 800 for
Oswald Kirkby and $500 for Max Mars
ton, and topped it off by bidding in the
bag of clubs at $50.
Bobby Jones was the first to drive
off. and he promptly plunked his ball
into a trap on the right side Of the
course right up against the face OF the
bunker. The hole is 446 yards long.
The other three all got long. straight
drives down the centre Of the course.
Jones surprised the great gallery by
playing his mdiron out of the trap on
to the green about fifteen feet from
the hole. The other three were also on
the green in 2, but Evans and Kirkby
we're the more successful in putting
and halved the hole in a. Jones and
Marston getting down in par. s.
The second hole Of $50 yards was
we'll played and was halved in par by
all but .Marston, who required one
more. The short third was won IN par
of by Evans, the other three each
taking 4.
The fourth hole Of 500 yards was a
bad ona for both Exana aud Kiv*A~
New-York tribune., 1918-09-15

Evans was bunkered on his second shot
and took for the hole. Kirkby drove
into a trap on the right of the fair
green and after playing out of that
trap into another picked up. Jones and
Marston. however, fought it out and
halved the hole in par 5.
Both Jones and Evans got three on
the fifth hole, while the other two were
down in par i. They then led by 2 up
and the crowd were seeing great golf.
The sixth hole was haaved in par by
and Jones picking up after driving into
the trees and hitting a tree playing out.
The seventh hole of 562 yards was
won by Kirkby and Marston in par,
with their rivals taking one more Play
ing the eighth Kirkby drove into IN
bunker and picked up, while the hole was
halved in par By Evans and Marston.
They were all on the ninth green
from the tee, and each in turn missed

led by up at the turn, with best ball
of 36'to 81
Evans won the tenth hole in the par
of 4, while Jones and kirkby halved

Stables of Sanford, Widener
and Cochran Under Ham
mer at Belmont Park

Three consignments of real blue
blood racing stock were put to the
hammer yesterday afternoon at the
Belmont Park race course, the stables
to supply the animals being those Of
John Sanford, Joseph L. Widener and
Clifford A. Cochran. The Sanford
string included seventeen of his horses
one in the entire lot. All those who
are keen on the bargain hunt were on
hand, and that several choice animals
went cheap would be but mild state
ment.
Top price Of the Sanford collection
and of the whole string disposed Of was
brought by Tippity Witchet, a three
year-old bay gelding Of fine quality,
which was knocked down to the
Brighton Stable for the sum Of $500
1t is safe to say that at any other time
this horse would be considered dirt
cheap for three 1mes that figure.
Only last fall, during the Pimlco
meet, Sanford paid 5000 for the geld
ing, in whose veins courses the speedi-
est and purest racing blood on earth.
He is by Broomstick out of the i'm
ported mare Lady Frivoles, and when it
is remembered that Broomstick was the
leading sire on this side of the water
for the seasons of 1913, 1914 and 1915,
as well as the sire of long list of big
winners, it is to be wondered that his
son was allowed to go so soft. On the
maternal side Tippity Witchet can
easily lay claim to the feetest strain
on the English turf.
Lady Frivoles can go back to Galopin,
through St. Simon, the latter being the
sultan of the royal stud under the late
King Edward VII. AS two-year-o old
this horse accounted for total Of
$4,000. and he is by no means through
with his racing career, as he is booked

Bezdck gave them a short drill in the
football tactics that made him the peer
OF the Pacific Coast coaches. Pending
the development of Penn. States re-
vised curriculum, incident to the estab-
lishment of the student army training
corps, the athletic authorities here in
tend to go ahead with their football
programme.
No word has come to them from the
War Department discouraging the con-
tinuance Of the sport, and football will
be played at Penn. State unless it is
found 10 conflict with tie governments
military and collegiate schedule. Bez-
dek advocated starting the football
season, at least, with its future to be
determined by the amount Of time that
can be given to it after the college
work starts, September 25
