NEWsY GOLF NOTES.

Golfers interested IN the Mountain
Lake proposition in Florida are plan
ming to go there shortly. This is one
of the newest golfng enterprises in
that section and at present the course
consists of nine holes. 1t is the inten-
ton of the club officials to increase
this to a full circuit before spring. c.
w. Singleton, the Oakland professional.
was in charge of the course last win
ter when many Philadelphia devotees
of the game enjoyed many beneficial
hours at the resort course.
Several matches for war funds have
been enjoyed on the Pacific coast late
. ly. One of these brought together
Jack Neville, former Pacific northwest
champion, now a sergeant in the Army,
and Ernie Martin, Tacoma Country and
Golf Club professional, against Dixie"
Fleager, present northwest titleholder.
and Bob tombstone, Seattle Golf Club
professional Last named pair finish
ed up in the morning and up at
thirty-Six holes.
No matter what Francis Ouimet does
after his discharge from the Army, be
will not return to the sporting goods
business. Francis has decided, accord
ing to friends. either to go into the in
Surance business or assist his father
in the contracting business. Ouimet
has not as yet fully determined
whether he will make trip south this
winter.
! Willie Park, an architect widely
known throughout the east, recently
submitted a comprehensive plan for
the betterment of the Toronto Hunt
Club links and work on the improve
ment is now well under way. More
and more the hunt clubs throughout
Canada are devoting more attention
to golf. The London Hunt Club last
year enlarged it's course from nine
holes to eighteen while a few seasons
ago the Winnipeg Hunt Club install
ed links which has received many
concentrations from players.
One of the surprising things in the
game of golf, according to Charles
Evans. national amateur and open
champion, is the number of players
who seem to doubt the wisdom of en-
| ploying professionals at clubs and
public courses. He believes it is high
! ly essential to the development of the
game that any club of any pretense at
all and every public course should
| have a competent professional avail
able. The professionals have rendered
| not only golf, but the public in gene
raj a big service, because through
| them the interest literally of thou
sands of men and women has been
| developed in the game with great
| benefit to health.

Little Given to Press.

No representatives Of newspapers
are allowed at the graduate managers
! meeting, and about all that has ever
been given out following the affairs
has been the names of those present
and the colleges they represented. H.
G. Pender of Dartmouth is head of
| the Graduate Managers Association.
Most of the discussion at the meet
| ing of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association is sure to center
around intramural sports, and just
how they can best be applied to
physical training in the colleges.
Athletics of this character have been
developed in the Army to a much
higher state of productiveness than
in the colleges. OF course, it is recog-
| nized that the situation with regard
to Army athletics is different from
that which exists in collegiate sports,
informal, probably will center on the
extent to which Army sports may
be made applicable to the colleges.
! Three Sessions Scheduled.
Formal addresses are to be given
in the morning session. During the
afternoon meeting there are to be
heard reports from representative of
the various districts and reports from
the committees that make the rules
for foot ball, basket ball. track and
field sports, swimming. water polo.
etc. At night the meeting is to be
given over almost entirely to in
formal talks about the situations that
have developed in different colleges
and how the many widely separated
problems have been met.
Everything done by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association is of
an advisory nature. The organiza-
ton is not in the least legislative in
character, though it's recommended
tons have lot of weight. In fact.
the body has grown to such an extent
that soon it may shape the general
policy of all athletics in colleges and
schools of the United States. 1t has
little to do with scholastic institu-
tions. but it is well recognized that
schools follow the lead of the higher
institutions in matters pertaining to
sports.

Due to the inadequacy of the present
rates, the Hot Springs exchange has
not earned q reasonable return upon
the investment Tor several years. Mr..
Garrett said. The increased cost Of
material and labor for the past few
years has been enormous while there
is every prospect of further Increases
with r well defined trend to a further
reduction Of the rate Of return.

Garrett that the increase in the cosr

in order that We might deal lairly
with our employees and properly
serve the public, and it is our desire
that we may make further increases
when our revenue viii permit. While
our investment and our operating ex-
penses have been rapidly increasing
our revenue is, and has been made
.quate to meet these conditions. This
is readily understood when it is stated
that our telephone rates have nOt
been changed for a number Of years
I'VE have an investment OF more

We have kept pace with the progress
of the scity but it Is only fair that
We should make a reasonable return
on our investment II is only in that
way that we can survive and meet
our obligations to the public How
ever the increased revenue from the
new rates will by no means increase
our return to what might be called a
reasonable return.
"The telephone rates have remained
stationary for the past few years
when almost all the other necessities
OF life have steadily increased and no
increase has been more pronounced
than the increase in the cost OF fur
nishing telephone service
There has been no increase in tel

GEN. FOCH'S SUCCESS
LARGER THAN ESTIMATED

LONDON, July 23.-The CORE
spondent OF the Daily Mail with the
French army says there is reason
10 believe that Gen. Foch's success
is going TO prove more damaging TO
the enemy than hitherto has been
assumed and that the number of
prisoners and guns captured large
ly exceeds the present estimates.
The correspondent cites that one
army corps returned their captured
guns as 30. whereas they actually
numbered so, and asserts that there
also is a great disparity in the cas-
ualties of the enemy and of the al
lies. He says the German killed
or wounded are extremely numer-
Gus and that in one case virtually
the whole of one battalion was
found dead on the ground in
wood i'm which they were taking
shelter. on the other hand. he de-
clares. the French and American
casualties during an attack were
less than half the number of pris-
Oners taken.

THEAT'ERS
AT THE AUDITORIUM.

After viewing Under the Yoke, -
the Theda Bara production shown
at the Auditori n yesterday and be-
ing repeated today, it is apparent
that in this. as in other of his
photoplays, William Fox has spared
10 expense. Hundreds of persons
were used to re-enact some of the
stirring war scenes that took place
in and about Manila during the early
days Of American occupation, and
the most painstaking study was nee
essary TO duplicate the tropical set
ting in which years ago American
fighting men carried the Flag of the
United States into the far Pacific.
The picture tells an absorbing story
Of the love Of a beautiful Spanish
heiress for an American officer. All
the exotic splendor OF the tropics,
the fierce love of a Spanish girl
for her sweetheart and the dashing
courage of this American army Off
Ger are shown.
one of those funny Fox sun

Her Price is the name of the

emphasizes the truism that the
