Learned Fault of Look

REAL SCOTCH STORY
By CHARLES (CHICKo EVANS, JR.

One OF my intimate friends Is making
d selection of humorous Incidents and
, anecdotes connected with golf. And Of
q number he told group of us. three
or four got particularly good laughs,
90 want to pass them along.
It seems that during the recent Lib
erty Loan drive a prominent Chicago
man came into the clubhouse wearing
. glum facial expression and a friend
inquired what was worrying him. He
said:
"Oh, I Just had a dosfight with n
man out there. He got to telling me
\ about how patriotic he was and told
I. me how large his subscription to the
Liberty Loan had been. I remarked to
him with some heat that he couldn't
claim patriotism on the grounds Of sub
scribing to the loan. and that II he
would tell how much he donated to the
Red Cross, the Y. NJ. c. A., etc, I would
be able to measure his patriotism. Yes,
] had n regular dogfght with that
man" His friend listened with amuse-
ment to the story and then dryly re-
marked. IT wouldn't call that n dog
fight with man, would call that a
manfght with a dog
Why President Looks Up
Another OF his stories had to do with
President Wilson's alibi for his high
scores. The Presidents explanation, 50
the story runs was that he learned his
golf when a professor at Princeton and
that his salary in those days was hardly
sufficient to Justify the expense of n
caddie. Inasmuch as golf balls cost
about as much as caddies. the then pro-
fessor was forced to make It practice
to look UP quickly before his shot was
really completed and obviously the re-
suit of this practice would ruin any
body's game. And so nowadays when
caddies are relatively cheaper, the old
habit still persists. Anyway, the Pres
dents alibl Is variation from the old
standbys.
Another Of the yarns was to the ef-
feet that a lady was playing with a
well-known philosopher and literary
light The lady was thoroughly alb
sorbed In the game. but apparently her
partners mind was wandering in alb
truse fields Of thought, for suddenly he
addressed to her the question. what
Is your scheme of life?' The lady with
her mind on the game replied, "Con-
sistently to hole my puts"
Can't Beat Canny Scot
But all of my friends stories were
not of this high-brow nature. He had
a good tale about a couple Of High
land friends who were playing match
for small sum of money. Evening
was coming on, the light was grow ng
dim and the score stood all even and
two to play. On the next tee it so hap
pened that both made poor drives into
the rough. While they were hunting for
their respective balls, Duncan, unable to
hnd his ball, had a canny Scotch
thought and quietly dropped another
ball down his trouser leg on to a good
lie Then he exclaimed that he had
found his ball. INA, na," cried Sandy
MacGreggor, beside himself with wrath
at the trickery, "Ye've ma found your
baa' for l have had it in my pocket
the last five meenutes."

pleasant time on the nineteenth hole.

TURF TROTTERS
MAKING PROGRESS
Seventy-one Added to 2:lO
Class This Year, Against
Sixty-one in 1917
MANY THREE.YEAR.OLDS

What splendid progress Is being made
by trotters is shown in the latest figures
which place the additions to the 210 list
this year at seventy-one to date. against
a total Of sixty-two in 1917. The latest
addition is Little Jack, that lowered the
record for four-year-old geldings to 200
on the half-mile track at Riverside,
Cal, this being a purely California-bred
trotter.
The real feature of the 2:10 list this
year Is the fact that It contains the
names of nineteen threc-year-olds, which
Is n bumper crop.
These colts with their sires and rec
Orls are aa follows.

them are by him, as against three by
Dillon ANworthy. his most formidable
rival at this time. But, in the matter of
dams there Is a difference, the distribu-
tion being wide and reaching into all
families. Among the nineteen colts
enumerated Axworthy and Dellini are the
sires of the dams of two each, while no
other stallion got the dam of more than
one. Sires of the dams Of the others are
Bingen. The Director General. Zombro,

stance Of Peter the Great all but
$6316 was won by his own get, his sons
not making much OF n showing thus far.
AS the total amount distributed in
the grand circuit was s471.742, these
two families with S139,67S won consid-
erably more than 25 per cent Of the
money.

simplifies the problem of the breeder.
