RAISE $4,000 FOR
RED CROSS AT DEAL
Nichols and Reid Beat DOYLE
and Donaldson i'm Four Ball
Golf Match.

! Eastern records were broken in tho
way of Red Cross donations at the pro.
fessional four ball match on the links OF
the Deal Golf Club Yesterday afternoon
when more than $4,000 was contrib
uted. On that occasion Wilfrid Reid
, and Gil Nichols defeated Jim Donald
son and Pat Doyle by UP and | to
play.
In their plan for raising money the
Deal officials introduced several novel;
ties For instance, II was stated that
the man who bid the highest for the
caddie privileges would also have the
right to name the flag that was TO go
with his favorite pro" James b. Re-
gan was the highest first bidder his
amount being $1,000. He chose Pat
Doyle and the American Flag. Follow
Ing this A. T. Heard bid $l.1O0 for Gil
Nichols and the English flag was Sc
lected. Francis J. Arend. president of
the Deal club, bid $1,000 for Jimmy
Donaldson, and then j. T. Wildwood put
the others In the shade by Offering 81 500
for W!lfrid Reid.
They auctioned Off the fore caddie priv
ileges the first three bringing $500 each
and for good measure the fourth was
run up to an even $1,000. 1t was then
decided that. some men were needed as
for the privileges. The first three scorers
each paid $500 and the fourth man, not
to be outdone, bid an even $1,000 Be
fore the start a. painting was offered by
one Of the members, and this was sold
for 5000. whereupon the highest bidder
promptly donated the picture back to the
club.
Charles w. Billings, who has -four
ishing farm. brought over bushel Of
potatoes OF which he was justly proud.
They looked so good to the golfers that
they were sold for $500. Mrs. Percy
Kendall sent over six "brollers'' from
price that would have made any food
profteer green with envy. the total for
the half dozen being $3.50
The bidders were given q rest for a
while to watch the players. but when
the halfway house was reached, a set Of
clubs was produced which had been Of
fered by Doyle. They were promptly
sold for 5000. and with such little effort
that the officials fastened to obtain six
other sets which were sold in rapid sue
cession for $500. $3.50. $500, $3.50. 5000
and 5000. There was also a patent put
ter devised by f. V. Hartford which
sold for 800
SO far as the match went, the gallery
saw good golf from start to finish. All
four of the pros" hit long balls, the
same as when they met two weeks ago
at Norwood. 1t was rare that both OF
the partners on either side would be off
At any one hole. and frequently team
mates would both win in par figures or
better.

of North Fismes proved difficult. and

the intention Of making 1t untenable.
With that small point once cleared.
the line would run uninterrupted
toward the east.
The Germans have had strong ma
chine-gun positions in Fismes and 70

the American determination not to at
tempt occupation by the infantry, but
to destroy the enemy with artillery.

the silencing of enemy gunfire from his
lighter artillery positions is an evidence
of the accuracy of the American ar
tillery and the destruction of various
German machine-gun positions has been
obvious.
