Here are some recent decisions sf ths
q. can caddie over sixteen MARS Of,
age compete as an amateur IN a club
competition"
\. 40 '
q. one Of the members Of our club Is
a manager Of a sporting goods store. and
consequently would seem TO be within
the letter Of the rule forbidding the
handling of golf supplies Certainlr.
however, he is not within the spirit. a.
his golf playing has had nothing what
ever to do with his employment. He IL
not good player, and to the best Of our
knowledge, never competes in any
events except the club competitions we
would like very much to permit this
member TO continue competing IN our
event if We can do so consistently with
our membership in the national body, t.
Therefore, the questions are:
one. Is he a professional within the
meaning Of the bylaws?
Two If so. can the club permit him
tu compete in tournaments limited
strictly to its own members without in-
jury to its standing as a member OF the
L. :. g. A.?
a. Upon your statement, he does not
violate the purpose or intent of ruling
No under this section, and therefore
there is no objection to his competing IN
tournaments confined strictly TO the
clubs own members
q. Is the manager Of a country clul
at which golf is a feature a professionalf
or AN amateur and can lie, after serving
his connection with a country club. join
a club and play in amateur events7 f3i
A. The manager of country club
does not necessarily forfeit his amateur
standing, and after severng his connec
ton with a country club may join ~,
] .Itrb nj In
ruling governing the standing OF an
amateur golfer would apply In this case
! ouly to a man using his proficiency for
| remuneration.

Ns Make Good Showing

The Athletics performance this after
noon was great surprise to local fans
for the team put up the most business
like opposition that the Yankees have
faced this season. The work of the in
field was flasher than that of the Yanks.
even though the results were not 20 sat
isfactory.
The Athletics feel pretty certain that
none Of the other Yankee pitchers can
deliver such fine exhibition as Love
did. and they expect to reach whichever
one of Huggns's recruits that faces them
this afternoon. Myers's brief sojourn on
the mound this afternoon gave him an
opportunity Of getting rid Of all the Wild
ness he seemed to possess, and he Is
pretty sure to be Connie MaCk's choice
this afternoon. One Of the fielding gems
yesterday was offered by Larry Gardner.
when he scooped up Millers bunt far
down the third-base line and chuCked
him out at first.

The truth Of it Is that the PhiIs have
had no pitching. Mayer was hammered
in the early innings and the same thing
happened to Prendergast We viii not
venture any prediction in case the hurl-
ing improves, save that the battles will
be much closer. That's pretty safe after

nearly every one was equipped with an

But the war work has hit the womCn's
matches hard. In one league alone, the

were forced to withdraw their teams
this year because the women are 50

MRS. HUDA ]. BALL.

Raven, Va.,- Oct. 28.-The epidem-
ic of influenza is still raging at Ra-
Won. Six new cases today. We have
had several very sad deaths. Several
mothers have been called from large
families of litte children. One of
the saddest Of these cases is the
death of Mrs. Hulda j. Ball, wife of
our townsma, G. w. Bah and her
little granddaughter, bright and
beautiful little girl 20 months old.
They were buried in the same cask-
ct, the baby resting in the arms of
its grandmother and as the friends
looked upon them for the last time,
many remarked that they looked as
tho they were asleep. They were
indeed asleep in their Savior's arms
The little baby's mother who died
about 18 months ago, gave her lit
tie infant to her mother, and said
she wanted her mother to always
keep it with her, and she asked God
that if her mother should be called
away that he would let her take the
baby with her, and true to her pray
,er, only an hour or so after Mrs
Ball passed away, the little baby's
spirit took its flight, and who knows
but that it's grandmother was still
lowering over its couch waiting fol
it to join her in the flight to Got
and mother.
Mrs. Ball was member of the
Methodist church and lived a beau.

TO PAY BOARD
OF TEACHERS
School Board Will Make Up Fol
Loss Occasioned by Closing
of the Schools on Account
of Influenza Epidemic.

The School Board, at its session on
Wednesday, decided to open the pub
schools on Monday next, and also to
pay the salaries of teachers, begin
ers, beginning November lst, and
further, to pay the board of all the
teachers who remained in Tazcwell
during the interim and the travel
ing expenses of those teachers who
went home. This final action of the
Board seems to meet general ap-
proval. There WAS strong senti-
ment in the town to pay the salaries
of the teachers right along, for the
loss, inasmuch, it was argued, as
the teachers were in no wise rcspon-
sible for the closing. On the other
hand, it was stated that neither were
the people or the Board responsible,
and that all parties should be, will
ing to bear their share of the bur
dens. And SO, compromise was
reached as stated.
In another column will be found
the proclamation of the Board of
Health opening the churches next
Sunday and after that all public plac-
eS of meeting.
