Island Team
In Cleanup.
On Golf Links
South Jersey Women Beaten
at Baltusrol; Westchester
Wins at W y k a gy l,

Judging by the way the Long Island
Staten Island team Cleaned up" again
in the sectional team competition YES
terday, number Of the players on that
combination will be found representing
the Women's Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation in the inter-city matches for
the Griscom Cup.
Long Island defeated South Jersey at
Baltusrol, ~ to 8. That made three
straight successes for the first named,
the only team that has a clean slate.
In the other ,iatch Westchester at
Wykagyl defeated North Jersey, % to A.
Because most of the women on the
South Jersey team were familiar with
expected a close match and possibly
defeat for Long Island. Miss Marion
Hollins, metropolitan champion in 1918,
had hard time defeating Mrs.
Thomas Hucknall, the Forest Hill
woman who won the Red Cross tourna-
ment at Apawamis last summer
Going out, Miss Hollins stood up,
but Mrs. Hucknall almost discounted
that lead on the homeward journey. The
Long Island player finally finished
up, and scored point
Mrs. G. NJ Heckscher, of Piping
Rock, who as Miss Louise Vanderhocf
was runner-up in metropolitan
championship in 1908, played in old
time form against Mrs. Fowler, for
merly Miss Mabel Higgins. 1t was
good golf all the way round, Mrs.
Heckscher finally winning by 2 up and
to play. She won points. Another
decisive winner for Long Island was
Mrs. j. Z. Davis. On the other hand,
Mrs. S. P. Nash, Mrs. N. P. Rogers,
Miss K. Bowman and Miss M. Wolf
all scored two points for South Jersey
The Wcstchester women were at
their best, ten of the twelve members
of the team scoring. One of the ex-
ceptions, however, was Mrs. M. D.
Paterson, the Women's Eastern Golf
Association president, who had the
closest kind of a match with Mrs. A. S.
Rossin, one of the Century leaders.
Mrs. Paterson, playing in something
like the form of years ago, especially
on the green, finally scored a point for
her side. The other New Jersey rep
resentative to win was Mrs. c. F. Uebe-
lacker, chief executive of the Women's
Golf Association. The
woman scored three points
over Miss Constance Robertson.
With the finish of the series which
has been in progress for the last three
weeks, Long Island Staten Island leads
II,
feats, while Westchester comes second
with two won and one lost South Jer-
sey won one and lost two, and North
Jersey lost all three.

Bible SAVES A
SOLDIERS LIFE
Marion Punckiewiez Escapes Death
From Shell by Holy Book in
Pocket Over Heart.

The bible which Marion Punkie-
wiez, 1112 Fourth avenue, Moline,
had placed in his pocket directly
over his heart, just before march
ing into no mans land, saved him
from going west.
1t was Oct. 9, 1918, in the battle
of Verdun, that high explosive
shell struck the trench in which
Punkiewiez was standing. The
trench was nothing more than a lit
tie hole scooped out large enough
to hold five men grouped together.
They were a detachment of the re-
placement unit which had been
pushed into an advanced trench in
the Verdun drive.
Machine gun bullets were whiZ-
zing overhead and the Germans
were making some crack shots. The
five men couped in the trench wait
ed summons any minute to go eth.
er to blighty or west. Suddenly the
word came-a high explosive threw
three unconscious. The other two
were killed. From that time Punkie-
wiez knew practically nothing.
Once in a while he realized and felt
the warmth of the flowing blood on
his body.
He awoke some time later in a
base hospital. An officer had picked
him up five hours after the sheet
had made its visit. The two other
injured comrades lay near him. On
table on the other side were four
shattered articles-the bible, In

Mayor McConochie is peeved. He
refuses to have anything toido with
newspapers, now or hereafter.
A local newspaper, not The Argus
printed something about the city s
affairs which the mayor takes cx-
ception to and the lid has been put
on the sources of news that the ex-
ecutive controls.

McConochie stated when an Argus
representative questioned with re-
gard to a matter that was of inter-
est to every citizen in Rock Island.
Nothing doing" he said further
when another question was put to
him.
The matter which aroused the
mayors i'll will did not directly in
volve him or his department and the
purported facts printed did not
come from him. And yet he is the
only one to refuse the usual CO.
operation with the press. Even the
commissioner whose department
was concerned declines to be a
party to the newspaper boycott and
the others indicated they would
continue diplomatic relations.

look in your face-dull eyes with mn
sparkle. Your doctorwill tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.

in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet alwayseffective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed byeveryone, bytoning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

ago today by The Argus.
Z There are as many more still

office, stated today.

that returned soldier is wanted.

People are again urged to re-

practically every trade are at the

supplied.
1t makes no difference what kind
