Bowen kindly pressed a dime into the
sod and nodded his partner thru.
One of the caddies is responsible for
the statement that during a wait at
one tee the doctor wanted match.
Gotta match. LOveland ?" he in
quired in company confidence.
Surely" he answered.
Thanks" he said as he struck the
match on the face of his driver.
At the eighth tee of the first round
Doctor Bowen asked one of the cad
dies how the game stood. The cad
dies were keeping the score.
Doctor Loveland is two up on you
the caddy informed.
, Got a chance to halve you, Doc"
said Doctor Bowen.
But he received no answer from the
stupid ball.
Bowen won the eighth hole. Love-
land was one up.
Now for an even match" was the
threat
The two balls lay on the ninth green
in three. The Loveland shot was a
long putt, and it dropped in the cup in
four.
-" growled Doctor Bowen.
His own putt was only a yard-and
he missed it.
Loveland had won the ball.
When Doctor Loveland returned
from his trip he found the two score

J. c. (Jake) Mohler has for years
been one of the steadiest golfers in the

Not long ago Jake had a putting

marvellous, grew wretched.
For week or so this kept up. Then

and hysteric laughter of his friends"
"Wheredi go. caddy?" yelled the
perfect two-forty.
The caddy also was doubled with
glee.
''wheredi go. I tell you?" Mitchell
demanded again.
The caddy only shook his head. He
couldn't command word.
When the atmosphere had cleared
the colonel found the ball resting
peacefully on the ground comforta bly,
shaded by the white clad stomach
above.
He had nipped It, given It back

rect1y back of the tee.

A player at the Country club the
other day drove a ball into a bug hunt

one colored caddy remarked as he hid

Their rivalry, however. reached the
climax in golf recently when Doctor
Loveland was out of town. Doctor
Bowen decided they must have a
match, so he went to the Country club
and hired two caddies.
The ball you watch belongs to Doc
tor Loveland," he instructed one
caddy. To the other he said, THE ball
you watch belongs to me-"
So Doctor Bowen drove off the first
tee granting his absent partner the
honor.
On thru the game he whaled away
at both balls. The ball that was wide

thing akin to the practice of scales
by a musician. Muscles must be so
trained by intelligent repetition that
the power to make the correct shot
becomes largely automatic.
When a man plays in a match the
fighting. rather than the artistic in
stinct is uppermost and he is tempted
to do many an unorthodox thing in
order to gain a temporary advantage.
When this becomes habitual the wrong
instinct results in having no settled

shot. The fmpulsive player who trusts
to the inspiration of the moment may
rise to great heights. but alas! he falls
also to great depths.
