years about Washington and probably
one of the best in the country. yester-
day won the club golf championship

Club. defeating Charles H. Doing. jr..
and in the final round.
Truett won the championship by
playing steady golf Of the real titular
kind, and would have been a hard
opponent to beat for any one yester-
day. His cards of IS and 70 for total
of 1856 over the soft, slow course In

though Doing at one time was within
striking distance, Truett did not fall
ter and pulled through whenever it
appeared as if he were slipping. Doing
is one of the most determined players
in the club and any slip on the part
of his opponent for a few holes would
have been very likely to have re-
versed the decision. Truett went out

New tees will be built before real
cold weather sets in on several of the
holes at the Chevy Chase Club. Players
will drive on the first hole from a tee
about twenty yards behind the present
tee and the hole will thus automati-
cally become one of rather testing
character-that is, as two-shot
proposition.
A new tee at the third hole will be
built just to the north of the little
branch that runs between the second
green and the present tee and will
make the hole just a little longer, but
not quite SO long as it was two years
ago. when 1t took two full wooden
shots and a pitch to get home. The
fourth hole has caused a good deal of
conjecture. 1t is conceded that the
hole as it stands at present is a good

Clarence Rowland Picked Kerr.

1t was the evening of the second
game. and the base ball world had
been treated to a couple of surprises
The Cincinnati Reds had twice beat
en- the Chicago White Sox, and both
times in a decisive manner. In the
opening game the Reds had knocked
the supposedly invincible Cicotte out
of the box, while in the second game
the crafty Williams had been van
pushed. largely because of his own
wildness. Manager Gleason Of the
White Sox was hard pressed from
pitching standpoint. Every one was
wondering whom he would work in
the third game. to be played at Chica-
cote back, others thought Bill James
might be given a chance. while others
were inclined to believe possibly
Gleason had Red Faber under cover
as a surprise.
All others felt Dick Kerr would draw
the assignment of trimming the Reds
and putting the SoX back in the run
nins 1t was no small job to ask any
one TO turn back the aggressive and
confident Reds.
While Gstenig to a lot of lobby gos-
sip about how a ball club should be
maaged, I bumped into Clarence Row
land, former manager of the chicago
White Sox. Last year Rowland hano-
led the Milwaukee club.
Whom will Gleason work tomor-
row. asked Rowland.
Cant see how he can consider any
one but Kerr" 1 replied.
This fellow Kerr will just apout
beat them" answered Rowland. Tor
he is the type of pitcher to bother the
Reds, while nothing bothers him. He
is right at home when the situation IA
highest, and / look for him to come
through with a whale of a game.
That Rowland had the right dope
was proved the following day. when
Kerr beat the Reds to 0, and later
to in ten innings.

not allow such an opportunity. and
his steadiness proved in the end the
deciding factor in the match.
Two up at the turn in the thirty-six-
hole final, Truett started out in the
afternoon with a SO for the first
nine holes and was up on his
opponent. All through the final round
he outputted Doing, usually one of
the best putters in the club, and al
though the latter was usually in front
from the tee. Truett more than made
up for his comparatively short tee
shots with splendid putting. Doing
won the tenth hole in the afternoon
and by annexing the eleventh became
only down again. He lost the short
twelfth, however, when Truett ran
down a good putt for 3. and lost the
thirteenth to n ). Truett failed to
reach the green on the fourteenth and
Doing won the hole with a par B, win
ming the fifteenth with a par 4, leav-
ing him down and to go. The six
teenth was halved in and the end
came on the seventh with a half in A.
The winner will have his name en-
graved on the Joseph Tabor Johnson

The wood FIRE In the open crate. The
quiet hour OF n wintry evening. Who
does not revel In the combination? The
pictures in the flames. The musings
as the fire crackles, the only sound in
the stiffness.
Ancients In Persia, In other lands
and times, worshiped fire. 1t was the
symbol of purity. puriicatlon. Poets
have found the fire on the hearth an
inspiration. Painters have sFn pic
lures in the glowing Goals. We see
them, too, In the silence of the evening
time.
But the wood fire In the open crate
is more than symbol of purity, more
than o creature comfort, more than Il
sign Of personal prosperity, more than
a setting for dream pictures. It's
symbol of action. It's picture of
ambition. It's an incltement to en-
deavor.
The flames are never still while
there's material to reach. Reaching,
reaching, grasping, keeping, never con-
tent, never idle. Action! That's what
the wood fire In the open crate is say
Ing.
The flames leap higher and higher
so long as there is fuel ID feed them.
When the fuel is consumed the flames
wlther and die.
Ambition must be fed. That's the
lesson Of the fire. You can't get the
fire of ambition to burn in the work
er's brain to energize his hand unless
1t is fed, and fed again. Take away
incentive, make labor ineffective, and
the laborer's ambition dies. And what
is a man without ambition? An ak
without an edge.-Milwaukee Journal.
