3 QUAKERS ADVANCE
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

Shawnee. on the Delaware, Oct. 2.
THERE'S a pyschic bird lowering
over this place. He goes up in an
airplane and throws psychics all over
the place, drops the old pooh -pah blue
green spirit bombs on the play for the
women's golf championship now going
forward and in general is just naturally
throwing razzlc dazzle havoc. He says
this himself.
Doc" Delroy is his name. He ad-
mits he's good. He's president of some
kind of a new thought psychic outfit
in New York. He says all this psychic
and spirits stuff one sees on the stage
is bunk. But he himself will psychic
anybody, anywhere. He says he never
played golf and admits he doesn't know
anything about it. But it's all wrong.
He would revolutionize the game.
RULES all wrong" says he of the
spirit world. ''In the match play they
ought to even it up by having those
with the same scores play each other.
The one that gets licked ought to be
docked 10 per cent or something, how
ever you play it, go ahead and keep on
till somebody wins" The professor
threw couple of un -psychical words
into the argument and proceeded.
"Jh, You Golf
"In baseball fellow isn't sent home
because he falls on his nose in the
way to first base. lie stays in the
game. Same in football. Golf, no.
Pon't know much about it but some
ching ought to be done"
This didn't get past much, so the
learned professor of psychics turned to
card games. Same society stuff as
golf. A fellow with four aces might
make a slam and then he gets honors,
too. Oughta give EN- to the other fell
low"
We referred to poker. ''If a player
gets flush should the opponent. get
the pot?" we asked politely, but the
professor was in another psychic trance
and the game went on.
Delroy first spilled his stuff at lee
ture on the eve of the women's play
here. They asked him who was going
to win the golf tournament but the
spirits wouldn't tell. Then some OF
the more superstitious players wanted
him to heave them "a thought" the
next day in the links to pull them
through n match and shroud the oppo
nent in losing psychical jinx.
Works in Air
They came to his separately. The
crony of the spirit world promised each
as fee return. He couldn't work il
from the hotel veranda here, so he got
in the Water Gap airplane and went ur
over the play. The DOC" threw 0
spasm in the plane over the clubhouse
Every time he spotted customer far
below he chucked her a thought and
foozled her opponent with a wave OF
hokus pokus. He admits this.
He came back to earth and rubbed
his hands before the scoreboard. He
claims all his customers won. He
couldn't Just call them by name, but he
knows who they are, he says.
"Of course spirits could win a game
of golf" said the doc" We thought
of the nineteenth hole as is. No hope
puI IL lnt pSNNuNS VI thS
game that puts on the real stuff. Every
thing is psychics around here" as
though to hear this out six the psychic
cupola the winding stairway makes in
Buckwood Inn to the parlor below.
Interruptions
Some of the girl golfers. supposed to
have retired, evidently were having a
slight rough house on the fifth floor.
The professor was not annoyed. He
evidently was used to these Interrupt
tioIs.
II stood on the porch the other day.
threw thought to one of the players, -
continued the professor, land she laid
one dead at the third. Not bad. eh
I can make 'em sink putt. think a
sink and they sink the think. Absurd
ly simple"
Doc Delroy admits he helped Miss
Stirling beat Miss Hollins yesterday.
"Slip clip, clip clip" was his mystic
formula thought wave and she did, he
says.
He says the palm of Miss Stirling
the champion, is the best he has read
here. "She has no. faults" he said
without going into detail about driving
and putting.
Say we said. couldn't you throw
us thought? Lost ten bets yester
day
