You can learn more from the adver-
hsements in your daily newspaper
than you could in weeks spent in
visiting stores, shops and Offices.
IF you did not read the advertise
ments, you might go to a store and
come home again and never learn
about some new goods in that store
that would interest you. But the
storekeeper knows and he pub
fishes the news in an advertisement
for you to read.
IF you did not read advertisements,
you might go on purchasing one
article for years when new and
better article has come to take its
place.
1t pays to keep in touch with the
business world by reading adver-
tisements.

Connie Doyle's easy win over the

through Pell by a score Of 6-3, 6-2,
yesterday with such ease as to make
the experts sit up and take notice.

OUIMET CONCEDED
PALM BY VICTORY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 21.-The
golfing world is today willing to con-
cede to Francis Ouimet, the Wood
lawn player, Of Massachusetts, the
honor OF being one of the greatest
experts, in the country. a After walt
ing FIVE years for chance to play
against Chick" Evans, open and
amateur champion OF 1916, the last
year in which both titles were de-
cided, Ouimet came through with a
L up win over the Chicago player.
Ouimet repeated his triumph Of 1914
when Ray and Vardon were defeated.
Ouimet has been i'll. He ran a high
temperature for several days. He
played through the qualifying round
Saturday and the first days qualify
ing play at thirty-six holes Monday
when he should have been in bed.
Ouimet defeated Cleary in the first
round and then opposed Evans yes
terday. The Massachusetts, man gave
one Of the greatest exhibitions
ever seen despite Evans plucky fight
and landed the match ! up at the
home hole. Ouimet's medal score was
$50 and Evans 151.
Bettered Qualifying Score.
James Manion's qualifying round
was l5S in the triple tie Of Monday.
Ouimets card was but six over par
and he had bad going on several oc-
casions when he shot skies.
An analysis Of Ouimets score shows
that his weakened condition was re-
sponsible for a slackening off in the
second and fourth rounds. In the
SO, which was one under par. In the
afternoon, somewhat freshened, he
shot 34, going out, or three under par
