Ye go1fing enthusiast is hardy bird and difficult to discourage. As a rule, rain or shine, wind or snow, he betakes himself in leisure moments to his favorite links and wallops the ball But just now that formidable combination of old St. Swithin and Jupiter Pluvius, hustlng along in par figures, is sweeping local courses com pletely clear of all contestants. Fan fests indoors are replacing for the time being walloping activities from the tees and through the fatrways.

Jim Barnes shoots O 67 at Shaw nee Francis Ouimet plays Winches- ter near Boston in the almost incred- ille figure of 66.

 The same thing holds good in Providence. The Grays are a good combination and perhaps with the incirsicn of our own Americans, they constitute the strongest nine on the circuit. They are not an amateur lot of ball players They are putting up wonderful exhibitions. but Providence far1s fo not want Eastern League ball.

He looked good in the gym and wor<s out finely with his spar ring partners but New York man agers could not get work for hIrn. so he came to Bridgeport and placed himself under the management of Sam Driver.

American League.

Although it is announced that at the International Olympic games scheduled for 1920 in Antwerp there will be no Marathon run on the pro- gram, there is no intention thus far on the part of American promoters to cut this popular event from their scheuules. One of the most interest ing of athletic contests was the re- cent ~"double Marathon" conducted by the Knights of Columbus from Chateau -Thferry to Paris, which was won by Lynch of Newark.
 A player good enough to step out and smash the record of a course other than his own, yet without a handicap either in his district asso- citation or even in his own club is a rather peculiar case. Yet this is the state of affairs that obtained with Jess Sweetser at Apawamis last week. When he came to enter the IS holes medal play handicap in the afternoon the handicap committee was somewhat up a tree as to just what allowance he deserved. He stated that he didn't even have a rating at his home club Ardsley, whereas his ascent has been so rapid that he had been entirely overlooked

" HERE is one lightweight in this 1 country that the best are evad- ing. And his name happens to be Eddie F'itzsimmons. He's not a sec ond Stanley Ketchel or an abbreviat- ed John L. Sullivan. He's just a plain fighting boxer. And that means lot particularly to the supposedly bet ter classed lightweights who have been duckinE him.
 The other day the writer informed the reader that Joe Lynch of New York was the most feared lad in the featherweight class. That is SO. But while Lynch is feared, there are those who dare meet him. But with Fitzsirnrnous it is an entirely different case; they refuse to have anything to do with him.
 Louis BoE&sh Of this city was of fered several matches with Fitz- simmons, but he never cared for any of his game. Ed6ie's manager had 1t all arranged for a RoCash Eftzsin- mons match in New York, but the 1ocalite wisely stayed clear of the New Yorker. The same happened to Eddie tn the case of Lew Tendler.

Cleveland. ohio, July 2S-Excellent golf was played yesterday in practice over the 6,26O-yard course of the Mayfield Country Club by the 140 en- trants for the Western open golf championship, the chief honors going to CHI Nichols of New York, who scored a par 70. including an eagle one on the 2OO-yard thirteenth hole. Driving on a high parapet tee to a narrow gulch green surrounded by yawning bunkers, the veteran dropped a beautiful iron shot just short of the cup and the ball trickled in.

The first chance for a repetition of the famous Davis Cup match in 1914 between Norman F. Brookes and Maurice P. Mclaughlin, which has. been the criterion for tennis during the last five years. seems likely to come at Newport the week of Aug. 4. As the Australian team, which in cludes, besides Brookes, Gerald L. Patterson, winner of the English championship, Randolph Jycett and R. V. Thomas, will land about Aug. l, they will hardly have an oppor- tunity to play in a tournament before the weel- of the fourth. It is possi- ble that they may take part in an exhibition at the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club, but this cannot be determined before they ar rive.

ID AIN IS DOING considerable N damage to the baseball cards these days Particularly is this so in Now York where the Giants and Reds are scheduled and have been scheduled for the past few days to take part in what gave promise to be the most sensational championship series in the history of the National League. But what little hope there was of something real big happening has not been abandoned because of the unwelcome part played by old Man Pluv. That's enough for the fans viewpoint
 To the maGnate this rain has been just what Gen Sherman said war was, for 1t has cost the Giants quite a neat fortune. There were in the neighborhood of 10000 fans waiting at the Polo Grounds the other day despite the rain Cwho said baseball has not come back?) But these fans were disappointed for the condition of the diamond made 1t impossible to play. What is true of New York is true of other cities hit by the rain.

SOME PACKERS MADE MONEY BY
HOLDING INFERIOR 1909 LEAF

made here in Lancaster, mostly for
distribution by large Philadelphia
houses and of these and OF trade con-
ditions in the cigar-making industry,
more will be said later on.
The heart of the whole matter Is
quality Of leaf and the consumptive
demand for cigars. AS many OF our
Ohio friends may wish to see samples
Of all the leaf grown in this district
we are shipping the first lot Of samples
today. These may be seen at The
Palladium office at your convenience.
We may state as the conclusion OF
our remarks with reference to the 1909
crop in this county that it ruined many
local packers and set growers back
for a long time. 1t really would not
burn. 1t charred, and men who load
ed up on this crop found 1t coming
back on their hands. The strong con-
Germs who carried it clear up to war
days finally got rid of it at from s
cents to 20 cents and actually made
money after all those years. 1t was
sorted and regarded and it was to-
bacco, and everything In the line
went" when the allies got busy. The
leaf was used as chewing scrap, in
the ground form, and for cheap cigars
and stogies, presumably.
Did Tobacco Win the War?
With reference to the tobacco, CT
CARS and cigarettes supplied our SOL
diers, also distributed by our allies.
Preston Herbert. chief Of the tobacco
section at Washington, said in re-
cent report:
"At the very outset l wish to de-
clare as a result of what / learned in
France, that in my opinion the war
could not have been won without to-
bacco any more than 1t could have
been won without food" Mr.. Herbert
further states that despite contrary
reports, there were no cases where
the health of the men was impaired by
tobacco"
Cigars were sold by the box at the
original cost price to the government
but tobacco was made part Of tho
general ration and was usually Issued
twice a week. The allies also receiv-
ed lot of tobacco and cigars.
Mr.. Herbert's figures which follow
are interesting: From Jan. 1. 1918.
to March /, 1919. approximately $780,
100000 cigarettes were requisitioned
for France and about 200,0O0,O00
cigars. About 3O,000.000 pounds Of
chewing and smoking tobacco were
shipped to France during the same
period. These figures do not include
Y. M. C. A, Red Cross, K. Of C. and
receipts from various newspaper and
other tobacco funds in this country.
Total amount expended by the gov
eminent from Jan. 1, 1918 to March
1, 1919, about s56,000.000. At this
writing 90,OOO,0OO cigarettes. 100000
cigars and 100000 pounds OF chewing
tobacco is being shipped to Germany.
The smoking tobacco for our troops in
Germany is now being shipped from
the stock in France
