athletes on Audubon Avenue, and with
the warning: "Get ready" Major
General Alexander fired the gun that
sent the field off in a wild scramble
for the lead. Speeding back of the
official cars, the pacing position
changed frequently, but at the one
mile point Veteran John Costello,
Paulist Athletic Club, WAS in the van.
He was closely followed by Pores,
Bohland, Organ. Hcnigan and Ky
ronen.
Both Pores and Bohland went about
their business with determination. The
pair gradually worked their way away
from the pack, with Organ in close
pursuit. The Pittsburgh runner pulled
up on even terms with Bohland and
Pores as the three runners passed the
mile point all abreast. At this early
stage Of the race, some were already
beginning to totter, and the field was
trailing for more than a half mile in
the rear.
Organ assumed the lead at the third
mile post by matter of two yards, but
he did not maintain this advantage
long, as Bohland and Pores soon were
at mis- side. Kyronen, Costello, Laakse
fifty yards behind and making no prog
ress in gaining any ground on the lead
crs.
Laakse soon moved up into fourth
place and managed to ge. fifteen yards
behind the three pacemakers. How
ever, his squirt was costly, for as the
field rounded 10th Street into Fifth
Avenue he began to fall rearward.
Running down the traffic congested
Fifth Avenue, Bohland, Pores and Or
gan continued their wild fight for the
honors Passing Forty second Street
they were still running strid. for stride,
with Laakse some fifty yards behind,
Hankel fifth, Kyronen laboring along
in sixth place, Costello ninth and Hen
igan eleventh. A change came at Thirty
sixth Street and Fifth Avenue, where
Organ began to show signs Of weak
ness. Within half mile Pores and
Bohland had succeeded in gaining two
blocks on the Pittsburgh man. The lat
ter managed to mike up half this dis
lance, but he never succeeded in catch
ing the leaders.
The struggle now remained between
Bohland and Pores, with the .irst named
running along easily and biding his
time. Turning into Lafayette at Fourth
Street Bohland tested Pores with
strong sprint, but soon slackcncd his
pace. Pores WAS therefore soon at his
side. However, Bohland three blocks
further on, again surprised Pores with
sprint, and again Bohland slowed
down after gaining slight lead.
However, Bohand decided to make
his final bid to leave Pores behind
within lcss than half mile to the fin-
ish line. The Paulist boy heightened

Tales OF a Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

Copyright, 1919, New York Tribune Incl
The average golfer is a queer, quaint,
bizarre, mysterious and weird institu-
ton.
He doesn't like to practise So he
is willing to go along and suffer the
sings and arrows of an outrageous
game-all the poignant anguish of fiub-
bed drives and topped mashies and
missed puts, from month to month
and from year to year, rather than
take the time or trouble to improve.
We sometimes wonder If the average
playcr-or the duffer-or even the low
handicap man has ever taken time
to note the difference between practice
and play?
Take the case of a man playing
around 90. In one round he will ap-
proximate the average of Is drives,
) brassie or spoon shots, 6 full iron
shots, 7 niblick shots, 20 mashie or
jigger shots, and 40 puts. This will
be the distribution he gets for his
21a hours Of effort
In Practice
Suppose lie takes only two hours off
for practice. We made the test re-
Gently to see just what could be ac-
complished along this line, with
fairly active caddle
The result was astonishing. Taking
out a dozen old balls to a secluded
art of+ bo
tice yielded the following returns:
36 tee shots
36 full shots with midiron and driv
ing iron.
a mashie shots from 100 to 40
yards.
Y chip shots, from 10 to so yards.
So puts.
Against the total Of 90 strokes taken
in full round, requiring 2is hours.
here was total Of 324 strokes, with
different clubs, taken in two hours OF
practice. The margin is nearly a to
l, with the added advantage Of being
aoie to play one shot after another
minus the delay, where it is easier
to make corrections and dig deeper
into the main cause of the trouble
SO far as improvement in steadi-
ness and correction of faults are CON
cerned, you can get as much out Of
two hours of practice as YOU can from
four rounds OF play
NO, 1T isn't as much fun-for that
day. But it pays a wonderful rate of
interest later on, when you can cease
haunting the bunkers and the traps.
and where every alternate shot isn't
followed with Here, boy, hand me a
nibick!'
The above prescription can be i'm
proved to meet the individual case.
the main idea being to give the bulk
or your time to the club or clubs where
you are weakest, breaking up the
practice schedule sufficiently to diver
SHY the occasion and prevent staleness.
AS an Aid
There is no fun, of course, and no
! great good, in making this practice
period mere slogging affair-a mat
ter of just hitting the ball and let
it so at that.
There is plenty of interest at hand
in studying your faults and attempt
ing to work out your salvation.
Then, again, bit of imagination
won't hurt. Imagine, for example, tlat
some ball near the cup is your op-
poneat's ball in a tight match. end
\ then see how often you can get as
close or even closer.
This will all be good schooling, and
1t Will help remove the drudgcry. and
there will be further satisfaction, as
the Improvement begins, in noting the
startled look on old Bill Hoskins' face
IN your next round as you begin lif,.
ing patches OF his hide at u ball a

In his choice of drinks Bismarck
displayed a somewhat unpatriotic
spirit. Talking to Mr.. John Booth
in 1879. Bismarck confessed that
when stationed at ST. Petersburg,
he used to drink two bottles of
champagne day.
He estimated that altogether he
had drunk 5000 bottles of cham
pagne and shocked 100000 cigars.
On another occasion Bismarck
declared that beer makes men

Seed Corn.

II seed corn costs SIS bUshei
the seed used on an acre is worth
about go cents. Just now it costs
$3.50 to $500 an acre for seed
wheat, $4 SO an acre for red clover
seed, and ST an acre for Grimm al
falfa seed, at retail prices. And yet
it is usually considered that SIS a
bushel is high price for seed corn.
That is the price asked for the
good grades of pure corn at most
leading seed houses, where a third
of the whole crop is used for d.
It's worth the money, too. and yet
how much more valuable is bush
el of corn selected from forty or
fifty bushels as it is when field Sc
lected A seed house would charge
at least SIS a bushel for seed
handled in such a manner. And
they would sell it to men who raise
the best corn and farm the best
land to be had. Such men appreci-
ate the value of good seed.
Corn is Harrison County's biggest
crop. says R, j. Howat county agent
and has long been the most profita-
BILE crop on the farm. 10 spite Of
its importance the matter of seed
selection never occurs to a surpris-
ingly large number of farmers until
they ere ready to start the planter
in the spring
Talking about seed corn is not out
of season at all Right now is the
time to lay away seed for next year,
if it has not already been done.
Many farmers have theirs all picked
and hung up in safe place. These
are usually the kind of men who
are considered among the best
farmers in the neighborhood, in 9TH
er matters as we'll as in seed corn
selection.
1t would be hard to imagine
more profitable way to spend a day
right now than out in the corn field
with a sack, hunting out the deep
grained, medium sized. we'll matur-
ed ears growing on sturdy, good
stalks. Seed picked in that way
and dried in the house where frost
won't hurt it, may mean the iiffer-
ence between success and failure
next year.

Lyndon RushcrOft was a tall, saggy
man Of fifty. Despite his determined
erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge
and gray, appeared to be much too
pOnderOus for his yielding body, and
yet he carried it manfully, ever the
atrically. The lines in his dark, sea-
sOned face were like burrows; his nos
was large and somewhat dubious, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick, black
eyebrows shaded a pair of eyes in
which white was no longer apparent

A twO-days' stubble covered his chin
and cheeks. Altogether he was a sin

The little hall In which he found
himself was the "office" through which
all men must pass who come as guests

staircase took up one end of the room.
Set In beneath its upper turf was the
counter over which the business Of the
house was transacted, and behind this
a man was engaged In the peaceful
occupation of smoking a cOrncOb pipe.
An open door to the right Of the
stairway gave entrance to a room from
which came the sound of a deep, sOno-
rous voice mployed In what turned
out to be a conversational solo. To
the left another door led to what was
evidently the dining room. The glance
that the stranger Sent in that direction
revealed two or three tables covered
with white cloths.
