imitators. They are hero worshippers.
And it stands to reason that an influ-
entail man playing golf will have
much to do with the moulding of the
character of the caddy under him.
For that reason I want the boys to
understand thOroly the Importance of
their work. I want the men of the
club to understand what it means to
these boys and I want them to set
a better example when the game goes
wrong. Golf is a part of their game
of life and they should teach the boys
how it is played
THRILLS campaign is having it's eff
feet.
Il have seen players blame the cad
dy for a poor shot. I have seen them
blame the caddy for a slice or hook.
have seen them swear at the caddy
because they missed a putt. If the
ball is lost in the tall grass due to
their own poor playing, I have seen
them rave at the caddy because the
ball was lost 1t seems to be a habit
but seldom do these caddies receive
credit for their good service. Things
are different this year"
It is Thrills plan to build shelter
house for caddies this summer. Caddy
tournaments are held regularly and
more than 100 caddies registered at
the Country club. Never has so much
interest IN the game and the "busi-
ness been taken as this season.
Caddymaster Ernest Howard is CO.
operating with Thrill in the work
among the boys. The new system
adopted this year has erased favorit-
ism and the boys are judged on their
merits The signed cards turned in
by. the players indicate the excellent
results of this training.
Ed Thrill always has been known
as the king of sports and good
sports in Topeka. His interest in all
athletics has made him a favorite
among the college men and the golfers
for years Now with the caddies be-
hind him he will soon be qualified for
politics.

Villas BIC BLUFF
Evidence Points Bandit Uses
Armistice as Blind.
Busy Preparing for New Series
of Operations.

San Antonio, Tex, July los
Francisco Villa, Mexican bandit out
law, sincere in his appeal for an armi-
stice or is he merely using the armi-
stice preliminaries as a blind for recog-
milton of his forces for a renewal of
baditry against the de facto govern
ment?
Information that Villa would not
have surrendered under his own
terms has been brought to the United
states by Jesus Corral, a brother-in-
law of the outlaw.
Corral refused to discuss conditions
below the border and even denied he
had been in Mexico but local govern
ment agents state he is in possession
of valuable information regarding the
whereabouts of Villa.
According to information given the
agents by Corral, Villa was camped
about twenty miles south of the bor-
der opposite the Big Bend district
when he left him. At that time he
was planning to resume operations
within two months.
1t is reported that Villa has re-
ceived 200, 600 rounds of ammunition
and more than a thousand cavalry
horses within the last month from the
United States.
Conditions in the City of Mexico
are described here as highly chaotic.
Huerta is disappointed in his position
and is reported to have said his only
loyal minister is Gales. The entire
political situation there is character
lied as very nervous by refugees who
have reached San Antonio within the
last few days.

Doctor West has been unusually sue

or twelve clubs. The state meet was
held at Hutchinson this year and will
be held at Wichita in 1921. The first

to the police. that he wished to in

rob her.
