Story OF A Band
OF Bad Bows

There was once band of bad
boys that wandered about the
streets at night. These boys
names are Floyd, Lester, Howard,
Kenneth. Harry, Donald, and Will
Der. They often got into mischief
In the same city lived a good
boy named Glen. He did not go
out at night or evening unless he
was sent Tor an e.rrrand.
One day when Glen was going
up town for an errand. He met
the bad boys. They wanted Glen
to so with them but he didn't
want to. So the bad boys begged
him so hard that he wentwith them
By this time Glen had forgotten
he was going for an errand. The
boys walked around until they
could find some mischief. They
found some pears that looked good.
The bad boys did not want to go
and get them. SO they told Glen
TO get the pears. Glen got over
the fence and when he was getting
back over the fence the folks that
owned the pears came out of doors
and saw Glen. When he was get
ting back over the fence he fell
back and the other boys ran away
and left Glen there.
When Glen fell back he broke his
arm. He had to be carried home
by the people who owned the pears.
The people knew the boys and
told the policeman. He punished
the boys. When Glen was well
enough to 60 out the policeman
told him he would have to be
punished.
One day the boys came back 10
see how Glen was getting along.
He was getting along all right. The
Policeman's name is Mr. Marvin
Rinehart. When Glen got well
enough to 60 out the policeman
punished Glen. He made Glen
stay in a house and didn't get to
do anything. He stayed in there
for two weeks. When the two
weeks was up Glen went out for
an errand. His mother gave him
a nickle to get some candy if he
wanted to.
When he was going in to a store
the boys called to him and said
Let's 60 out and see the dipper
tonight" Glen said "all right"
AT milnight they got up and called
to Glen. Glen got up and went
down stairs easy, but his mother
heard him and said, What are
you going to do" | am getting a
drink. He got a drink and went
out of doors. The boys saw the
dipper and then were going to try
to break in store.
They went out and got in a
window and got some candy and
some chewing gum. The next
morning when the clerks went in
they saw the window was open and
some one got it. The clerks told
the policeman and he saw some one
in there and heard them talk. It.
sounded like Glen and Wilbur
The policeman saw the boys on
the street all alone.
The policeman talked to the

MADE 18O HOLES IN 7e6

TDDIE STYLES, worlds champion
~ marathon golfer. cast def today in
the t"eth Of the golf world to play him
for his title.
He is willing to take on anybody,
anywhere and any time.
Styles won the title from Fred w.
Knight last season.
He played ten full rounds in one
day over the 5000 plus yard course at
Old York Road Country Club. in 1876
strokes. or an average of 70 and Cloths
He holds the gold watch symbolic of
the worlds title.
Styles started play at $40 a. nj. and
finished just at dark about 0 y. m
Six officials kept tabs on his score.
Conditions
The conditions under which Styles is
ready to defend his title are not nu-
merous. The champion will permit any
challenger to play on any course in the
country so long as the yardage does not
vary as much as full hole from the
course Styles elects to play. In other
words, the yardage of the course PLAYED
by contestants must be virtually the
same.
Official tabs on the scores must be
kept by markers so appointed. The play
must all be on one calendar day, all
puts holed out with strict adherence to
the rules of golf medal play
If the contesting player plays more
holes in total averaging less per round
than the champion is able to do, STYLES
will relinquish his title.
A player may compete on any course
in the country so long as the yardagc is
right, notice of the play filed in advance
and the match played under official
supervision.

golfer to win the title, has already
challenged Sty les, and the two will play
side by side, in an each man for him :

The course and other conditions are
yet to be chosen.
Charles Daniels, the noted swimmer

the Knight Styles match.
Styles has gone into training in the
expectation of u lot of challenges from
all over the country.
walking forty miles or more and
hitting something like 800 golf shots
of every kind" said Styles today,
takes a lot of strength and en- :
durance. A player has to be in pretty
good shape to try it. The first three
or four rounds are the hardest. After
that a player finGs himself going me :
chanically.
THE best nine holes I made when
playing for the title were the last nine of
the $50 holes. l shot those in SO. I
think ] might possibly get in another
round by using every minute of day :

the average of breaking eighty. I don I
think any one else can either.
Anyhow ] am willing to defend nv

Annapolis, Md, Jan. In a
finely contested game of basketball
here this afternoon, Princeton won

the floor and had twelve chances from
the line. ByerIy could do no better than
score on an even half of his throws,
while Netts put the ball through the
rings eight times.
At the opening of the game Prince
ton looked an easy winner, having the
score at 10 to I early in the first period,
and ending the half - to Z.
A rally early in the second period

the visitors little margin and they
resorted to upcourt passing to insure a
victory, Burkholder breaking through
and scoring again made the figures
close, and the game ended with both
teams playing desperately.
Burkholder played a fast and accur-
ate game for the navy, with Waters
