Worcester Nine i'm Fair
Way to Repeat Sue
cess of Last Year
By r. J, Kelly

Although the college baseball sea-
son has barely passed the midway
mark, the Holy Cross nine now ap-
pears to have an excellent chance to
repeat it's performance Of last year,
when it won the mythical champion
ship of ghe East. 1t might be safe
even nov to venture the prediction
that the Worcester collegians will
again b. on top when the 1920 cam
paign comes to a close.
Of course, much in the nature Of
the unexpected is liable to happen
between now and the end of the sea-
son, but there is no team in this Sec
tion Of the country which seems to
possess the strength to displace the
Holy Cross aggregation from its &C
knowledged leadership in the college
baseball world. There is no. team
whose record to date can even equal
that Of the New England nine.
1t is true that Jesse Burkett's
charges have been defeated by George
town, but, as has been said before, the
Southerners had the advantage of
more than a month Of outdoor work
outs while their Northern rivals had
to be content with indoor practice.
Holy Cross will get an opportunity
to avenge its only setback when the
Washington team journeys to Worces-
ter later in the season. 1t must
be admitted, however, that from pres
ent indications the Georgetown min

Boston A. A. Man Misses
Only 3 i'm 200 'sBirds''; {;
Has String of l39

Jay Clark jr., of Worcester, Mass, a
member of the shooting team Of the
Boston Athletic Association, won the
fifteenth annual amateur championship
of America at clay targets over the
traps of the New York A. C. at Travers
Island yesterday. He took the title
from field Of 1866 nimrods with a score
Of 1877 out Of q possible 200 targets.
His card ties the record for the event
held jointly by j. E. Jennings, of Tod
Morden, Ont, and Fred Plum, Of At
lantic City, N. j. He is one bird" be-
hind the record made by the champion
in 1918 in the preliminary to the
championship shoot.
The new champion started out as
though he were going to run straight
for the full distance. He did not make
a miss until after his 135th target had
been hit. AS he had had four over
from the preliminary on Friday, his
straight run was 139. Fred Plum ran
1876 in 1918. Clark's strings were 20,
20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 20 and 18. The
gathering twilight was responsible for
his missing two targets in his last
string.
E. S. Staples, another Boston gunner,
finished second with card of 1876.
Then came G. l.. Becker, of Ogden,
Utah, who did excellent work until his
final string and looked like possible
winner. Becker fell down in his last
time at the traps and finished with a
card of 194, as did f. A. Seibert, of the
New York A. C.

In regard to Standardization there
isn't any question but that the golf
balls now used are long enough.
If manufacturers persist in turning
out livelier ball they will merely

If livelier ball is given to the mar

1t is simple enough to say, "Abolisl

parently not quite so easy.
For the next step ia about this-in
just what way shall the recognized pest
be abolished?
The Stymie Problem
This problem, or the size thereof Of
this problem. was given further impe.
tus few days ago when various ANA
teurs. professionals, camp followers, cx-
perts and so on gathered with the U. S
G. A. Committee in New York to discuss
various matters concerning rules. "Abol.
| lsh tho stymie" was a popular slogan
But IN the discussion which followed
| there were any number of ways sug-
gested to bring about this relief.
Here are few of the many sugges-
tions offered:
l. If your opponent lays you stymie
have him remove his ball while YOU
putt. If you lay yourself a stymie YOU
must play it.
z. Do away with the stymie in both
forms, whether your opponent or you
yourself are responsible
3. If you are laid a stymie you Their
have the alternative of conceding youl
opponent his putt while you go for the
cup.
Three Main Suggestions
These were the three main suggos.
tlons. The second suggestion was that
the stymie be treated in match play as
in medal play.
In medal play if your opponents ball
IS In the road he must either putt OF
lift, giving you try for the cup.
This would mean total abolition.
The first suggestion has great
many supporters. If your opponent
| plants stymie in your path he would
then be forced to lift until you had
putted.
, Buff you take putt for the cup
and through your own mistake or error
leave your ball directly back of his then
you must accept the penalty and play
the stymie as of old.
In arrangement No. you would rare.
~ concede your opponent a putt to get
| his ball out of the way unless he were
close to the cup. More judgment, good
or bad, would be involved in this latter
Simplest Way Out
The simplest way out is to abolish

Mrs. Green Considerably Relieved
When Husband Explained His
Reasons for Singing.

Mr.. Green fancied his voice. and
hardly ever failed to attend any mu.
steal evenings that were given in his
neighb0rhOOd.
On this occasion, however, he was
rather nervous, for his wife was going
with him for the first time and she
had never heard him sing in public
in fact, she didn't know he had ever
done so.
When the meeting was drawing to a
close the chairman stood up and asked
If any gentleman would oblige with a
song. Green at once climbed upon the
platform and 0bliged-much to his
wife's annoyance. il one could accept
her expression as a criterion of her
feelings.
George" she whispered. when the
pair were on their way home. "what
ever made you sing?"
"Why, my dear" said her husband

making YOU wait 20 minutes for YOUR

During the summer months kitchen
waste Is of many varieties and of
considerable volume. When of good
quality such waste products as beet
tops, turnip tops. carrot tops. potato
parings, onion tops, watermelon and
cantaloupe rinds, the outside leaves
of cabbages, waste lettuce leaves. and
similar vegetables are relished by
hens. But when such food is mixed
with dlshwater decomposed waste
material or moidy bread harmful re-
suits from feeding may be expected.
In saving the scraps it Is we'll to sep
arate the portions adapted for feeding
to the poultry flock and place these
In receptacle or pail Of their own.

LARGER CAPACITY OF ROADS
Must Be Doubled to Meet Augnnentina
Requirements of Transportation
Next Year.

We are confronted with the problem
Of increasing the capacity of our
highways. This must be doubled TO
meet the augmenting requirements Of
the next year or two. Engineers are
wondering along what line this in
crease shall be provided. One sugges-
ton Is TO double the width of the
roads and increase first cost and main
tenance 100 per cent. The most reason
able one is TO provide road of suffi-
cient strength TO carry vehicles Of
100 per cent greater capacity for a
given width Of road. as the first cost
of these strengthened roads would be
only 10 TO 20 per cent greater per
mile than that of present inadequate
highways, says a writer in an ex-
change. In view Of the fact that so
per cent increase in hauling capacity
gives reduction of IS per cent in
transportation costs. the latter seems
the wisest thing To do.
