People Turn Away From Church

TRIED TO STAGE HOLDUP
Attempt Made To Rob Owner
Of Pool Hall; CIubbed Him
Over Head
Especial to The Free Press

lie Sueur, Mimi, April 25.-Mr.
Pomerinke, proprietor of one of the
local pool halls is now laboring un-
der the impression that he is en-
dowed with some strength and vital
ity. Saturday night at IL o'clock,
Mr.. Pomerinke locked UP his pool
hall placing 500 in cash in his
pocket. When he was in the act OF
unlocking the door at home, a man
suddenly stepped from the wood :
shed and struck him on the head
with a stick of stove wood. This
dazed Pomerinke and he fell to the
ground when he was dealt two other
blows from the piece of wood. He
quickly rallied, however, and Crap
pied with his assailant, and gave him
good measure for the blows he had
received.
The man managed to break away
and make his escape. City Marshall
Michael Ryan had two local suspects
up this morning, but Mr.. Pomerinke
did not identify them as being his
assailant. Mr. Pomerinke still has
his roll of 500.
An automobile top and two tires
were stolen from Mr.. Harris OF this
place last night.

ness was concerned.
At Medal Play
The medal play tests of the open
championship have told an exactly op-
posite story.
Most of them have been replete with
stirring drama and head-and head
dashes down the stretch to the wire.
There have been five or six ties, need
ing play-offs, the most notable being
the Ouimet-Vardon- Ray scrimmage Of
1913, where Ouimet's last nine holes
that led to the tie will never be forgot

In 1914 Hagen beat Evans by a sim
gle stroke in a dramatic march to VIC
tory.
In 1915 Travers won by single
stroke in another close affair.
In 1916 Evans and Hutehison had a
wonderful duel all the way, while in
1919, at Braeburn, Hagen and Mike
Brady kept 10000 golf fans in an up
roar, Hagen catching Brady on the final

lasted through three days and ninety
holes of play.

were five men practically tied over the

with each Of the others having a putt

Medal Play Ahead
In the way of golf drama, medal
play has match. play outclassed. Our
open championships have been a series
of dramatic finishes. Our amateur
championships have been series of
anti-elimax finishes, one-sided romps.
The match play battles between
Evans and Ouimet at Oakmont in 1919
and between Evans and Reggie Lewis
at Roslyn in 1920 will never be for
gotten, but they all came early in the
show.
1t was much like putting on the
Knockout scene, the big. act, in the
first few moments of the play.
1t may be we will soon have stir

none too rosy for an exciting final day.

u Which, as casual or fanatical devo-
tee of Scotia's historic pastime, would
you rather watch-the medal play con-
tests that govern an open championship
or the match play contests which gov
ern the amateurs?
There has been more than one dis
rute as to which of these styles holds
the greater interest, but there can be
no dispute as to which offers the more
stirring climax in the way of a spec
tacular finish No dispute, at all, as
the medal play arrangement wins by

Curiously enough, we have had nc

for more than a decade.
The elements have all been there for q

We have had Travers meeting Evans

meeting Evans over a thirty-six hole
test, but in none of these classical af-
fairs was there any approach to drama
All One Sided
All were extremely one sided, with
suspense shattered long before the
home green came in view.
When Travers met Evans in the final
round at Chicago in 1912, Travers won
by margin of to 6.
There is nothing very exciting in g
finish of that sort.
When Travers met Ouimet at Ekwa-
nok in 1914, Ouimet won by margin
of to 5. Once again the expected eli
max was badly wrecked.
When Evans met Ouimet at She En-
gineers course last September, the bic
crowd was keyed to the cracking point
before the match started.
But the early frenzy soon faded out
when Evans ran away with his oppo-
nent to the tune of Z to 6.
