BLOOD TELLS.
Three of the four contestants in the
finals of the state editorial golf tour
nament in Topeka were men born and
bred professionally in the Emporia
Gazette office-Oscar Stauffer, Rolla
Clymer and Roy Bailey. The fourth
was a ringer-an outsider, not a news
paper man at all. And Roy Bailey
beat Rolla Clymer in the finals. If
there is anything in the game of golf,
! it is patience, accuracy and good ma
ture. These things are bred in the
I how 80 h. aff n
office. We have no desire to breed
'em brilliant; we care little for speed
or flase in our young men, but We do
want EN- good, solid stuff. And the
fact that three of our boys lined up
as winners in the state golf tourna-
ment proves something. Perhaps that
they learned to loaf well when they
worked on the Gazette!-Emporia Ga
zette.
One sentence in the above item
brings out the necessity of an ex-
PLANTATION. The so-called frank out
slider" or ringer" was j. c. Mohler.
secretary of the state board of agricul-
ture and a bona fide member of the
Topeka Press club. Mohler was
dragged = almost bodily = into the
tournament by the tournament COM
mittee for the purpose of providing a
| visitor with a running mate in the
| qualifying rounds and with no inten-
| LlOn OF winning OF attempting TO Wit
/ a tournament. Mohler is a good
golfer. and took the low medal honors
With him was L. r. Booth of the
| Capper NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. member
| of the Press club and of the Kansas
Editorial Golf association. Mofllel
| and. Booth both refused to accept the
honors and the prize was given to the
out-of-town player with the Lowest
score. In order to complete the
matches, Mohler was sent out with
Booth. In that manner it was as,
sured that one Topeka man would be
eliminated. Mohler won and went tt
the semi-finals. In order to absolutely
eliminate any possibility Of Topekar
winning the championship, Mohler in
sisted upon FORGETTING his match ana
dropped out of the running by de-
fault.
I It was not the intention of the edi
torial tournament committee to bring
out these facts but the article in the
Emporia Gazette prompts full ex
PLANTATION.
Bailey, C1ymer, and Stauffer are al
tip-top golfers and deserve the credi
they won in the tournament. The edi
torial tournament was a delightful at
fair-especially to the Topekans, whit
were given the opportunity of en-
tertaining the guests. The local com
