CHICKS WELL N
 LEAD IN SOUTHERN

Memphis, April 3O.-Memphis tight Southern association pennant race by winning five of the six games played this week, a total of II games won and two lost since the season started, while Chattanooga, with a record for lost, moved up from a tie with New Orleans for third place to the position of runner-up to Memphis.
 New Orleans, with a count of three games won and four lost, held to third position, only a few points behind Chattanooga.
 Little Rock and Mobile, each with a percentage of 800. were tied for fourth place; Birmingham, after a disastrous week--five games lost and one won--was sixth, a drop from sec ond place at the end of last week At lanta followed Birmingham, and Nash vile held to last place with total of only three games won and II lost thus far. Little Rock played six games and won four.
 Memphis and Nashville played the first double header of the season Wednesday and broke even.
 Chattanooga, New Orleans, Mobile and Atlanta will have the advantage of playing on home grounds during the coming week.
 Memphis. which so far has had all most an even break in games at home and abroad, will start on a two-week road trip Tuesday.
 The weeks record of games won lost, with runs, hits, errors men left on bases and opponents runs, includ- ing games of today, follows:-

 BILL WAS LUCKY
 What do you think of Brennan?"
 He is g. blamed, fine kid" Dempsey laughed. Last Christmas he got out some Christmas cards, standing with arms folded while I was in a doctor $ office having my ear sewed up because of that wallop he gave me in that fight of ours. But at that, I think he looked worse than 1 did after that scrap. l could have gone 25 rounds that night easy, the way I felt"
 The fight with Carpenter ought to be a good one" Dempsey's big white teeth gleamed.
 "Therell be time enough to think about that fight he said.
 Then someone started dance on the phonograph in the hallway, and Demp- sey arose from the table, seized Jimmy Chapin, Welsh's handyman about the farm, and gave exhibition of the art of shimmying.

Midwinter Precautions for Autos

T ioIl arm Ll1e.
 Take time in warming up the en, zine these cold mornings Remem Der there is nothing to be gained by hur> rying it. Don't jump upon the accel- orator and let your engine race like a Lewis gun. for with poor fabrication this method usually results in serious damage. and is bound to have a bad effect if practiced regularly. Run the engine slowly for three minutes before putting it to work, and you econom :ze not only in repair bills. but also in oil or gasoline.
 Watch your radiator for leaks. It will naturally be filled with anti freezing liquid in winter, and while a small leak in the system in summer would not be important, the present high price of non freeze fluids should encourage careful inspection ever sc often.
 Now is the time to buy your hood and radiator cover. You promise your- self to get these some time, but YOU put it off from day to day, >and it is never done. You use robe as a makeshift, Or possibly nothing at all Is provided to protect the inside of your engine when it Is standing This results in further waste of fuel in warming the engine again
 Watch out for your windshield these cold mornings. The glass is brittle, and easily broken. Often a sharp Jerk to change its position will crack the glass

 ST. ANDREWS RITLES

Told by whom? AS q member of the rules of golf committee, permit me to say that the Royal and Ancient has never made statement of that chac- acter, or even implied anything of the kind. St Andrews, when approached in the past, usually by English clubs, in effect, has simply replied; For cen turies we have played 9 game in Scot land calle d,golf which our forebears have handed down to us, and we have been taught it along with our educa- tion and our manners from childhood. It has pleased us that England, and later America adopted the game with enthusiasm, and that today in nearly every part of the world there is a golf course. However, it is not our desire to dictate to anyone. When asked, VIC are happy to tell those in other coun- tries who are interested what the rules of golf are, as played here in Scotland !"
 Continuing, he said: Now. clubs or associations that care to play a game similar to golf must not blame St. Andrews for any boishevik game they wish to adopt. St. Andrews is simply and honestly sorry that all others can not understand the charm, the nobil- ity of the game as it is known in Scotland. There is no reason why one should not eat with one's knife, but 1t isn't done in polite society"
 Now will all Americans be good and respect the Royal and Ancient as they should, or will they try to con tinue bolshevik ruling and feat with their knives?"

 Impress Critics
 at Penn. Tourney

Philadelphia. April S0.-Remarkable ath- letic performances by western athletes were the outstanding feature of the final day of the twenty-seventh annual relay carnival of the University of Pennsyl- vania, staged on Franklin field here this afternoon.
 The water-soaked track and turf with the tall 1.-the and powerful performers from the middle section of the country won a number of important competitions in impressive fashion. Of the more im- portant college championship races, Ill., nois captured the four-mile event after steady race, which caused both Cornell and Princeton runners to falter under the strain.
 The Cedar Rapids High school team also entered splendid combination in both the one-mle high school champion ship and the two-mile interscholastic ti- tular run and raced away with a double victory. In the individual contests, Weiss of Illinois won the discus throw, Os- borne of Illinois tied with Chamberlain of Virginia, Albedts of Illinois and Mui- phy of Notre Dame in the high jump at 6 feet 2& inches, and on the toss for places won prizes in the order named

Some Hints on Dyeing

From the Thrift Magazine
 There is a fascination in renovat- ing an old garment, in evolving some thing new and bright from some thing old The dye pot holds many possibilities when in the hands of an efficient worker.
 In the first place, do not expect too much. If the cloth is worn or roughed up it will still look worn and roughed when it comes from the dye. You can change colors and do away with spots i and streaks, but no amount of dyeing can restore material to it's former bril- liance and newness. The faded gar ment which yet contains much wear is the one to experiment with. Be sure it is thoroughly clean. washing and rinsing it well. Dye while still moist, following explicitly the direc. tions given on the package. Fabrics of solid shade color better than those of stripe or plaid design. Figured ef- fects show after dyeing the same as before. If the design has been in the weave only, the goods will be lust as pretty as ever.
 When fabrics are of two or 'nore colors the result of dyeing will be combinations of the original colors When contemplating dyeing such ma terial, it is good policy to choose a dye similar to or darker than the prevail ing color. Soft. clingy fabrics take up dye much more readily than those of stiff, wiry texture.
 Crepe de chine and other.light wash silks being quite easily dyed, while taffeta and some of the heavier grades are slow to take the dye requiring constant stirring that all parts may receive the dye alike, otherwise the goods may come out spotted. Goo-
 ibbons dye we'll but 1t is waste ol time and money to attempt the cheap grades. Choosing right colors to ap- ply over original Is quite a factor to- ward gaining wanted results. Most dye manufacturers furnish a free pam phlet, which explains all about colors as well as methods, and how to get the best results.
 There Is no reason why anyone should not learn to be successful in this art of transformation if they go about it in the right way. There is much to be saved in the process, and such satisfaction In these times of high cost of living to realize one'A ability to create something new ana beautiful from castaways.

GOLF, AS PLAYED
 BY AMERICANS, IS
 BOLSHEVIK GAME
CHARLES B. M'DONALD Scotch and Americans Can't Agree on Various Rules
 of the Game
Nv WALTER CAMP.


 Special Correspondent of The Age
 Herald. Copyright. 1921. by The >Age-HeraId.
 New York, April 9o.-There are in- dications that in spite of the agree ment between British and American golfers a year ago all is not serene in the international situation. Indeed. may yet be sharp divergence, prob ably as a result of the. controversy over the standard golf ball. This is an old bone of contention. Golfers of two great nations have always differed about it. Just who is right and who is wrong is not for any one man to determine, but undoubtedly study of the history of the golf ball will make it clear that the American golfer has much on his side, in the way of argu- ment, at least.
 In the first place, if the English and Scotchmen had had their way, there would have been little improve ment in the ball and elub-particular- ly in balls. It will be remembered that not only did Great Britain stand out for a time against the rubber cored hall, but that Bram ston, when he came over from the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing society, some years after the rubber -cored ball was in use by most golfers on both sides of the water, stuck tenaciously to the gutty ball. and played 1t through his matches here. The butter was also another in stance.
 BAR THIS PUTTER
 When Walter Travis won the anna = p h a ,11n h ,x;+l Schenectady butter, and did such re- markable work on the greens, there was hue ard cry and the Schenec- tady has ever since been barred at British courses. Now we come to the matter of balls, and here even after an agreement was reached and a cer- tain standard ball was adopted by both countries, the Scotchmen and Englishmen still contended for large. light ball, and the Americans for a heavier ball
 J, H. Taylor is battling hard for the large light or "noated" ball. In fact, he comes out with this state ment: T am certain that such action (namely, the coming out of the Royal andS Ancient Golf club for a 'foater' balD, will receive the appreciation of all true golfers, and the verdict of posterity will be that the game was saVeu TOT them So the discussion gathers momentum.
 DESIRES OF AMERICANS A recent letter of Charles B.. Mac Donald of the Royal and Ancient club. on the rules of golf, has increased the irritation of Americans. one of whom, Mattingly, has just made answer. Mattingly contends that the wishes of the great Yankee majority has been d1sregarded for 25 years because those in control of golf in this coun- try believe the dominating seat of government should be in Scotland. He glories In the fact that the United states Golf association has concluded at last that the desires of the great army of American golfers should be considered.
