they had found the cause o /. Il" i'm
provement, for in his locker Mr. Lu-
cas- had secreted 4 trick golf stick.
Mr.. Oettinger produced this stick
which had a number of articles on
it, and these he explained. A bottle
was to give him courage, looking

the ball, a periscope was to give him
vision, speedometer was to meas
ure his speed, a slate was to enable
him to keep the score and wipe it OFF
if he was getting behind, horn to
tell his opponents to get out of the
way, etc. This skit was exceedingly
clever and provoked much laughter.
To this Mr.. Lucas responded by say
ing that it was noticeable that the
bottle was empty and he could read
