There's many prominent man

Those were the times when three
or four actors used to room to-

The landlady would never turn

afraid you might inhale some of it
and cheat her out of her money.
Very few roomers would do a
thing like this, though. Some of
them have owed their landlady fifty

They'd pay her If they had her

NEW YORK, July g.-Jim Corbett
didn't know whether to keep on
laughing or start crying when the
writer saw him yesterday. Jim was
thinking of the stories he'd read
about the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
81 must be blind" said Jim with
a perplexed look. You know ! was
right at the ringside, but on the
level, l didn't see half the things
those experts wrote about. The
stories about the marvellous foot
work. the lightning-like thrusts and
the graceful dodging--say, how do
they get that way?
NEITHER VERY CLEVER
There was nothing in that whole
fight that showed either man one bit
clever. I'd call Critic, Dempsey the
Nonpareil. Tommy Ryan and Jack
McAuliffe clever, but l couldn't hon
estly say that Carpenter classes with
those fellows.
Carpenter has the fastest right
hand I've ever seen, and I've seen a
lot of good rights in my time. But he
showed nothing at all in the clever
line. The Fellows a cat. He watches
for openings, and unless his opponent
is quick as a fash or has an iron jaw.
Carpenter will give him a lot OF
trouble.
DIDN'T SEE ANY SPEED.
Dempsey didn't show me any
cleverness at all. The stories l read
of the tight were full of talk of speed
and cleverness, but / didn't see any
of Il.
Dempsey is more like Jeffries
than any other heavyweight I've ever
seen. He is big, strong fellow, with
a pile driver punch and an iron jaw.
They talk about matching him with
Brennan or Gibbons. That would be
murder. Right now there isn't
man in the world who has a chance
with him. He's too young and strong
for them. ITss body blows will stop
any of them in a few rounds.

where the brown patch" occurs in

There appears to be certain strains
of grasses which resist the disease bet
ter than others, and hope is entertain
ed by the Agricultural Department
that strains of what is known as
carpet bent" will be highly resistant,
IL not immune from the. disease.
To the host of golfers, members of
greens committees and clubs, the
matter OF brown patch" Is alarming.
The disease appears to be unchecked
and is playing havoc with putting on
the greens.
In 1916 the disease was rampant at
Columbia and was carefully studied
there and at the Arlington expert
mental station. Bordeaux mixture
was used with gratifying results.
GRASS APPEARS DEAD.
On some of the putting greens on
courses in this vicinity the grass APP
pears to be entirely dead. Playing
over such greens is possible, but the
dead grass, bare In spots. causes the
golf balls to play unusual tricks.
Putting under such circumstances
robs the game of much of it's delight
and causes players to vent their
spleen upon ground keepers and
greens committees.
Such criticism is unfair to those
working on golf courses. for even
Uncle Sans trained grass experts
are unable to cope with the disease.

States Golf Association, of which DR..

study of the fungus disease and up
to this time has been unable to dis
cover a remedy.
