as the foot of the stairs. | went, too,
but got only far enough to meet the
boss coming up again. There was
nothing doing. The station policeman
had seen the crazy rounder jump into

There was another jolt waiting for
us when we got back to the office.
While we were both out. Mr.. Van Britt
had blown In from his room at the
foot of the hall and we found him
lounging comfortably In the chair that
Collingwood had just vacated.

out. Then: "Sit down. Graham;

Mr.. Norcross took his own chair and

briefly.
Mr.. Van Britt hooked his thumbs
in his armholes.
I've just been figuring a bit on the
general outlook: you have a decently
efficient operating outfit here. what

CLUB GOLF COURSE
WILL BE ENLARGED
Addition Of Nine Holes Will Make II
One Of Best in South.

Pensacola is to have an 1S-hole golf
course IL plans now being worked out
materiallze, and there is every indica-
ton that these plans will be carried to
a successful conclusion.
The Country club now has a nine
hole course, and the committee is plan
ming to add nine more holes in Deem
Der, when the golf professional will ar
rive for the season.
The Country club is one of Pensa-
cola's chief social and business assets.
Prominent men who come to this city
for relaxation, find much pleasure in
outdoor sports, and the Country club
with its attractive environment is most
popular.
With the addition of nine more holes,
the course will rank with the best in
the south, and will be one of the ad-
vantages well worth advertising to at
tract visitors to Pensacola.
While the Country club as an organi-
zation does not throw open its doors
indiscriminately to the public, it does
entertain many distinguished civilians
and officers of all branches of the serv-
ice. Its location On one of the most
beautiful parts of the bay has already
given it much fame, and with a golf
course which will compare favorably
with any in the south, the club win be
doubly attractive TO visitors and resi-
dents.

The Tiger viii come out of her lair
again Saturday and the fans will again
hear her scream as she thrusts her
claws at the throat of another oppo-

to be thriller as the teams will bat

most football knowledge and ability
will take home the bacon.
Coach Banks is putting the boys
through their regular scrimmage and
routine every day and, although the
team will be weakened by the in
juries of several players, they will
fight all the harder if these men are
out as the squad always plays harder
when the dope is against them. Still
it would not be so bad if the places
could be filled by subs but to date
they have not showed the ability to fill
the places left vacant by Stearns and
Levy.

Coach Banks has been trying to fill

Miss Margaret Louise Yonge, fresh

the Wright game Saturday by the
members of the Tiger squad yesterday,
after the regular athletic meeting. Miss
Yonge has chosen the following girl
friends to act as her maids at the
game: Misses Amante and Emily
Semmes, Gladys Turner, Marion
Bishop and Miriam Meyer.
Miss Yonge is the oldest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Malcolm Yonge and,
while only a freshman, has won her
