III you are as good as you say you
are, ! should think the score cara OF
a match between you and your attn

some interest to your readers"
The gentleman who seriously would
suggest such a match is no friend OF
Gains. One who suggests that the
score be printed is no friend of ours.

cause a number of vitriolic gentlemen
have written us to that effect. we are
just exactly as good as we claim to be.
The other day, on No. at Areni-

a difficult par hole. we took an 3.
On No. 4, which is long par hole.
we had 5. On No. s. which is
comparatively easy 4. we took Q.
That is the sort of golfer we are.
and no necromancer can tell what our
medal score for any given eighteen
holes is likely to be.
Let Everybody Look, Say We.
Sirs-In your casual reading of con-
temporary literature suppose you take
a squint at Clarence F. Underwood's
drawings to illustrate Wallace TWINS
Evening Post. The first picture shows
the lady, who is supposed to be a
blonde, apparently with dark hair,
and in the text it says her feet Were
encased in sensible bregans with
flat heels. six inches of wooden stock

in the picture may be intended for
brogans. but certainIy are not the
kind we ordinarily expect to find so
described; and If the stockings are
nd nnlx 81 irnp If
revealed above the shoes-well. you
may draw your own conclusions.
Furthermore. the male party in this
affair is supposed to be wearing a

the occasion his dinner Jacket seems
to have been converted into the con-
yentional evening dress. This time,
however. the lady is blonde.
As to Mr.. Underwood's general con-
ception of the lady. very likely he was
right about it. The brunette often
becomes a blonde within the time in
he begins to turn blondes into bru-
nettes that we shall question the
realism on Mr.. Underwood's art.
The brunette. we shall add. is more
durable than the blonde, but for one
reason or another she never is inj-
tated.
"Kearns and Dempsey" SO runs the
mush from the training quarters in
Atlantic City, ARE showing good taste
in the costume the champion will wear
on July 2. He will wear white run
ming pants girdled, not by the Amerf-
can flag, but by a strip of red. white
and blue sash. There will be a small
flag in his corner to denote to the
crowd where Americas representative
sits.
It is a pleasure TO toss a kindly word
into Dempsey's corner To present the
champion in q pair of white running
pants is something more than good
taste. 1t is genius expressing itself in
the tokens of symbolism. -.
One more question and we are done!
Are they by any chance the pants the
champion wore from April. 1917, to
November. 1918. inclusive?

1t is a simple recipe fallow to the
hand of any man who wears a beard,
and many regulations for surprising
wisdom have been predicated on it.
While their action probably was
criminal the men who forged and
sold tickets to the fight have the sat

in line with the trend of contenipo-

rary American thought concerns Itself
mostly with the idea OF selling tickets
at sufficient advance over first cost
