Sports Writers Are Nemesis to-
Passenger Who Poses
as Golf PLAYER

Sports news writers who went down
to Quarantine last night to meet Jack
Dempsey on the Cunard liner Aoui
tania were informed by the ship S
officers that Chick Evans. the former
holder of the national and open golf
hampionships, was a passenger.
Although Evans was known TO be in
this country. passengers said they had
talked with him and he had told of
his matches abroad. AS further proof
Of their assertions they pointed to the
supplementary passenger list on which
appeared the name "Mr. H. L. Dallas
(Chick Evans)."
Presently the young man came along
the promenade deck and was confronted
with writer's personally acquainted
with Evans.
They asked Dallas il he was Chick

name of Dallas in Difference to his
stepfather, whom his mother had re
Gently married. Then in glib fashion
he told of matches he had had abroad
with Vardon, Duncan, Wray, j. Fl. Tay

French champion.
When he started to tell Of forth
coming match with i'm Barnes at the
Ellwood Country Club. one of the
writer's interposed, saying: MIR. Dal-
las. I don't know what your game is
but you are certainly not telling the
truth when you say you are Chick
Evans. What's the idea"'
Dallas thereupon ended the interview
by walking away.

Reddy somewhat GROSSLY. What did
you bring home with you tonight ~
Nothing" replied Reddy. Then,
seeing the look of disappointment on
Mrs. Reddy's face he hastened to add

But my dear. my dear" Reddy
hastened to say, this news NAV mean
full stomachs all around by and by.'
Mrs. Reddy sat down facing Reddy.
Well said she, what is it? Out
with it. I'm willing to listen to any
thing that promises full stomach. -
Then Reddy told her all about his
discovery that there had been party
IN the clover patch near the Old
Briarpatch. At first Mrs Reddy did
not seem at all interested but when
keddy toIu her that there had been
five little Rabbits and four little
Chucks at that party she licked her
lips hungrily. She thought right away
Of her own little Foxes and how much
they would enjoy tender young Rabbit
or Chuck.

be chance to catch one of thosc
youngsters. That Old Briar- patch is
the worst ever Probably those Rabbits
won't poke their noses outside"
"They have done it once. so why
shouldn't they do it again replied
Reddy. "They must have had regular
party there in that clover patch.
Having once been there, they will
visit it again AT the very first chance.
Between Us we ought to be able 10

Reddy very sharply.
