 Miss Joice Wethered
By Associated Press

Sandwich, England, May 19.-Miss Cecil Leitch suffered the most over whelming defeat ever administered to finalist since championship golf matches for women were inaugurated when she lost her title as British womans open golf champion to Miss Joice Wethered today nine up and seven to play.
 It was in the afternoon that Miss Leitch went off her game, for the morning round was nip and tuck from the start, and at the finish of the first IS holes Miss Leitch was one down. The cards of both women for this round showed the same figures fl out and 43 in.
 Thus the gallery was at fever pitch when the afternoon play began over the Princes course here. Miss Leitch complained frequently of the specta tors moving and talking at critical periods in the game.
 The experts were amazed at the collapse of the defeated champion. She stopped twice while putting on the tenth green until spectators ceased talking, then missed a putt and became eight down. The match ended on the next green. when Miss Leitch. seeing she had lost. kicked the ball away and congratulated her opponent.

 The two finaNsts for today's championship match have met be- fore, often playing together at At lanta.

Why Children Leave School

One reason why so many young
people lack general intelligence,
is that1so many drop out of school
when they get UP to high school
or earlier. A veteran teacher says
that one reason for quitting school,
is that they get tired of doing the
same thing over and over again.
Public sentiment demands that
children be drilled very thoroughly
in fundamentals like arithmetic
and English. If an effort is made
to give them some variety of stud
les in the grade schools, it is com
monty regarded as new fashion
fad.
Yet grammar school children
may need some variety in mental
diet. Some of the who do not take
well to books, can be helped by
courses in annual work, domestic
science, OF some form of voca-
tional training. Introducing this
kind of work has had a wonderful
effect 10 arouse the mentality and
ambition of some who have little
gift for book study and to per-
Suade them to stay on in school
life time longer.

 The two hurlers used by Putnam received unusually poor support from the players, who have been batting up an alright defense in the many close contests of the present season, and the locals only managed to squeeze out a win through some good hitting and a few timely errors by the visiting nine.
