 Championship

Chattanooga, Tenn, August 26.- After finishing the morning round all square, Pollack Boyd of Chat tanooga this afternoon retained his title of golf champion of Tennessee by defeating Mike Thomas of Nash vile, up and D to so.
 The champions victory was won by the smoothest, most machine-like golf of the tournament. He played par golf on every hole but one. had no birdies, no freak shots. no long butts, no approaches dead to the hole. but made every shot count as if he were calculating par for the course with his clubs, rather than a tape line

NOT STARTED Yet
Winter Tourist Traffic DELAYED
by Fine Weather Here.
Rates Effective This Winter
Lower Than m 1921.

In spite of the fact that the winter
tourist rates for rail travel, issued
by the Southwestern Passenger bu-
reau, at Chicago, and effective to
points in the south on all roads. be-
came effective October 1, there are
very few people from Kansas taking
advantage of them, on account of the
fine weather this fall, according to
Q. E. Bascom, city passenger agent
for the Rock Island in Topeka.
All the Kansans who have been in
northern resorts this summer, have
returned to their homes. and the
weather has been so fine that none of
them have felt the call of southern
ports as yet.
California travel is yearly becoming
more steady and a fixed quantity. At
the present time the number of per
returning from the same point, is
almost equal.
Rates Lower This Year.
The tourist rates to the south, which
became effective October 1, are lower
than the rates to the same points last
year. To Jacksonville, Fla, the round
trip rate this year from Topeka. IS
$72.s0- In 1921 it was $7e.10. The
rate from Topeka to Ell Paso, which
was $65.o1 last year, is $61.45 this
year. The rate to Galveston and re-
turn was $54.40 last year and is s46
this year. The rate to Mobile, Ala,

Railroad NeOs of Week
VERNON E. BUNDY
ARE LESS wary ROADS ARE SAFER
Fewer Fatalities Due to r.. r.
Operation, Ice. Figures Show.
In 1921 There We're Killed
5,s96 Persons-e,92s in 1920.

Statistics which have been compiled
by the interstate commerce comm-s-
sion on fatal accidents on railroads,
in the year 1921, show that there
was a decrease in that year in the
number of persons killed and injured
on the railways of the country, over
the record of 1920.
In the report of the commission it
is stated that 1.-The number of fatal
tiles resulting from railway accidents
of all kinds, industrial included, III
/ sci, was less than for any other year
since 1889. This is a remarkable
showing when it is considered that

times as large at the end of this
period as at the beginning"
Killed 932 Fewer Persons in 1921.
The total number of persons killed
in 1921, according to an analysis of
the report of the I. c. c. made by the
Railway Age" was 1896, as against
6,92s in 1920, a decrease of 932. In
1919 there were killed in railway ac-
cidents total of 6,997 persons.
There were killed during the year,
116 passengers and persons carried
under contract, as compared with 160
persons belonging to this class who
were killed in 1920.
In 1921 there were 1882 employees
killed in train and train service acct
dents. The corresponding figure for
1920 was 1855.
So much for the killing of passen-
gers and employees. On the other
hand, there were killed in highway
crossing accidents in 1921. no fewer
than 1,702 persons or $50 more than
the total fatalities to passengers and
employees due to train operation.
There was an increase in 1921 in
still another class of accidents. The
total number of trespassers on rail-
road property killed in 1920 was g.
N6, and in 1921 it grew to 2,48I.
Prior to the war, however. the num-
Der of trespassers killed annually on
the, railroads of the United States.
averaged about 5000. During and
Immediately after the war the number
was greatly reduced, owing probably
to the fact that there was practically
no unemployment in the country.
The increase in the number of tres
passers-most of them "hoboes''-
killed in 1921, is credited by the inter-
state commerce commission TO the
fact that there was a great deal of
unemployment, due to(thei business
depression, and corresponding in
crease in the number or men who
stole rides on railway trains.

Railway Crossings Are Death
Traps for Increasing Numbers.
In Spite of Careful Crossing
Campaign by Roads.

In spite of the most extensive edu-
cati0Hal campaign against railroad
highway crossing accidents ever car
ried on, figures Just compiled by the
insurance department of the Penn.
sylvania railroad system show that in
June, July and August, of this year,
such casualties increased 80 per cent,
as compared with last season.
There were IS automobile acct
dents at Pennsylvania railroad cross
ings in the three months in question
They caused the death of 56 persons,
and injury to 107 others. or an aver
age of two personal casualties for each
accident. Twelve of the accidents re-
suited in thirtynine deaths; four
caused the death of twenty persons.
or an average of five for each car in
Yolved.
In two of the accidents, entire fam
lilies were wiped out. That these lives
were sacrificed to pure recklessness is
particularly emphasized by the fact
that-&R-both instances the drivers of
the cars lived close to the scenes of
the accidents and were entirely
familiar with the layout of the rail
read tracks and roads over which
they were driving.
sTrainmen Killed No Passengers.
The responsibility of automobile
drivers for the safety of riders in their
cars is no less than that of locomotive
enginemen for the, safety of their train
passengers. 1t is, therefore, i'm
lives lost in only three months by
careless driving of motor cars over
tracks, there were no passengers killed
in train accidents anywhere on the
Pennsylvania railroad system during
the entire year ended May 31st, last
In that period no less than 1, 400,0
passenger trains were operated and
152, 100000 passengers carried safely.
Analysis of the causes of crossing
accidents shows that the vast majority
of motor car casualties at railroad
highway crossings are attributable to
a comparatively small percentage of
inexperienced and irresponsible auto
mobile drivers who have neither the
knowledge, training or judgment re-
quired for the safe operation of such
machines. The result is often failure
to exercise even the most ordinary
precautions necessary for the protec-
ton of life when approaching or driy-
ing over railroad tracks.
Moreover, reckless driving of auto
mobiles is not confined to highway
crossings. This is shown by the daily
reports in the newspapers of !aceidents
caused by driving automobiles into
telegraph poles, or stone walls, ana
by skidding, sideswiping, turning over
and colliding. From this running
chronicle of death and injury. the
conclusion would seem warranted
that what is needed at the present
time is not merely a careful crossing
| campaign to concentrate attention on
crossing accidents alone, but g. ma
tional campaign, carefully planned
and directed against all forms of care
less automobile driving.
In this way POSSIBLY some impress
sion may be made on the automobile
accident record, which shows 1850
persons killed and 100000 injured, in
the United States for the year 1921.

GOLF FOR CHILDREN
If Child Can Watch Good Play
ers He VIII Initiate and Become
One Himself.

What is the right way for child to
learn to play golf? asks Cecil Leitch,
former British women's golf cham
pion, in the October st. Nicholas.
Should he have lessons from a golf
professional, or pick up the game nat
urally?
She says: I am in favor of the lat
ter method, and it will generally be
found that those who teach them
selves become the better players in
the end. The majority of children
initiate the actions of their elders nat
urallyS and il a child has opportuni-
ties of watching good golfers, he in
variably becomes fine player. We
have innumerable proofs of this
among the professionals who were
originally caddies; and If we watch
most caddies swing a club, we note
that they generally do it with perfect
action.
In choosing a youngsters first club
1 should always select a light iron.
There are some teachers. perhaps.
who would prefer a brassie. but
have always found that a boy or girl
is inclined to top almost every shot
with the latter. A stroke which sends
the ball thru the air has a certain fas-
cination, and one can readily under
stand that this type of shot appeals
to the youthful mind far more than
the running ball.
Parents make a mistake in thinking
that any old club, for which they have
no further use, will do perfectly well
for a child when cut down to a suit
able length. 1t is most important that
a. youthful beginner should have a
proper club, and not a clumsy head
on a short shaft. A child's first club
must be a perfect model of what he
will use later. 1t is by no means I'M
common to find a grown-up using tho
club with which he first started, and
using it particularly well and conf
IDENTIFY. This would be impossible if
the club had been a discarded, cut
down one.
Give a child ball and a suitable
club ana allow ito knock it about at
will-with few simple hints, such as
keeping the right hand below the left
and the eye on the ban. Nearly every
beginnex will argue that the reverse
position Of the hands is the more COM
Portable, but he must not be allowed
to act accordingly. In the early days
the young pupil will probably miss
the ball Elore often than he hits it;
but very soon "air shots" will be few
and far between. and before long the
ball will be hit cleanly and consistent
ly- There is nothing more fascinating
than watching the rapid progress OF
young golfer, and the increasing
keenness as the shots become longer.
Altho hate to have to say so. ! can
not help admitting that boys, as a
rule, acquire much more smooth and
convincing styles than girls.
