If you don't get the breaks you drop few
strokes in the elimination round, but in the
end pluck and skill and experience and the
fine balance Of the born golfer will count.
He had little bad luck on one of the later
rounds, but, still, it was all the luck Of the
game. Maybe he wouldn't finish right up at
the top, but he'd be among the first three
anyway, and everybody would know that he
really had it the other fellows and would
cop next year, even if he wasn't doing his very
best in this contest
After all, what was an open championship?
Hadn't a lot Of Englishmen and Scotchmen
won it, but did any of them ever finish very
far ahead of our pro? Of course not.
We had to go out Of town Friday and we
didn't see paper till Sunday morning. Ea-
gerly we caught it up and looked in the head
line to see how our man had come out from
behind at the last minute and by sensational
rassie and climacteric putt had cinched the
championship, leaving all the others breaking
their clubs one by one and vowing that there

part. We get them at different places up
town and all over
The fellow was vague as to where he pur-
chased his fur pieces. He evaded this issue.
L asked how many sales he made in q day.
"Oh, we average about or two day."
he replied. Somebody buys every day. Some
days we sell six or seven. During the war
we sold more than we do now. People haven't
got the money they had then. I know one
guy who bought farm on what he made from
this game during the war days You can
make 500 week in good times, and you
are sure of $50 or s40 Some weeks you can
make 5000.
1--WE ask some men to pay $50 for fur.
Others we start in with $50. A few we begin
with an asking price of SIS. Sailors are the
ones who buy quicker than other men, They
won't pay over So or $40, but they generally
buy-especially the ones who have a girl in
the city.
"The commuters quicker TO buy than
the city fellows. But they all think they are
wise guys, and the wiser they think they are
the quicker they buy and the more they pay.
You'd laugh If you saw some of them. They
keep telling US they don't like to buy stolen
goods, while ws haven't said a word about
the goods being stolen"
We had been talking twenty minutes when
another man dressed in the regulation ex-
press helpers apparel approached us.
whats the matter, buddie?" he asked;
don't y'r wanta buy good fur at bargain
price?"
The young fellow explained that wasn't
buying, and when the newcomer, who was
man over forty, heard what we had been talk
ing about, he wanted to know who was and
what ! meant by it. The interview ended
right there.
There are probably 300 men selling these
goat skin pieces on the streets to-day. If the

make me member Of the G. S. B. c., told
him | knew his game and asked him to tell
me some Of his experiences in the goat busi
ness. 1t took a deal of persuasion, but the
fellow finally came through By way Of apology
he said
"You know, it is better than being one of
those stickup guys. People don't have to buy
unless they want to. If they had any
they would know the furs were no good, and
if they boobs enough to get stung they
deserve it. We fellows are not breaking any
law, because we don't say the furs are stolen.
People just imagine they are. And we don't
sell on the street; we always make the buyer
go into a hallway, so that sell indoors.
"Its funny the way some Of these boobs
act. The young married men the fun
niest ones. They pause and wonder If the
fur is junk or of real value. Many Of them
ask US if the thing is no good, because they
wouldn't want to have their wives laugh at
them"
But what are these furs made of and
where do you get thern?" I asked.
II guess most of them are made Of goat

was no use in playing in the same contest with
such miracle man
But our pros name wasn't In the headline
Neither was it in any of the stery of the match
that was contained IN the first five columns.
Nor was the name of any pal of his conspic-
uous on the first page Of the paper.
To our horror we found that the lad who
had won everything, who had cleaned out the
whole bunch of super-golfers that have been
playing super-golf in super-form for the last
tive or six years was named Sarazen, and that
two years ago he was plodding along behind
the seniors at the Apawamis Club, glad to get
So cents round for fielding the balls that
they sent into the rough
Yes, sir! A lad twenty-one years old who
was never super-golfer, who never wrote
book about the game in his life or accepted
testimonial banquet, or get kilograms Of con-
graduation from kings and presidents when
he loaded himself up with trophies.
It's all wrong. It's automatic that nobody
who cannot give scientific diagram Of every
shot as it ought to be played can win these
big matches. That's the way we learned the
game from these big fellows and their writ
ings, and we're playing around under ITS al
ready, although we've only been at it ten years
and haven't had more than fifty lessons or
read more than 900 columns of golf arti-
cles by famous players.
But it's happened just the same. We're
loyal to the old super-pro. of course, and we're
going to stand up for him and back him. but
some time if we get opportunity perhaps
We'll get set of clubs from that caddie boy
and get him to show how he uses them.

THE FUR-BEARING BRONX GOAT

TNHERE are 10000 women who, if they
read this article will rush to their
O. husbands and fash this page with
some such remark as: ooh, what I
know about you!'
Hubby will snatch the paper to learn what
the laughter is about. And as he reads his
face will get red and redder. These men
members Of the G. S. B. Gin other words,
the Goat Skin Buyers Club.
The statesmen? They look like expressmen.
They wear soft flannel shirts, open at the
neck; worn shoes, old trousers and usually
canvas apron.
The mysterious package--the important
part Of the proceedings--is either resting on
a nearby doorstep or is carried by a string in
a careless manner 1t looks like parcel some
one might have sent by express.
While thousands of students in our col
leges labor daily over an assignment in psy-
chology, these statesmen apply the science with
an ease that would please the most exacting
professor. Their stand is near one of three
things-an express wagon, an express Office
or warehouse. The location is no accident
of chance.
The day begins. Crowds from Jersey, Long
Island and the uptown residential districts
pour into the canyons of lower Manhattan.
Men as they pass are singled out.
"Wanta buy bargin? A valuable fur"
fur! The last thing a man would expect
to be asked to buy on busy street. Before
he can make reply the salesman casts hur-
ried glance back to the express wagon, the
express Office or the warehouse. 1t is we'll

BLOCKED FOREIGN
DEeT CANCELLATION

Republican organs, speaking ap-
parently from presidential inspira-
ton, are giving almost daily assur-
ances that the Harding administration
can't, shan't and won't cancel the for
eign debts.
These reassurances are superf1uous
ID view of the laws passed by con-
gress on the subject of the debts,
their term and the rate of interest
to be paid by the debtors. But they
provoke questions. Why all the yo-
alterations from the White House? ?
Who has been pressing the admins
tration to cancel the debts? What
leads the advocates of cancellation
to suppose that this policy would
meet with approval in official quar-
ters? ~
One thing remains perfectly fresh
in the public mind. That is that the
administration fought fiercely for a
law that would have permitted the
president and secretary of the treas
uy to wor ktheirl own will and way
in the matter and manner of collect
ing, deferring, reducing, refunding
and forgiving these billions of debts.
Only the insistence of Democrats ex-
plains the present law, which limits
the maturity Of the leans and fixes
a minimum rate of interest on, them.
1t is the recollection of the admin
istration's former attitude that has
led some one to believe that its Of
fetal representatives would cancel
the debts If they could?

A cuss word on her lips and Gig

Now and then the widow weeps so

mostly sorrows-there is no power on

cause he thinks she is referring to

We never could understand why
any wife should be jealous of her
husbands work-and you would be
surprised to know how many are

his blamed job is SO she can have

You can't blame the husband whose

They used to say that people who
lived together grow to be alike, but
married people these days begin to
grow apart before they get chance

Another nice thing about the wife
who has a baby to nurse is she
doesn't have much time to nurse a

'oc1oseA

The yellow woods that yesterday we're
stiIl
Are stripped by angry winds, and
everywhere
A flaming splendor, an immense
despair
Await the work of winters ancient
will;
Great battles thunder through the
sky until
Among the cornfields, desolate and
bare,
The laborers pause to listen, un-
aware
That angels stand above the burning
hill.
And when the storm is hushed, they
take no heed
OF Gabriel bending near an or
chard-close,
Where one lone robin fingers on to
sing;
Or that more softly than the winged
seed
A Word has fallen; but the torn
earth knows,
And all the autumn meadows dream
of Spring.
