pete at the New Oakland Hills club
OF Detroit and the juniors will battle

Kansas City golfers always have
been strong supporters OF the West

eral times in previous years to Sc
cure the western classic. In the
early attempts they lost because their
courses were not fully developed.
This defect has been eliminated and

Oakland Hills is one OF the newer
courses of the automobile city, but
its development has been rapid, and
II is expected that the accessibility
OF Detroit will attract crowd OF

Dear Sir:
Was Gink Fowler over an amateur: ]

Jim Rice, coach OF the Columbia
university crews, says boxing is the
sport most advantageous in teaching
control Of temper, coordination OF
mind and muscle, fearlessness, cour-
tesy, and poise. Moreover, he adds:
Boxing is one OF the greatest
sports in the world to teach manli-
ness ard control Of temper. A lot OF
people think becauseta illan,is box
er he is therefore bruiser But, this
is not 50. Boxing, in fact, teaches
courtesy. 1t is governed by rules,
which foster the, principle Of give
and take-a principle which certain
~ every young American should
know if he is to be- seif-reliant. !. Box
ing, in my opinion, should be made
compulsory in our schools. No other
sport can give boy, SO much.
Good boxers control their tenn
per. This is essential because the
minute boxer loses his temper his
opponent is sure to slip something
over. Even when hurt boxer keeps

is no use holding back. Why wear
a muzzle at banquet?
When Gink was born the neigh
horhood was as happy as a kitten
drowning in vat of cream. Every,
body bet that he wouldn't live long
enough to break jail. But Gink
was made to bet again. He thought
he was put into the world to wear
out Morris chairs and drink hair
tonic.
Gink used to drink Pinaud's best
lilac extract. Then he would call on
his best friends best girl. He would
cough in her face. 1t was just like
giving hef banquet.
He hadn't been on parole more
than two minutes before he crashed
his school teacher among the nose
with a fence board because teachers
cuff links didn't match. He could
stand for no anachyonisms in haber-
dashery. His mind was tuned so
fine that any discerdant snote in
stereopticon lectdrcs@ would cause
him to squandefs many ..cobblestones
in Roughtown street. riots.
Whenever there was,a parade in
Roughtown Gink rode the white
horse. He was always in the van,
either progress or police. We think
this settles the matter.

Boxing cultivates, poise, for with

Every American should know
how to use his hands, both to pro-

Good boxers make good 'citizens in
times of peace and good soldiers in
times of war. The public must dis

No two types can be more dissim-
