"A concluded Ethel, to which John
replied: VERY WELL" and went on his
way.
This was the conclusion of one of
those little atmospheric disturbances
known as 'lovers' quarrels." They had
just drifted into it--as sometimes hap
pens. When they came to think 1t over
afterward neither Of them could tell
Just exactly how 1t started or just
what they had been quarreling about;
bat each was sure that the other had
been in the wrong.
Why two young people as sincerely
In love with each other as Ethel
Barnes and John Warland should quar-
rel in this absurd manner 1t Is hard
to say.
OF course Ethel and John were very
miserable after they had thus parted
in anger. And Just how obstinate they
were, too, you can imagine-how de-
termined each was that the other
should speak frst" That there was
to be no more speaking between them
did not enter the heads Of either party
to the disturbance
Ethel and John were two obstinate
young people. The fact that they
were much in love with each other
predlcated the final yielding Of one Of
them. Among the other desperate
things that Ethel did in the disturb
ance Of mind caused by her quarrel
with John was to buy small car-or
rather she persuaded her father to
buy one for her-and to learn to drive
1t, after fashion.
At this stage Of the game Harry
Benson came into 1t. He and Ethel
were old schoolmates, and she fre-
quently gave him rides In her car.
And such was Harry's admiration for
Ethel that he was willing to risk life
and limb for the privilege Of sitting
beside her while she did weird things
with the steering wheel Of the
machine. 1t is just possible that
Ethel figured that seeing Harry en-
sconced in the car by her side would
make John jealous
AS matter Of fact, 1t did make
John Jealous; so Jealous that, fully
recognizing Harry's peril, he did not
In the least care what happened to
him. He hoped, however, that, In
the impending smashup, whenever II
should take place, Ethel would not be
hurt. Yes, he told himself, in spite of
the manner in which she had treated
him, he sincerely hoped she would es-
cape unhurt. If Harry Benson only
knew anything about driving ma
chine now, he thought, It would be dif-
ferent; he would not have worried 80
much. But Harry did not know, and
EthePs driving was certainly far from
that Of an expert. AS a matter Of
fact. had Harry been the best driver
In the world. John would still have
been disturbed at seeing him in the
car with Ethel. John had a machine
Of his own In which, before their
"fareup," he and Ethel had had many
long and pleasant rides together. and
he never took his seat in 1t now with
out signing. That machine was filed
with memories which would not be
sllebt.

PADDOCK TRIES
To ARRANGE
B|GRACE
Willing to Meet Fasteners in
15O-Yard Dash in Chicago
April ~.
By RAY j. SMITH.

LOS ANGELES, March S.-Aban-
doning hope of running in the
worlds collegiate championships in
Paris in May, Charles Paddock. pre-
mier Splinter, came forward today
with a new plan which he is conf
dent will meet with the approval of
Eastern sprinters.
Paddock proposes that a special
sprint be arranged to be held in Chi
cago April IA, a date that will find
the University of Southern Califor-
MIA team in the Windy City on its
way to New York before sailing for
France
In order to give 1O0-yard men as
well as 220-yard runners a chance to
compete for the honors, Paddock sug-
gests that the distance be made $50
yards. He has wired Walter Ecker
sail, nationally known authority on
collegiate athletics, asking him to
make arrangements for the race, Sc
cure the entries and then act as
starter and referee of the event.
Paddock announced today that
this will positively be his last year
for competition. He re-entered the
University of Southern California
few months ago to complete his
course and get one last fling at the
Fasteners who have made every
effort to belittle his records and his
work on the cinder path.

JOE RAY BEATS
R|TOLA WITH
EASE
Jimmy Connolly Finishes Third
in Bishop Mile, Higgins
Winning.

NEW YORK, March 8.-True to
his prediction, Joie Ray, the Illinois
A. G. flash. made good his threat
to make Willie Ritola look silly If
he ever got him on the same track
with him again. in the 5,000-meter
special at the Western A. A. games
in Twenty Regiment Armory
before upwards of 10000 spectators.
Ray found it necessary to estab-
fish a brand new record in order to
secure revenge against Ritola for
the defeat of last week The new
mark is 14:54 as against Ritola 8
record of 1901 1-5. /. Prim, a team
mate Of Ritola's, finished third
last night.
Jimmy Connolly, OF Georgetown,
was dismal failure in the Bishop
Mile" getting no better than third
place. Walter Higgins, Columbia,
took his event easily in the ordi-
nary time of ABB, with Walter
Mauny, Of Buffalo, second.
The tactics employed by Ray
were very different from those
which he followed when Ritola de-
feated him. Then he made all the
pace from the start to finish. Last
night, he followed the pace of the
Finn until one lap from the finish
where he took command. He passed
Ritola as If the latter We're stand
ing still. With each stride he drew
further and further away from
Ritola, scoring a decisive triumph.
There is already talk of ar
ranging a third meeting between
Ray and Ritola.

Star Shoot Has Left
Winning Progeny
To Turf

Star Shoot has been dead for
nearly four years-but his
greatness as a racing sire lives
after him.
The name of the English
bred stallion, which was i'm
ported to this country in 1902,
appears among the thirty lead
ing sires of 1922. His sons
and daughters won ninety-five
races last year, we're in the
money $3.50 times in TIC starts,
and gathered in $114,514 for
their owners.
The first of the Star Shoot
progeny went to the races in
1905. Since then they have
won 1880 contests in 1885
starts; been second 1850 times,
and gathered in 1880 thirds.
Their total winnings have
reached the remarkable figure
of $1,755,793.

The Washington times., 1923-03-08

To prove that it is not necessary
the experiment has been tried by
professionals of keeping their eyes
closed while swinging at the ball.
In most cases their strokes have
been as successful as they would
have been with their eyes open. 1t
was because they. knew just where
the ball was in the minds eye.
1t is only natural that, when
one tries to hit anything, it is nee
essary to see the object which is
to be hit, but the mind can be
trained in golf SO that it is not
necessary to strain the eyesight
every time one makes a shot.
After playing golf a number Of
years, the player should have
reached the stage where a glance
would let him know just where
the ball is.
The golfer of today will tell you
that the game has progressed 50
fast that many of the old-time bits
of advice which players were sup
posed to follow religiously are a
bit out Of date, and that new ones
should be substituted.
There is now a wide difference
of opinion about the follow
through. The beginner used to fol-
low this principle of the game so
closely that at the finish Of his
stroke his club would be wound
about his head regardless of
whether or not he hit the ball.
His whole attention was centered
on making his club go through a
certain motion, when, as a matter
of fact, his mind should have been
concentrated on hitting the ball,
which, after all, is more essential
than where the club head is at the
finish of a stroke.

The "as it should be" had a
decided pre-Volstead color. Accord
ing to the Blue and White
mentor, ale and beer should form
part of the regular training fare
of all crew men.
1.-The English use beer and ale
and they put out good crews" he
explained. Beer for lunch gives
the men good appetite, and puts
flesh on their bones.
1.-THE English rOwers drink a
pint to two pints of good beer at
lunch time and finish off with
pint Of wine. Who couldn't row
ON that?"
It would be good thing for the
men and a good thing for the
coaches. too"
These and similar statements ex-
pressed the view of Mr.. Rice in no
uncertain terms. He added that he
didn't give his Columbia athletes
any liquor in their meals now, as
he coundn't get the right kind OF
stuff.
THE beer we get now wouldn't
do them any good, though we have
used a little now and then after
races to bring the men around if
they are too fatigued."
The Blue and White oarsmen
are handicapped by the climate
of New York, and viii probably
be kept indoors for two or three
weeks more.
Neither Columbia nor Penn have
rowing tank, though there is
some talk about establishing one
under the north stand of the
stadium on Franklin Field next
year.
Columbia is using a new oarlock
this season, which Coach Rice
thinks will help them somewhat.
The new lock is proof against the
oar slipping from the lock, and
the rover catching a crab"
Yale has also equipped it's shells
with this new lock, and Penn may
put it in later.
