THE MAYO PIVOT
By CHICK EVANS

THE MAYO PIVOT
Golf now has the Endorsement of
Americas foremost surgeon as one
of the greatest health-builders ever
created by man.
If you are getting too hefty around
the waist or If you feel possessed Of
the rundown feeling, try the DR..
Mayo Pivot-and feel the electricity
of rekindled muscles doing their duty.
l have just been informed that DR..
Mayo, of the famous Rochester, MIMI,
brothers, has designed for himself.
and uses daily, the Mayo Pivot. which
consists Of swinging a golf club for
about thirty minutes each morning.
In making the pivot, however. as
the ordiary golfer Rows it, DR.. Mayo
swigs his body around until his waist
muscles are stretched tight.
This Is undoubtedly one of the most
beneficial daily exercises that anyone
can take advantage of. Golfers and
others could we'll follow the example
of the famous surgeon. not only with
benefit to their game. in the case of
golfers. but as we'll to the great bene-
fit of their personal health.
The Mayo Pivot exercises the body
where it most needs exercise. Fat
accumulates at the waist line because
the muscles there are used the least
others who do not perform manual
labor. And fat Is disastrous! DR..
Mayo well knows what fat at the
waistline means. The insurance COM
ranies know 1t and decline to write
policies to those who exceed normal
weight by too much of a margin.
The days when couple hundred
pounds OF extra avoirdupois and
big appetite were deemed the pink of
health are gone forever. Most people
know that fat is dangerous.
One of the reasons golf Is gaining
SO in popular favor Is because 1t not
alone is so interesting as a sport, but
because it is so healthful. The man
who plays not only gets the benefit
of the muscle-hardening that comes
but he gets in few miles of oxygen
ON the hoof, and about the best place
a man can leave his hoof marks Is In
the hills and dales OF the life-giving
out-of-doors.
Unfortunately a great many OF US
golf enthusiasts can at best manage
to play but two or three times week.
w am not even wealthy enough In
time myself to be able to go out
every day, much as should like to
SO we can all adopt the Mayo Pivot
and derive a double benefit from 1t
One reason why many golfers fail to
get as far in golf as they are ac-
tually capable Of doing Is because
the muscles, on golf off days. get so
little exercise that It takes the first
nine holes to get them really loosened
Adopt the Mayo Pivot for the regu-
lar morning habit-and outlive

of Battling Sikh by no less an au-
thor than the Black Bat himself, ad-
diets of bellies lettres may now an
ticipate the true story of tho an
cient cat-and-rat feud by the party
of the second part.
Literature comes unexpectedly
from Sikh like most Of his other con-
tributions to the distress or amuse-
ment OF the world. Yet, ons has
neither the desire nor the right to
belittle off-hand, the compositions OF
a man SO many sided, whose prodiR-
les of saturation, lion-taming, house,
cleaning and orchid plucking have
made him acquainted with fame
everywhere. A man who can get
drunken and raise more hell than
any other man in Paris where the
champion drunkard's and hell-raisers
of 40 nations ply their talents, must
be quite man. He might be able
to write a bigger book or a funnier
book. II not a better book, than any
other.
PresuminE that Sikh did write his
own life story. he must now be

"BARNYARD" GOLF.
TOURNEY IS PLAN
OF B.A.C.OFFICIALS.
Horseshoe Pitching Is Latest
Sport AT The
Club

Announcement was made Saturday
that plans were being effected at the
Birmingham Athletic club for
championship horseshoe pitching
tournament Secretary j. NJ Rob-
erts stated that plans were being
worked out on rules governing the
competition and that the owners of
the vacant lot behind the Tutwiler
hotel on Fifth avenue had given the
course.
"Barnyard golf is one OF the most
interesting pastimes In the world
once a fellow gets Interested" said
Mr. Roberts, and it is our plan to
make this one interesting, the man
being declared champion to be given
an engraved trophy. Some of the de-
tails will have to be worked out
before an official date is set for the
beginning OF the tourney. but the
men l have talked it over with have
stated that a qualifying round should
be held to weed out the impossbles.
After that is done matches wiz be
arranged. and an elimination started
so that championship flight and
other flights may be formed.
The lot decided upon for the stag
ing of the competition is easy Of
access and almost right In the heart
of town. This will make it conyen-
lent for participants and spectators
as well-and don't think there will
be only few spectators. A tourna-
ment of this kind always draws
crowds. and down in Florida, where
the national championships are held
thousands of spectators witness the
games.
Many To Enter.
Many men up at the B. A. C. have
already signified their Willingness,
and in some instances eagerness to
enter, and from tho present outlook
it seems like bunch of participants
will tee off for the qualifying round.
One of the things in favor of Barn
yard Golf is that it Is one or the most
economical games in the world pro-
vidng Of course a fellow doesn't bet
too heavily on his prowess The
shoes will be furnished. l guess this
is the only athletic event in the coun-
try where shoes are furnished the
participants, what?'
Mr.. Roberts also brought to light
the fact that the drive in the eNpan-
sion campaign had gone far above
what was expected OF 1t at this
time. He stated Saturday afternoon
that over $50 members had been
added to the roll thus far, and that
the workers had gone into the cam
paign with a new zeal Herbert l..
Cobbs, president of the organization,
has just returned from the Shrine
convention at Washington, d. c.. has
rolled up his sleeves and gone after
new members to boost his own mark
Another stag program will be one
of the features for the new members
this week, the exact date of the az
fair to be announced within the next
day or so. 1t is understood that sew
eral vaudeville numbers will be put
on the program and that the coming
stag and smoker will be even larger
and more entertaining than the one
recently held.

he wanted to see Jennie blush-which
as a matter Of fact he did; but she

had followed Jim Irwin as he had
followed Lincoln, and Grant, and
Blaine, and Neutrality-suspicious. Jim
Irwin stood for more upward growth

the colonel could see any prospect

he was proud to live In a country

not quite saved, by Jim Irwin. And
he was not so sure about it not be-
