THIS AT
DINNER

An Englishman staying at a
Nevada ranch suggested that his
host should take a walk with
him to a mountain that looked
close to hand. The Englishman
was deceived in the appearance of
the distance owing to the rarity
Of the atmosphere. After walking
several hours the mountain
seemed no nearer.
Returning by a different route,
the pair came upon an irrigated
field.
At the first ditch the English
man sat down and began to re.
move his shoes. :,
What are you going to do?"
inquired the Nevadan.
The Hnglishman contemplated
the ditch, and said, "Why, I'm
going to swim this blooming
river"

WAR BETWEEN THE Miss Cecil Leitch Is MAJOR AND MINOR Warm in Praise For LEAGUES NOW ON Miss Alexia Stirling


 LONDON. Jan 9.-Miss Cecil Leitoh, the former British woman golf champion. is at present In the hands of a specialist for treatment of her arm, and she has said recently that she could not define her pros poets in the matter of playing in che next ladies' championship games. Regarding her tour last summer in Canada and the United States, Miss Leitch declared 1t was purely of private nature. She was particularly I impressed with women's golf in the Dominion. Of the outstanding players in Canada, Miss Ada Mack enzie and Miss Pepler were probably the greatest.
 Miss Alex Stirling was undoubt- edly the greatest exponent of wom- nes golf in the United States, in spite of the fact that she curtailed her play during 1922. She was the finest ''short maker" over there. She had more shots almost than any other player. Miss Leitch considers that the majority of women's golf courses in the United States ana Canada are easier than those in Eng land. There Is no undulation there as in England, and virtually no wind. The courses, however. are very much better kept than in this country.
