E. II. FITCH HEADS <
REPUBLIC RUBBER co.

NEW YORK, August 27. With
the elimination of his duties as re
ceiver for the Republic Rubber
company, c. H. Booth has decided
to relinquish his present position as
president of the Republic Rubber
company of Youngstown, Ohio.
It was the earnest wish of the
financial interest of the new com
pany that Mr.. Booth continue his
active association with the Repub-
| lie Rubber company until all the
details of reorganization had been
definitely decided and until the new
organization was satisfactorily
launched. That time has come and
f. H. Fitch, former vice-president
and the man whom Mr. Booth chose
for his right hand man during the
receivership, has been made presl-
dent of the Republic Rubber COM
pany, to carry on the constructive
policies established by Mr.. Booth.
This announcement follows a di-
rectors meeting held at Youngs-
town, Ohio, early this week.
The Republic Rubber company
was recently sold to the Lee Rub
Der & Tire Co., of Philadelphia and
New York.

Two players ar con the green
close to the hole. A is about u
inches from the cup while B is
about 18, A who is nearest, puts
first and holes out. B then calls at
tention to the fact that A had err
red in putting first, since B was
farthest from the hole. B claims
the hole because of this slip on the
part of A. What about it?
B has no claim to the hole. He
can merely recall the stroke, and
force A, who has holed out, to re-
rplace the ball as near as possible
to- its original position, whereup-
on B has the right to putt, and 4
must again go through the formality
of holing out. There is penalty at
tached to such a mistake.
Please state the position in which
Bobby Jones has finished in the va
rious national open vents in which
he has taken part
Three years ago Jones finished
eighth in his first open tournament
In his second attempt for national
honors he came in fifth. Last yeai
at Skokie he tied for second. This
year having nothing to shoot at but
first place he went out and won the
championship. The showing that
Jones has made in the national
open is considered most remarkable.
Player drives from the tee into
the rough and after a five-minute
search is unable to find his ball. He
elects to consider it a lost ball and
again drives from the tee and once
more goes into the rough. In look
ing for the second ball he finds the
first ball. has he right to play the
first ball and suffer no penalty for
the scond shot?
Once a ball is regarded as a lost
ball, it can no longer be considered
in play. The player must find his
second ball and play it.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-09-22

For this latest motion picture sem sation, "One Exciting Night" which has been announced as the feature attraction for next week at the Tria- non Theatre, D. W. Griffith, master maker of photoplays, has taken for his cue the increasing popularity of the last two or three years of the stage melodrama and has produced a mystery picture par excellence.
 In this newest of Griffith films. the great director gives five of the six elements that go to make up ef- fective mystery-secreted treasure, personal disappearance, puzzling homicide. hidden identity, and the return of the averaging spirit.
 There Is as sweet and dainty a love story as ever was filmed; there is mystery g6lore-mystery till the audience sits breathl ess-and then comes relief from the suspense in the form of tho most delightful and laughter provoking comedy from Romeo Washington, a wonderful black face character who finds him self torn between love of a drsky maid and fear of the peering eyes and stealthy figures that creep in and out arc seen everywhere, it is said.
 In this picture MT. Griffith has departed entirely from the heavy and spectacular and gone in purely for audience entertainment in the way of love, laughter, mystery, thrills and thrills. There are no great mob scenes, no historical mo-
