After four British championships and other tournaments on the other side of the Atlantic, l think l am qualified to pass Judgment on golf as played in the two countries. l am not going to criticize the players over there so much as I am going to com ment on the style of play.
 We believe in america that the most valuable shot in the game Is the pitch to the green. It can certainly save a lot of lost strokes. If one is adept at pitching with the back spin he has a valuable asset indeed American golfers are better at this than the players over there. Of course, we have the stoppum club with the ribbed face in America and this saves us lot of trouble. This club. although originated in England was barred from tournaments over there. They believe that any cut on the ball should be accomplished with a regular smooth-faced mashie. Some markings may be permitted, but these are slight in comparison I'ith the ridges of the ordinary stoppum.

 When we played at St. Andrews
 this club was in popular use, but since then it has been taboo. We all
 had to change our clubs last year, but the result was just the same. won the title, Jim Barnes was tied for second, and Jock Hutchison, who has always been a master performe CT with the ribbed club, was fourth. Jock showed that he could use a | smooth-face club just as well. We proved that we could play the shot l just as well for all practical pur- l poses. I think the shot is easier with ribbed club, however. and I am | sure all of the boys will agree with l me in this respect.

Cotton Experiences
 4 Week Of Aduances

NEW ORLEANS, August 11-It was an advancing market in cotton this week, the close showing net gains of 135 to 142 points. Highest prices were made In the early ses- sions, after which there were reac- tions, but in the late trading the market came back strongly.
 At the highest the trading posi- tlons were IA to 162 points over the close of the preceding week; at the lowest they still were IT to 36 points over. In the spot department prices gained 100 points In the net results, middling closing at 24c a pound, against 21.13c on the close of this week last year.
 The main reason for the advance was the droughthy conditions pre- vailfng in Texas and Oklahoma, al- though excessive moisture in DOT tions of the eastern belt and conse- quent increase in insect damage also helped values. Reactions of the middle part of the week were due to scattered showers in Texas and Ok lahoma. but when, at the end of the week, 1t was seen that they were not continuing, there was a resumption of the buying movement. Complaints of premature opening of bolls on a very extensive scale came from Texas and this, by some traders, was considered the most unfavorable fea- ture of the week.
 Some of the strength on the clos ing session of this last week was duo to the forecast of fair weather fol every state In the western belt fol over Sunday, and it is generally con. sidered that if the market this com. l ing week opens on continued droutf 1 it will be forced to still higher levels Rains would have the effect of check, l Ing the advance, but many circular: l on the weekend warned the trade
 that If rainy spell should set II over the western cotton belt it would take only a very few days to brinl in crop complaints of the worst char acter. and. moreover. it was pointed out that rains in the southern half o
 Texas would do world of damag, to the grade of open cotton beside preventing the gathering of the crop

TWO SUSPENSIONS MAKE WEEKS BOND
 MARKET DULL ONE
Prices Generally Firm, A.
 though Net Changes ReIa- lively Unimportant

NEW YORK, August. 12.-(By. As sociated Press. D-Last weeks bond market was a dull affair. Business was suspended for 90 niruH es Wed nesday during the period of the fu- neral services for the late President Harding in Washington and all day Friday, the national day ot mourn ing. These two suspensions coupled with the absence on vacation or many active traders, com bined to make the weeks transaction un- usIa ally small
 Prices generally were firm. al- though net changes on they week were relatively urimporta Ut,
 The total of new bond issues of fered during the week, S3,450,000. was the smallest of the year. It compares with $36,3p9,I00 the pre- vious wek.
 Little new business is expected during the next few weeks bank CTS having offerings inl view indicat- ing they will defer the Financing un- til a larger proportion of investors have returned from their vacations.
 Reports persist that several oil companies are destrouS of floating bond issues to obta h1 additional funds for construction SG storage fla cilities to care for the continued over production in crude oil and gasoline. However, bankers state nothing will be done in that regard for the im- mediate future.
 A revival of interest in the. re- ported Argentine loan has been cat sed by the report that European bankers are in the field for the- same loar.
 The New Swiss government per cent three-year notes, traded in on a when issued basis, on the New York curb, sold fractiionally under the of fering price of 97.29, probably sym pathetic reflection of lower foHign exchange rates.

, player because he used to put a cut on the ball and check the run. He was told at St. Andrews of Jock Hutchison's ability to make a ball Jump backward, but admitted later that he thought it was myth. He said that he would never have be- lieved it possible if he had not seen it.
 The British golfers play mostly the ascending shot, which runs quite litle when it hits the green. They also use the run-up shot much more than we do. The back spin Is used by Mitchell and Duncan now and it las become a valuable addition to their game. The ascend shot means hitting the ball on the upward swing; that is, just as the club is ascending after arriving at the bot tom of the arc. The back spin shot must be hit on the downward stroke to give it the backward twist. This Is the same principle as in putting English on billiard ball. The masse shot starts the ball spinning back ward, although it has bene hit for ward, although 1t has been hit for learn the back spin principle thor oughly.

SETS RECORD PACE
 THROUGH CHILLY CHANNEL WATERS
Enrique Tirobocchi, Argentin- can Swimmer, NegotiateS
 Distance In Is Hours

DOVER, England. August 12.-(By Associated Press. )-Enrique Tiraboc- chi Argentine swimmer, landed here at 12:33 o'clock this afternoon after swimming the English channel from Cape Griz-Nez, France, in the record time of 16 hours and 33 minutes.
 After IS hours and 10 minutes in the water. Charles 10th of Boston abandoned his attempt to swim the channel at 6:45 o'clock this morning. He was within two and one-half miles of the English coast when he gave up.
 With the landing of Tirabocchi the channel twice has been conquered within a week by American swim mers.
 Sets New Record.
 With fortunate turns in the tide. Tirabocchi took nine hours less for his Journey from the French side of the waterway to Dover than Henry Sullivan of Lowell Mass, required last week to traverse the route In the opposite direction. The Argentlnian also cut hours and 12 minutes off the record set In the 70s by the first man to swim the channel, Capt. Mathew Webb, an Englishman, who later lost his life in trying to nego- tiate the rapids at Niagara Falls.
 The great effort of Tirabocchi
 
 the Argentine's feet touched the bot tom n few yards from the pebble covered beach of Dovr he fell into the arms of members of the crowd that had cheered the finishing strokes of his trudge across the 22h mile stretch of water. All around him there were people jabbering in Eng fish. French, Italian and Spanish. but Tira bocchi did not hear them, for his ears were filled with water and he was "all in" He recovered rapidly, however.
 At 33 minutes past noon Tiraboc- chi's feet touched earth again for the first time since he had taken the water at o'clock last night. Be- cause of his speed in crossing, Ti- rabocchi had to contend with only three tides, while Sullivan had five to fight. Thus, while Sullivan's course Is described by the letter "W," plus one additional line, Tlrabocchi's is described by the letter ON"
 Like Sullivan, the Argentine will receive S1,000 for his feat and also a gold medal from the Channel Swim ming club.

BACKSPIN PITCH SHOT IS
 MOST VALUABLE---HAGEN

greens were fairly open. There were traps to be sure, but they were not as close -1 the pin as we would like to have them in America.
 Pitching Over Troops. .. .
 Necessity is the mother of inven- tion. Naturally, we began to devise ways and means of playing q shot Il at would stick on the green after pitching the ball over a trap The back spin shot was forced upon us in this respect as we found more than half of the greens guarded by bunkers or water hazards.
 The British golf public was a bit skeptical when Barnes and myself first played in England with Duncan and Mitchell as opponents. They did not believe that the back spin shot was as valuable as we had pictured it and one critic, A. c. NJ. Groom. was not convinced that the ball could be stopped short without any roll. At Addington Park he asked us to dem onstrate, and We had to show him the shot repeatedly before he would believe that it was not a mere ac- cident. He said that he was all for going to the meting at St, An drews and advocating a floater be- cause the small heavy hall could not be managed on the approach to a difficult green.

THE BEST COAL AND COKE

Wherever good foundry coke Is used in the souptheast and the south west and as far as the Pacific coast the name of the Yolande Coal and Coke company is held in high esteem. It's various grades of coke, black smithing coal, steam coal and coking coal are relied on because they all ways come up to expectations and the representations of the manage ment. The company is headed by J.. B. McClary, q pioneer coal and coke operator, and one of the most modern and progressive of industrial experts in the Birmingham district. The Yo- lande company has been distin- guished by conservatism of manage ment and due regard for the interests of it's customers. It has reputation for playing fair always, and that has lead to permanency of customers. The Yolande has many customers on it's books who have been large and steady takers of it's products for many years and are still taking its cokes and coals. There is none bet ter than Yolande coal and coke, which has the inGorsement of quality from the very highest sources.

North Side Christian church SER
mon was preached by the president
OF the Wyoming Christian Mission
airy society who is also the superin-
tendent OF missions for the Christian
church in the state. He is express
ing great pleasure in being again
permitted to spend n few weeks in
Casper while holding a SERIES vi pro-
tracted meetings in the church at
II and United streets. He Is well
known by most Of the active relg-
ious workers Of the city as Rev.
Charles C. Stout, the founder OF
the First Christian church now wor-
shipping in their church home on
Grant and Linden streets.
In MIR. Stout's sermon he sad.
There had been isme contentious
among the members Of the church IN
Corinth. There had been conten-
lions as to certain gifts. attain
ments, faculties, abilities. position
and offices. There had also been
some sharp controversies as to pref
renee reFr ding the ministers who
were moro ~ less prominently be
fore the public in those days. Some
unnamed person OF a prominent fam
lily in the church reported this by
letter to the Apostle Paul who wise
ly wrote a carefully prepared letter
in which he set forth the facts and
fo'lies of such matters and in n
very logical way led the minds =
the readers to the wonderful climax
which he reached in the thirteenth
chapter of his first letter to the Cor
inthians.
This chapter is a climax in the
apostolic teaching on the subject of
love. In his arguments he shows
the essential nature of faith and
dwells reverently upon the riches OF
hope but declares that though there
'abideth faith. hope and love, but
the greatest of these is love- Love

defined or described except in it's
own language. for II has a language
all its own and that is the language
