SMALL PRIZES FOR
GOLF Frs OFFERED
National Open Championship
Worth Only $500 to Winner
in Annual Purse Offered

NEW YORK, July Il. - The
spectacle Of nearly 400 golfers,
comprising the cream of the pro-
fessional and amateur talent of
America, gathered during the past
week in the national open cham
1ionship at the Inwood Country
club on Long Island, once again
emphasized the amazing inconslst-
ency under which this game is
laboring. With its investment OF
many millions of dollars in club
houses equipment and what not
this nation wide sport sees its open
champion each year win a prize OF
$500, A fourth rate pugilist who
never gets past the semi-flnal stage
often receives that amount Of
money for his half hour entertain
ment, whether good, bad or indif-
ferent.
The professional golfer who may
travel thousands Of miles and spend
hundreds of dollars for the mere
chance of trying to qualify, stands
to lose both time and money, II
he fails to qualify it is total
loss, not only in money; there is
an injury to his reputation as well.
| In Great Britain where money is
not nearly so plentiful as in this
country purses are hung up that
total several times the amount Of
! fercd at the big event here. The
United States Golf association con-
siders $500 ample reward for th'
champion, and it has gone still fur
rther by recommending that mlno-
associations and cubs staging cpeI
meetings, limit their prize lists.

THE INTERPRETATION

B0nC-headed work on me part
of the coacher created the situa-
ton. He tried to umpire as well
as coach, with poor results.
When the runner originally on
first reached third base on the
short fly, which fell fair, he be-
came the legal occupant Of that
basec. When he ran back to sec
ond, standing on that bag did not
exempt him from being put out, as
he was legally the occupant OF
third. When touched with the bal
even though standing, on second
he was out. x

THE PLAY

Two are out, with runner on
first, in the last half Of the ninth.
The latter hit a short fly to
right field. The ball fell safe
close to the foul line
The runner on first had rounded
third, when the catcher decided
the ball was foul He so advised the
runner. The runner started to cut
across the di5mond to first, His
teammates finally made him under
stand the ball was fair.
In the meantime the ball had
been thrown to the third baseman.
Realizing there was no chance to
get back to third, the runner from
the center of the diamond dashed
for second. The batsman reached
first in safety.
The ball was thrown to the sec
ond baseman, who touched the run
ner originally on first, who had
advanced to third and then ran
back to second. The runner was
touched with the ball while on the
bag.

SCOUTING AIDS LETTERS

At the Kalihi leper receiving sta tion, Honolulu, the scout movement has 20 members.
 The idea of forming this troop orig mated with the superintendent of the station who says: Scouting has per formed a miracle among all in the set clement. IL has cultivated spirit ot cheerfulnesss and a desire to be help ful. It has given the boys something worth while to do, and has proved wonderful source Of entertainment to the men and womer who are here.
 Scouting has made these lads thrifty. Before tue advent of the movement many of the boys spent their money as fast as they could on trifles which peddlers would leave at the gate Now they save to buy their uniforms and equipment"
 According to the local executive, ev- cry one of these boys will in time be paroled-cured The troop is com posed at 19 Hawaiians and one Japa- nese. The scoutmaster, EnOch Aku, Hawaiian, twenty-two years of age, Is a man of the highest type. Last sum- mer the very day the annual boy scout camp opened, Enoch Aku was paroled from the station. He went to camp and after the vacation period was over, declared his intention of spending his time in furthering the work of scouting among the shut-in boys at Kalihi.
 Since the formation of the troop each week, scoutmasters from HOno- lulu take turns in giving instruction at the station in the various branches of scouting. Between the visiting scoutmasters and the boys is net ting, but it is simple matter for the boys to follow instructions in spite O this barrier.
 For their daily good turns" the boys aid their brother scouts and the other patients, and take care of the ground about the station.

Viruin Islands Export SuQar.

The most important agriculture ir the Virgin islands is sugar, of which approximately ten thousand tons was exported in 1919. In 1919 the govern ment succeeded in opening the Porto Rican market to cattle from the is lands. About s30,0o0 worth of cattle were exported, and it is thought that the cattle-raising industry will eventu- ally become an important one. Expor- tation of cattle to Porto Rico formerly was prohibited on the ground that the Virgin islands were in the tick-intested area.

ish to keep the ten cents.
 People are always asking me why 1 don't quit tobacco, and I've always noticed that the people who regard my little innocent habit with disgust, have worse ones of their own. Why 5on't you quit wearing sidewhiskers. when you must know that they Jar the nerves of the fastidious, and make you look like something that should he in museum? What sense is there in wearing sideboards? I'd De the last to speak slightingly of an intirm- ity or 'deformity. Ii you had q game leg or Wry neck. my heart would be full of sympathy for you. Such aftlic- tions should not be m0cked or held up to scorn by any man; but nobody needs to wear sidewhiskers. It's some thing that can easily be helped. You shouldn't make caustic remarks about the tobacco habit until you have had those fire escapes removed.
 "Old Doolittle asks me about three times a week what pleasure I find in using tobacco. I have explained the matter to him repeatedly, but nothing I say seems to make any impression on him. He clings to the belief that smoking is on level with robbing a church or defrauding widow.
 "IIe doesn't use tobacco, but he has about every other bad habit you can think of. When it comes to spelling the truth he could give cards and spades to the whole Ananias family. I try to be reasonably truthful. never spring fish story unless it will serve a good purpose. But Doolittle will go to all sorts of trouble to hand you a falsehood. If he says he has the toothache, you may rest assured it's a sprained ankle that's bothering him. I contend that it's worse to sit on the truth and hold it down than it is to load a good old briar and blow out a few reams of smoke.
 Aunt Julia is always featuring me about the tobacco habit. 1 have said it hundred times, and I say it again, that my aunt is all wool and yard wide, and you would travel far before finding a better female, but if you think she has no bad habits you have another guess coming. Two or three years ago she read some English sO- ciety novels. Those stories are full of tea parties. A man reading them would think the Britishers spent all their time at tea fights
 Aunt Julia thinks that anything British is entirely proper, and she got the idea that you can't be fashionable unless you consume a certain amount of tea. So she blew herself for the herb, and began drinking it. At first she said it tasted like collie medicine but she persevered. and now she's the champion middle weight tea drinker of this burg. I won't say anything about the money it costs. She insists upon having imported tea, and won't be satisfied with any home grown sub- stitutes, although sage tea is far bet ter and costs next to nothing
 ''She gets on tea jag every time she has company, and then for two or three days she has a hangover, and her nerves are a sight to be seen, and l just wish you had to live in the same house with her at such times. Then you would be willing to admit that there are worse things than smoking
 Talking, for instance" sighed the professor.

 "I'm glad to hear that" said [ Il e low-hrowed man. "Some peo- pie go to great expense engaging advance agents, but I never be lieyed in useless extraya gance. If a ten cent pack age of tobacco will do as good service as d high salaried advance agent. I'd be fool

RIP VAN Wrinkle
SLEEP RECALLED
ENGLISH TOM LINCOLN OF GAL.
LATIN COUNTY, RECLUSE
FOR 81 YEARS.
Had Never Seen a Motion Picture
Show and Had His Second Auto
mobile Ride When He Went to
Bozeman the Other Day.

| Rip Van Wrinkle had nothing on
English Tom" Lincoln of Taylor's
Fork, Gallatin county. Rip slept for
| 20 years, but Tom, although sleep
| ing only the normal number of hours
of each "a, has kept himself apart
from the world and its advances in
science and transportation and every
thing else that goes to mark the last
third of century.
English Tom,' as his friends call
him, has been in Bozeman for the
first time since 1892, despite the fact
that he has all this time lived not
many miles away. Shortly after he
arrived he met George DER, and inn
mediately began to make inquiry
about friends whom he had known
in the old days, and all of whom had
been claimed by death since last
Tom saw the city. He was taken
for a drive about town in Mr.. Dier's
automobile, this being the second
time in his life that he had had an
auto ride. He had never seen a
picture show and watched the devel-
opment of the story in the pictures
with all of the delight of child.
Mr.. Lincoln was born within hear
ing of Bow Bells, London, was edu-
Gated in a London university and
received a degree in mining engineer
ing. Thirty-one years ago he came
to this country and went up the Gal
latin on prospecting expedition.
What happened is not known, but
he soon gave up his work as a mining
expert and settled down to the life
of trapper. There he has spent
the days in trapping and fishing.
Tom claims that he is So years old,
but Game Warden Frank Marshall,
who has known him since his boy
hood, insists that he must be 80.
There was only one incident in his
visit which left sting of regret
that he had come back to civil
ization. He met man who claimed
to be from Three Forks and who Of
fered to secure him gallon of whis-
ky for 81. Tom, unused to the ways
Of the days of prohibition, fell for it
and that was the last of his 81.
Now Tom has gone back to his
mountain home-for how long he did
not say. He was glad to get back
to the hum of the city, and to see
again a railroad and a train, after
these 81 years. But he wanted to
get back to his life in the open, back
TO where he is not cramped by the
rush of strangers and he is glad he
can do that, too.
