arranged in the most precise order.
But those papers threw no light on
the matter which concerned the de-

There were private letters from

counts paid; there were memoranda

He went out into the passage and
called for the landlady, who at his
request took him up to Stead's bed

amined Stead's personal belongings,
looked into drawers and cupboards.

and taking the deer-stalker hat with
him, he went off to the cottage where
Stead had told him the man whom
he had rescued from the quarry was
lying i'll. He was revolving certain
problems within his own mind as TO
that matter, and he wanted to find
out two or three things for himself.
From his first observations there
was no doubt that Stead had told him
a true story with respect to the be-
ginnings of this second mystery.
For here was the deer-Stalker hat In
his hand, and there was the quarry
from which Stead said the man had
been carried.
He went to the edge at the spot
where the broken fence was, and
looked over; it was a fairly deep
drop to the bottom of the quarry,
and 1t seemed to him a wonder that
the man had not been killed out
right, until he espied an outgrowing
bush of bramble, which had doubt

Billy Evans Says

Of all the major sports, golf is per-
haps the least strenuous. AS some
one has said there is no age limit
to it. 1t can be played from the
cradle to the grave.
Golf is more a sport of relaxation
than one involving strenuousity. 1t
is tonic for the tired business man.
incidentally athletes who star in
more strenuous sports often mix in
little golf to keep them from going
stale.
OF late years golf has taken a
strong hold on majority of major
league ball players. Some of the
stars of the diamond play an excel
lent game. Most of them are long
hitters. Aweakness on the green's is
the prevailing fault of most of the
star ball players who have taken up
golf. They like to hit them. The
short game Jacks appeal, consequent
ly suffers.
During the last two or three years
golf has stirred up lot of agitation
in major league baseball circles. On
some clubs it has been rumored
that golf came in for more consid.
Grafton than baseball. That the
players paid more attention to their
score for s18 holes of morning play
on the golf course than their batting
leverage in the afternoons ball game
l
In fact some managers took tn,
island that golf was detrimental t
the best interests Of Dali playei
during the major league season. TIL,
lobjection was not raised because j
Twas thought that the game itsel
was harmful but rather ON tn
Igrounds that IS holes Of golf in tn
morning tended to take much of tn
stamina of the player from the bal

far as even to place ban on golf.

had asked Criqui the same question
before this big battle in New York,
and he told me that it was because
he had learned the American system
of mitigating and had copied the
American fighters style of putting
the shoulder and body into his
punches instead of merely tapping
his rivals.
With Gibbons the answer was diff.
ferent. Sa id Tommy: Until four
years ago l was fighting under the
style and system of another Fighter
my brother, Mike. His favorite blow
is the right cross over the other
fellows guard AFTER feinting his
rival into lead.

Putting Is Trick Golfer
Must Learn For Himself

ference between winning and losing
Il championship.
This | can say about putting,
however: The man who will learn
to hit his puts with all the firm
ness that the nature of the putting
surface will allow, and who will
keep his body absolutely still during
the stroke has much more chance
of becoming good putter than one
who allows his body to move with
the backward and forward swing Of
the putter.
Some golfers use wrist stroke
almost entirely in putting and some
make it a still-arm, pendulumlike
stroke; some stand firmly on both
| feet and some set themselves we'll
| forward on their left foot. To my
way of thinking, it is entirely up to
| the individual to choose what to
him is the most natural way to
stand and to use his putter.
Putt your own natural way, don't
sway, study the green to make up
your mind whether it is fast or slow

daily bread.
The one great obstacle to peace is
the legacy of hate left to every man,
woman and child in Europe by the
World War. This and the natural
suspicion each nation has for any
peace project put forward by any
other European nation.
The one great need of Europe is
for some great moral force to make

things stand now, there is not
disinterested power among them.
Each nation is out for itself and
itself alone, and all the rest know
it.
Look to U. s.
The League of Nations has done
much good in Europe despite un-
heard of handicaps. But it is power
less in this instance for the simple
reason that there is not one out
standing member Of the league
which is not, at the same time, up
to it's eyebrows in the quarrel
itself.
No impartial observer can journey
through Europe as l did, and talk
with political leaders over there, all
f! the time retaining perfectly open
mind, without realizing the latent
influence the United States has for
peace in Europe and the world-in
! the league or out of it.

tween the more selfish powers, the
world would long ago have settled

There is question constantly
arising on the putting green, which
seems to be complicated with vari-
Gus definitions and rulings. Two
players are about to putt, one is ly-
ing nearer the cup than the other
and in direct line. One player
says "the ball must be lifted to al
low the other player to hole out. ;"
The other player says the ball must
remain where it is, and if the one
who is further from the hole, hav-
ing the honor to putt first, should
strike the ball between his ball and
the cup he is pcnalized a stroke.
What is the correct ruling for this
play?
The above situation depends fully
on whether it is medal or match
play. In medal play before putting
you may ask the player to lift OF
play, as he may choose, when the
ball is nearer to the hole, or he may
lift or play without. being asked

ball, if struck, must be replaced.
In match play if your ball strikes

incur a penalty and he may replace
his ball or not as he chooses, before
another stroke is played.

Gibbons, Like Criqui, Always Been Able To
Put EN- To Sleep

Taper who outpointed his man un-
til the last two years Of his ring
career. Then he suddenly broke
forth with a haymaking wallop that
left trail of victims helpless on
the canvas.
Criqui's string of kayocs is hardly
as impressive as that of Gibbons,
who, like Criqui, will go into the
ring for his biggest battle very
much the under-dog in the dope.
No Two Alike
Gibbons has fought 81 battles in
the last three years and has won all
but four Of them by the kayo route
Before that his sleep wallops were
only about six in all in eight years
in the ring.
SO naturally the first question
put to Gibbons on landing here was
how he accounted for the sudden
blossoming out as a kay6 battler.
