Consult Your Banker,

If you are inexperienced in invest
ing money. it is very unwise to plunge
into unfamiliar ventures. You will
profit by consulting some one who is
familiar with such affairs. Consult
your banker as to the requirements
as to bank investments; what are
safe for their funds are very certain
to be safe for yours. 1t is always
well, moreover, to seek his advice
and counsel.

PARIS. September 10.-The wheat

would be sufficient.
Exact figures as to the crop are not

Is general agreement in the grain

in quantity and quality.
Large quantities of wheat in north

WILLING MAKES
EXCELLENT

Walker Cup Member Loosens
Up at Columbia and Shows
Real CALDER
By ROSS L. CONKLIN.

Doctor o. F. Willing, the Pacific
Coast member OF the Walker cup
team from the United States, ex.
emplified his name on the Colum.
bia country club course. The sharp.
shooting westerner HE'D himself to
Columbia just a few hours after
he had arrived in the city, and
what he did there was more than
enough to indicate why he was
picked for the team.
DR.. Willing took the first nine
holes to take the kinks out of
his legs, but after that he PLAYED

in threesome with Guy M.
Standifer and Freddy Mcleod, pro

rair forty on the first nine, and
then. for the second nine. after
becoming acclimitated to the
course. shot "a. which Is one under
par.
Such performance for the first
showing on the Columbia course
Is nothing short of remarkable,
and it elicted much favorable com.
ment from other players.
A birdie on the thirteenth and
another on the eighteenth gave
Doctor Willing his neat incoming
score, and the only hole ON the
last nine where he was at all off.
was the fifteenth, where he was one
stroke over par. This came about
through the medium Of a missed
second shot.
Golf fans who would like to take
a peek at the Pacific coast wonder.
may see him either on the Column
bia course early In the day, or
later at the Burning Tree course.
After a short sojourn in this city
Doctor Willing. who is ACCOMPANIED
by Mrs. Willing, will go on to
Garden City. New York. where the
Walker Cup team from England
will be met in the international
matches.
Judging by the golf ability Of
Doctor Willing, the Britishers will
have more than the usual DOGGY TO
compete with. The American looked
in fine fettle and ready to show at
his best. His game is consistent
and somewhat brilliant. Enough

American League Flag

NEW YORK, Aug. 80. - THE
spirit on our club is a wonderful
thing and II we do not win the
American League pennant, it will
not be due to any neglect by the
players" said Stanley Harris, the
young second baseman who has man.
aged the Washington Senators right
to the top of the American League.
Today the Senator's were leading by
a game and half--a margin gained
over the world champion Yankees
right in the latter's own back yard.
Two more contests of four
game series remain to be play ed
and Harris, in discussing the
chances Of his team, pointed to the
fact that George Mogridge, the club g
best lefthander, has not yet worked
IN this series and Is ready to take
a shot at his former teammates.
Perhaps we have been q bit
more fortunate than our rivals"
said Harris, because our club Is
intact. There are no injured ball
players and our pitchers have
reached their best condition OF the
season.
1--WE want to win and we have the
spirit to win. There Is nothing
like determination to carry a base
ball club along. Team spirit end
fight are worth more than any team
of all.stars. The Senators have
those attributes and it will be hard
for any club to bar our way row
that we are out in front,
I'VE finish the season away from
home but so do the Yankees. That
doesn't matter So much any more.
though. Our club is good one on
the road and it will give good &C.
count of itself.
Take a look at the grand work
manship of Walter Johnson this
season. His work never was better.
1t we win out it will be due as much
to his individual efforts as to any
thing else"

This series right here may de-
eide the pennant," says George.
"Or it may go over to the series
in Detroit and St. Louis. But my
firm belief is that if we can get
a lead of four games nobody will
ever catch US. The boys are all
keyed up and, once out in front
