Witnesses OF Mr.. Goslin's ef
forts on the East Potomac Park
links readily will agree with this,
too.
There are patrons OF East Po-
tomac Park who from the tee
drive as close to the pin as the
redoubtable Goose.
But it is ventured here that none
gets his long distances in exactly
the same manner as he.
The Gander hits the mightiest
slice known to Washington links.
Let those upon whom the curse
of slicing has fallen rise quickly
to challenge. But first. hear We:
The Goose had played eight holes
of Course B and suffered from q
severe attack Of slicing all the
way. Coming up for the ninth he
had it all planned out how. on this
last drive. he'd outwit the tricky
God OF Golf.
Watch this one" said he to
Bingey Bryan, a playmate. And
the Goose cut loose with vicious
left handed swing.

"whiz." sounded the Gander's
ball.
It started diagOnally across
the wide lot to the right and
behind the tree. That pill looked
as though it was bound for the
Potomac river.
Then one Of the funny things
that Goose said happens when he
throws in his hips, happened.
The pill veered sharply to the
left. For a moment it seemed benz
upon turning around and starting
back for the tee.
But no. 1t pulled up-beautifully
on the green, having gotten there
so to speak, through a side door.

1t Had to Be Good Decision

THE Stribling- Berlenbach argu-
ment still goes on, but the
decision was final.
There could have been no other
decision in that fight, with Patsey
Haley and Florrie Barnett as
judges and Jack Sullivan as ref
cree.
They wouldn't ruin a boys repu-
tation with a SLIGHT SHADE
decision, and when three men
think it's even Stephen you can
bet your life it was so.
There are no better judges OF
boxing in America than Haley and
Barnett.
Those who have the interest OF
honest boxing at heart hope that
this pair is together oftener at
big fights.

neat looking pamphlet, containing the
account Of Trails, Roads. Highways

all who use and live along the princi-

and the Bank deserves great credit
for preserving for future generations
this valuable addition to the history
of the County. A this date we do not
sufficiently realize the importance Of
these early thoroughfares that ante
dated the railroads and automobiles.
Whether by horseback, in narr w
two high wheeled gig, shay, or wagon
these were the only means OF travel

followed the post boy and the mail

trayersed the center Of Monmouth
County and went through now Free

Main street. Tire Burlington path was
straightened from its zigzag course
and became the Kings highway and
