TT ONLY 1 could talk to Sfanville,
tell him how I felt, perhaps he would
be different. But I never argued with
him and as the weeks and months
passed learned not to express an
opinion. Really I had not done so to
any extent since I had married him.

He had taken a dislike to Harriet,
the maid. She was young, bright and
her quaint speech and bright face were
often a pleasure to me.

He told me this as he left the house
one morning. l had wondered what
he was saying to Harriet, but did not

T.Oh, Manville! She was SO nice.

knew why he discharged Harriet. When
I felt bitter / imagined it was because
he knew liked her. Yet to be honest
l now do not really think that was the
reason. I have grown wiser and am
sure that while Manville brooked no
questioning of his actions he also was
rot spiteful. Harriet had probably
argued with him or been slow in obeying
some command.

GOLF SERIES NO. IA

An oddly about French is that
with all his ability he has yet to
win an important championship.
Two sears ago he went to the finals
in the professional match play
championship, only to fall before
the slashing onslaught of Gene
Sarazen. That was as close to big
league distinction as he ever got.
French. like Joe Kirkwood, an
other marvellous stroke-maker with
out title, is addicted to inspira-
tional golf. French set an Ameri-
can competitive record in the Ohio
open championship in 1922, which
promises to take a lot of beating.
He played a 6,300-yard course four
times in, these figures: 57-67-71-6s. a.
total of PA, just fourteen strokes
under even fours. for seventg.two
heies.
This bettered the previously ac-
cepted mark Of 27S. set by the late
j. Douglas Edgar. in winning the
Canadian open title in 1919.

Butler is popped up over its net
team which has shown a great i'm
provement over it's early season form.
AS the season has drawn to a close
the meters have worked together bet
ter and in the last games have dis
played high class exhibitions.
Last for Two Stars
The game Thursday is the last one
on the Butler schedule and 1t will be
one final chance for NIiddlesworth and
Hooker to defeat the classy Baptist
outfit which never has tasted defeat
in collegiate circles. To say the locals
will try hard against Wagner's squad
is not half expressing it.
If there is anything any team would
like to do it is to defeat Franklin. 1t
is the ambition of every college player
and coach to mar that unbroken
string of victories.
Ballard is back at practice with the
Franklin squad after a siege of illness.
The little floor guard has had a tough
year with cold and grippe keeping
him out of the game. Ballard probably
Axill get into the Butler contest for a
while.
Big Edge to Tigers
The Wabash at De PAW battle does
not have the usual Statewide thrill
attached because the Methodists are
thought to have a decided edge. Wa
bash has had a poor year on the court
with injuries and ineligibility hurting
whatever chances Coach Vaughan had
Of building up a real aggregation.
The Little Giants put on a near-up-
Sc. party for De PAW at Crawfords-
vile in the first game of the two
game series and lost only after a
struggle by one point. 1t was quite
a surprise and De Paw is ready for
another hard contest. Any time these
two teams meet, no matter what the
dope, the result is usually close.
For that reason, regardless Of the
lack of State interest in Thursdays
battle, followers of the two colleges
will be present in large numbers to
cheer their respective teams.

ITO our mind Emmett French,
the tall, black haired Ohio
Aplayer, is the ideal golf pro-
fessiOnal, combining, as he does, the
ability to teach and play to d mark
eddy high degree.
Unlike Stewart Maiden of Atlanta,
for example, French il. not only a
great teacher, but great player,
and is at home in the stiffest sort of
competitive tussles.
In much the same sense French
differs from Walter Hagen, to pick
another random example, since Ha-
gems fame was built UP largely on
his genius as a stroke maker.
French has made Louise Fordyce,
Youngstown maiden, one of the out
standing woman players in the
country. a formidable candidate for
national honors and thrice holder of
the Ohio title. French literally has
transferred his own game to Miss
Fordyce. You see French in every
stroke she plays, particularly in her
iron strokes.
