of Planning and Beginning of One of the
Finest Church Buildings on Ranges.

address by the pastor. Rev. H. Rus
sell Browne, upon the theme ''The
Chief Corner Stone. Following
the address the parting hymn was
sung and after the benediction the
audience dispersed.
The laying of the stone was i'm
portant to the parish as it repre-
scented visibly the results of three
years of planning and sacrifice on
their part. 1t was important to
the citizens of Ely as it represent
ed the erection of public building
for religious purposes in keeping
with the trend for undermining the
building enterprises of Ely.
When finished, this viii be one
of the finest church buildings on
the ranges and the citizens of Ely
should feel just pride in its con-
struction as marking an era of bet
ter public buildings for the city.
The work is progressing rapidly
under the able direction of Con-
tractor Farnum. The brick are be-
ing laid on the upper story and it
is expected that the roof will be on
within short time when the in
terror finishing will be begun. 1t
is expected that the new edifice will
be ready for occupancy late this fall
or early in the winter.

With the National Convention of
The American Legion at st. PAUL
drawing near-the sessions will be
held Sept. 15 to Sept. -, inclusive
chaIrmen of the various committees
headed by Supreme Court Justice
Royal A. Stone report that every
thing except a few minor details Is
IN readiness for the biggest meeting
the Capital City ever entertained,
and the biggest national session OF
the organization.
Besides the convention of the Lee
gion proper, conventions will be
held of the 40 and 8, or Box Car
Societe, and of the American Legion
Auxiliary. Practically every city
and village in the Gopher State will
yield its quota of visitors to st.
Paul. They will come from every
cOunty-by special train, auto, mot
or truck, ''side door pullman" and
motivated by their own power.
Thousands of visitors from other
states viii pour into the Capital and
its neighboring city of Minneapolis.
Six special trains are coming from
South Dakota; there will be five
from California; the Northwest will
send five or six, and states as far
distant as Florida and Arizona will
have their own conveyances of Pull
man and dining cars. Practically
every coach will contain the mem
bers of at least one band-those
from California will have two
apiece. Wisconsin and Iowa dele
cations, besides having chartered
special trains, will sweep on St.
Paul in fleets of automobiles.
Hotel accommodations have been
arranged by the adjutants of the
various departments, Stafford King
acting in that capacity for Mime
sofa Parking spaces for automo-
biles will be provided in vacant lots
near the downtown section and at
Fort Smelling. At the Fort there
will be room for $4,000 cars.
Pullman City,, for which ten
miles of track has been laid, will
take shape as the special trains ar
rive. There will be special phone
service for the coaches, a special
sanitary system, and in fact all the
modern accommodations and fittings
of an up-to-date community.
The Representatives of the vari-
Gus departments will wear distinct
i've garb, in many cases. the Mon
tanans, for instance, being equipped
with Stetsons and six-shooters. This
delegation will herd a bunch of
steers along the line of march of
the big parade and will turn loose
a flock of pheasants as they pass
the reviewing stand. Californians
and Florida visitors are bringing
quantities of fruit and other pro-
ducts to advertise their state The

Several cities are in line for the
1925 convention and the choice of
the next meeting place will be one
of the most interesting features of

ambassador Kellogg extended the
invitation at the request of the Ma
tional officers of the American Le-
gion.
In view of the fact that the
Prince will be in Canada next
month"; comparatively short dis
tance from Saint Paul,-it is con-
fidently expected that he will con-
sent to be the guest of honor of the
men who were Brittain's Allies on
the field of battle. The final de-
cision of the Prince will be an
nounced at Washington, after he
confers with the President and Sec

made to provide fitting receptions
and ceremonies to make his visit to

it bobs up in my memory.
1t was on the links of the Hill
course, at Augusta, Ga. Navy Ogilvie,
the professional of the club, was
paired with the famous Paddy Doyle
at that time of the Deal. n. j., club.
against George Crocker. the well
known Boston amateur, and myself in
a best ball match.
Starting off the fourth hole. which
measured 40 yards, we played against
a high wind, so that, after our drives
and second shots, we each of us still
had a good mashie stroke left for the
green.
Crocker and Ogilvie were first to
play and both reached the green. But
deep gloom fell upon Crocker and me
when, on playing my ball, topped it.
However, you never can tell. Some
times your perfectly executed. shots
end in disaster. And often poor at
tempt will bring fine results. That
was what happened on this occasion.
My topped ball not only made the
green but went into the hole, giving
me an eagle 8.
Crocker was so delighted he threw
his hat in the air and gave an exu-
berant exhibition of walking on his
hands, an exercise at which he eX-
celled AS for me, turned to Paddy
Doyle, whose face wore an expression
of deep disgust, and said:
'You may as well pick up your
ball, Paddy. We're L up-give us the
Paddy retorted:
Wait a minute! I've got a shot
here"
And what does he do but take his
mashie and hole out beauty for an
other birdie g.
That halved hole is about all [ re-
member of the match. i don't recall
the finish We couldn't think of talk
about anything but those two mashie
plays. Mine was luck, but Paddy's
was premeditated. And maybe he and
Ogilvie didn't gloat over Crocker

TRACK MEETS LIKELY
TO BE NATIONALIZED

Out of the sectional track and field
meets leading up to the Olympic finals
at Cambridge may come complete ma
,Senalization of our amateur athletes
y. this sport.
There is not the slightest desire
on the part of officers of the Inter-
collegiate Association in the east to
arrogate to their body all that their
high-sounding name implies. On the
other hand, such a body as the Ma
tional College Athletic Association
cannot live up to it's name without
the moral and practical support of
the l. c. A. A. A. A. and other or
CARNATIONS in various sections.
To be truly representative of this
country there must be-and should
bean amalgamation of all. The
success of the Olympic preliminary
tests shows just how practicable the
scheme of organization might be.
And the outlook now is for a pro-
posal this fall which is likely to
meet with general interest.
The idea would involve intercol-
legiate sectional meets in the various
sections, north, east, south and west,
and then a national final intereol-
Iegiate meet at some central point
convenient for all-say Chicago. It Is
not beyond the realm of possibility
that the 1. c. A. A. A. A. might pro-
pose this very thing, calling for q
general convention.

FRENCH REACH FINAL
IN TENNIS CUP PLAY

PARIS, August 5.-The 1924 zone
competition for the Davis cup, premier
lawn tennis team trophy, ended at
Evians-les- -Bains yesterday, with France
again victorious. Cochet, Lacoste and
Brugnon outplayed the CzechosIovakians
who had survived in the lower half of
the draw, taking both the singles
matches played Sunday and the doubles
yesterday with comparative ease. Two
remaining singles are being played to-
day, but they have no bearing on the re-
suits.
France thus earns the right to meet
the winner in the America zone COM
petition, which now is under way. and
the survivor of that tie will enter the
challenge round against the United
States for the cup.
Yesterday Cochet and Brugnon won
from Zemla and Lozelur, 7-5, 3-6,
6-4.
The French team, which will sail
for the United States Saturday on the
liner Paris, will include La Coste,
Borotra and Brugnon, but the addi-
tion of Cochet is uncertain.

MATCH PLAY BEGUN
BY WOMAN GOLFERS

CHICAGO, August 5.-The first
match rounds of the women's West
ern golf championship were played
today at Onwentsia Club with wealth
er conditions considerably improved
over the almost unplayable situation
produced by yesterdays torrential
rains. There are 80 contenders for
the title now held by Miriam Burns

Although the course was not
flooded as during the qualifying
rounds. it Appeared doubtful whether
any of the players would excel the
medal score of 81 made yesterday by
Edith Cummings of Onwentsia, ma
tional champion.
This performance was three strokes
under par for the 6,440-yard course
and was 16 strokes under the top
figure at which four women tied for

u. S. MARATHON MEN
WOULD TRAIN SELVES

MELROSE, Mass, August 5.-The
marathon runners who represented
the United States at the Paris Olym-
pic games demand forerunners in the
long distance event Of future Olym-
piads the right of self-determination
in training and conditioning methods.
Clarence II. Demar Of this city, the
American champion, who finished
third at Paris, on his arrival at his
home here said the marathon run
ners had agreed never again to sub
in Olympic contests.
Asserting that the showing of the
United States runners was unsatisfac-
tory, Demar said he was not much in
volved in the criticism in the matter
of condition, because he had trained
as he pleased under agreement with
Lawson Robertson, head coach of the
American team.
After the race" he added, "all the
members of the marathon team got
together and held consultation. We
all agreed never to submit to a coach
and trainer in aEy future Olympic
marathon runs"
He said he believed that men Sc
lected for the team were themselves
the best judges as to how they should
train.
Explaining that the criticisms were
directed not so much at the marathon
coach, Mike Ryan, as at the system
Demar said that marathon runners
are different and may feel like TAX
ing long run when short fast
workout is ordered"
He asserted that there is no doubt
in my mind that our boys would
have done better without a trainer.
and / am sure they were all in bet
ter condition three weeks before the
event than they were on the race
day"

going to continue running marathon
races.

"The annual Summer course for
coaches at the University of Illinois
has just closed. There were 40 stu
dents, so per cent OF them expert
enced coaches from 43 States and two
foreign countries. This Summer course
was established back in 1914 with 122
students. l am told that our course
has by far the largest attendance Of
any course of the kind, but there are
many other coaches attending similar
schools this Summer, which strength
ems my conviction that the modern
coach is determined to improve him
self.
Noted Coaches Collaborate.
"One OF the most interesting fea-
tures at Urbana has been the collabo-
ration Of Bob Zupkke OF Illinois and
taught a large foot ball class. The
coaches listen to these well known
mentors and contrast their views and
systems. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that there is no connection be-
tween the Summer course and Illinois
undergraduate athletics. AS l have
explained. the course is primarily
for experienced coaches. No varsity
foot ball players took foot ball this
year.
Just one foot ball player this Sum
mer happened to be registered in the
course. for class in track athletics
He is student in agriculture who
was here to make up some academic
work. AS he plans to combine teach
ing and coaching he thought it well
10 learn something about track work.
THAT young men are more and
more electing athletic coaching as
profession is shown by the advance
registration in the four-year course
in coaching in Illinois This course
leads to a degree of bachelor of sci
ence. The students take most of their
work in academic and scientific sub
jectS but specialize in athletic and
physical education.
AT this writing it looks very much
as if our registration would be dou-
bled. We are very proud that so
many States are represented in the
roster. These boys come as far away
as from California and New York.
Must Be of High Character.
Educators tell us ever so often
that they are convinced that no one
has as much influence for good or evil
as the coach and they want coaches
of high character as well as skill. 1t
is this type of coach which we seek
to develop. We want none but boys
of high character and good scholastic
ability. That is far more important
than their athletic ability, most of
the successful coaches we have turned
out have been mediocer athletes"

The first step of the new organiza-
tion, according to men who are in
strumental in the move for it's forma
ton, will be affiliation with the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association of
America. 1t had been hoped that the
organization could be formed in suffi-
cient time to secure credentials from
the parent professional organization,
permitting pros I'm this section to
qualify somewhere about Washington
for the P. G.. A. championship at
French Lick, Ind, early in September.
This plan has been given up, as it
hardly is possible in view of the linn
tied time before the p. g. A. tourney
The new organization probably will
come before the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association as soon as it has made
its formal bow, and will seek affilia-
ton with that body, in order that the
enthusiasm and influence of the ars>-
teur members of clubs may be OBJ
tanned.
