The Tornado, however, did not display the dashing sweep that carried it through season unbeaten of that crack five shone with their usual brilliancy. "Slick" Vincent, al- ways a scintillating star, was up to par and better. Twenty y-three points was the toll he exacted. All other Tor nadoites shone with feebler gleam.
 Brunson's Work Is Good Although the Simpson team missed "Red" Brunson, though he had bad luck on many tries, made throws good for 16 points.
 Many Pretty Goals
 The first half gave Simpson a bet ter rating than the second. Starting early, the Tornado throwers looped two or three goals before the game had slowed down As the half neared it's close and the Redbirds began to make throws good. The half ended r to 10. The majority of the Y. M. c. A. shoot ing was done from long-range, and several beautiful goals were looped. Endsley tossed in a couple of pretty Eones, while many of Brunson's were neat shots from a distance.
 Vincent looped most of his counters from middle distance, while Curdy Byrd sank several long loopers. In the sec- ond half, the shooting of Slick Vincent sustained the Tornado. The loopers of Brunson hit true with periodic regular fly, while the, entire "Y" team was playing a faster brand of ball.

Florida Is Defeated By
 Mercer Nine
Sims Pitches Two-Hit Game For Baptists To Win Score 2 To 1

GAINESVILLE, Fla, March 1s-- (Special)-Playing the last few innings In a drizzling rain the Gator baseball nine dropped its third consecutive ball game to the Mercer Baptists wednes- day afternoon on Fleming field by the score of 2 to 1. Sims hurling unhit- table for Mercer proved to be Florida 6 nemesis and time and again stopped Gator rallies before the Florida team could slip a run or two across home plate. Florida managed to secure only two safe hits off the Baptist twirler and one of those was scratch hit of the poorest kind.
 Captain Howard Bracken, who holds down the hot corner for the Gator team, was the individual star of the game. Bracken was the second man to face Sims in the sixth inning and on the first pitch drove the apple over the center fielder's head for Florida's only run and second hit of the entire game. It was Bracken in the field who time and again stopped the Mercer boys from scoring more runs by making dag zling stops and throws from every an- gle of his territory. This young third single pebble and looked good enough for any big league team.
 One More Across Mercer's first counter came in the third inning when a Baptist runner crossed the plate, while the Florida first baseman and shortstop were chas- ing down another Mercer runner for the third out of the inning. The Bap- tist second run came in the fifth in- ming when Pope, outfielder, stepped to the plate and drove the pellet over center field for the second home run of the game. This ended the scoring for both sides.

 Made Up For It
 I was sorry for those who had con- fidence in me, but think I made up for 1t. to soTNe extent at least, in France a week or so later. With prac- tit ally the same field of stars, I went thI ough and won the French open title, which gave me some satisfaction, and figured that my trip abroad had not been a total loss.
 That experience taught me another lesson: That a varying quantity of luck is certain equation in every golf tournament. I was almost persuaded, for the first time, to put some faith in the amusing expedients many golf erS-particularly the Scotch-use to foil this element of chance. Golf has a whole code of superstitions, which I will touch upon later....
