Constance smiled at her brother
and linked an arm around one Of H.
Hedges.
"Conniew cried Billy.
why, whats wrong, Billy" asked
the retired efficiency engineer.
Didn't you ever see enything like
this?"
And he kissed Constance.

Billy menacingly, and this time he
plainly meant it,

Constance Brooke had received

He slid down from the table and
stood in front Of her, his hands out
stretched, as he had the evening be

laugh at him. She felt serious and
disquieted. 1t was like having an

LONDON. December 30.-Almost

The Hon. George has trained

the animals Of this sporting lord
that he has Won the coveted classics

his noble employer crowned their
racing careers in 1924 by winning the
Derby with SansoVino after more than
40 wears of efforts, with their entries
usually in the money or the victims
OF bad weather.

BURNING Tree CLUB
COURSE NOT "SHORT"

An impression that the course of
the Burning Tree Club is short"
has been enormously conveyed. Burn

shows its length from the front tees
to he only little more than $500
yards, usually stretches out to well
over 5000, depending on the set Of tee
plates in use. BY placing the plates on
the back of the tees the course can he

long enough to make the heaviest
hitter do his best
All the tees at Burning Tree are
long. averaging we'll over 35 yards in
length. AS IL was played during the
middle Atlantic open championship the
course measured about $500 yards.
J. NJ. Shea Of the Washington Golf
and Country Club performed the
unique feat of holing long approach
shots to blind holes at the sixth and
ninth at Washington recently. Sheas
second shot at the sixth left him down
the hill to the right of the green.
He could not see the flag from where
his ball lay but he holed a niblick
shot for 3. At the ninth. his tee
shot barely got over the ditch. and
again he holed A niblick shot for
another birdie. From bad positions
on both holes he got pair of brides.
All of which has moral-the hole
is never lost until the ball is in the
hole.
