No doubt it has. but perhaps you
had never thought of it in just that
way. Many of us can count dozens
Of things that have occurred for
good in our lives, each one of which
seemed equally as important which
meant just as much to us as the
MIRACLE of MIRACLES that oc-
Cured to the civilized world nine
teen and a quarter centuries ago.
For instance-if you were a
widowed mother with anywhere
from three to nine children, and
you were so far behind in your
rent that the landlord was putting
you out in the street today after a

person stepped ur just as the last

Tilden, at odd moments has been
reported as being ready to retire and
himself had admitted the possibility
of his withdrawal because of conflict
with the proposed new amateur rul-
ing of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association, which would bar from

who covers" a tournament in which
he takes part. He also might face
ineligibility through use Of his court

These factors play their part in the

Captain Holmes Interbureaus made
good their threat to stop the Economics
five and took the odd game from the
leaders. The first game of the match
furnished the rather unusual spectacle
OF a leading team trailing 100 pins
behind the tailenders, the score being
525 to 425 in favor of the Interbureaus.
Fine bowling by Miller enabled the
Economics team to take the final game
and escape a shut-out Conklin was
the best bowler for the Interbureaus,
while Dameron put over the highest
game Of 129.
Soils had TO go at top speed to take

decided the second game in favor of

Solicitors lost two games to the Plant
Bureau combination and only won the

game Witnessed a pretty individual
fight between the team captains, Murphy
of Solicitors and Ferrall of Plant Bu-

in the TENTH totaling 1876 and winning
high game honors by margin OF 4
pins. Murphy got 1872. Solicitors, how

Matthias, out for the first time with
Plant Bureau, rolled steady games and

ing of the younger bowlers breaking

Old Ghosts With Niblick.

Some years ago, playing over the
Gloucestershire course back home, !
put my ball into a sort of ditch or
creek alongside the fairway. I was
lying in long grass amid rushes, the
stream being temporarily dry. The
lie called for a niblick shot, and a
minute later / was congratulating
myself on having made a very fine
out But my pleasure was soon dis
pelled. Coming UP to the ball, found
it wasn't mine, but an old gutta
percha affair which had appeared ap-
parently from nowhere.
Here was a puzzle. My opponents
and the caddies had helped me to find
my ball in the rough and had seen
me play il out. Yet II wasn't my ball
at all.
Going back to the spot from which
1 had played, we found the explana-
tion. In swinging l had struck below
my ball, missing 1t completely and
hitting the ancient gutta-percha
which happened to be just under
meath, where 1t had been lost years
before. AS my clubhead went on
through my own ball dropped into the
hole where the other had been.
Needless to say, I had some trouble
getting it out and didn't win that
hole.
Yes. golf is a funny game. 1 was
playing 1t years before Bobby Jones
and Jess Sweetser were born. Yet
when. as a member of the British
team. l met them in the Walker cup
matches at Garden City last Septem-
ber-Bobby in the Scotch foursome
and Sweetser in the singles-I was
victorious on both occasions. That's
what makes the old game SO fasci-
nating-so many unexpected things
happen in il.

With the schedule more than half
completed, Curb Cafe continues to
maintain what appears to be a safe
lead, the runners-up having gained
only one game in the past few weeks.
King Pins and Meyer Davis were sue
cessful in their last meeting with the
District champions of last season, but
none of the other teams in the league
seems able to register a win against
Curb Cafe. 1t appears that the real
struggle is the race for second posi-
| ton, four teams being very much in
the running.
A most interesting contest for the
leadership in individual average is
being waged between Wolstenholme
of King Pins, Rosenberg OF Curb
Cafe and Capt. Megaw of King Pins.
They are closely grouped. Wolsten-
holme made quite a substantial gain
| during the past week by reason of
| the fact that Rosenberg was guilty
for the first time this season of shoot
| ing an even 800 set thereby .relin-
| gushing his occupancy of first place.
| Megaw turned in a fine set of 364, a nd
! brought himself almost on even terms
with the leaders.
| The match between Meyer Davis
and Curb Cafe attracted most interest
| during the week, the league leaders
| taking only the last game. Good
scores failed to materialize Joe
| Toomey and Reds Morgan were high
| for Curb Cafe, with 354 and 344 re-
spectively, while for Meyer Davis
| Howard Campbell was best with 339,
followed by John Welsh with 332.
Mount Peasants thoroughly enjoyed
their evening with Terminal ice Co.,
taking all three, with games of 573
531 and $40, for a set of 1853, the best
for the week. Pete Metrakos con-
| tributed a fine set of 373, and Paul
| Shipley helped considerably with S52.

had the unusual experience Of going
the first 25 frames without register

King Pins won the first two games
of its eet against CornelTs Lunch, but
| decided they had done enough for the
evening, and were beaten by a wide
| margin in the last one. Reds Megaw
| and Arthur Urban, former teammates,
| the best bowling for each team, the
sorrel-topped captain of King Pins
emerging the victor, with 364 set,
| in games of los, 135 and 121, as COM
pared with the total of 336 by the
man who outshone all others in tour
| nament bowling last season.
Stanford Paper Co. took the first
) from Goodfellows, with plenty to

( margin and wound up the evening by
| capturing the final by a very small
margin. Earl McPhilomy starred, with

A 5O,OOO-to-I Shot.

Last year in France. playing over

happen not more than once in $4,000

He had been shooting great golf,
with the result that with seven holes
still to be played be had me dormie-

on the twelfth hole, seemingly al
most ready to be counted out, rallied
and won. l took the thirteenth and
fourteenth, too. Nevertheless, the
task of capturing every hole there
? fter seemed a bit too difficult.
The fifteenth at lie Touquet is 230
Yards in length. You play over a
sand hill and the green is blind We
could not see the result of our tee
shots until we had reached the top
of the sandhin. Then we still were
left with an element of suspense.
One ball was on the green, dead to
the hole. The other was not to be
seen.
Wac certain of and appeared to
have the hole won. If the ball was
mine I was still in the running. But
fit was my friends l was out of il.
That's the way il looked to US as
we drew near But our calculations
turned out TO be all wrong. The ball
in sight was my friends. But he
hadn't won the hole. My ball was in
the cup--for hole in I.
The funny thing was that l went
on to take the sixteenth, seventeenth
and eighteenth holes, haIving the
match. But only the hole in l per-
mitted me to do so. Any other play
on the fifteenth would have defeated
me.
