AND AFTER
-Bv ROSS CONKLIN-


There Is i firm belief in the
minds Of all golfers that if they
shoot hole in one they come
into MANY benefits. Manufac-
turers. storekeepers and public
spirited golfers, like Chick Evans,
are supposed to give out balls,
bags, sticks and what not. The
writer mas been unable to find
any of them and there are several
one-hole golfers here suffering
as a consequence.
The latest victim of the myth
cal hole-in-one rewards is Eddie
Frost. one Of the washington dele.
CATION to the national public links
tournament at Garden City. Eddie
qualified nicely, but he got step
ped on rudely when he went out TO
engage in his first match, and he
came right back home.

grounds, Rock Creek, ne was

Mrs. HOughtOn is no relative OF

lerv something to think about with
their sharp sf<oting.
The players stood on the fifteenth

he got another three, leaving two
happy. on the seventeenth he goS

the eighteenth green with a putt
for another three, it seemed that
he was superhuman. He got that
three, making him eleven for the
last four holes.
His card for the eighteen holes

Danny Morgan had a 10. Mckini.

Manor and Argyle met and the
question of which club was going

of Manor. The cup was provided
by the three clubs in the series,
which included Beaver Dam. Manor
was beaten by Beaver Dam. but the
Manor golfers ran up high scores

McNeely Can Field.

WI HEN Earl McNeely Joined
w the Griffmen last season it
was noted that the sun
bother him. He reported in
Chicago and when the team
reached New York in late Augsut
he was having his troubles. In
deed, in several games in the big
town he snapped positions with
sam Rice in late innings in roder
to escape the sun. That was last
year.
II don't say he's a star right
now" Joe Engel told this Writer
in Chicago the day McNeeley ar
rived, "but watch him improve.
He'll be there by this time next
year."
And, gosh all henlock, that's
exactly what has happened.
There may be some better out-
'fielders than Earl McNeelv hut
If there are it is because thew
have more experience than the
fleet Californian. Give him one
or two years more and he'll be, a
klngpln gardener. He possesses
speed, a cool, calculating eve. a
knowledge of angles and ali the
courage in the world. He never
runs away from a difficult
chance.
1t is not generally believed
that McNeely can throw, but if
you will follow the games closely
you will find that few extra
bases are gained at his expense.
He INDUCES in no circus pegs lust
FOR the fun of showing the fans
his pegging wing, but let some
daring runner try something. Then
Earl is more than likely to nail
him to the mast and wave the
mast around in triumph.
Clark Griffith is buying outfield
talent from the minors. "Tex,'
Jeanes, for instance, is coming
up from Birmingham and Cow
boy Jones from Mobile. Well
and good, they'll both find
Earl McNeely sitting on the
world waiting to be showed off.
And he'll assimilate a whole lot
of showing, too.

But there is this about the
Griffs, they like fight. Led by
Bucky Harris, they will welcome
the daily jousts. There are no
nambypamby players in the club.
All are he-men. All love a fight.
The Griffmen, according to bet
ting blokes in New York, are not
SO likely to win the pennant as
the Mackmen. Fine business! All
the Griffs have to do is to 60
right out and do that little thing.
Thirteen games are to be played
in the West, beginning next week,
four in Detroit and three in each
of the remaining three cities.
Just watch those Griffs sail into
the enemy on this coming trip.
They realize as we'll as anybody
else that they simply must stay
with the AS until September /.
They must win game for game
with the contenders if they would
be in position to make victories
over the AS themselves count for
much in this feverish fight for
the 1925 gonfalon.
But where the 1924 Griffs had
ct least half the crowd roofing
for them wherever they appeared,
the 1925 gang will have everybody
against them. Yes, that'll be a
difference, but it ought not bother
the champions too much. They
are fighting team filled with
the fighting spirit. Watch 'em go!

ID EMEMBER Century Milstead,

football lineup in 1923?
Well, he's coming back to the
gridiron. He will be found play
ing in the forward wall of New
York's professional eleven this
season and is sure to attract at
tention.
The New York eleven, backed
0y Billy Gibson, well known as
boxing manager and promoter,
and Tim Mara, a New Yorker
with some loose jack, is expected
to be one of the most formidable
in the country. Among its play
ers, besides Milstead, will be big
Carney, former star guard at the
Naval Academy: Joe Williams, La

Homar, Vanderbilt's all-American
end of three years back. Bob
Folwell, last years Navy coach,
will handle the New York eleven,

about training. He just won't
stand for it.
The professional ranks are call
ing to many of the greatest play
ers of recent years. The Frank
fort Yellow Jackets, for instance,
are captained and coached by
Chamberlain, Nebraska's great
end. On the eleven will be
found Herb Stein, of w. and j.,
and Russ Stein, of Pittsburgh;

THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLES

A Jew once had business dealings
with a man who would "chase rat
thru hades to get his fat" as the
saying goes. Even the jew was out
done at every turn by the nervy
schemes of the other man to get
the best of him.
Finally the Jew in desperation ex-
claimed, "When you die I'd like to
speak for your gall"
That's the way | feel about the
nervy birds who are constantly try
ing to sell me tickets to this and
that and the otherl They go else
where to get their printing done;

ask that | publish in the paper, and
THEN TURN AROUND AND DUN
Me TO BUY TICKETS TO THEIR
DOG FIGHTS!
I'm getting sick of it! My good
nature is about exhausted!
The impositions are not only evil
dences of a depraved sense of reci-
procity. but they exhibit a lack of
breeding and courtesy which is de-
plorable.
And the next time l have any
thing to say about it l AM GOING

yourself accordingly.

SOUTHAMPTON OFFERED
LIBRARY BUILDING FREE

The most important business be-
fore the Southampton club was
whether it would be possible, in
view of the small fund on hand to
accept the generous offer Of George
Shelmire to buy his fathers for
mer home to house the free library
and provide a meeting room for the
club which would still leave room
for family to be comfortably hous-
ed.
The location was so desirable and
the house so substantial and suitable
that it was a great disappointment
to many that the financial response
bility was too heavy for the club
to assume.
The club fully appreciated Mr.,
Shelmire's generous contribution to-
ward the purchase price and MIR.

PLAYING HALLOWEEN TRICKS
ON THE MERCHANTS

Although Halloween. proceeding
All Saints Day., originated the Gus
tom of young people with playful
ceremonies and charms to discover
future husbands of wives, it has
gradually changed into custom of
mischevious pranks and practical
jokes And Halloween certainly
played a practical joke on Lambert
Vile and New Hope merchants this
year.
As Halloween came on Saturday
this year. some of the merchants
were afraid to stage the annual
celebration ON that night because
they were afraid it would interfere
with trade. Accordingly it was set
for Friday night before.
But on that day there was CON
tim1al snow, and at night the
streets We're sloppy and the air was
discouragingly chilly, so the celebra-
ton was postponed until the fol
lowing Monday night.
However. Saturday dawned with
sunshine and mild weather. and Hal
lowe'on night was ideal.
Monday was a hooking repetition
of the previous Friday-rain and
cold weather. So again the celebra-
ton was postponed and set for
Thursday night
And when the celebration finally
came Off. it had lost all its pep
and enthusiasm. The spirit of the
season was gone And while there
We're more prizes, more music and
more elaborate preparations made
this year than ever before, the
parade was but ghost Of what it
has been in previous years.
And all because a few merchants
were so afraid they would lose
some trade on Saturday. Couldn't
they get it thru their heads that
the more people there are on the
streets, the greater opportunities they
would have had for increased bus
mess?

In a Chicago address. recently,
DR.. c. w. Larson. Chief of the
United States Bureau of Dairying,
made a plea for greater production
per COW rather than an increase in
the number of COWS.
The average COW in the United
States yields annually only about
1000 pounds of milk of which 2.7%
is buttcrfat.
Careful breeding and elimination
by test in the milk herd makes an
increase to 5000 pounds of milk an
nually per COW not impossible with
the average dairyman. This would
net the milk produced $500 above
feed cost per cow as compared with
the present average of only $4,000.

BETRAYING HIS SEX

It is rank injustice to the bette

that a woman has taken to the
