Rockne On Courage.

ORANTLAND RICE, we'll
r known sports writer, inter

Danes great athletic coach, has
him say, "You rarely meet a foot
BALI player or q football team that
hasn't plenty of physical courage.
Physical courage is a common
every day matter. What l want
is the "heads up" type of spirit,
what you might called refined
courage Not the courage to take
punishment and keep on fighting
back-but the courage to keep on
thinking, to keep cool and bal

ready to strike at the first open

poise it won't have much else in
a hard game. And football can
wreck mental poise quicker than
any other game that I know"

FORE!
- AND AFTER
BY ROSS CoNKLIN-

Crowded unto the doors were
the Temples of Allah today. A
queer, curious crowd it was, too
It seems that every one in the
assemblage was giving praise to
the rain-maker for having saved
their golf courses in the truly
Alger-like nick of time manner.
S. G. Loeffler, Major Brown,
Fred Paxton, Doctor ]. r. De-
Farges, Morven Thompson, John
T. Harris, George Chasmar and
others were in the parade.
Utter ruination faced the golf
courses until that life saving rain
came along The fairways had
long since been baked to a cement
like harness, ano the green's, in
spite of all-night watering, were
in bad shape, with the feared
brown spots" appearing all too
frequently.
TriumpTantIy did Miss PascOe

War Department today. She
was the only lady playing in the
golf tournament of that division
to finish winner. She carried
on nObIy and well for her side,
even though she was playing In
the fourth and final flight. She
defeated Miss Yaggie in the
finals.
Miss Peggie Nestlerode aimed
her aims at the second flight and
she almost made a killing. She
went through to the finals, only
to have N. L. Goodman run away
with the match, and 6. Colonel
F. w. Coleman took care of the
honors in the first flight, though
H. Lurton forced him to the
limit. In the third flight, FRANK

Beaver Dam started out with a
flambuoyant flourish in the three
team golf league and then curled up
like a lamb, to have Manor take
the lead. Late today, those two
clubs will have their last match of
the summer on the Beaver Dam
course and Captain Fred Byrne will
send in his best.
Beaver Dam will have w. w.
Story, M. H. Maier, Doctor d. G..
Davis, Fred Byrne, Luther Florine,
D. G. Morris, H. j. Films, j. H.
Byrne. Evans Jones, and Wilson
Barrett in the lineup. All that is
known of Manor is that two of
the best players who ever graced
the public links will be in the line
up. They are Harry G.. Pitt, run
ner-up in the Town and Country
Club tournament, and Earl McAleer,
ft-hander, and one of the mem
bers of the victorious Harding Cup
team last year.
Because forty-eight players could
not be found, the special match Der
tween Cy Cummings and Donald
Woodward at Columbia has been
postponed from today indefinitely,
When the two began writing down
the names of the twenty-four men
each wanted on his side they found
that most of the players we're out
of the city on their vacations.

One approaches the third after u.
first hole that is par 6, and q sec md
that is par 4. One would naturally
think that the holes were mathe-
matically becoming easier. They are.
The third is a par 8.
Only 100 yards of earth sepa-
rates the tee from the green. But, in
between and on all sides are some
of the most heart breaking traps
ever seen. Guarding the green di-
rectly in front is great bunker.
It is one Of those yawning types
that seem to take human delight
IN swallowing q wandering pill.
The distance-190 yards-is a long
iron shot for most players, and a
short drive with a wood. There
fore and for no apparent reason,
most frequenters Of the course use
a mashie iron, a club that is for
shorter distances, and stick that
will very easily enable one TO slice
or hook.
On the left Of the green is another
trap, equally as formidable as the
one in front. A. hook into this
trap will cost dearly unless She
player Is an expert at exploding
shots. The trap is so deep that
the usual masf1ie shot will not get
out. 1t must be either a spade
mashie or a deep mashie nibIic.
Furthermore, If the shot is too far,
the ball win t1-ickle over the green
and into another deep trap on the
right side Of the pin.
James Crabb, professional at the
club, has so arranged the hole that
it takes truly genuine shot to
make it. He has made the hole
both sporty and difficult. Topped
drives, slices or hooks will lead to
all manner Of trouble. On the
other hand an ordinary straight
drive with enough distance will
be right where it should be.
They have bought carloads of
Chesapeake Beach's sand 20 use in
the traps. Practically every one
of the first nine holes is being
done over, and the traps so placed
that the average player will have
more chance than he used to have.
On many holes traps that used to
penalize the driver ror a short but
straight drive have been moved to
the side, where curving balls will
have no trouble finding them.
As soon as the work on the
first nine has been completed,
the last nine win be fixed. That
is expected to be completed around
the first Of September. Congress
siOnaI now has one of the best
courses in the city, and with the
improvements completed 1t will
rank with the best in the cOun.
try.
Course patronage mas grown so
big as TO be unWieldy on Saturdays,
SUNDAYS and holidays. That means
but ore thing-a 1ditional holes. A
measure of relief i3 found by start
ing players at both the first and
tenth holes. but even then the
course soon becomes crowded.
A new course will be constructed,
according TO present plans. on the
side Of the club house opposite the
golf shop. The club owns vast
tracts of land that are not in use,
and an additional course can be
constructed from tie present hold
ings.
1t is planned to start worl: on the
first nine of the additional eighteen
this fall. and to Lave it completed
by the fall of 1926. That is a short
time for the construction of a
course. but so much of the ground
is natural that Dut little work will
have to be done.

Tunnels to Save Users
S2O,OOO,OOO Yearly

New York.-Traffic experts Of New
Jersey estimate that the Holland tun-
nels under the Hudson river will save
merchants and others $2O,OOO,OOO a
year, because it will shorten distances
between this city and Trenton, N. j.,
and points between, and that the Lin
coin highway will afford such an out
let as to prevent congestion and the
consequent delays for years to come.
The Lincoln highway runs from Jer-
sey City to Trenton, touching the big
ger centers on the way like Newark.
Elizabeth, Railway, Metuchen, New
Brunswick and Princeton. Fred LAWS,
assistant construction engineer Of the
New Jersey state highway department,
made the $20,00O,OO0 saving estimate.
The basis Of his figuring was that
trips between important points will be
made in so much shorter time that at
least one dollar will be saved on each
trip by vehicles and that the number
Of these trips will be at least 100000
a year.
He pointed out that this amount,
capitalized at per cent, indicates that
$500, 100000 might profitably be spent
to eliminate present delays to traffic.

Hit Upon New Methods to
Keep Up With the Times.

New York.-The financial under

lily hits upon new methods to keep up
with the times and ahead of the law.
Its jargon Is elastic, inpromptu and
bizarre.
For example, swindlers who fleece
the public through sales of fake stocks
work by telephone In what Is called
boiler-room. Telephone statesmen
are said to "hook the suckers" Dyna-
miters, so-called, build up" the vic
tins and hoodwink them into switch

out as bait to attract investment, to

tors are In business to unload.

These swindlers operate from offices
that usually are obscure, sometimes
merely desk room, so customers Will
find telephone calls hard to trace. In
the larger plants there often is bat
terry of as many as eight telephones.
This is the boiler-room, the term be-
ing derived from the practice Of Gre
ating an atmosphere Of bustling activ-
ity to impress inquisitive suckers who
cannot be kept away.
The hustle is not wholly fictitious,
the better business bureau Investigate
ors have found. Hour in, hour out,
statesmen with good voices canvass by
wire a list of names selected either
from a secret suckers list" or the
telephone directory.
They hook their man by offering to
let him buy some active standard
tial-payment plan. He can sell out at
the rise and take a profit perhaps
equal to as much as he has paid in.
The money is duly received, but the
stock Is never bought.
An attorney in Toledo, Ohio, was
reached by long-distance telephone
from Philadelphia and New York. He
placed $515 on curb stock here and
won. He was persuaded to switch to
worthless mining stock and agreed
to send $500 more. Postal inspectors
nabbed one of the swindlers at tele-
graph Office as he was waiting for the
remittance. Later they caught two
others.

Woman Is Killed

DOCTOR" who fed to Germany
: after she had been charged with
. manslaughter in connection with
the death Of a patient.
. 1t was believed possible that
. Mrs. Gilchrist's death might
. have been due indirectly to the
. first operation. as well as to the
: operation under which she died.
Chemical analysis of the wom-
: ans brain showed traces Of
. phenol poisoning, and the theory
: was that the operation last June
may have left her particularly
! sensitive to the effects Of the
phenol solution commonly used
in face-peeling operations.
