GOLF WIDOW GIVES
 GAME A NEW NAME
Husband "HoolS" All Day and
 "hOuthS" All Night

Chicago Jan. 90 R,--A new nick namr for golf was put forward to- day by a disgruntod golf widow," who dubbed the pastImc tho "hoof and mouth" game.
 This woman, who has not taken 10 tho links in self defense as have SO many women recently, said that she had put Up with the "hooflng' ' part of golf which kept her husband away from home most of his spare hours, but had rcbcllcd when she found that the mouth" part of the game invaded her evenings,
 "lIe hoofcd all day over the links,' she said, "and then mouthcd all night about the hoofng."
 That thousands of wives of golfers lave decided 10 break away from this condition without going 10 the courts, as few have done, is shown ! by the rapid increase in women golf CTS recently. In New York women i have even organized a club for their ! exclusive use. and reports at the l annual meeting of the golf associa- ton show that every club has doubled its women players in the last, two years. At Olympia Fields club, Chicago, which has four 1S- hole courses, one links is set aside almost exclusively for women. and . most of them are wives Of male members.
 Another indication of the growth of golf among women is the efforts of Mary Browne and others 10 gel tho Womon's national championship away from the control of the United States Golf association and have il ! managed by the women, as is the Womcn's Western Golf association There was q case in Iowa where { nan sued for divorce because hi. wife neglected him for golf.
 Then the women have adyanccC rapidly in the matter of playinl ability. Just last fall at the St Louis country club, Glenna Collct Of Providence, F. l., in winning tht rational title, average close 10 T for th" whol" weeks play over ; difficult course. Mrs Elaine Roscn thal Keinhart of Dallas scored near ly as well in winning the Woster championship over the White Bca

TWO TIGHT GAMES
 IN CHURCH LEAGUE
So. Church to Battle Meth0diStS
 at ', M. C. A. Tonight

Two tight games will be offered 10 lntcr-church basketball league fans this evening at tho Y. NJ, c. A., both scheduled contests giving pro mise of developing into ones in which every point will be keenly fought after and needed. The South Congregational church, now holding second place and only one gamo be- hind the leaders, will take on the Trinity Mcthodists, fighting occu- pants of third position. Tho South church nosed out this team when they met before, but the Methodists have added new blood and improv- ed their teamwork since then, so that they should present even stiffer opposition. Battling for revenge, they are out 10 stop the South church, but the latter will fight it's hardest to keep in the race. The other game will bring to- gcther the First Lutheran quintet, which is leading. and tho revamped Bluo Army. The Blucbirds' new array gave the Swcdcs an awful battle in q postponed game last Saturday, although it was their first game as unit, and they should put up even better game tonight. The Swcdcs, however, will not bo under Ithc handicap of having to play two games in one night. as they were last week, and will be able to con- ccntrate their admitted strength in | this ono encounter.
 The Kcnsington team is the ono which is idle this week.
 Bowling Standing
 Clean sweeps were the rule in the 1nter-Church bowling league this week, all four matches being deCid- ed by three games 10 none. The Blue Army crushed the Red Army in the feature battle, maintaining it's leaC and pushing the Reds porarill out of the race. Tho Trinity Metho dists smashed the three-strint league record in walloping th' White Army and kept game be hind the Bluebirds. The Soul church stayed in the fight b, trouncinG the lowly German Bap tists, and tho Lutherans hung on th' leaders heels by disposing of Ken ,sington.
 The feature match of the lcagu will be rolled next Tuesday evening Iwhcn the Blucbirds and Methodist clash for first place. Originall
 scheduled for Wednesday, thi meeting was postponed one night The balance of the schedule will b
 rolled on the regular night. Tn irtopdinr is now as follows;

HEAT BENEFITS GROWING CORN
Present Condition of Crop Found Good
Rain Delays Wheat Threshing

Present Condition of Crop Found Good
Rain Delays Wheat Threshing
The synopsis of weather and crop
conditions in Maryland and Delaware
for the week ending July 20, as COM
piled by the Baltimore Weather Bu-
reau, is as follows: Heavy to very
heavy rains fell during the 14-16 on
the Eastern Shore, while in the CEN
tral and western divisions the rain
fall was generally moderate to light,
except on the Western Shore of the
Bay, where it was rather heavy. In
portions of the Eastern Shore, espec-
tally in Delaware, lowlands were
flooded and grains damaged. A period
Of fair, sunny, warm weather follow
ed the rains just mentioned. Except
ing the slight damage caused in the
lowlands, the rainfall Of the week was
rather beneficial than otherwise al
though it interrupted harvesting Of
wheat, oats and hay. The tempera-
ture conditions and the hot sun Of the
last few days caused rapid growth of
corn and other crops. Corn has made
CACGllGnL progress uuIllS Lie ldSI lWO
weeks and is generally almost up to
normal growth for this date. The
present condition averages good to ex-
cellent. Some corn has been laid by.
The early crop is tasseling. Wheat
threshing was delayed by the rains,
but threshing has progressed far
enough to indicate better crop than
had been expected. Oats are nearly
ready for harvesting in the western
counties, where the crop is reported
generally good. Pastures have i'm
proved decidedly except in the drier
parts Of the central and western coun-
ties, where they have not yet recover
ed from the dry spring. Good to ex-
cellent crops Of early apples, peaches
and pears are being marketed. They
are ripening as far west and south as
Allegheny county. Tobacco, potatoes,
sweet potatoes and tomatoes are do
ing well generally. Late potatoes are
coming up to good stands. Tomatoes
continue somewhat behind their usual
stage at this season. The crop gen
orally is in fairly good condition, but
not many are ripe as yet. Early ones
are being marketed from the south
eastern counties. Gardens and minor
crops made good progress last week.
Soybeans and cowpeas are reported
fine in Somerset county.
