HOT SPRINGS, Ark, February %.
Because threatening clouds did not
empty their contents on this resort,
the daily golf and hike of the Nationals
yesterday was followed as usual, and
there was nothing to break the routine
with the exception that Roger Peck
inpaugh, Rice and Goslin were asked
by the captain Of a local team Of boys
to inscribe their names on q new ball
the kids had bought for that purpose,
which was done.
Rice, Goslin and Peckinpaugh had

the Nationals probably will see their
last ring bout in this city this season,
as they anticipate leaving next Friday.

the District OF COLUMBIA
"It Is believed that Glenn Wolsten-
holmes action in shooting two ~
games in the Masonic tournament
saved a number Of lives among the
bowlers of the city. The rank and
file Of duckpin shooters were pecom-
ing depressed and gloomy over the
12O averages being registered by
Glenn, Earl McPhi1omy and other
stellar bowlers, and 1t Is question
whether the strain would not have
been too much If continued, resulting
in suicides among discouraged Do"i-
ers.
"Figure it out for yourself: 1t Is
about on g. par with the stuauoh
which would face the average golfer
If he had to shoot daily over the same
course with Bobby Jones. 1t pleases
the average duckptn shooter I'M
mensely to learn that the 12O men
really are human at times. 1t was
an act Of charity on Glenn's part,
whether deliberate or not.
Its old stuff now. but the bowling
enthusiast who missed the final
match can have no clear idea. OF the
sheer courage Wolstenholme exhibit
and Max Rosenberg. The brilliant
effort made by the last-named to
overcome an almost tnsuperable han
dicap rather overshadowed Glenn's
work, but not in the eyes of those
who saw the final game.
There Is a whale of g. difference
between running second and putting
on desperate burst Of speed to over
come the leader and being that leader
holding the lead by half an inch with
a hungry wolf swapping at your fly
ing coattail.
Apparently Glenn actually had to
overcome both obstacles in order to
win, for Rosenberg's seven successive
marks in the final game seemed to
carry him a little beyond Wolsten-
holme, who was slightly off form,
while Max was hitting on all ten
yet when defeat actually faced
him, wolstenholme, with an exhibit
ton of sheer courage that will not be
surpassed and scarcely matched
again in District bowling history, PRO

ceeded to register a strike and four
spares in succession to pull up even
again.
And that final box. After Rosen-
berg had bowled, needing eight to
tie and nine to win, proceeded TO
split the bunch with his first shot,
taking two pins out of the center.
And then that great bowler with the
lions heart went ahead In the most
matter Of fact manner and topped
not six or seven but the entire eight
remaining pins with his next TWO
shots. Wow"
All of which ought to make Glenn
feel mighty proud. But this business
of overcoming leads seems to be
habitual with Wolstenholme In I'M
portant events. He did almost such
a stunt last Saturday in the first hVe-
game block Of his big match with
Earl McPhilomy. At the start OF the
seventh box of the fifth game Glenn
was trailing by number OF pins.
Then he stepped on the gas ana came
through in splendid style to head his
opponent by IA pins at the finish. In
these matches that really mean some
thing, Wolstenholme is a bowler who
does not know when he is defeated.

The original action had been insti

What ever may be said of
Gordon CampbeIIs indiscre-

judgment or ability in COM
merciaI way, to those who
know the man personally and
intimately, he will never be
Judged a criminal. While he
might have been ambitious for

money never attracted him.

prey for unscrupulous and de-
signing schemers who were
ready to pat him on the back
and while he basked in the
sunshine of their flattery, rob

Campbell was anything but al
shrewd business man. His
carelessness in his own finan-
