HAS A STAGGERING WAY
I THAT GIVES WRONG IDEA
George l. Declared Not TO Be Cold-Blooded Player
That Some Would Paint Him-His Match
With Jones Given as Illustration.

I Now, ] don't know what George
thought. but | do know he was SO
/ nervous between rouuds--he ended The
morning round ! un-~that he couldn t
sit still i'll the little private locker
room occupied by George and Bobby
and dozen other PLAYERS. He fiji
geted about and finally went out.
Bobby. ! down. was quiet and com
posed and chatting with people who
came in. George was keyed TO mil
lion, ana he finally came through in a
grueling match. And as to the theory
that Bobby had Georges number.
remember what Bobby said to me that
morning.
Nobody is going TO keep on beating
a golfer like George" said he.
No. There was a grim strain on
both. and George was coming right on
his game. and Bobby. after winning
the medal and beating Evans and OUi-
met. was a shade stale. perhaps. He
played great golf; George played better
golf. That was the answer.
Real Sportsmanship.
But the prettiest thing about the
match was on the last TWO holes of
the morning round. It reveals the
boys az sportsmen, both-neither kill
ers nor cold -blooded match players.
At the seventeenth George Eros left
with a rather puzzling putt for a half
ana the great gallery began moving
away Ii was a missable putt, and
George hesitated and stepped back
from his ball The motion had upset
him. Bobby stepped forward and
knoc' ed the ball away. He gave him
the putt At the next green Bobby
had q putt Of the same length for a
Lalf. The crowd was dead still here.
Bobby studied the putt. George started
walking across the green.
Take it. Bobby" he said.
There was a certain illustration in
both instances that the old spirit OF
chivalry is not dead. The Field OF
the Cloth of Gold never saw anything

Preservation of Fords Theater. on

the Government has recently pur-
chased, but as a meeting place for
organizations of war veterans, is pro

Mr.. Rathbone has taken the mat
ter up with Secretary of War Davis,
who is not averse to surrendering the
property, now occupied by branch
of the War Department. He also has
been in conference with representa-
tives of the G. A. r. and other pa
triotiC organizations. The Grand
Army will be without n meeting place
in Washington when the building on
Pennsylvania avenue between -Four
teenth and Fifteenth streets is torn
down to make way for the new De
partment of Justice Building. Mr..
Rathbone will speak on this subject
on January 20 at business meeting
of the American War Veterans and
has arranged to make speeches for a
number of other service and patriotic
organizations.
Mr. Rathbone emphasizes that a
number of Americans annually spend
large sums of money to visit historic
sites in foreign countries, while we
have even more important historic
sites in this country which are not
properly preserved. He believes that
Congress as a whole will heartily sup.
port his effort to make Ford's Theater
one of the great national shrines in
this country.
