was hot at Colombo but failed at Singapore.
The ship in fact was between the two ports.
She carried no wireless news hungry world
went to bed without knowing whether Mr..
Webb still had the lucky number or had sold
the whole or part of it to friends.
Mr. Webb arrived at Singapore. From there
he broadcast to the world that he no longer
had the winning number. 1t belonged to
Abrahim Dawood Kazi, a Mahometan timber
merchant of Bombay for whom he had OBJ
tanned q hundred tickets. Abrahim Dawood
Kad was chased down. Here enters one OF
those whimsical caprices of fate which happen
so much oftener in real life than in fiction
authors not daring to be SO improbable.
Ninety-nine Of Mr.. Kazi's hundred tickets
were in the names of individual members of
the Kazi family, but the hundredth and win
ming ticket had been divided up. Half be-
longed to Kazis baby; the other half had been
resold to Charlie Murray and A. Rozirio fore
men in firm with whose oficials Mr.. Kazi,
having business dealings with the hrm, desired
to stand well.
So far, so good-although not so good from
Kazi's viewpoint. Enter now complication m
the dusky person of q co-religionist Of Mr.
Kazi's one Abbas, employed by q Bombay ship
ping firm. Abbas had bought a quarter share
In one Of Kazis tickets (That merchant seems
to have bought his sweep numbers like q box
Of Christmas cigars-to hand around)
Sunk in the fatalism of the East, Abbas had
taken it for granted that the gods Of luck
could not smile on him, and since the race
he had not looked at his number. But when
the name of KaN cropped up he hastily dug it
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-02

out and found that what he held was quarterr
share in the gold mine =.
Once reused Abbas showed himself a man
of action He approached the timber merchant,
who handed him the Eastern equivalent to
slip 'twxt cup and lip In short Mr. Kazi told
Mr. Abbas there was nothing doing. The un-
fortunate Abbas then discovered that a CAL
cutta sweep ticket represented merely by .
number is an intangible thing.
THINKING that he at least could prove the
transaction he set forth to file suit IN the
high court but overlooked the fact that the
same law which forces the Calcutta Turf Club
to substitute numbers for tickets operates also
to place any transaction respecting the said
number outside the law. Although probably
every one connected with the court, from the
judges down. had bought their numbers and
cursed their luck, the court Oficially frOwned
upon the distracted Mr.. Abbas and refused to
admit his suit.
Then Abbas did the right thing. AS q sports
man he appealed to the sportsmen of the Royal
Calcutta Turf Club. The club suspended pay
ment. The stewards went into private session.
studied the facts the allegations, also the prob
abilities, having regard to the persons con-
cerned, and Abhas got judgment to the tune OF
$4,000.
So out of his winnings of 81, 250,00O Kazi
had to pay $685., 600 to the two foremen, SIS 600
to Abbas and $125 900 (his 10 per cent under
sweep rules as the seller of the ticket to ~
winner) to the Englishman Webb.

 There is the nuisance who sticks his peg any place on the tee, regard less of where the tee markers are. He walks all over the tee and final ly selects . nice new spot of grass on the tee and tees up there.
 There are two different rules cov- ering this subject. In match play, here is the ruling: 'If . ball is play ed from outside the limits of the teeing ground, it may be at once re- caller by the opposing side, and may be re-teed without penalty. In other words. there is no penalty. except if you happen to get off | nice 200 yard drive when teeing ahead of the markers. your opponent can make you play it over.
 In stroke competition it is diff ferent. Here's the rule: "If at any hole a competitor plays his first stroke from outside the limits of the teeing- ground. he shall count that stroke. tee a ball. and play his sec- ond stroke from within the limits.
 The proper place to tee your ball is square between the markers- never in front of them.
 The greenskeeper has selected the best spot on the tee for the markers and they are put there for you to use. Always see that you have teed the ball in the proper spot.

Two year old 70. G." runs second to the old favosife brand enfrenched ct HARVARD for more than I years

Two years against fourteen. .. comparatively new cigarette against three veteran brands. Yet OLD GOLD, the ycungster, almost won! It defeated two of its veteran contenders ... and nearly defeated the third!
 This is the story of the Public Cigarette Test conducted at Harvard, by Edward I. Batchelder of "The Harvard Crimson" Editorial Board. With the single exception of the test at liar. yard, OLD GOLD has scored an unbroken string of victories in these comparative taste-tests. But at Harvard, where pipe smoking is tradition and the taste is for heavy tobaccos, smooth and mellow OLD GOLD faced its hardest contest. l48 undergraduates smoked and com. pared the four cigarettes with names concealed. Yet OLD GOLD stood second in its total of ''frst choicest" It barely missed defeating the brand established at Harvard IA years!
 Man O War, the greatest horse of his time, lost one race. And in its first and only defeat, OLD GOLD, the two- year old, felicitates the fourteen.year old victor.
