Collett Of Providence, r. T.. won her
fifth, North and South woman's golf
championship with an easy 4.and-3
victory over Miss Virginia Van VIE OF
Chicago.
Miss Collect had won the title four
times prior to this year.
But for some weird putting on the
first nine Miss Collect might have won
by score that would compare with the
rout at Hot Springs. Va, last year when
she yanquished Miss Van We. E.G12.

w. w. Watt, who has been named

They form the chief topic Of sideline

been Of interest only to the other sex,
but now they involve q problem to be

as her brother. To smoke or not to

From personal observation, We should
say 1t Is a many-sided problem that
must be decided individually rather
than en- nasse. There are some who
would be greatly harmed by smoking
while others might not feel the effect
at all. We do not say they might not
be affected-but their constitutions may
be able to take care Of whatever strain

To-them the best advice would be
to use their own Judgment and

As rule. however, for the SWIM

smoking undoubtedly has its effect, and
that far from beneficial. In the case
Of the runner we should venture to
say that it Is one Of the habits which
are well-nigh fatal to aspirations. For
the average basket bail and hockey

Don't misunderstood us-the occasional

the golfers Of the club. Two teams
totaling - men, with IL on each side,

be placed on the ladder in the order
Of their scores. Any player on the
ladder may challenge player two posi-

be entered on q book provided for that
purpose in the caddie house and the
player challenged must play the match
within week or lose his position on the
ladder. The challenger must arrange
the match. Should the challenger lose
he will not be permitted to challenge
the same player again for 80 days. AS
a finale to the season 1t is planned to
have an interteam match between teams
within the club.
As was done last year. the member
ship will be divided into two classes,
according to golf skill. those handi-
capped at 80 and less going into Glass A

The Chance for 3 2-5.

The Chance for 3 rs.
~ RACEY of Rice Institute has
been timed in 9 rs seconds,
with a slight wind at his back.
His trainer still believes he Is
good for Us over this route
without favoring wind. The same
belief Is held concerning Percy VIII
liams, the Canadian Olympic champion.
His trainer also is sure that williams
will do Us for the hundred before
1929 has dipped into past history.
The main difficulty comes in ad-
justing split seconds to yards. A
fifth Of second at this clip means
nearly two yards. Measurements to
be nearly true, or timing, must be
made in tenths of a second. And
even this is difficult work. One
Splinter might beat another by
yard and yet beth might run in
8 3-5, since one yard would repre-
sent less than a fifth Of second.
Some sprinter will be timed in 9 2-5
before the year Is over in all prob
ability. Whether he will meet all the
conditions of timing and judging and
wind Is another matter.
Nurmi and the Mile.
THERE was time some years ago
i when Nurmi. under the best of
=eenditions. pressed to. the limit, could
have run the mile around 4:06. He be-
lieved that he might even beat this
mark. But there Is small chance now
that he will ever equal his own record
again of 4:10 Us. He has run himself
out of some of his stamina or some
of his speed, to Judge from recent ex-
hibitions. Nurmi has been in hard
competition now at least for 10 years.
The old elastic spring or the young
elastic spring in ones legs doesn't last
forever. He Is still great distance
runner, but doubt that any one will
ever see again the great Nurmi Of
1924, when he ran away with the Paris
Olympics. He might have beaten 4:08
been any mile to run. He had the
speed and the stamina on that occa-
sion to beat any one in the world from
the mile to the marathon, inclusive.
The Test of Form.
THE test of form is consistency. For
L example, a ball player hitting in
bad form might get three or more hits
any one afternoon. But he is never
going to lead the league.
A golfer with serious faults might
shoot a 10. On a certain day there
might be q blend OF faults that worked
out for good results, largely by acci-
dent. Such golfer would never have
a chance for championship. Lack of
form, or lack of the right form, would
soon eat into his nervous system.
Form, after all. Is nothing but
mastery Of the fundamentals. To
many 1t means grace and other
fancy trimmings. 1t Is possible to
look fairly awkward and still have
fine form. Honus Wagner was not
the most graceful ball player in the
world, but his playing form was all
most hawless.
Why is it that certain competitors,
apparently backed up by good form,
never get anywhere? Largely because
they are net temperamentally fitted for
competition. Their form Is only flaw
less when there is no heavy pressure at
hand. Almost any golfer can show
good form at Ticking the head from a
dandelion or humping a cigar butt.
Hitting a ball over penalizing hazards
is another problem. In the first case
they are relaxed. In the second they

ACCIDENT IS FATAL
TO UMPIRE CR0OKE

Z -
Hundreds of ball players and fans
sorrowed today over the death ut
Quantico yesterday Of Umpire Tommy
Crooke, who was injured Thursday in
the Cornell bus wreck.
Crooke was ball player, manager or
umpire for nearly 80 years. He played
flrst base for Washington during 1908.
Much of his career as q performer was
spent in minor leagues.
He was always hard hitter. As an
umpire he saw service In the Virginia,
international, Pacific Coast and West
ern Leagues this year was consider
ed for berth in the American Associa-
ton. Crooke's fearlessness distinguished
him as an arbiter.
Many stories are told Of his vigorous
handling of situations that impertled
his own physical being.
