Then he took a calamitous at
the par twelfth.
IT knew then that I was sunk"
said AL, later I'm word, gave
up. And suppose I must have re-
laxed"
At any rate, par on the last six
holes at Winged Foot is 3-4-4-5-4-4.
And Espinosa played them 3-4-4-4-
ga. He lost three strokes to par
with that horrid 8. He clipped two
strokes from par on the next six
holes. The strain was off. He shot
his brilliant golf untrammeled.
And, as the strain now had been
shifted to the broad shoulders of
Bobby Jones, that finishing burst
by Espinosa picked up precisely half
a dozen strokes on the toiling leader
in the last six holes, and at the
seventy-second green caused Bobby
Jones to hole a 12-foot putt for a
tie, when, a dozen holes earlier, 1t
seemed the only question was of
how many strokes he would win by.
An pulled Espinosa together for
a final charge Of astounding bril-
lance. A Z spilled Bobby Jones
from sure victory into a desperate
tie.
1t all depends on the situation, In
a golf championship.

Jim Meets His Goal.
Jim has been successful in his effort
to raise the 1855 necessary to send the
entire taRm to st. Louis. With a similar
amount pledged by Loeffler, Jim today
has about $215 in cash on hand, and
pledges that will go over the necessary
mark. If needed. So Jim Is grateful for
many things.
Walter Barrett, who led the qualifiers
at Rock Greek Park. is to leave Wash
ington on July 81, going by automobile
to st. Louis. Phelan expects to be In
St. Louis by August 3, giving him three
days for practice. Fuchs and Robert
son will leave Washington the night of
August with Preston, to arrive In st.
Louis on the following day in time for
two days Of practice over the Forest
Park course, where the title chase will
be held.
Chicago and Pittsburgh both have
won the Harding Cup twice If either
wins this year the cup will pass per-
manently out of competition. But Carl
Kaufman. present holder of the ma
tional title, qualified sixth in the tests

sent his city in the team match. With
Kaufman out. Preston believes Pitts.

hopes will bring the cup back to WASH

lust how any one ever got Joe Dun
j dee into action against a man as
good as Fields is another mystery. Most
Of Dundee's opponents for two years
have been knocking everything of his
frame except his crown, where condl-
lions always were so arranged that said
crown had to remain on, even If his
head was knocked off.
In addition to the $4,000 offered,
Floyd Fitzsimmons must have broken
a world record along the line of per-
suasive debate to bring Dundee out
of his stockade for championship
test. Or 1t may have been that Joe
was getting fed up on the beatings
he had taken while still clinging TO
the crown.
Detroit happens to be one Of the best
fight centers in this or any other coun-
try. So Fftzsimmons should feel safe
in his guarantee, especially as the popu-
lace at large always is more than eager
to see q number of splinters knocked
from any champions block. If Fields
doesn't win, there will be nothing in
the dope that one can look to. If he
does win, he may bring the welter-
weight situation back to its old mark
and wipe away some of the rust and
dust that has collected in the last few
years since Dundee took 1t over.

One of the Old Slogans.

DILL ROPER sang his slogan. 1.-THE
- team that won't be beaten can't
be beaten" into his Princeton teams.
The average was quite high and that is
all one can ask. But every now and
then the other team felt the same way
about being beaten and that always
complicated matters.
THE will to VIM usually is great
idea, but there has to be something
more. The other fellow may have the
same will to win and more stuff to carry
it through.
Luck works out the same way. The
winner more often than not also is
lucky. At least he has better than an
even share of the breaks. But he has
to have something on the side to make
the luck count. And often this includes
q temperament or a disposition that
will stand up against the tough breaks
until the good ones come. Many an en-
try has wilted under hard luck where
by hanging on he had enough good luck
coming to carry him through.

The Hitting Factor In Golf.
A LARGE number of devoted divotees
"A seem to think that the speed OF
the club head is regulated by the speed
Of the hands and wrists IN actlon.
They know that the punch depends
largely upon the speed Of the club head
as it slashes into the ball. So to get
this speed they rush the hands back
and rush the club head forward with
fast travelling hands. The golf swing
is the application Of centrifugal force"
which means power from the inside out.
Club-head power comes largely from
the work of the hands and wrists, but
not from the speed Of the hands and
wrists.
You never get the impression that

Campolo can step around as lively as
m1ddleweight. He has weight and
height without any appearance of bulk
His muscular makeup should give him
q world of punching power If he learns
how to use it in full. He belongs to the
type of material that can be easily i'm
proved and with a little more improve
ment he will deal out carload of
trouble to any one he meets.
1t has been said that any height
above 6 feet and any weight above
200 pounds Is useless in the ring.
There is no reason why this should
be so If the excess height and weight
can be properly trained. Most of
this surplus stuff Is all waste and in
the way. Campolo, in his brief try
out the other night, gave evidence
that he could use 1t.
He still has to prove that he can take
q tagging without dropping or losing
heart interest in the proceedings. And
this happens to be q big part of the
entire enterprise. He has fair left
hand, but with his reach he could de-
velop . much better one, sufficiently
useful to give him q good chance
against any heavyweight he meets. At
least he has the chance to get this far
II he will only get all he can from the
raw material at hand.

This law, which emanated from

to improve and beautify Rome and
the other towns where 1t was in

Thus, IL prospective buyer would
agree to build on a site the owner
had to sell 1t IL he himself had no
intention of building.
This system, under which Cath.

on the holding of vacant land. A
statute that existed In the year
1900 provided that land owner
who did not intend to fuild on his
ground had to sell 1t to anyone de-
string 1t who would improve it.
At that time the once supreme
& vii tribunal Of the papal church,
the SacrA Romano Rota, called the
most weighty and eminent court OF
the world, drew up laws and rem
dered opinions On controversies for
Catholics in all parts Of Europe,
And in the hundreds of tones that
form the opinions Of SIX centuries
Of rota judges, is one decision of
John Baptist Coccinus that reveals
the manner in which the properly
statute was upheld.
John Coccinus was dean of the
rota for % years and was a very
learned judge. His opinions were
usually short, and numbered about
SO year.
On June 5, 1900, Dean Coccinus
rendered an opinion in the case of
John James Ferrari. who petitioned
the court for the compulsory sale
to him Of a piece of land owned by
the German College. Senior Ferrari
lost his case because the German
College replied that they also in

ton OF the city to the full area OF
