DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
You have helped SO many peo-
pie out of their troubles, per-
haps you can help me. I am in
a very embarrassing position.
My folks have objected to my
keeping company with one of
my girl friends. I don't know
just how to break the news to
her without making her feel
hurt. If you can tell me just
what to say to her I would APP
preciate it very much.

Why discuss the matter with
her at all, as you say it would
be too embarrassing? There
are times. unfortunately, when
we have to drop people and the
kindest thing is to do it as pain
leSSly as possible. You can tell
the young lady that work,
studies, obligations at home will
prevent you from going about.

Yet these sandlotters are as
serious about the thing as in any
thing. When they're really super
stitious they're superstitious clear
through and yell and holler when
their pet hoodoos arise.
Here's one case where super.
stition is ludricuous. The Western
Electric Nine in the Industrial
League has a pair Of colored boys
as bat boys. Whenever Gale
Hunter; shortstop is in need OF
q safe hit he rubs the stubby
heads of the two dark Completed
gentlemen and therefore raps
out his desired bingle.
Recently in = game when
Hunter went through those
antics and got a hit, the
other players took up the
matter and the two cOlOred
boys had their heads rubbed
ali afternoon. Western Elec.
trio won the game.
The Takoma Tigers have a
cross-eyed bat boy. To Horace
Duffy, pitcher, he is the worst
luck piece the Tigers could ever
have around them. Therefore
Duffy won't go near the kid, not
to mention speak to anyone who
has ordered the kid to do some
thing. And then when anyone
sits on the bats. the whole team
goes into an uproar as it's the
worst kind Of luck to them.
The familiar superstition OF
putting the bats away in the ninth
inning with the game apparently
In the bag and then having to
take them out again because Of a
batting rally Of the opposing
team, is a superstition that the
Big Print Shop Nine, Of the In

Not once, bat twice, have
the bat boys Of that team
pulled that event much. much
to the ire of the players and
manager, who have seen one
game lost and one almost lost
by the action. IL might be
said that the appearance Of
the bats on the ground saved
the latter game.
Then, there Is the wad of chew

that they can't play unless that

their caps, copying. of course, the

4l-This fairway leads to the

dangerous to take Q short cut
to the hole. A sliced ball will
find one of two large traps ON
the right Of the fairway. The
green Is trapped on the front

This is a great one-Shot hole; a

be able to reach it. The fairway

Hole No. 10 (4O2 yards. par A..
Here is a fine finishing hole. The
tee shot should be slightly toward
the left, as there is heavy rough
and mounds to the right Of the
fairway. The green being set on
top of a hill alongside the club
house, the second shot should be
a two or three iron and must
carry all the way. A second shot
played short or to the right will
roll to the bottom of the hill.

keep on the right. The player
taking a short cut is likely to
find plenty Of trouble. The Sec

fully, the green being set back
in the woods and trapped left
front and on the right, with out
of bounds on the right. A No. 3
or 4 iron should be the proper
club for the second shot.
Hole No. 8 (485 yards, par 81
This is one of the finest possible
tWo-shot holes in the Northwest.
Both shots must be we'll hit and
properly placed. A pulled tee
shot will find large trap In the
face of a hill on the left of the
fairway, while a sliced ball will
end ,1p in the woods on the right.
The lake on this hole, which
must be carried with the second
shot, is a real hazard and VIII
become a stumbling block to
many. The green being guarded
by two large traps calls for .ac.
curacy with the spoon or brassle
if the player expects to reach the
green. Here again birdie 4 re-
quires a real effort.
Hole No. 10 (344 yards, par -
Straight down the center from
the tee, but certainly not to the
left or right, where trouble turks
in large traps. Distance as well
as direction is great factor, as
the long hitter will be able to
reach the plateau beyond the 225-
yard mark. A crisp mashie nlbllck
shot should reach the green,
which is elevated, having deep
traps on all sides. The second
shot which drifts to the right or
left will finish up in traps from
12 to IA feet deep. Timid and
overbold players will find trouble
both short and beyond the green:
The second shot should be studied
carefully. otherwise sensational
recoveries alone will bring par.
Hole No. II (484 yards, par 81
One of the finest and sportiest
holes on Interlachen. Many
fine score has been ruined by
trying to cut the corner. Here a
! well placed tee shot will be re
warded by holding the right side
of the fairway. The player with
two sweet shots may reach the
green. For a birdie 4, however,
the safer shot Is to the left:
