Our two nurses and Captain Saul.
nier also our old interpreter accom-
panied us to Cherbourg, which place
we reached about three o'clock. Here
we boarded tender and were taken
out into the harbor, where we had to
wait for the U. S. S. Republic as it
was three hours late, coming from
Hamburg, Germany. The cabin on
the tender accommodated about one
! hundred so the other one hundred and
| fifty had to sit or stand on the deck
and wait patiently. 1t was so raw
and cold that great many of the
passengers caught bad colds. The
Republic finally arrived and we all
went aboard just in time for dinner,
our cabins having been assigned be-
fore leaving the hotel at Paris.
The Republic although not quite
as large as the Geo. Washington and
with smaller state rooms, was very
fine. We had state room $40 on F
Deck and we were very comfortable.
We thought the food excellent on the
Geo. Washington but was better on
the Republic. The dining room seats
three hundred and sixty people.
About four o'clock Of the first day
out, we rounded the Irish coast to
Queenstown where we took on fifty
more passengers, mostly tourists.
Among the tourists were two families
who had been touring Europe and
came home on the Republic, had their
big cars right with them. They were
brought up out of the hold onto the
tourists deck just before the ship
docked. While taking on passengers,
mail, luggage, etc. at Queenstown, a
number of mothers and daughters
from the "Old Sod" came on board
and displayed handkerchiefs and
lace. The coast of Ireland around
Queenstown is very beautiful. We
were glad when we got out Of the
Irish sea, however, for it was choppy
and many of our Gold Star Mothers
were seasick. In passing around by
Newfoundland we failed to get a
glimpse of the land but we saw num-
erous large fishing boats.
The usual round of amusements
were held on the boat. Catholic mass
every morning, Protestant services
twice on Sunday and Wednesday. A
Masquerade Ball was given on We'd
nesday evening. The costumes were
all quite original. Some of the
things represented were "U. S. S.
Lines" 'The Clock that no one paid
any attention to while on board"
Letters that weren't sent home,"
"The Ships Smoke stack" "Siamese
twins," etc. Our nurse who repre-
sented an Irish scrub woman won
first prize. On Thursday night a
concert was given by volunteers from
the passengers for the benefit of
Seamen's Charities. A collection
around $75 swelled the fund.
Thursday night, also our last night
on the boat, we were rendered our
farewell dinner. The dining room was
beautifully decorated with colors in
the shape of flags, both large and
small and streamers, fans and firing
es, etc. Favors consisting of the
menu card, a small white silk flag
and balloon advertising the U. S. S.
Lines, a fancy crepe paper cap, which
you were to don Immediately upon
setting into your meal.
On Thursday also about ten a. m.
our pilot came on board and thus be-
gan our trip into the harbor. Friday
at the twelve mile limit the Republic
had to stop. This was surprise for

CANDWICH. England, May Il.
49, Hoping for their sixth
straight victory in the team
~ series, Bobby Jones Ameri-
can Walker Cup golf team begins
a two-day battle with Britain's
picked amateurs on the Royal st.
Georges course tomorrow.
Great Britain never has beaten
the United States in Walker Cup
competition, inaugurated in 1922,
but the Britons' chances this year
are considered much brighter
than they were, for instance, in
1928, when the competition was
last played.
The series consists of four two-ball
foursomes and eight singles matches.
The foursomes will be played tomorrow
and the singles on Friday.
Jones has made the following pair
ings for the foursomes:
George Won Elm and George Voigt.
Donald K. Moe and Roland Mac
Kenzie.
Robert T. Jones, jr., and DR.. o. F.
Willing.
Harrison r. Johnston and Francis
Ouimet.
It is expected that Sir Ernest Holder
ness and j. A. Stout will pair and that
the other British combinations will be
William Campbell and j. A. Lang;
Robert Harris and T. A. Torrance,
Roger Wethered and Cyril J. H. Tolley.
Yanks Practicing Steadily.
The Americans have been practicing
here steadily since Sunday and have
found the course plentifully supplied.
with pitfalls for the unwary. Jones
has declined to make any predictions as
to the outcome of the match, other
than that he thinks it will be close.
For the singles, all the Americans
will have to play but Great Britain may
use Rex Hartley, who beat DR.. Willing
for the st. Georges vase on Sunday,
and j. N. Smith in place of two of the
foursome players.
The first International match between
the United States and Great Britain
Americans winning 8 points to 8. The
Walker Cup competition was instituted
the next year and was first played over
the National links, Long Island, in 1922
It resulted in an American victory, q
to 4.
In 1928 at st. Andrews, the United
States won 612 to 512. At Garden City
N. Y, in 1924 the count was to 8. with
the United States again on the winning
end of the score, and in 1925 at st
Andrews, Great Britain was beaten by
6h to 51k.
The 1928 matches were played al
Wheaton, Ills, and the invaders wor
only one match as the American team
swept through to an Ill triumph, the

SO net hole score of 159. Only one shot
away was Mrs. Ora Emge of the Beaver
Dam Club, whose total of 100 was low
until early in the afternoon of the final
day of play, when Mrs. Rhyme, a late
starter, came to the eighteenth to secure
to win by single stroke.
Mrs. Rhyme, who is one of the leading
women golfers Of the Bannockburn Club
played what she described as my very
best game" to secure the 81 she needed
on the final round to win the trophy
Her scores for the two rounds were 100
and 81, total Of 1911, with a two-day
handicap of 80, which gave her a net
OF 159. Mrs. Emge's scores were 93-97
-30-160.
Low gross honors went to Mrs. John
N. Hodges of the Army Navy and
Marine Corps Country Club, who turned

won the tourney last year at Chevy
Chase, and her 80 yesterday was the

Mrs Rhyme picked up birdie and
an eagle against womens par on her
final. trip over the difficult Indian
Spring layout, securing a 4 on the sec
end hole, and an eagle 4 on the par
fifteenth hole. She was out in a. and

eagle Is NOT HURT
BY ROMANTIC STEP

NEW YORK, May II (C.P.A).-Why
Red eagle wanted to resign from the
Army TO accept from college and COM
nercia1 sources q much larger income
than he would have received as second
lieutenant, has been dramatically, also
economically, explained by the discovery
that for two years eagle has been a
married man.
30 now, within less than month OF
che day he would have received his COM
mission as an officer in the United
states Army, he has been forced to re-
gign from the service and retire to
private life as, under the Academy reg
ulations. no cadet may marry prior to
graduation.
since, as the saying goes, "an the
world loves q lover" eagle probably will
lose none of the affection and admira-
ton which he long ago won from the
general public. He married his child
hood sweetheart and therein lies story
as pretty, as full of heart interest, as
any love story one might read In the
fiction magazines or in history. When
that occurs sentiment inevitably re-
spends.

CHICAGO, May 14.-Chicago and

peared to be just another Big Ten base
ball game, with Wisconsin leading the
1880 championship race by o wide mar
gin.
Purdue climbed out Of It's tie with
Chicago for last place yesterday by
trimming Indiana, z to S, at Blooming
ton, but victory for Chicago today
would renew the deadlock at victories
and defeats each.
Wisconsin will 60 back into action
Saturday with Chicago and is figured
to add another triumph to its unbroken
string. One more victory virtually would
assure Wisconsin of its first base ball
title since 1912. .
