He was as scrawny and hairy

mine with q stare of stark incre-
dulity. At once I sensed that
some change of plans of which
she had no information had taken
place. Evidently, the hour for my
execution had been advanced for
some sudden reason inexplicab)e
to her, stunning her temporarily
out of her wits.
I didn't hesitate an instant. It.
was one chance in q thousand, or
q quick death as against unspeak-
able torture in that boiling geyser
caldron.
IKE q stroke Of lightning, !
knocked the blubber knife
from Mad Dogs careless clasp and
clutched his throat to prevent an
outcry, at the same time mutely
imploring Fawn not to raise an
alarm.
In the next second I knocked
him cold and in the next sent the
dogs scampering all except
one, q fierce brute, In whose heart
I buried the knife to its hit.
1t was but the work of a few
moments to bind Mad Dog In the
thongs that were mine . the
work OF several moments more to
gag and lash him in my place
against the center pole.
AL this time Fawn stood in
dumb agony, thousand nameleSS

But not once did she lift :. hand
to stop mt. Not once did her
mouth open to utter that shrill
scream which in q twinkling would
have brought q dozen tribesmen
to the tent and the end of all
time to me. Mad Dog was still in
q state Of collapse. He had not
yet opened his eyes. He was not
aware that his daughter had been
. witness to what had transpired.
On my part, I realized that once
I stepped through the tent flap
into the streets Of the camp only
g miracle could possibly save me.
II I were challenged, all would be
over. ! would be shot down and
the dogs would be set on me to
tear limb from limb.
Fawn realized this, also.
We stared at each other utterly
blank and imuotent. We had not

we do?

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

THE old best-ball combination of j.
i Monro Hunter and George Diffen-
baugh, both of Indian Spring,
worked to perfection yesterday in the
pro-pro tourney played at the Manor
Club under the auspices of the Middle
Atlantic Professional Golfers ASSocia-
ton, and the Indian Spring combina-
ton won the best-ball affair by two
strokes, shooting a card of 81 over the
rain-soaked course to beat Ralph Beach
and Cliff Spencer of Baltimore. who
scored Sc. Although both Hunter and
Diffenbaugh had individual cards Of 70,
they teamed admirably together, Diffen-
baugh picking up no fewer than five
brides, while Hunter contributed three
more. Little George had four Of his
brides in row, holing a chip shot at
the ninth for 3, getting a bird 4 on
the tenth and nearly hol.ng his tee shot
at the short eleventh for an eagle ace.
He then secured another bird 8 on the
twelfth. The golfers played the woods"
nine as the last nine holes.
Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park
and AL Houghton of Kenwood finished
third with a best-ball card of So Beach
had the best individual card of the day,
registering a sub-par SO through the
sloppy going.

pro at the A-my-Navy Country Club,

Columbia Golf Tourney List
May Beat Indian Spring Mark

Middle Atlantic Golf Association cham
pionShip and winner Of the Columbia
tourney last year, the entry list con-
tains every name of note among the
top-notch golfers In this sector Of the
land. All the stars Of Washington
clubs who have figured in tournaments
In this and other years are entered In
the tourney, as well as a host OF visit
ing players from Richmond, Norfolk
and Baltimore. In addition, according
to Chairman James Of the Tournament
Committee, there will be few visit
ing stars from the New York sector,
led by Robert Gwathmey Of Baltusrol.
Veteran golfers of Columbia who
have seen the course year In and year
out since the club moved over from
Georgia avenue to its present location
are agreed that never before has the
Chevy Chase layout been in better con-
dition. The fairways, which many
thought would not come back after
last years drought, are better than
ever, the greens show the effects of
tender care and careful grooming and
the whole course bears evidence Of the
care that has been given it in antici-
patton Of the forthcoming tourney.
The new tenth green probably will be
put in use next week for the first time.
Pairings were being made today by
the Golf Committee for the qualifying
round, and those which were post
marked prior to o'clock tonight and
will be received at the club tomorrow
will also be accepted. The pairings
probably will be announced tomorrow.

Good Golfer Always Must Be
Under Restraint, Says Bobby
JOnes-ssFeel'' Comes and Goes

pulse or physical necessity suggests TO
one Of his muscles that 1t do some
thing else at a particular time, 1t is
likely to yield because the thing 1t is
doing Is not the thing 1t can do most
easily. A golfer who depends upon
finding the feel" more or less acct
dentally never can hope to play con-
sistently well, day in and out, for this
very reason. He must know how to
hit a golf ball and he must know
when and where in his swing to apply
the restraint I have mentioned.
The answer to the question which
started all this is, mot because he
can't play while he is thinking Of the
swing, but because he isn't sure what
he ought to think about, and what he
ought to try to do" Grant, Of course,
that there could be people who have
an irreproachab1e conception of the
golf stroke who yet have not enough
muscular control or sense Of timing
SO that they can play well. Still that
does not alter the proposition that the
man who has the muscular control and
sense of timing cannot play consistent
ly well unless he knows what he' is
doing.
But I think it shows what the prob
lem is when we realize that even the
man with the control, the sense, and
the knowledge finds intervals when his
game is off and he can't find the rea-
son Immediately. There are so many
places to look and so many checks to
make-and sometimes the trouble is
found to be in the simplest and least
suspected place. Golf is game which
must always be uncertain. I don't be-
iece that any one ever will master it
to the extent that several have mastered
billiards and chess. If some one should
do that I think he would give it up.
but that is a danger which most of
us will be willing to risk.
