IN WORKOUT

GEAUGA Lake, Ohio, June 20
Willie Stribling, the Georgia
heavyweight who is to battle Max
Schmeling. German champion, for
the crown in Cleveland, July 8,
will stage another ring drill at his
camp here tonight.
Again, tomorrow night, he will
step into the ring for a brief
Sparring session. Today was
spent in relaxation, waiting for
the two boxing exhibitions.
Stribling received two sur
prises yesterday, one of them
nearly putting him out for the
count. 1t all happened this
way: Strib went to Akron in
the morning after getting an
invitation to attend a Shrine af-
fair o. some sort at DON.
After attending, he was offered
a blimp ride back to his camp,
and readily accepted. It has been
rumored around some that Young
Stribling likes flying. Strib took
the blimp ride and didn't like it
much. Entirely too slow, he said
That was the first surprise.
Another other came in the form
of a telegram from Prexy Bill
Carey, of the Madison Square Gar
den of New York. The message
called Strib down in no uncertain
terms for risking his chances fol
success and the expenditures oi
the promoters who are stagins
the coming battle by riding in
blimp.
"Can You imagine that. That
ride was just like it is said
next to walkin', and they say
I'm takin' chanceS!" the chaL
lenger exclaimed.
However, there will be no more
blimp rides.

Firstly, Malolo is Hawaiian for
flying fish-a singularly appro-
pirate name for a Sailboat, and
this ship is of that kind. Thirty
feet overall, centerboard, inside
ballast, yawl rigged, she is an
adaptation of the famous Seabird
type made immortal by Capt.
Thomas Fleming Day. And in
about 80 days you shall see her
anchored with the other skyrak-
ers off Potomac Park. There'll
be two happy, smiling people
aboard, Jim and Matte Tull.
bodybuilding Family
Malolo builds in North Wood
side. Of evenings Jim hurries
home, eats the dinner Matte has
placed on a table at an open
window so that Jim can between
bites bend a loving gaze on his
dream ship-then hurries forth
to hammer and saw and the COM
pletion of his dream.
And when casual visitors such
as we, inquire as to how and
when and why he builds a boat
and where and when he was
bitten with the boat bug Jim
replies:
"My father, my grandfather,
and his father before him were
bOatbuiIderS and Seamen so
what do you expect?"
Asking further as to what the
original Tull-the one before the
last mentioned-did to start off
this line Of boatbuilders Jim tells
us that this original Tull drifted
ashore from an unknown land
in a walnut shell and immedi-
ately set out to build a ship in
which to return.
Ship after ship he built. but
none proved just the thing.
Finally the old man died, and
upon his death his son took UP
the business of building a ship
that would return them to whence
they came. And so each Tull has
built ships, sailed them away in
search Of the unknown land.
We asked Jim if he knew the
name Of this land. And he told
us then, with a sly twinkle, that
he did, and that the land is the
Land of Dreams and its capital
city is known as the Port of Ad-
venture.

PUBLIC PARKS

HARRYP|TT
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

They pay off on putting: that's
what the professionals maintain.
And it was nifty handling of
the putter that gave Bradley H.
"Ted" Burrows, public links cham
pion, a 3-to-2 victory over Harry
@. Pitt, Manor Club sharpshooter.
in the finals of the Manor Club
invitation tourney.
Burrows was even par for 16
holes while Pitt was three over
par. Par for the Manor Club
course is II.
The public parks titlehOlder,
whom many figured erratic
with the putting blade, ran
down puts of all dimensions
for wins or halves. His exhibi-
tiOn on the green's was the
claSsfest given in any local tour
nament this season.
Burrows missed but one putt
that was sinkable, this occurring
on the twelfth where he was
haf-stymied and couldn't squeeze
by Pitts ball.
Straighter Off Tee
The winner was also straighter
down the fairways than Pitt and
also approached closer to the
pin. However, the loser made
several remarkable recoveries and
played his irons we'll.
Pitt also was accurate with his
putter but not as flawless as
Burrows. However, the Manorite
scored four brides to three for
Burrows. One of Pitts brides
came at the fourteenth when he
canned a 25-footer for a par 3,
at a time when he was three
down.
He tailed another birdie on
the long par fifteenth hole
with a fifteen-fOOt putt but
Burrows, cooler than re-
frigeratOr, followed suit by
sinking a putt of almost the
same size for a birdie.
Burrows didn't hesitate on that
putt. He knew it meant the
match for had he failed. Pitt
would have been left but one
down and it would have given
the Manor player renewed con-
fidence.
The match came to end on the
sixteenth hole. Pitt sliced to the
left and failed to reach the green
with his second. Burrows was
down the middle with his drive
and gained the edge of the green
with his second, Pitt chipped
short of the cup, while Burrows
long putt barely missed the hole.
Pitt failed to get down in a sin
gle putt and they both shook
hands.
Pitt held the lead but once
during the match. After Squar-.
ing the situation with a birdie 3,
in the fourth, he won the fifth
with a par 4 when Burrows

The public parks star evened
the duel on the next hole. Then
Pitt drove into the woods, Bur
rows winning with a par 4. Bur
rows went ahead for keeps at the
ninth with par S, Pitt overap-
preaching the far trap.
Burrows triumph was a sur
prise, as few conceded him a
change with the sharp-Stroking
Manorite who had eliminated
Thomas B. Wooten, brilliant At
lantic player. and 3. in the
morning match. Pitt had also
won the qualifying medal with a
70 and had waded through his
first three matches with ease.
However, Burrows also played a
hot" game throughout The tour

 to the Acre
HOW TO TREAT PLANTS

Lee A. Strong. chief of the plant quarantine and control ad- ministration, has issued an order advancing from October 1 to Sep tember 20 the date on which nurs- cries using thn lead arsenate meth cd of preventing soil infestation with Japanese beetle larvae may start plant shipment in the fall. Heretofore the regulations have provided October 1 as the earliest date for the removal from treated soil of plants intended for ship ment.

 In the same order. the date on which lead arsenate treatment must have been completed is ad- vanced from August l to July 1, in order to make sure that will be sufficient time for killing the lar vac in the soil.
 The material used for this treat ment is powdered lead arsenate in the proportion of l500 pounds to the acre. The directions for appli- cation are given in circular PQCA- 322. issued by the plant quarantine and control administration of the United States department of agri- culture, on August 17, 1881.

United States treasury department were working here checking up on the druggists.
 Yesterday four agents canvassed the city and practically completed their task of visiting every drug store and checking up on "pre- scription permits" those which had reference to dispensa tion of liquor. The federal agents spent consider able time here and took nothing in the form of alibis about the boss" pharmacist being on his vacation. iiouor cabinets and the list of pre- scriptions filed were checked and doubled checked. Whether any or the boys were caught short of slips from the doctors is unknown at present. Checking up on drug stores is something which IS ac- complished more efficiently ana without d blare of trumpets when compared to drives on "hooch joints or speak easies.'
 The federal dry agents failed to make hit yesterday, but on the previous day chalked up a batting average of .5O0, meaning one hit and one miss. William Mankus of 622 South Main street was served with an official summons yesterday as the result of Tuesday night's s raid to appear next Monday before Tinted States Commissioner Harry A, Krasaw. In a raid at lOs Meadow street the prohibition forces lost out. There wasn't a drop on the premises. Mankus was found in possession of some beer and mOOnshine.

STRANGE CONDUCT
 OF YOUNG GIRL
Causing Much Comment Among Summer Resi-
 dents at Quassapaug
SAVED FROM DROWNING

Summer residents at Lake Quas- sapaug were still puzzled to-day over the actions of, a young lady known to some as Helen and be- lieved to be Helen Martin of Grove street." who was rescued twice yesterday from drowning. Thomas McHale of Easton avenue saved her in the afternoon while cast of a score or more featured in the evening presentation of the act. Both times the young girl was taken home in the company of friends.
 Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon Helen had failed to appear at the lake for her daily dip"
 The actions of the young woman in throwing herself into water were interpreted by some as an attempt at suicide, but others were inclined to doubt it. She had plenty of op- portunity to drown if she had so desired. The general impression is that the young woman was either mentally unbalanced or had been making whoopee.

ALIEN NURSES IN BOSTON FORCED
 OUT OF PLACES
Fourteen of Them Employ ed at City Hospital Were Reluctantly Let GO By Mayor

Boston. Aug 20.-UP)-Sum- mary discharge of II alien nurses at City hospital has been ordered by Mayor James M. Curley.
 The action was taken on order Of the city council. which held that employment of these non-citizeps deprived citizen nurses of jobs.
 The mayor acted reluctantly. de- claring that "the plea that the em- ployment of this fine group of wo- men deprives citizen nurses of op- portunity for work does not ring true" He added that even were it true "it would be difficult to justify the severity of the punish ment meted out in view of their long training and the exceptiona character of service which they and other women coming from the game portions of the world have given to the people of Boston"
 Eleven of the IA nurses affected have taken out first papers Tor citizenship. Most of them are na- lives of the maritime provinces.
