 "They aren't so uncivilized as to be without at least a nine hole course, are they?" Dudley grinned slneepishly.

 Dudley sensed his mistake and gathered up his new possessions. He slowed the stuff away and came back on the run. Leaping over the door of the roadster, he slid into place beside Dona.

P.) Not even the Olympic Games
which will be held here from July

influence of racketeers.
Approximately 81. 100000 has
been collected here and in the vi
cinity, during the past IS months
by racketeers conducting fraudu-
lent enterprises in connection with
preparations for the Olympics. This
estimate was made by Florian De

the California Intelligence Service.
De Donates estimate was based
on results of thorough investi-
cation into more than 30 rack

his organization.
"Some Of the more common
easy-money schemes are operated
through agencies selling stamps,

The Value Of Grimes.

In a three-horse race, between
the Cubs, Cardinals and Giants,
such as this pennant campaign of
1882 promises to be, the value of
Grimes cannot be estimated in the
worth alone of the victories he
himself will win.
AS I see it, when the Cubs got
Grimes, In exchange for a $4,000
ball player-Hack Wilson-and a
young pitcher, Bud Teachout, they
acquired the fighting edge that will
determine the winner of the Ma
tional league pennant.

sure, in the infield and outfield

ais are gambling on some young

The Cubs haven't the best out

they have one Of the best outfield-
ers in the business in Cuyler. and
for the other spots there are Riggs

point, Stevie looks to be the clean

of the Chicago Cubs plus Burleigh

penriant this year was not quite
correct, The Cardinals will win
the pennant in that league this
year. A st Louis fan has assured
me Of that. He writes:

first. You think the Cards will

right, but you can take II from me
the Cards win not miss Grimes at
ali. The Cards pitching stan Is
stronger than II was last year. You
forget that the Cards are fight
ing ball club. They never give up
until the last man is out.
Hornsby Not So Hot

cent of a ball club, and that for
that reason the Cubs are in. You
think the Cubs have q stronger
