TT you, Mr.. Golfer. ever become af-
fiicted with bad putting streak,
don't be disgruntlsd and quit the
game. Fight it out and keep on
trying. Your putting will come back.
II you don't believe it ask Davie
Thomson, the professional at the
Washington Golf and Country Club.
For many years Davie had been one
Of the really fine putters among the
professionals around the Capital.
Then last year for some unaccount-
able reason his stroking of the ball
went sour.
Davie knew what the trouble was, but
like most of us. he couldn't stop 1t.
Gradually his putting eye came
back however, and today he is knock
ing the ball into the hole with all the
accuracy which has made his name a
by-word wherever putting is mentioned.
Yesterday he played the Washington
course in 70 strokes, and he holed
enough puts to convince Ward B. Nc
Carthy and Reese r. Hair that the
putting eye of the little Scot Is strictly

FOR BRITISH FLASH
}. S. Looks to Cunningham
as Well as Bonthron to
Bring Back Mark.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

"A yEW YORK, July 17.-Amer-
M lea, once the home Of the
l worlds greatest middle
distance foot racers, today
hailed new king of mile runners,
slim, curly-haired, 23-year-old
John E. (Jack) Lovelock from far
of Dunedin, New Zealand, and
Oxford University of England.
Running for the Oxford Cambridge
team in a meet Saturday against the
combined Cornell Princeton forces,
Lovelock flashed his 1873 pounds Of
racing energy past quartet Of amazed
timers in 4 minutes, 76 seconds, beat
ing Princeton's famous Bill Bonthron
BY seven yards, and shattering the
world record to fragments.
Bonthron ran the distance faster
than any American before him, being
clocked in 4:08.7, but the 2O-year-old
Detroit boy was unable TO match Love-
locks marvellous finishing sprint after
the two had raced stride for stride
most of the way
Thus, under circumstances as re-
markable as any in foot-racing annals,
the mile record passed farther than
ever from American hands, leaving the
track world somewhat groggy from this
fresh attack on time, and the experts
now confident that Lovelock, If not
Bonthron, too, can step the ancient dis
tance In 4:06, or even better. The
young New Zealander proved unques-
tionably that the limit has not been
reached, he may get chance to dem
onstrate it by racing that other Amer
ican college ace, Glenn Cunningham Of
Kansas, this Summer in Europe.

Plumbing supplies are on the

AS yet there has not been any

Sales Tax Is Working Smoothly
In Chapel Hill, Say Merchants

cent rate is applied"
For the collection of the tax,
the revenue commissioner has
devised what is called the
bracket plan" That is, mer-
chants are divided into classes,
according to the proportion of
total business that consists of
sales of articles at a low price.
For example, there are some
merchants a large part of whose
business consists in the sale of
articles at S and 10 cents. To
add l cent to a Scent article
would be a tax of 20 per cent,
and to add l cent to a 10-cent
article would be a tax of 10 per
|cent-either being far in excess
|of the statutory levy of 3 per
cent. So merchant in this
class, who does not make any
addition on low-priced articles,
is directed to make a higher
than-3-per-cent addition on art
icles of higher price The idea
is to effect an average, 50 as to
make the total addition on all
sales as near as possible to 3
per cent.
The opinion of the sales tax
expressed by S. Berman. anoth-
er dry-goods merchant, is about
the same as Mr.. Andrews. Il
do not hear any complaint about
the tax" says Mr.. Berman, Eek
