Girard Cigar Is Not Ten Cents,
Price Reduced to Five. =

The makers Of Girard cigar want
it definitely known that this ten
cent smoke is now only a nickel
Some smokers can't get that through
their heads. But here it is in black
and-white: Girard cigar, five cents.
It seems unbelievable, that's sure.
But you men who smoked Girard at
q dime made the f1ve-cent price pos
sible. Sales Of Girard were so high
and tobacco-costs so low that the
price could be cut in half. without
changing the enjoyment q bit. As
. result, dirard Is now selling faster
than ever-selling faster than any
other cigar In America!
As always, Girard is mild. So
mild, that it never gets on your
nerves" You can light one after
the other and never feel rocky or
! jittery.
Tobaccos from three countries
make up the Girard blend. A triple
blend for nickel, Men. Fans say
1t gives more pleasure than they
ever got from any other cigar. Try
one today.-Advertisement.

His ability to call any brand Of shot

amazed thousands. who often wondered
why he couldn't continue to call his
shots under fire.
That part of it makes big difference
especially in golf. But Kirkwood has
shown that he still is dangerous, for
when his tee shots begin to find the
fairway he is almost unbeatable.

In Brooklyn the first duel between tho
Dodgers and the Giants was halted by

tied at IL. Joe Shaute and Carl Hub
bell each pitched II innings and gave
one run and eight hits apiece. The
tally of Shaute, who retired after
straining leg muscle running out a hit,
was unearned. 1t came as the result OF
an error by AL Lopez. Hack Wilson,
who celebrated his debut by making
three hits, scored Brooklyn's run after
clouting a triple.
Wesley Ferrell, aided by Clint Brown,
recorded the days best pitching IN the
American League to give the Cleveland
Indians IL victory over the st. Louis

before he injured his right shoulder

COLF, as q rule, even among the elect

1OLF, as q rule, even among the elect,
~ is q game Of brilliant streaks and
sudden reversals.
The rarest touch is consistency-the
ability to hit fast pace and hold it
over some extended period of play.
For this reason the Winter and early
Spring marches Of Craig Wood, Denny
Shute and Paul Runyan have been ex-
ceptional contributions to the history
of the ancient game.
This trio set an early clip, starting
nearly four months ago. They swung
out in front Of one of the fastest fields
ever gathered in long distance hikes,
from California to Florida, on up the
Atlantic Seaboard.
And after this all-seaSon sweep they
ran 1928 In the closing tournament OF
the Spring campaign at Virginia Beach
They held their unbroken stride up to
the closing putt.
Through last Summer and Fall Gene
Sarazen dominated the show, with Olin
Dutra parked In second place. They
were the two outstanding winners. The
play of Wood, Shute and Runyan, with
Joe hlIkWOOO SuldS11lIl6 CAAA4Ole1on az
Pinehurst in the North and South open,
lends new interest to a new season.
It indicates one of the greatest bat
ties at Chicago in the next United
States open that the game has ever
known, where even the aggressive play
of a Gene Sarazen will be put to a
rugged test.
Wood, Shute and Runyan have been
fine golfers for some years, but the trio
only came to the needed level Of con-
sistency this Winter and Spring. All
three are sound from tee to green
dependable with wood and iron-not to
overlook the putting touch that usually
collects.

As Armour himself has been rated at

than normally interesting.

to do after his tee shot. But when he

accurate, but I have seen him make
shots that looked to be completely i'm
possible-shots that no one else would
even dream of trying.
'I saw him play shots at Providence

ing distance Of the top.
If the National League race is as
compact and as well balanced as it
now looks to be, this circuit should do
extremely we'll.
The main idea Of the American
League side will be to prevent the
Yankees from galloping over the hill
and far away-too far away to keep in
terest steaming in rival camps.
Just at this early moment the
Yankees look to be the class Of both
leagues. Their one main weakness may
be overconfdence after the runaway
romp last Summer and the world
series cake walk. They are not in
vincible. but they have a margin in
pitching and punch that will be hard

GOOD START MADE

During the late political campaign,
great stress was laid by the opposition to
President Roosevelt on the fact that his
speeches were far too general in their
statements, that there was a lack of
decisiveness in their definition of policies
and that the democratic candidate, if
elected, would prove to be weak and
vaccilating.
There were citizens who were rather
bit frightened at the prospect.
Those who studied the record of
Franklin d. Roosevelt in public life, or
who were acquainted with him personally,
sturdily declared that he would prove to
be strong and fearless leader.
They realized that his habit of giving
consideration to every phase of every
question was not symbol of weakness,
but an evidence of mental strength
He has never been in the habit of
making decision until he has heard from
everyone with an idea bearing on the ques-
ton at issue.
In this way, his final decisions have
uniformly been good decisions and all con-
cerned have felt that their views have
been given consideration.
The promptness with which President
Roosevelt met the financial problem and
acted has caught the imagination of the
country
Here was no weak man, looking
hither and thither for counsel and direc-
ton.
Here was no man frightened by the
situation that confronted him.
Instead, here was a man who instantly
cOmprehended the nature of the trouble
and realized just as quickly what was
needed.
Action followed realization, and al
most before the country realized that it
was facing crisis, the crisis had been met
and remedial measures had been adopted
There can be no panic in such coun-
| try as ours under such leadership as this
There was no hesitancy, no lack OF
decision, no lack of courage, in the presi-
DENTAL action.
| The country looked on, first with
| amazement, then with admiration and
| finally, with supreme courage.
+ I'm the twinkling of a moment the
| situation changed, and instead of facing
! the future with dread and despair, the
country faces it with hopefulness and
optimism.

SOME HONEST BOYS

Not because honesty among boys is
uncommon, but because too much stress
is placed on the recording of dishonesty in
the news of the day, little story from
Humboldt, Sask., Is worth repeating.
Six boys were playing in straw stack
near that town when one of them found a
purse containing S220. This caused them
to search for more treasure, with the re-
suit that total of $94.20 in cash and a
check for S41.49 We're found in the straw.
Did they divide the spoil and proceed
10 use il for themselves? They did not.
They promptly turned it over to the Hum
holdt chief of police, who recalled that
three men had reported being robbed at
this straw stack some time before, and
took steps tn locate them.
Incidentally. the six boys have estab-
lished reputation for honesty which is of
much greater value to them than the
money they might have easily appropriated
to their own use.
