four-ball, won last year by Runyan

players will be invited to take part
while two Canadian professionals and
four American pros will be selected in
a 36-hole qualification round. Invi-
tations for the Jones tournament at
Augusta are out, and undoubtedly this
will be the outstanding event in public

Jones Amateur" in Spirit.

A1OW Jones never has been branded
~ publicly with the term pro,
fessional" You could sound
out sentiment among the top-hlght
amateurs Of the game and they would
not declare that Jones is protes-
sional. He never has accepted money
for teaching the game, except that won
in the movies, and Bob turned out
fairly competent actor He never mas
accepted q money prize IN compeu-
tion and he has not given lessons for
30 much per lesson.
To us and to a lot of folks Bob
Jones still IS an amateur golfer, and one
who. even though he has made lot
of money VIA the movie-got route,
still is fired by the amateur spirit.
Undoubtedly Bob will finish in the
money at Augusta, and he probably
will win the tournament. 1t Will be
among the outstanding sport thrills OF
1894 to see the Great One again up
there scrapping for the lead. And
will he take the money if he wins
any? You can get plenty of odds that
he will not.

Gallagher was a favorite by
odds of 3 to l or higher today
as the heavyweight fistic rivals
awaited the opening gong for
their scheduled 10-round scrap
tonight at Portner's Arena.
BY ring time. it was predicted, the
odds may be even longer with a pos
sibility that Kennedy supporters will
be given odds on the ex-copper min

Marty will be the heaviest favorite OF
the indoor season at Portner's.

The pair met here q year ago and
Marty was awarded vigorously
bcoed decision after eight rounds, but
ring experts are throwing that tussle
out as means Of getting a line on
the hefties tonight.
Strangely enough. the biggest rea-
son why Gallagher is a top-heavy
choice to triumph probably is due to
much inactivity since that Kennedy

rounds, following it, knocking out
Bob Tow in four rounds shortly after

will not merely rise himself; he
will take the whole of the
Mexican nation with him in

the hope of material reward.
His reward is the clean-cut
record of an intelligent patriot.
And he has one enormous ad-
vantage-he does not believe in
talking. Talk has always been
the curse of a democratic form
of government. For rhetoric is
the opium of the masses.
How many of you remember

your head off from sheer emo

you put all his speeches in

his conclusions exclusively upon

as this tiresome walk I'd chosen
for myself.
Why did we go on with it?
Just then the trail, which
had been vaguely mounting,
swung out upon a height and
the country lay outspread be-
low. An uninspiring scene
the same monotonous miles,
checkered fields, huddled
shacks.
But one thing I had not
noticed before. From East to
West between walled fields
there ran the faint blur of a
narrow lane.
1t was an odd passage-far
from the mair highway-with
no connection with the farms
on either side. What then
could be its purpose? Five
miles on 1 found an old farmer
who told me.
It was, he said, "The Kings
Highway" No one in living
memory had ever used it, but

were kept open for the kings

Night or day he might come
racing by, with thunder of hoofs
and the clamor of horns, the
mystery of his passing quicken
ing the quiet fields and simple
homes.
And always, no matter how
drab the day, there it lay between
the drab burrows, a symbol of
strange and splendid wonders.
He was a plain old man in
faded overalls, that farmer-but
his eyes gloWed as he spoke with
pride of that departed glory.
Turning home I, too, felt that
glow.
The rocky trail, the monoto-
nous fields, were no longer the
same. The meaneSt acre seemed
