Spring Club is planning TO leave
Washington late today or tomorrow
to play at Bedford Springs, Pa. over
the week end and to compete In the
annual Bedford Springs tourney. The
group will include the following Roger
Peacock and George Diffenbaugh, who
will play in the pro-amateur tourney
and viii be one of the most formidable
entries. Harry Peacock. Tom Belshe.
Louis Fuchs. John c. Wineman and
c. H. Waller. Several of the local
pros. in addition TO Diffenbaugh, viii
make the trip. Bob Barnett OF Chevy
Chase will play in the amateur-pro
event with w. Beverly Mason.

pionship hopefuls were expected back

are getting ready for their August
tournament. The fellows who play
their golf about sun-up will have
formidable list in the tourney which
is to start next week.
Craig Mckee, Indian Spring cham
pion, is happy again. For several
days Craig went around with long
face because some one stole his bag
OF clubs out of his car. Diligent
search by the law found the imple-
ments in the hands Of golfer who
had bought them for a song and they
were returned to Mckee.
Al Houghton, Kenwood pro, was well
back OF the leaders as the second
round in the Canadian open cham
pionship was being played today.
Houghton had the i'll luck TO be
caught in a rain and wind storm in
the opening round yesterday, scoring
a good rs. This was far too high,
however, for Leo Diegel did himself
form fitting 65. while Tommy
Armour had 60 and a flock Of gents
were between 70 and rs.
We don't see how any one has the
temerity to try to beat Diegel in these
Canadian tournaments, anyhow. There
seems TO be something about the air
in Toronto that puts Larruping Leo
strictly on his game. He has won
four of 'em and is on his way to his
fifth.

Halifax Another Term
for the Neither World

Halifax" i'm the phrase go TO
HALIFAX" is merely a euphemism for
hell" Centuries 40 the town and
parish of Halifax in the west rid
ing Of Yorkshire, England, estab-
lished a severe law to protect its
cloth industry. Under this law,
known as Halifax or gibbet law, the
inhabitants had the power Of exc
cutting any person taken within
their liberty who, after being tried
by jury of 16, was found guilty
of stealing goods Of the value Of
Is pence or more. The executions
took place on a hill outside the
town on market days. A print Of
the old Halifax gibbet, a guillotine-
like machine for decapitation, was
reproduced in book entitled "Hali-
fax and its Gibbet Law" published
In 170S.
Although the last execution on
the Halifax gibbet took place in
1850, the term Halifax law" still
survives in the sense of a speedy
or summary trial followed by i'm
mediate punishment. Because of
the severity of its laws Halifax was
carefully avoided by thieves, beg
gars and vagabonds. Hull in York
shire also had a reputation for
strict law enforcement and to the
underworld characters In England
during the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth centuries Hull, Halifax and
hell were synonymous terms. The
ALTERATION in the names aided to
link them together In the popular
mind. OF the three hell was prob.
ably the least feared, because the
most distant.-Exchange.

Kennewick's the teams the

were dampened Monday with the
outcome of the hard-fought game.
Our hopes had been raised high
that we might break the eight
year-old jinx of losing our football
games to Pasco. 1t seems unwar-
ranted that we should have to leave
the field beaten when we showed
so many gains over the other team.
We aren't alibying, tho. AS far as
the score goes We were beaten, but
we aren't as far as playing goes,
are we Kennewick?
Congratulations, Pasco-on your
numerical scoring. Better watca
out, tho! There's always another
year" and the Lions of '35 are go
ing to be just as hard to beat as
those of '34-or harder to beat.

Tragedy

seriously injured.
Back in 1927 the three children
in the family of Uriah Richards
were killed in a train-auto crash
near Orting. Wash. Several years
later the father was killed BY an
auto. leaving four survivors. A
year ago June these four were
killed in one accident when
train hit their truck.
MANY have been the instances
lNA in which persons hit BY

volved in . plane crash. have
escaped uninjured. And just as
frequent have been strange occur
rences of an opposite nature.
