n INEHURST, N. c., March
- ga 27-year-old Caro-
lima professional with a
brand-new putter and a
score 5 under par was the man
to beat as the final SO holes of
the thirty-second annual North
and South open golf tournament
started today.
He was Henry Picard of Charleston.
The score was 1877 for the first SO
holes of the event and the putter was
doing black magic along the grained
carpets Of Pinehurst's sand greens.
The slender Charlestonian yesterday
leaped into the van of the formidable
competition when he returned a SO,
three under par, to 90 with his 69 OF
the previous day.
Bill Mehlhorn, the stocky Louisville,
KY, pro, who led at the end of the
first days play, dropped into a tie for
second place with Mortie Dutra, the
Detroit Spaniard, with l39.
Mehlhorn carded a 70 to go with
his opening round SO. Dutra yester-
day shot sizzling 81 to pair with his
first round 70.
George T. Dunlap, jr-, the amateur
champion, playing over his familiar
home course. pulled up into tie for
fourth position with Tommy Armour
of Detroit, with 141 Witty Cox of
Brooklyn was a stroke behind, with

Improvement of Wethered

~HICAGO, March 29.-At
first glance Great Brit
aims 1884 Walker Cup
team does not appear
any more formidable than those
of previous years, all of which
met defeat at the hands OF the
United States amateurs.
The British usually are tenacious
on their home fairways at st. Andrews,
familiarity of terrain and climatic
conditions offsetting to large degree
the patent superiority of the Amer
leans, and since four of our men will
be making their first trip abroad the
matches may be close. But at the
most, Britain does not appear to have
the artillery with whicn to win the
international cup
Cyril Tolley and Roger Wethered
are veterans in international play and
are about the best the British ever
have mustered for the Walker
matches. Tolley has competed in five
of the seven biennial duels and
Wethered in four AS a team in the
foursomes they were the most con-
sistent winners in the British ranks
Tony Torrace, the Scot is another
veteran and Great Britain's best per-
former, having won two singles
matches in four tries against the
Americans.

the equal of Eric McRuvie. who for
some reason has been omitted from
Britain's 1884 team. McRuvie was
slaughtered, 10 and 9. by George Dun
lap at Brae Burn, but the current
United States amateur champion was
away to a 66 on the morning round
and the Britain never had chance.
BY way Of recompense, McRuve quail
flied for the United States amateur,
being the only Briton to make the
grade.
OF satisfaction to the British Is
the fact that Roger Wethered is
driving very long and straight this
Spring and that Cyril Tolly is much
steadier than in the past. Wethered
always has been long hitter, but in
clined to wildness. which was costly.
Tolley's long sojourn in the United
States appears to have steadied his
entire game without detracting any,
thing from its rugged power. Those
two British veterans likely will give
the United States a bit of worry par
ticularly if they are paired again in
the foursomes.
Allowing for the improvement of
Tolley and Wethered and the develop
ment of Fiddian and Mclean. it is
difficult to toresee Britain winning
the matches. Not against such young
gamecocks as Johnny Goodman, Law

Prepare
Meat

The method of cooking a piece
of meat should depend upon the
cut. Moist heat Cooking in
water and braising) is preferred
for tougher" cuts and the more
tender cuts cooked by dry heat
(broiling and roasting).
If you will apply the following
directions when preparing your
meat for the table, you will secure
the best results:
How to BrOil
Thoroughly preheat broiling
oven with oven regulator set as
high as possible. Place meat on
rack about three inches below
heating element. Broil with oven
door open. When nicely Drowned
on one side, salt and pepper and
turn. Broil on other side until it
reaches desired degree of done
ness.
How to Braise
Brown in hot lard. Add small
amount of liquid. Cover closely.
Cook slowly until tender. Pot
roasts, Swiss steak, pork chops
and veal chops are all cooked by
braiSing.
How to Roast
Place in pan fat side up. Add
seasoning. Do not add water. Do
not cover. Do not baste. Roast in
a moderate oven (300-350 deg. F.)
to desired doneness.
How to "BOil''
Place meat in kettle. Cover with
hot water. Simmer slowly, do not
boil. Cook until tender. Vegetables
may be added just long enough
before serving 50 that they will be
done.

A mistake frequently made
70 that of referring to the
Eskimo Spitz," a dog that does
not exist.
The Eskimo and the Spitz
are two distinct and very diff
ferent breeds.
The former, one of the sledge
dogs of the North, is much
larger than the Spitz, more
rugged and more closely allied
to the dogs distant kinSman,
the wolf.
The resemblance of the Es-
kimo to the wolf is marked,
especially in his long muzzle
and his erect triangular ears. His
eyes are obliquely set as are
those of the wolf and he has
the VOLTS long, Furnishing jaws.
Not a pet dog by any means,
although we have known own
ers of Eskimo dogs who Swore
by their pets good temper and
loyalty.
Great Endurance
The EskimoS do not as a
rule bark. They howl. A weird,
long drawn out, wolf1Sh howl
that sends the shiVerS chasing
up and down the listeners
spine.
Their endurance under hard
ship is unbelievable. On long
tricks in the North they have
known to go on three meals q
week and to eat anything from
greasy trousers to their own
harness.
The Spitz, on the other hand,
is decidedly a pet dog. He is, in
fact, only a large sized Pomera-
nian, one Of the better known
and most popular of the toy
dogs. He is much like the Pom
eranian, too, in his manners and
habits.
The Spitz is an attractive lit
tie dog, very devoted to his mas
ter and immediate circle of &C.
quaintances.
He does not, however, relish
the company of strangers and is
inclined, especially as he grows
older, to be a bit snappy. This
is not. however, due to any de-
sire on his part to be disagree
able. He doesn't like strangers
and resentS their intrusion In

How they have painted life's
divinest things
In words so splendid, new
words are as shade
To sun, as feet to soaring

We know how futile any

Which follows after perfect
speech is said;
Our poems are as moths tossed
out to sea,
While theirs are strong gulls
wheeling overhead.
In spite Of this, who can from
song refrain
When it is passion of his every

When through his veins is
poured the lyric strain
Who can keep silence and re.
nounce his dover?
We know old poets sung sub

Yet each new heart has its
own tale to tell!
