Fails to Cope With Pros.

"RUT how about that Augusta tour
ney of last year, where Law
son finished sixth with 28a toral?"
we asked Freddie. Lawson finished
ahead of Bob Jones in that one.
"Oh, he did pretty well down there
last year." Fred said. "I was there
and I watched him play. He played
very, very well, but he was quite way
back from winning. That Augusta
affair is high-claSs tournament with
carefully chosen list of competitors.
In a way it is counterpart of the ma
tional open, but it lacks the unusual
kinks of the big open.
You know how at almost every
championship some unknown leads the
parade for e round or two and then
slumps back. Augusta doesn't have
that ACKNOWLEDGMENT like Butch
Kreuger, who topped the boys in the
first round of the open at Oakmont.
But the point I am getting at is
that even without those first-round
flashes, Lawson wasn't good enough to
get near the lead at Augusta. He
played very well, but he just isn't good
enough to whip the pros at medal play.

FANS BOO DECISION
GIVEN SLOW BOXER
PhilIy Lightweight Looks No
Title Threat-Fiery
PreIimS Please.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

IF TONY CANZONERI and Barney
Ross actually have refused to fight
Eddie Cool, they now may book
i the foundering Philadelphia light
weight with little fear of losing any
thing more than gill of perspiration.
Built up as boxer so clever that
neither Tony nor Barney would risk
their titles against him, Cool was ac-
corded a very frigid reception by
Washington's ring colony last night as
he slapped his way to dubious 10
round decision over Cowboy Howard
Scott.
When Cool climbed through the
ropes at Turner's Arena it climaxed
three years of labor for Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn, who previously had
endeavored in vain to get Eddie to
fight here. 1t took local ringworms
less than an hour to forget the disap-
pointing Irishman.
Like being fed a pair of humming
bird wings in lieu OF steak, local flstic
followers failed to become the least bit
aroused over the bout until the de-
cision was awarded to Cool.
No Threat for Leonard.
PENNY LEONARD, retired unde-
feated lightweight champion Of
the world, must have been in agony as
he sat at the ringside and suffered with
the spectators. 1t must have hit the
likeable Leonard hard to witness such
q dismal display in the ranks which
he once ruled.
Lightweights apparently haven't
much appeal to the Districts cauli-
flower cullers. Evidently remindful of
the Canzoneri-Klick f1asco last Sum-
mer at the ball park, hundreds of reg
ular fight patrons probably played
monopoly with the kiddies last night.
Only 1908 fans turned out for the
show
Fighting to establish himself here
after an inauspicious debut New Year
day against Johnny DeFoe, Scott
swarmed all over Cool to take three
OF the first four rounds, the third be-
ing even. Not blow struck during
that time had any more effect than
smashing a bottle of champagne
against the prov of the Normandie.
Continuing the slow tempo, Scott
and Cool weaved. bobbed and feinted
very prettily, but inflicted little dam
age to score an even fifth heat.

Washington Monument Has
Defed Lightning for Years

High winds and electrical storms
Invariably bring calls to the weather
bureau from citizens wondering II
the Washington monument Is still
intact. People wonder why no Sc
rious damage has been done to the
monolith by the heavy static dis
charges. Gaping the 80 feet OF
granite Is a pyramid Of aluminium,
sc by $50 inches in size, and weigh
ing 100 ounces. This was the larg-
est single piece of aluminium cast up
to that time-1SS4. Except for spor-
adic strikes which have run down
the rods harmlessly, no bolt has ever
left It's calling card on the face Of
the column despite the great con
ductivity of aluminium.
The aluminium tip was placed over
the projecting point Of an iron rod,
to which are attached wires leading
to the ground as lightning conduc-
tors. The ground wires end In 4
40-foot well Immediately below the
elevator shaft, thus precluding all

The youthful and comedy ''widder"
Marcia Howe has as her guest her
late husbands niece. Sylvia Hayden. A
stranger, exhausted. finds his way to
Marcia's home. Secretly. he asks her
to hide a package containing jewelry.
She does so. Elisha Wlnslow, town
sheriff. brings news OF a jewel robbery
nearby. The stranger gives his name
as Stanley Heath. Sylvia discovers the
jewels, and naturally believes Heath
is a robber, but. for Marcia's sake. de-
cides to say nothing. Marcia feels she
has altogether too deep an interest in
her guest, but is powerless to over
come 1t. Heath wires Mrs. S. C. Heath"
New York, saying he is safe. He also
orders a man named Currier to come
at once. Sylvia, in her room, bedecks
herself with the Jewels. At Marcia's
approach she hides them there. Heath
asks Marcia to bring them to him. They
are gone, He makes light OF the
loss. Sylvia restores the Jewels TO
their original hiding place. Elisha
Winslow discovers them and has no
doubt they are the stolen gems. and
Heath is a thief. Leaving the Jewels,
ne makes plans for arresting Heath.
Currier arrives. Marcia overhears
Heath describe how he acquired the
gems. and is forced to believe him
guilty of theft. At Heath's suggestion,
Currier investigates the hiding place
and finds the gems! He returns to New
York with them. but his references to
Mrs. Heath have convinced Marcia
her tender dream has been a foolish
one. Elisha and Eleazer come to arrest
Heath. Marcia is indignant. and un-
Willingly reveals to Sylvia the secret
OF her love. The Jewels. of course. are
not to be found.

time. Marcia Is hard, merciless. Her
conscience drives her to extremes.
Even should you get her opinion, you
would not follow 1t. But I'll send her to
you-if | must. But remember, I
warned you"
Il shall not 500 forget that, Sylvia,
nor the splendid loyalty you've shown
today. | shall always remember 1t.
Whatever happens, please realize that
am grateful" Heath said earnestly.
Run along now. and fetch Marcia"
1t was some moments before Marcia
answered the M and when at
last she came, 1t was with downcast
eyes and evident reluctance.
Tell me, please, exactly what hap
pened down stairs" Heath smiled.
She related the incident tersely;
without comment.
Stanley Heath, scrutinizing her with
keen, appraising eyes. could not but
note the pallor Of her cheeks, the un-
steadiness Of her lips, the nervous
clasping and unclasping of her hands.
"And that is all7" he inquired when
convinced she had no intention of
speaking further.
"That Is ALL"
THANK you. Now what do you
think it best for me to do? should
like your opinion"
But how can / give a just opinion?
! cannot judge" she burst out as II
goaded beyond her patience. 81 know
none Of the facts"
A radiance, swift as the passage of
a meteor, flashed across Stanley
Heath's face and was gone.
Suppose you yourself had taken
these jewels and were placed In this
~dilemma?" pressed he.
THE case would not be similar at
ALL"
"Why not?"
"Because-because l should be
guilty"
"You mean-you think"
II do not believe you DOL the
Jewels" was the quiet answer.
Marcia! Marcial Why don't you
believe l took them? Have | ever told
you l did not take them? Ever led
you to suppose me i%nnocent?"
You have never told me anything
about It,"
The man restrained an impulse TO
imprison her hands in his.
Suppose | did take them?" he went
on in an even, coolly modulated voice.
Suppose the case stands exactly as
this shrewd-eyed Wilton sheriff sus-
poets 1t does? What am | to do?"
He saw the color drain from her
face.
81 only know what | should do. were
| In your place. | should go through
with it-clear my soul of guilt"
"And afterward?'
start over again"
"That would be very difficult. The
stigma Of crime clings to a man. NV

such q course"

MORE people could feel fine. be

only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one, the dose Of
which can't be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives,
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret Of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time. and that's why it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
