~ HICAGO, July 2l.-The
Griffs maintain that Man
ager Bucky Harris, who
~ doubles as the batting
practice pitcher now, is better at
the job than was Harold Conn, the

day they kept count, and of l76
pitches by Harris the batters hit
at all except 16.

Witty Cox is accustomed to getting

Barnett and Treder are pitted against

They still pay off on putting.

played next October over the Wood

1t won't assuage the feelings of the
pros. They have no kindly feelings
for Woodholme, which is one of the
longest and one of the trickiest
courses in this or any other sector.

Unfair to Most Players.

A NYTH1NG beyond the 2oo-yard
mark" says Tillingnast, sis be-
yond the range of the great majority
of the players over any course. They
whang away with their long woods, re-
peating precisely the same tee shot
they use on IA or IS other holes OF the
course. Two shots Of any description
will put them on the green, which is
denied them from the tee And 1t is
an assured fact that even the humblest
or most mediocre of golfers like to
blaze away at green that they can
reach if they hit good one"
A series of back tees to stretch out
the one-shot holes for championships
and major tournaments would solve
the problem of length but Tillinghast
Is emphatically against making any
par hole for the average golfer over
l95 yards long.
In his opinion any hole over this
length makes it a tWo-shotter for the
mediocre player and gives the star an
undue edge on the very holes where he
shouldn't have the edge.
One-Shotters Help Score.
"HEN you get a few 3s on your
card you make up for a lot OF
IS. This is where the one-shot holes
come in on the balanced golf course
and that is exactly what Tillinghast
means.
Probably the ideal one-shot hole is
a tightly trapped affair to fairly
small green, of around ITS yards
Given an opening to the green from
the front, the ordinary golfer can roll
a ball up to hole of that size, while
the better golfer takes an iron and
bangs away to carry to the pin.
But lengthen the hole by 25 yards
and the mediocre player has a drive
and chip, and for him it isn't one
shotter any longer. while the expert
simply takes a stronger club and
knocks the ball on the green.
Tillinghast is on the right track.
Even 15oyard holes are plenty tough,
when they're well trapped.

Of the Professional Golfers Associa-

Tillinghast is opposed to the pres

to make the short" holes longer and
would, if he had his way, make the
longest one-shotter not over 1875 yards
in length. Yardages of 240 and 245

and at least one of the best par 3

scored a hole-1n-one twice in one day
on the 1l5-yard third hole at the Roll
ing Knobs course at Fort Smith. It

the hole has been beaten with one

ne hit two parked automobiles, shat

next hole, a 160-yarder, Johnny
marched home with a hole-in-one.
Representative Charles Hallech of
Indiana swelled the Hoosier States

by canning his tee shot from 14O
yards on the 161a hole of the Con-

the Illinois Representative said it left
him speechless for the first time. The
hole is numbered 161s as it Is an

CHARLES CARLSON OF Minneapolis

But on the 165-yard sixth. he sue

him win his match in the second

streets of Dallas crushed by the
news he had just heard.
He had meant that day he went
away to hurry, sell his wares, give
his wife a fright, and return at
once.
But Pedro was a dreamer and
the wanderlust took hold. Simple
husband that he was he never
dreamed his wife would not wait
until his return.
WIFE GONE
And his return, weeks later. was
made in very high spirits indeed.
He was-burSting to tell Maria what
he had done, what he had seen
and how much he had sold.
But there was no Maria-and
only scattered fragments Of the
trailer. Frantically he sought in
formation. What had happened?
Where was his wife?
Gosh, feller. Was that your
trailer? Too bad-reckon your
wife was done for. Bus crashed
into that trailer q week ago. Ten
people killed. If your wife was in
it she couldn't got out alive.
Couldn't identify some of them
they was that mangled. Col dern
automobiles wouldn't allow 'em
on the road. Horse was good
enough for US"
His informant ratified on but
Pedro's ears were deaf. Passion
ate as are all the LatinS, his grief
knew no bounds, his mind no rea-
son.
He started home in his car. It
broke down. Instead Of having it
repaired the crazed man left it by
the roadside and started to walk
even as Maria had done.
He sobbed out his story to all
who would listen:
MY wife died in Texas in an
accident. Oh, if I only hadn't left
her. I wanted to show her what
a good business man I was"
Near Tancanhuitz he met a
startled villager. Eagerly, he told
the man his story. Then he
plodded home.
Only the most imaginative can
surmise the meeting between Pedro
and Maria-the explanations, the
chagrin, the pleasure, and the
promises never to quarrel again.
But almost any one in Mexico
can understand the excitement in
Tancanhuitz when the yillager
who had met Pedro told his story.
But Pedro was dead-Maria had
said so.
"Ah," said the wise ones. "You
did not see the man-you saw his
ghost come home to Maria"
But Maria was dead-Pedro said
so.
"Ah, then that is not Maria
who came home-it. is her ghost
come back to wait for Pedro"
And that is why there are many
villagers in Tancanhuitz-where
civilization has but recently trod
with heavy foot-who believe that
Pedro and Maria Mantillos are
dead, and who adhere to that be-
lief in spite Of the fact that Pedro
and Maria, laughing and joking
with each other as any happily
married couple should, come into
the village every market day.
And what the wise ones will say
when there are little Marias and
PedroS-Who can say?

Ferguson, who has made visits in

demand has been so heavy that most
manufacturers have stopped taking

For many years North Carolina
