SO.-Claude Rippy, the haber-
dashery salesman of Washington,

If he is as good salesman as he
is a golfer, had established him
self today as the man to beat in
the sixteenth annual national

which gets under way at Harding
Park here Monday.
Rippy's flat statement it would
take subpar golf on the long
Harding course. heightened to
6,719 yards for the tournament, to
win this years title, fell on skepti-
cal ears.
But his par-shattering SO in a
practice round yesterday con-
WINGED the 190'entrants, including
defending Champion Pat Abbott,
Of Pasadena, Cal, that Rippy's 70,
two strokes under par, on his first
trip around Harding was no fluks.

hobby is a pinto pony, shipped t.
him from one of the ranches il

"He's a sweet pony" Mickey

But in this giddy world of change

AMERICANS BY
HOSTILE ANTICS
Threats of Violence
Voiced By Fans
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
Copyright, 1897. by International
News Service)

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Dis-
creetly and somewhat in the soto
voce manner came the develop
ment today that the American
lawn tennis expeditionary forces
brought back (a) the Davis cup
from England and Cd an amaz-
ing story about the singular antics
of William T Tilden, 3D., during
the final day Of the America versus
Germany matches at Wimbledon.
Tilden, practically placed on q
pedestal as exhibit A in the Amer.
lean history of tennis, openly
rooted-the story says-for Baron
Won Cramm, Germany, against
Don Bulge, Tilden's successor, If
not his supplanter; so vociferiously,
in fact, that Americans in the
stands were of a mind to come
over there in a body and offer him
violence.
Most Celebrated
This was the, by now, celebrated
match of the Davis Cup interzone
finals in which Bulge lost the
first two sets, then won the next
two and was down IA in the
final set when he came on to win
at 8-6. There was a challenge
round later with England, but the
Budge-Von Cramm match def
nitely won the cup for one country
and lost it for the other.
Nobody on the Davis Cup team
would discuss the incident today,
which seemed significant. But,
more noteworthy still, was the
comment Of an American col
umnist now Sojourning abroad.
How anyone with American
blood in him." the man said,
could be unaffected by this
thrilling, uphill fight is difficult
to conceive"
Off the Record
He apparently was the only
eye-and-ear witness who cared to
be articulate about it, although
there were some off-the.record
testimony. This had Tilden in
something of a milf because they
didn't roll down the carpet for
him at Wimbledon, as they'd done
in the days when TiIden was Til
den and the famous center-court
his stage on which he postured and
piroutted, as only Tilden could.
AS a matter of fact, they said,
Tllden, helpless against the in.
elastic class-consciousness of the
British, was forced to the ig-
nominy of using the professionals
entrance at Wimbledon this time.
But how, as alleged, could this
possibly arouse Tilden'S supposed
rancor against the American
team? 1t would be interesting 10
learn more on this point from the
gentleman himself.

Hoff Lewis glove. Lewis did we'll
to check the speed of the smash
and thus hold it to a single.
Gehringer certainly was in no
hurry to get to second in the
eighth inning. He ambled along
and finally was tagged out when
he failed to hold second.
Greenberg got only one hit in
the afternoon, but it was a
honey. It scored two runs.
The other day President Clark
c. Griffith complained bitterly
Of the manner in which Bill
Dinneen called balls and strikes.
Rudy York crashed his fiji
tenth home run Of the game in
the ninth with Chef LaabS on
second base. The big Indian
just seemed to flick his wrists,
and the ball rode out Of the lot.
York made good all the nice
things Cochrane said about him
by cracking a home run into the
left field stands, his 14th homer
of the year.

If certain Scottish schoolmaster,
about eighty years ago, had not
been a spare-time plant-hunter, he
would probably have lived and died
an obscure dominic. But his hobby
has indirectly caused his name to
become a household word, says a
writer in London Answers Maga-
zine.
He was Alexander c'Cold Spell)
Buchan, 1829-1910. Being botanist
he studied the weather in order to
try to choose fine days for his plant
gathering expeditions. Cyclones, iso-
bars, high-pressure systems and so
on gradually got a grip on him
until he gave up teaching to become
head of the Scottish Meteorological
society.
The work he and Vice Admiral
Fitzroy did in studying weather con-
ditions all over the world, charting
the winds, keeping records of cloud
mess, rainfall, temperature, and the
rest, turned our age-old study of
the weather into a science. Not un-
til Buchan and Fitzroy accumulated
data from all over the world were
we able to forecast with reasonable
accuracy.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Preventing Rust in Oven.-After
using the oven, leave the oven door
wide open, to allow it to cool down
thoroughly. This allows all mois-
ture to escape and prevents rust.
Sliding Dresser Drawers.-Rub-
bing a candle stub or wax along
the sliding edges of dresser
drawers will make them move in
and out much more easily, even
when heavily loaded.
Baking EscallOped Mixtures
Time and fuel will be saved if
escalloped mixtures are baked in
shallow, wide dishes or pans.
Lining a COat.-When lining a
coat, put the coat on inside out.
Have the lining all ready stitched
up, and slip it over the coat. 1t
will fall into position naturally.
Pin it in place, and finish in the
usual way.
Drying Silk HOse.-Never hang
silk hose over the radiator or next
to any hot surface.
Split Pea SOup.-Six quarts wa
ter, one and one-half pounds beef
shank, one pound pig knuckle, one
pound split peas, two onions,
sliced. Crack the bones and cover
with cold water. Add the peas and
bring slowly to a boil. Boil stead
lily for about four hours, removing
the scum as it rises. AS the soup
begins to thicken, cook slowly in
order not to scorch. Add the
onions about one hour before the
soup is done.
Salt and Pepper Shaker.-A
large shaker containing six parts
salt to one part pepper and kept
on the stove will save steps when
seasoning cooking foods.
Watch Your Step.-Painting the
bottom step of the cellar stairs
white makes it more conspicuous
and often helps to prevent acci-
dents.
