Golf 10 Be Resumed
By Bobby Browne||
During July
1886 D. c. Champ About
Recovered From Leg
Broken at Soccer

Bobby Brownell, the blond lad
from Manor, possibly the best anna
teur golfer around Washington,
won't be able to play until the
middle Of July. Bobby got the worst
OF an innocent argument on the
soccer field at Duke last March and
has been laid up ever since from
a broken leg.
The youngster, who won the Dis
trict amateur championship in 1896,
has had a series of setbacks and
now is walking with the aid of a
cane. Major disappointment for
Bobby Is the fact that he won't be
able to play in the national inter-
collegiate championship at Ekwanok,
VT, next week. He would have been
a big factor and a possible winner.
Has Approximate "A.
"The doctors tell me that maybe
I will be o. K. to play in the
national amateur championship
said Bobby. The sectional qualify
ing rounds for this one will be
played at Chevy Chase August q,
with the championship proper
scheduled for the Winged Foot Club
of Mamaroneck, N. Y, in September.
The toughest part of this thing
Bobby said, lis that even though I
soon may be swinging golf club, !
won't have the strength in that
leg to play any extended tourna-
ment. One round or two may be
all right within a month, but as for
any lengthy tournament I'm afraid
that's out for some time"
He has another year at Duke and
another crack at the national in
tercollegiate title.

his first game last night at the
Lucky Strike before cracking Fred

mighty men of Troy today with
only slight hope of cracking the
staunch defense which has enabled
the Trojans to hold the national
collegiate team championship five

As some 223 stars from 70 schools

gram at Minnesota's Memorial

a strong favorite to retain a title it
has won in of the last 10 years.
The only school rated even a fair

mile crown two straight years; Lee
Orr of Washington State, sensa-
tional quarter miller; Javelin Tosser
Boyd Brown of Oregon, AL Blozis,

and host of others.
Jeffrey ranked as the No. / dash

in the Pacific Coast Big Ten meet.
A speedster, who has equaled the
world mark of 9.4 seconds for the

Wolcott, whom some coaCheS be-

machinery to come over the college
horizon in years. is regarded as a
possible record smasher in both the

'This is Luke Granville" he said.
Then he seemed to listen for quite
some time. His face grew first red
and then very white. There was
q blue line around his mouth and
his eyes cleaned oddly as he
slammed the receiver down finally,
and for an instant he was quiet
as if he were frozen.
"Uncle Luke" Lucy ventured, els
anything wrong?"
He didn't seem to hear her. A
curious determination appeared to
creep over him. He pressed the
bell to summon Laval. my hat
and things, Laval" he said shortly.
Eyes, sir. You're going out?"
He threw Laval a whitening look.
sOf course, you stupid asst"
"But-you'll be back for dinner,
sir?"
Eyes. What I have to do won't
take long!" Luke Granville said.
There was terrible, dramatic ring
to the words.
Lucy never forgot that dinner
Laval was so anxious about.
Uncle Luke's was the most cold
~ cynical mood she had ever seen
him in. He was rude to the Bark
leys and caustic with Uncle Merit.
Elizabeth he deliberately ignored.
He baited Guy continually, until
Lucy felt as if she must scream
Guy ate sullenly for a time, but
during the second course, in spite
of the presence of guests, he ex-
eused himself.
It was morning before she learned
that Uncle Merit too had evidently
felt that queer sense of impending
disaster that seemed to fill the
house on Beacon street, for he, too,
had left, soon after she and Greg
had gone to the Garfields' party.
Message From Merit.
Mr.. Merit told me to tell you
he was sorry to run out on you,

inquired about her uncle at break

New Haven for few days, to see

''1t's just like him to duck out,

Lucy said. "But I do wish he'd
stayed"

ding over breakfast that she heard

Rosa Brown, says that he will soon
start on extensive Boys Town tour

ing to one member of each of their

sightseeing trip as a reward for
their efficiency in this mammoth
plant. Among the many places they
will visit are Niagara Falls, points
of interest in New York, including
the Worlds fair, tour of Canada
points of interest in Pennsylvania
Washington, ID. c., and many other
places throughout the U. S.
The Fourth passed off quietly
here. One thing to be noted was
the display of the American flag, at
many homes At the home of Mr..
and Mrs. c. A. Stegner, large flag
waved proudly from its mast on the
front lawn. Mrs. Stegners patriot
ism is probably further inspired by
the fact that her great grandfather
served six years and eight and a
half months in the Revolutionary
war.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wildey Combs of

Singree, and family.

We Travel

We have never been particular
who occupied the other seat wher
they were going where we wanted tC
go. Monday of last week we want
ed to see our cousin, Hugh Ellis
over near Chesterhill We found
the dog warden was going our way
While it was round about, we didn'1
care-the farther we go the more
we see and learn. At Commissioner
Bankes' home we got a hound one
that hadn't done anything and
didn't seem to want to- From there
we went to the J. w. Pierce home
with him, we went to the home OF
his brother, Anderson, where we
had fine dinner, after which We
started after dogs. Unless dogs are
caught on the sheep, or someone
can, and will, swear to them, the
warden can't take them, unless the
owners want to give them up. Some
where in this scribbling we said
something about learning some
thing We found one man who has
a dog that sucks eggs. In fact be
has the habit to the degree that if
he can't find enough of the real
hen fruit to satisfy him. he finishes
UP with glass eggs. We called on
Roe Watkins who was getting the
binder ready to start cutting his
wheat From there we went into
a place that we never knew before
was in North America. Crossing
hills and wales we came to Mount
vile, where Ernest Beard has the
store. From there we went to the
nf ;c
of family of II children, and the
last of the family. He is badly Grip
pied with rheumatism. Mrs. Lowell
is daughter of the late Charley
Baker-a cousin of Floyd and Kyle
Smith and Mrs. Blanche Wells.
From there we went to Chesterhill.
While the dog warden interviewed
Dock Michener to see if he had any
dogs. we talked with our long time
friend Mrs. Hettie Woodward, post
master. After leaving there CAB"
said their conversation was in re-
gard to .Bricker's $40 per month
pension-said Dock Informed him
that Bricker had the money in one
of his hip pockets to give you all
$40. 1t would be a good idea for
all of you to see Dock at once At
ter November will be too late
Dock knows which pocket John w.
has the cash in. We arrived at the
Hugh Ellis home in time for supper.
Mary said she didn't have much
seems that We have heard women
say that before. Hugh doesn't seem
as agile as some years ago. Before
we got home a telephone call from
Deerfield caught I'D with us. which
Informed S. A. that dogs had made
raid on Mr.. Whites sheep. On
account of the late hour we con-
tinued eastward, we thanking the
Lord that We had had a pleasant
journey, and that we were not dog
warden. We arrived home with four
dogs, leaving one that will kill no
more sheep. We still believe the old
saying "The poorer the folks the
more children and dogs they have"
