 And rout the enemy-and yawn. They fight each other tooth and

 In primal efforts at solutions Of secret arguments and raw With frequent breaks for their
 ablutions. They snap from roaring rage to
 purrS
 With such impressive speed and
 ease
 That logic's every point ayers Why cats Should-all of them-be shes.

ANNUAL TOURNEY
TO Be RESUMED
Ringer Tournament Will
Begin On Monday
Afternoon

The Cape Fear Country Clubs
annual Women's championship
which has not been sponsored by
the local club since 1912, will be
resumed this year, club officers
announced last night.
The qualifying 10 hole rounds, will
begin April II, and will extend
through April 10. Then on April
20 and running through April "a,
first round elimination matches
will be played. Second round
matches are scheduled for April
1927, and the finals will be held
on Sunday, April %.
Consultations will be played in all
flights starting April Is, and the
finals will be played the same Sum
day as the championship finals.
The flights will be limited to
eight players.
Also slated for the country club
course is the Ladies' Ringer-Score
tournament.
"a Ringer tournament differs
from regular play" Kurt Bohem,
club professional, explained last
night" Whenever player nego
tiates hole in fewer strokes than
that posted on his original 18-
hole round, he asks the professional
to post his new figure on a perma-
nent chart, and draws a ring
around it. This ringer" score Is
then final"
Boehm said a chart will be post
ed in the golf shop and women
golfers will hand in their original
18-hole card as soon after Monday
as possible. -,
The Ringer-Score tourney will
begin Monday and will run
month, ending on April 10. Prizes
will be awarded for the lowest
gross round and the lowest net, the
original acting as basis Tor the
gross and the ringer" for the low
net.

baffled Rocky Mount.
Only the outfield remains ir
doubt with only one sure man,
Donald Edwards, on the meadow
crew. Two lettermen, To-day Fen
nell and Hal Sharpe, saw plenty OF
action last season, but were none
too impressive. Fennell is a good
fielder, poor hitter, and not too
strong a thrower. Sharpe is a fair
hitter but a clumsy fielder.
The new list of prospects are no
more promising. Mike Austin APP
pears to be the best of the lot,
while Joe Warren, Bob Wynn
Tommy Damn, and Linwood Girls
som are all inexperienced.
The best possible solution to the
problem may be to shift Dunk
Futrelle, a left hitting slugger,
back to the meadow where he
played last year. Futrelle is battling
Collie for the keystone position, but
Luke is getting the better of the
deal. With Futrelle in left field,
Edwards in center, right would be
open to w. A. Brown, the brilliant
basketball player. Brown is very
fast on flies, has a strong arm, and
besides being a good baserunner,
who may get on the sacks because
of his height, stands out as a good
hitter. This outfield is only one
persons opinion for the answer
rests with Coach Brogden.

Majority Leader Barkley served
notice on the Senate today he
would hold it in night sessions
the rest of the week to pass la
Dor disputes legislation and get
started on other urgent business
The announcement came as Sen
ators Green Of Rhode Island and
Pepper of Florida. both Democrats,
offered two new substitutes for the
Byrd amendment to regulate well
fare funds such as John L. Lewis is
advocating for the miners. Senator
Barkley said earlier, however, he
hoped to get vote today on the
Byrd amendment.
One substitute would make it pos
sible to organize such funds jointly
between the operators and the en-
ployes, or separately by either side.
It also would require that if the
welfare fund is to be administered
exclusively by one side, the Federal
Security Administrator would have
authority to make regulations to
govern the fund and to provide for
a public audit.
This is an effort to soften the
Byrd amendment, which would re-
quire any welfare program to be
administered jointly as trust fund.
The second substitute is designed
to authorize Secretary Wallace to
