of Sumter, S. c., would have won
the seventh annual Running

The tournament was changed
from alternate to selective drives
this year. which some figured
would make scoring much easier
But the winning score was only
three strokes under the 210 rec.

1892.
Columbus was planning to OBJ

island of Haiti. Already he had
received fine presents from the
chief who he believed to be great
Khan of Cipagno, that fabulous
realm of the Orient Columbus
mistakenly thought he had
found.
But Columbus plans went
wrong. He was so tired from
long watches while the Santa
Maria cruised the island chan
nels that he retired to his cabin
for a nap. While he was sleep
ing, the next in command also
decided to take a rest and went
below. The helmsman, as tired
as the others, decided that he
deserved a rest as much as they
and turned the tiller over to a
cabin boy.

mean he has forfeited his rights

A-Not necessarily. He must

the War Orphans program. The
difference represents the length
