l . few years' of my life have been
and, therefore, I have had but little
time to follow other players’ games.
Last week, however, In the Western
at Homewood, Mr. All lsj put me so
abruptly out of tho game that I had
ample time to follow the matches and
could not see why so many Interested
people did not disturb me and make
me nervous. Players, however, are
not much disturbed by a watching
multitude, and they usually play their
best games at such times. If 1 do
much more acceptable to the player
to have a single Individual directly
behind or in front of me. This is the
commonest mistake made by the in
nocent spectator, for he wants to
watch the ball's line of flight. This
Is especially bothersome to me on
the putting green. I love the strange
quiet when the shot is being exe
cuted, and the buzzing comments of
hundreds of voices as the body of
people begins to move along. Now
and then one hear3 a woman, un
acquainted with the etiquette of golf,
lifting her voice in .hurried speech
above the breathless quiet of the
crowd watching the execution of a
difficult shot. This makes it hard
for the player, and i’ Is all the worse
when the loud speech concerns some
thing utterly foreign to golf.
Player Should Ignore Crowd.
The player should never notice the
gallery except as a whole; singling
out individuals is a mistake. The
spectators of other sports are usually
stationary, but the golf gallery moves
around the course after the player.-'.
This frequently obliges the player to
pass through the gallery to his ball,
and then he is usually grasped from
all sides by his friends; at such
times they tell him that they have a
bet on him, or make some other ri -
mark equally encouraging when he is
playing badly. This is very bad for
the player, and there is nothing mot
likely to prevent concentration of at
tention upon his game.
Personally, I like to talk to peoph
in the gallery when I am playing, bui j
the more successful players never do.
At such times 1 like to see my friends
and I hope that they like to see me. 1
“LET WILLARD GET A REP,”
WIRES BURNS TO JONES
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2.—Tommy [
Burns, manager of Arthur Pelky, and !
Tom Jones, who looks after the inter ,
ests of Jess Willard, are booked to
hook up in an interesting battle of in- j
vectives and near-blows within a day
or two.
Jones wants to match Willard against
Pelky, but Burns in a telegram to-day
says that Willard must go get a reputa
tion before presuming to challenge a
champion
“Gunboat Smith is the man Pelky
wants to meet,’’ said Burns. “Smith beat
Willard, and then again, Charley Miller
shaded the Kansas scrapper. Let him
get a ‘rep’ for himself. - '
This sort of language is the sort that
makes Jones glad he is alive, for he
thrives on argument.
“When did Pelky whip Willard or any
body of consequence until he landed a
lucky punch on Luther McCarty?’’ asks
Jones. "Willard can whip Pelky. and
Burns can name his own terms. Pelky
took one beating from Willard and
wants no more.’’

Blood is Purified
Quickly in Summer
Here is a Remedy that has Wonderful |
Action and Promotes Health.
Mingling with your food, arousing
stomach action, absorbed immediately
into your blood, the famous remedy
known as S. S. S. has a wonderful
action. Its main purpose is to stimu
late cellular activity or that peculiar
process which instantly changes the
worn-out cells for the new red bipod
corpuscles.
The medicinal value of the com
ponents of S. S. S. is relatively just
as vital to healthy blood as the nutri
ment obtained from grain, meat, fats,
sugars or any other part of our daily
food is to the natural reconstructive
requirements of the tissues. And
there is one component of S. R S
w^ich serves the active purpose of
stimulating the cellular tissue to a
healthy and judicious selection of its
own essential nutriment Thus, in
cases of skin disease such as eczema,
acne, herpes, tetter or psoriasis, first
purify your blood with R S. S. so it
will enable the tissues to rebuild their
cellular strength and regain their
normal health.
You can get S. S. S. at any drug
store, but take no other so-called
blood purifier.
S S S. is purely a botanical prod
uct. and you will make a great mis
take to have some enthusiast palm
off a mineral preparation that may do
you irreparable harm
R R R. is prepared by The Swift
Specific Company, 191 Svfift Building.
Atlar*a. Ga.. and if you have any
obstinate skin trouble, write to their
Medical Department for free advice.
It will be worth your while to do so.

THE SIN OF THE CINCY HIT
—By Fred D. Pasley— — ■
Who Asks R. Kipling to Apologize tor Him.
A S Thompson, the sportin’ writer, lolleil back in Ills swivel chair,
A spirit sneaked up Itehind him and deftly grappled his hair.
(Irappled his hair and carried him farther and farther away,
Till he heard as the roar of the rain-fed ford tiie roar of the milky way.
Till he heard the roar of tlie milky way ilie down and drone and cease.
And they came to the gait, within the wall where I’eter holds the keys.
“Stand up, stand up. Mr. Thompson, and answer loud and high.
"The good that ye did for the sake of men in little earth so lone.”
And the naked soul of our hero grew white as a rain-washed Done.
“i've thousands of friends on earth,” he cried: “I was their priest and guide
“And my baseball chatter was famous from Oakland to Irigleside—-
"Spheroid. Horsehide and Pellet, <>Iolmle, Capsule and Pill—
“I was a lien Napoleon, marshaled my words at will.
“I was the synomic wizard and rated far above par
"Hurler, Twlrler and Heaver, Curver and South-paw Star.
“I put the fest in Bootfest and the Slug In Slugfest, too,
“Anil I snipped the Ire olT of empire to give the fans something new.”
"Hold, hold!” then cried St. Peter, "I would question thee a bit:
"Art thou the man that discovered the Cincinnati Hit?”
“Yes.” proudly answered Thompson, and the pride of the scribe was great;
“It Is Baseball's Fourth Dimension ” and lie started to orate.
“Aw, can thy chatter!” said Peter, as he opened n-wide the door.
“Keep on dropping downward till you reach the hottoua floor.
“We take in a few reporters, and sport writers, too, sometimes,
“But you with your Ciney Hit must go where they punish such awful
crimes.”
