INDIGNANT LIARS CONTEST COMMITTEE BRANDS AS LIE REPORT TRUE STORY ENTERED The “Liar's Contest” ommittee of the American Sportsmen's League has made emphatic denial of the report that some of “Little George Washing ton” had cast a shadow upon the in tegrity of the tail-story tellers by sub mitting an honest to goodness true story in the sportsmen's “Liar’s Con test.” Rumor was rife that one of Sa vannah’s more prominent citizens, working upon the assumption prob ably that “truth is stranger than fic tion,” had told a true “fish” story and it will come as a great relief to the devotees of the gentle art of “throwing the bull” that no such dastardly deed has been done, and that, even if it had, the contest board would not tolerate any such entry. The latest report from the sanctum of the “parlor matadors” is that in the next few days, a list of the “handicaps” for the “liars’ grand prix” will be published.

The following rules for the con test have been formulated by the' con test board: 1. (a) All persons who have con fidence in their skill as liars, or a high ambition to attain it, are eligible to enter the contest.
