FIVE CENTS
WHITE LEADS TO YICTORY
Yaliant Sextette Heads Field In Opening
Play of Advertising Tourney
c li
Five Gallant Group Fig-lit Desper
ately for Second Place Honors in
Neck and Neck Finish
A HAPPY THOUGHT
was the opening one
club team match of the
Advertising men ; like a
good story preliminary
to after dinner discourse,
putting every Doay in
good humor for the more
serious affairs which f ol
lowed. Eighteen teams of six men each
participated, selection being made from
as many classes of players to equalize
the field and clubs assigned by lot;
driver, brassie, midiron, jigger mashie
and putter. And the trick was to use
the particular club assigned to the best
.advantage which meant in the majority
of cases, the direct opposite of the club's
real purpose, for most of the putting and
approaching fell to drivers and brassies
and most of the driving to putters and
other equally impossible clubs. In view
of these diversified and always amusing
difficulties, the score of one hundred and
nine, which won a handsome set of ster
ling topped tobacco jars for Capt. D. S.
White's team, is regarded as little short of
phenomenal. Neck and neck the sextettes
led by Captains I. S. Robeson, R. T. Stan
ton, J. D. Plummer, S. Keith Evans and
II; W. Ormsbee finished in one hundred
and eleven, one hundred and twelve, one
hundred and thirteen, one hundred and
fourteen and one hundred and fifteen,
stringing up to one hundred and forty-two
for the last group who fought grimly

CLEVERNESS SAYES REYNARD
Introduces Novelty In Figure Eights
Which Have Ho Ending
Matter Solves the Riddle and Thinks
Vex Should he Preserved for
Exhibition Huns
CLEVERNESS saved
sly reynard's gray pelt ;
just recognition of his
originality. Started af
ter rollicking trailing of
an hour and a quarter
the pack burst into full
voice close up, indicat
ing a speedy run and
quick catch. Half an hour the hunt fol
lowed, expectant, covering some ten
miles in as clean a "figure eight" as ever
was cut with skates ; but no nearer, ap
parently, than at the start.
Then a swing to the north, down wind,
varied the monotony and another figure
eight which lost itself in another half
circle dash only to reform again into the
graceful figure.
"Dun beats me," was Nat's puzzled
comment. "Don't seem to be gainin' er
mite. I reckon we're runnin' a couple of
foxes and they's relayin' in and restin
up on us." Master Twitty's reply was
inaudible but presently his absence was
noted from the hunt.
Half an hour later he rejoined the chase
still in full cry, like a stage steeplechase
on a treadmill almost but not quite
still hopeful. "Call 'em off Nat," was his
strange command and old soldier that he
is, Huntsman obeyed without question
casting side glances at Master whose
laughter mingled with the mellow horn.
"What you suppose we are up against?"
he queried, when the last straggling
hound had ceased to protest. "That
chap's been doubling back and running
close up behind us; just having a lovely
time letting the pack set the pace. He
certainly deserves some consideration
and so I'm going to keep him for special
exhibition occasions. He beats an anise
seed bag flat." Homeward the hunt
turned content, sly reynard regarding it
from hillside cover with evident regret.
Doubtless he waits its return eargerly
with the confidence of his kind, for
"folly knows no fear !"
Monday's hunt attracted a large and
enthusiastic field which welcomed the
strike, an hour's ride out, with delight.
