Omaha City Champion It
Gitrn Hard Battle
Lincoln. Aug. 10. (Special Tele
grain.) Kalph Powell. Ute cham
pion, and K. R. McCormick, Omaha
ciiy champion, today become final
ist in the (tate tournament.
Powell won hi way into the final
by eliminating Don Elliott, Lincoln
city champion, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2, and Mc
Cormick by defeating Minor Skill
terg. Holdrege, 6-2, 6-1. 6-0.
The tingles championship match
will be playedvtoday.
Powell wasYever preited by El
liott and his game was perfect. in
every department' Elliott's only ad
vantage teemed to be at the net, but
he did not follow it up.
The Skallberg-McCormick match
was a much better contest than the
set scores indicate. Both men played
deep and their long drives brought
much' applause from the large gal
lery which had assembled to witness
the matches.
Skallberg had played a gruelling
doubles match just before he met
McCormick and it was apparent that
he was tired.
Fred Archerd and Floyd Seymour
of University Place, and 1921 dou
bles champions of Lincoln, pulled a
match out of the fire from Minor
Skallberg and Harry Ellis, 6-j, 4-6,
10-8.
Today's play puts Archerd and
Seymour against Don Elliott and E.
R. McCormick', an . exceptionally
strong combination and doped as the
doubles winners. Charles Mathew
son and Paul Langenberg, Walthill
cracks, meet McProud and Geesen.
The , latter team today beat Full
away and rotter, -6, 6-4, 6-4.

Q. What la the difference between a
four-ball match and a foursome?
A. A Tour-baJl match is a match In
which two players forming one aide, play
against another side of two players, each
player using a single ball. A foursome
Is a match - In which ''four players take
pan:, two 10 a Mae, using nut two Dens,
each partner playing alternate strokes.
Q. Please give me- the correct ruling
in the following cases: A single match.
a putts ana Knocks s ban into me cup.
Medal play, thevsame occurs. In a four
ball match the two are partners and the
same thing happens.
A. In the first ease, B b considered
to have holed oat an his last previous
stroke. Medal play, A lose a stroke and
B's ball must be replaced at aace. Four
bail mateh.-B'a Ball ia renlaeed. but no
penalty is Incurred. ' . .
V.-v-a-inaiy give ine correct ruling in
this case: A and B are playing a match,
and both overrun the green. Their balls
stop on smooth turf with B's about 18
Inches from A's. A asks B to lift, since
his ball Interferes with A in playing his
next stroke. - B refuses, saying that rules
of the putting green apply, although the
balls are admittedly not on the recognlxed
nutting surface. Can A force B to lift?
A. This depends on whether or not the
belts were within SO yards of the hole.
If so, B was right. The putting green la
all grouBd within SO yards of the hole,
except hasarda. and rules of the putting
green apply within that limit.
Q. Where an umpire Is appointed for a
match, ia ha expected to call any penalty
that he sees, or only mane ruungs wnen
annealed to bv either Of the two olayers?
A. Aa umpire or referee Is expected te

Grantham started off Omaha's

neat single through the pitcher into

commenting on what he termed
charges by Charles W. Tsddock, Los

not a single track in the Hawaiian

Playing Marathon
Golf Is Expensive,
Says Spokane Man
Spokane, Aug. 10. Marathon
golf costs more than running a,
high priced automobile, according
to Arthur Velguth, who played 16
times around the Spokane Down
River Golf course Monday and
who intends to try to set a na
tional record in long distance golf
after a rest. -
Velguth V actual expenses Mon
day, not .counting the four raw
eggs, the pint of cream and other
similar food he consumed to pro
duce energy for the feat, were $12
25 cents per round at the course,
$4, caddy hire, 16; two golfs balls,
$2. This runs to about 33 cents a
mile as Velguth walked probably
35 miles during his game.
Incidentally, the caddy at the
Monday session, spent Tuesday in
bed, saying that much as he loves
golf, he wouldn't choose such per
sistence for a steady diet.
CHAPTER XXXV. "
Cuffy Bear and the Fairy Ring.
Cuffy bear did not like hornets.
He never forgot the time when a
swarm or hornets chased him into a
deep pool in the brook, stinging him
so severely that his own family didn't

when Cuffy came upon a hornet's
nest hanging upon a bushor a tree
he hurried away from that neighbor
hood. .His thoughts were far from hornets
when he climbed a great, spreading
oak one summer's day. He had no
ticed a bird's nest half way out on
one of the lower limbs. "I'll look
into that," he resolved.
"The tree was not easy to climb.
Its trunk was so big that he couldn't
grasp it well and hug himself against
it. But he managed to scramble up
and draw himself to the branch
where where the bird's nest clung.
Out along the limb Cuffy crept.
Into the nest he peeped. It was
empty. . .
Seeing nothing else in the' tree to
interest him, he turned to ko down.
when an idea that he liked ooooed

down the trunk of the oak, but creep

irouoie.
So that was what he did. Soon he
landed limply upon the ground. He
had learned how to fall without hurt
ing himself. And now he stood up,
intending to move on around the
mountain. But he had taken only
one step when he stopped short.
"My goodness 1" gasped. "Hornets'
nests!"
AH about him he saw a ring of
hornets' nests on the grass. They
formed a hia circle, in the exact
center of which he stood and stared
with dismay. He didn't dare ko any
nearer the nests for fear he would get
stung. He looked un at the oak tree.
But there was no escape that way.

"Oh I Oh! I don't know what to
do!". Cuffy groaned. He sat down
and looked about him dully, a prison
er with the great outdoors around
him. If only he dared pass that dread
ful ring of hornets' nests 1
But he didn't. Too well he recalled
his smarts and pains of old, his dosed
eyes and swollen nose.
"I'll wait for help," he decided.
It was a long time coming. "I
don't see where Cuffy can be,' Mrs.
Bear excla'imed late that afternoon.
"He has been gone all day; and when
he went off he told me he'd be back
soon." .-
"Don't worry!" said.Mr. Bear with"
a yawn. "He'll be here at meal time."
But no Cuffy appeared.
"We'll have to search for him,
have an odd feeling that he is in
trouble," Mrs. Bear told her husband.
He saw that he might as well go
with her then and have the business
over with. o they set out, wander
ing through the woods and calling for
their lost child. It was almost dark
when they found him.
"What is the matter?" cried Mrs.
Bear as soon as she spied Cuffy.
'Why are you sitting there?"
"Look out! Step back!" Cuffy
warned her. "Those are hornets'
nests," he added, pointing at the ring
of grayish, brownish balls that sur
rounded him. And then he explained
what had happened to him.
Mr. Bear gave a snort and struck
one of the balls a smart blow with
his paw, knocking it into a dozen
pieces.
"Oh, don't!" Cuffy begged him.
they'll sting!"
"These aren't hornets' nests," Mr.
Bear bawled in a tone that showed
he was disoleased. Thfv' re rwiffko Ho
that's what they are! Old Mr. Crow-
says tney are good to eat. after they
are cookerj. And he ought to know,
for he knows everything. Old Mr.
Crow says this is a fairy ring. And
I suppose he knows what he's talk
ing about. Anyhow, you can sec
plainly that there are no hornets
here." He shuffled about the circle,
smashing puffball after puffball as
he talked, as ,if he felt like . hitting
something ana didn't much care,
what. To tell the truth, he was
peevish because he had left home on
so silly an errand.
"New, Ephraim! This child can't
be blamed for not knowing as much
as old Mr. Crow," said Mrs. Bear.
Tin awful hungry," Cuffy whis
pered.' ,
"Come along home. said Mr. A,
Bear. "I've saved something for vou." '
Mr. Bear orirkprl un hi rars and
followed them.
If there s sroinir to be another '
meal I may as well be there." he
chuckled, ' ( ,
