ThrowGolf The Game.
FRANCIS BOLT-WHEELER.
Beginning from the starting mark,
. the base ball is to be thrown as
far as possible, but, in many cases, if
there be a piece of woods in the
way, a half throw will be better, so
that the second throw will be over
the thicket. The opposing player then
makes his first throw arfd each fel
low goes to where' his ball has fallen.
The second throw ought to bring
the ball somewhere near the flag.
The third, which would probably be
an underhand toss, ought to put the
. ball within a few feet of the hole,
and one or two more tries ought to
put the -ball in.
Should the two- balls be close to
gether. the player whose turn it is,
may, if he prefers, instead of trying
to get his ball into the hole, try to
hit the opponent's ball. Should he
succeed in doing this, he may throw
the enemy's ball, over his shoulder,
backwards, away from the hole. This
I
adds a lot of fun to the game, be
cause just when a hole seems "lost,"
one can "stymie" the other fellow
and get ahead again.
The game can be played with two,
three or four boys as a team. The
fellow with the longest throw could
"drive," the s.econd player can do the
"iron shots," a third, who is a good
judge of distance can "approach,"
and the fourth," picked out for good
eye and steady hand, can "putt' or
drop the ball into the hole. One of
the members of the team can go
ahead and act as coach, wig-wagging
instructions as to where the ball
should be dropped, both hands put
above the head and swung outward
meaning, "throw hard!" One hand
above .the head, "half throw!" Both
hands held still above the head,. "go
easy." A circle to the right, "keep
to the right" and similarly for tne
left.
-.The game is won, as in golf, by
the fellow or the team winning the
largest number of holes in the fewest
throwsk It is a good plan to mark
each ball with a team sign, so that
there many be no controversy over
which ball belongs to which team.
The game is as much fun as real golf
and first rate base ball exercise be
sides. (Tomorrow Type Sizes.)

Spring Relays.
MOLLIE PRICE COOK.
Group work in athletics is always
better than individual work, not
only because of the healthy spirit of
competition,' but also because it is
more fun, and, where there is fun,
there is mental energy as well as
physical. That's the value of relay
races. These are simple to organ
ize. Have a starting line, and a fin
ishing line or goal SO yards away.
Toe on the line to start. One girl
acts as starter, giving signals and
keeping score.
For a single relay race, divide
into two lines of an equal number
and stand in file behind the starting
line. At a signal, the first'of each
file runs to the goal, touches it and
returns. On crossing the line and
turning, she touches the out
stretched hand of the next player,
who has moved to the starting line.
The team wins which has its last
runner the first to return to the
starting line.
This may be varied in many ways.
In a jumping relay race, each con
testant is allowed twelve jumps with
both feet together. As the feet
touch ground at the end of the
twelfth jump, the second member of
the relay begins to jump and so on.
The same can be done with hops,
and the number of jumps or hops
arranged to suit the space the
playground.
A good variation is that of the
Ball Relay. In this, the leader of
the line, at a signal, passes a ball
overhead and back to the player be
hind her. When the last girl gets
it, she runs to the head of the line,
when every girl steps back one
pace. The team wis which first
has the original leader back in place.
1 his exercises the arms and de
mands agility in handling as the
dropping of the ball Js penalized by
the necessity of passing it forward
to the end of the line tov begin its
backward course again.
On rainy days, re'ays can be done
indoors, the Ball Relay being very
good for this. Bean bag can be
used in place of ball. Schoolroom
seat relays and blackboard relays
give a lot of fun. Rules can be
made to suit each game.

FITCH PERKINS ' jj
Dutch Twins Skate to Town.
Vrouw Vedder was watching at
the window. Soon she saw Kit and
Kat go flying by, hand in hand, on
the canal! They waved their hands
to her. Vrouw Vedder was so
pleased that she went to call Father
Vedder, who was in the hay-loft
over the stable.
"Come and see Kit and Kat," she
cried.
Father Vedder came down from
the loft and looked on, too. Then
Kit cut a figure like this, 8, and Kat
cut one like this, O. The round spot
is where she sat down hard, just as
she was almost around.
When they came into the kitchen
Father said:
"I think we could take such a fine
pair of "skaters as that to the Vink
with us on our way to town! The
ice is very hard and thick for so
,. early in the season and we will go
tomorrow."
'.'We can see the shops, too. St.
Nicholas is coming and the shops
are full of fine things," said Vrouw
Vedder. '
.Kit and Kat could hardly wait for
tomorrow to come. They polished
their skates and made everything
ready.
"What, do you suppose the Vink
. is?" said Kat to Kit.
"I think it is something like a
church," said Kit.
WHY?
Doe j One Laugh When Tickled?
(Copyright, 19'2. by The Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.)
In the brain are a number of
fibers or nerves which control
the muscles of our throat and
mouth which are used in laughing
or smiling. It is these nerves
which instantly transmit the or
der to "laugh," when, through
the ear or the eye, the brain re
ceived the impression of anything
funny.
When anything tickles the soles
of one's feet or other sensitive
parts of the body, certain nerves
in these regions act upon the
brain precisely as would the ap
pearance or sound of something
amusing. The nerves in the soles
of the feet or under the arms
carry the message to the brain
and the latter transmits it to the
throat, precisely as one presses
on the button of an electric bell
producing a spark which is car
ried to the battery which, in turn,
causes the bell to ring. Continued
pressure upon the button will, in
time, wear out the battery and
continued tickling will likewise
destroy the sensitiveness of the
nerves and render a person im
mune to this seosation.
Tomorrow's question Why
do we have Finger Kails?
"You don't know what a Vink is
so there," said Kat. "I think it's
something to eat."
Then Kit changed the subject.
"I'll race you tomorrow," he said.
"I'll beat," said Kat.
' "We'll see," said Kit.
The next dav thev started, all
tour, quite early in the morning.
i
Vrouw- Vedder took her basket on
her arm.
"I shall want to buy some things,"
she said.
Father Vedder lighted his pipe
VTo keep my nose warm," he said.
Then they aft went down to the
canal and put on :their skates.
"Kat and I are going to race to
the first windmill," said Kit.
"I'll tell you when to start," said
Father Vedder.
"And I'll get a cake for the one
who wins," said the mother.
"One, two three!" Away they
flew like the wind! Father and
Mother Vedder came close behind.
Kit was- so sure he would beat
that 4ie thought he would show off a
little. He went zigzag across the
canal; once or twice he stopped to
skate in curves.
Kat didn't stop for anything. She
kept her eyes on the windmill and
she skated as hard as she could.

I'M THE GUY!
By R. H. ALLIE.
I'M THE GUY who bawls out the
telephone operator every chance he
gets.
Why shouldn't I?
I'm renting the phone, and paying
for it. And she's just the operator.
4 Just why you object is beyond
me. 1 can t help it, if things are
tied up, or she's busy with other
calls, or that she's just a girl.
Because you object is no reason
why I shouldn't express my
thoughts. I'm renting and paying for
the phone to get service. And I
want it. It's not my fault that I'm
not getting it; it's her's. I want good
service and I expect to get it.
Besides, how do I know if she
isn't laying down on the job or gos
siping and not trying to serve me?
Operators do that often enough.
Anyway a bawling out will do her
good. It will show her I want serv
ice and expect to get it or intend to
raise a rumpus when I don't get it.
So long as I pay for the phone
and get poor service I'll bawl tier
out for it.
Let her serve me as I want or
quit. That's how I feel about it.
"Perfume Jag" Gets Its
First Victims in Omaha
Smelling like a charity ball, three
men were taken to .South Side po
lice station yesterday, charged with
being the first to be arrested for in
toxication by perfume.
Joe Devine of Council Bluffs,
George W. Anderson of Johnstown,
Pa., and Thomas Foster of Denver,
were taken into custody in a room
at the Grand Union hotel, Twenty
sixth and L streets.
In their room was found a pile of
empty perfume bottles, labeled all
the way from Colgate's "Caprice"
and "Jockey Club" to Ed Pinaud's
"Extract de Vegetal."
As soon as the three of them
were cast into their cell at the jail
on charges of intoxication and dis
orderly conduct, they began to
pummel each other in fun, and final
ly precipitated a general fight.
They were separated and placed
in individual cells, incommunicado.
