Johnston Meets Richards at Philadelphia To-day; Mile. Lenglen Quits Again in Exhibition
National Title Play Should j
Furnish Excellent Tennis
Great Calif ornian. Recovering From Tonsillitis, San?
guine of Success; Fine Matches Should Be
Witnessed Every Day at Germantown Club
By Fred Hawthorne
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1.1.?It seems particularly fortunate, in view
of the severe test that faces them to-morrow and throughout the rest
? the week, that the men engaged in the national championship lawn
jgtnia tournament at the Germantown Cricket Club should have a day of
-est to-day.
The twenty-four-hour respite will be of incalculable benefit to more
than one player. William M. Johnston, of California, for instance, who
is in the irrip of tonsilitis, following a touch of ptomaine poisoning, will
undoubtedly profit tremendously by the short lay-off.
?ka to the little Oalifornian this?
is condition, and he
declared that his throat was in better i
than it was yesterday, and the
to bring him around :
? r-.k I'll be all right," said "Lit- \
OB Bill."
lef ms hope he will be. for it is a
herculean task he fnccs for the rest of
the tournament. Xo-raorrow at 2 o'clock
on the championship court Johnston
c'.avs Vincent Richards, of New York,
the" junior champion. The Californien
took Rithards's measure cnce before ?
this leasoQi on tho only occasion they
?met, and his terrific "stroking" and
??y jii.j ength of his game is.
?hetter ft I think, to give the
yew York lad trouble than a less con?
centrated furs of attack.
Richards a Brilliant Player
Richards, 07" course, is one of the
most brilliant players in this country
to-dav, and ho "is capable of rising to
almost .'.;?;? witness his de?
feats of Norria Williams and Tilden on
stIeees^?,"7, days at . Providence last
July. The junior champion's ground
strokes, however, .ire somewhat lacking
in speed and pace, features in which
Johnston ?excels.
The winner of the Johnston-Richards
natch must face the winner of the
match between Tilden and Zenzo
Shimldzn, who meet to-morrow after?
noon at 4 o'clock on the No. 2 court.
The national and world's champion is
the logical victor here, for be has de?
feated the little Japanese in all their
matches to date, though in each case
pressed to the very limit.
? cannot recall any tournament in
which there has been such a truly
m?gnificent program of top-flight
natches as are scheduled on the Ger?
mantown courts on successive days
next week. The feature match on
Tuesday should logically be between
Tilden and Johnston, though a twist of
igte may bring forth Richards and
Shimidzu, otherwise known as
"Shimmy," as the contenders on that
day.
Johnston and the playing-through
champion would provide the great match
of the tournament and perhaDs the
greatest of all times. You have only j
to look back a year to that memorable ?
five-set struggle, in which Tilden de?
feated Jonnston in the final round at
Forest Hills last September, to realize
what another meeting between these
two tennis giants promises in the way
o? spectacular features.
Matches of International Flavor
At 12 o'clock noon to-morrow Dean
Mathey and Major F. Gordown Lowe,
of the British Isles, Davis Cup team,
mUpIsy on court No. 1, while on court
So. 2. at the same hour, the two Aus?
tralians, J. B. Hawke3 and J. O. Ander?
son come face to face. Williams will
start play against S. Howard Voshell,
of New York, at 3 o'clock, and these
are the feature matches for the day.
it should be an afternoon of excep?
tional tennis.
The veterans' national singles tour?
ney is also scheduled to start to-mor?
row afternoon at 4 o'clock, with William
A. Lamed, the seven-times national
title holder, a top-heavy favorite.
On the courts of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club, at St. Martin's, the special
invitation tournament for women will
begin. Mrs. Mollo Bjurstedt Mallory,
the national champion; Miss -Mary K.
Browne, Misa Eleaaor Goss and Mrs.
Marion Zm.derstein Jessup are among
those expected to play.
The success of the men's tournament
at Germantown is a fine tribute to the
men who have matters in charge there.
The great event is being run on lines
similar to those that have made the
'Vest Side Tennis Club's annual holding
t?f the event the world's standard. No
higher praise could be given any tour?
nament committee, and S. C. Collomb,
the chairman of the Germantown com?
mittee, is to be congratulated on his
achievement.

Disappoints Crowd
After Losin?: Set
World's Champion With?
draws Because of Illness
From Crescent Doubles
After losing the first set of a mixed
doubles match. Mile. Lenglen, the
French marvel, once again disappointed
a gallery of tennis enthusiasts at the
Bay Hidge courts of the Crescent A. C.
yesterday by defaulting on the plea of
illness.
Mile. Lenglen was paired with Walter
Merrill Hall, one of the leading local
players, and the team had lost one set
at 6 to 8, to Harold G. Throckmorton
of Larchmont. and Miss Leslie Ban?
croft, of Boston, when Suzanne was
forced to leave the court.
The French girl was wrapped in s
heavy fur coat, and left the ground:
coughing as she walked along. Not ?
sound was heard from the three bun
dred spectators as attendants led he!
away. There was a request for a physi
cian from Mile. Lenglen's party, but ne
one responded, and she was whiskee
away in an automobile.
The weather was threatening and i
was chilly when play was started, li
i fact, the weather was generally dis
agreeable and unsuited for a persoi
with a cold. Mile. Lenglen bore up re
markably well in the early part of th?
game, but was forced to rest for sev?
eral minutes when the score stood 5
i against her side.
Was 111 on Arrival
After the score had been tied Mile
! Lenglen explained that she would com
j plete the set, but would go no furthe,
She also explained that she was i
; when che arrived, but consented t
j play rather than disappoint the aud
i ence.
The set iself was remarkably we
! played, and the French girl could nc
1 complain against her partner, Wait?;
i Merrill Hall. Hall proved the mo;
i steady racket wielder "on the court an
? scored often for his team. After Mil
| Lenglen's departure Hall and Harol
j Throckmorton played a single exhib
! tion, Hall holding the advantage, 10?
J and 4?4, when play was called.
Throckmorton played a sensation
; ?came in the mixed doubles, making
j number of almost miraculous "geti
; and scoring often with a well place
I forehand drive. He tended to wildnes
I however, sending some erratic sho
| out of court. His volleying game w
I also brilliant. Miss Bancroft prov
I very helpful to her partner with h
net play.
Mile. Lenglen came through wi
j some sensational playing in the ear
stages of the game, scoring with mc
I accurate placements, but she slow
; up perceptibly toward the end. H
! team managed to win the game on h
i service three times, but lost the fir
i on her service.
Her service was notably soft in tl
: last game and easy to hit, compar
I with her nreviou? efforts.
Set Closely Contested
The set was most closely contested,
but Throckmorton and Miss Bancroft
retained a slight advantage throughout
by winning two of the first three
games. The other pair managed to tie
the score, but could never go ahead of
the Throckmorton-Bancroft combina?
tion.
Miie. Lenglen asked for a short rest
when her opponents were leading 6?5.
When she resumed play Hall managed
? to square the set on his service.
Throckmorton then won for his team,,
! forging ahead, 7?6.
The French girl was serving and the
| points went to deuce. Next it was
? Mile. Lengler.'s advantage on her beau?
tifully placed back-hand volley down
the alley. Throckmorton brought it
back to deuce and after a brief ex?
change he smashed the ball at Hall's
feet for the final point of the game.
The score:

IN ALL FAIRNESSJ
By W. J. MACBETH
THE pennr.nt struggles in the National and American leagues go,
on apace. During the week past the Yankees drew slightly away
from the world's champion Indians, but the Giants made no ap?
preciable gain on the leading Pirates.
The hope for an exclusive world's series at the Polo Grounds rests
largely on the shoulders of the Giants now, it would appear. The
Yankees hold every advantage over the Cleveland Indians. All but two
of their remaining g:;mes will be played at the Polo Grounds. On the
other hand, mcr.t cf t!io gr?ner, of the Now York Nationals are staged
fcr foreign fields, the great majority in the West.
This is the beginning of the last lap of the major league pennant
flight. The American League clubs will confine most of their remaining
activities to the East; the National League to the West. In the East
the Yankees may reasonably hope for some assistance from the Red
Sox and Washington. It will be up to themselves to take care of the
world's champions when Cleveland arrives on the scene. Fortunately
there are but two remaining gamos with the White Sox, a team that
has won twelve out of twenty games from Huggins and caused him far
more grief and anguish than any other rival.
McGraw's path through the West does not appear so rose-tinted,
With him it is largely a case of pitching. There are two tough spots
in the West for which he must do some fancy juggling of twirlers. One
is St. Louis; the most important, Pittsburgh. If the Giants can make
a clean sweep over the leaders, the rest should be comparatively easy,
JBut the Giants must expect to fight the light single handed. The onlj
possible help they may expect is in Brooklyn. Uncle Robbie has showr
the Pirates a merry time of it to date. But Boston has slumped sine?
its last trip through the West, and the Phillies figure little better thar,
an average minor league outfit.
A Case of Too Many Cooks in Golf
WflTH three such organizations as the United States Golf Association,
the Metropolitan Golf Association and the Professional Golfers' As?
sociation operating in the metropolitan district, it would seem the game
should be well looked after. But such is not the case. Unless one knew
of the existence of these associations he would probably think each golf
club traveled on its own, in so far as tournaments are scheduled.
Tournament play this season is quite befuddled. Golf writers com?
plain they do not know which way to turn. Several conflicts have occurred
already this season, and several more are in sight during the fall season.
Next week, for instance, the annual seniors' tournament at Apawamis
will be held, and will run right onto the heels of the National Golfers' As?
sociation tournament, the Cherry Valley Club tourney and the Nassau
Club meeting, all in the same week.
There have been weeks this summer in which no tournaments at all
have been played; and there have been others in which several meetings
conflicted. These conflicts are not good for the game and hurt the various
clubs. Any club holding an invitation tournament is put to considerable
expense. Naturally it is desirous of obtaining a representative field from
the players in this section. Clubs having enough enterprise to hold tourna?
ments should be aided by the above named associations, not hampered.
There ought to be a system of arranging these meetings. At least, no
conflicts should be allowed.
Bunting Wins Place Among Great Two-Year-Olds
?.TARRY PAYNE WHITNEY'S fine Pennant colt, Bunting, has es?
tablished himself among the best of the season's crop of two-year
olds. He ran a most creditable race in winning the rich Futurity.
He showed rare gameness as well as speed, and courage is one of the
most admirable traits in a thoroughbred.
It seems a pity that Morvich was not eligible for the Futurity and
that this same great colt did not decide the matter of supremacy with
Miss Joy at Saratoga. There is a great possibility that Morvich and
Bunting will settle their differences in the Champagne Stakes at Bel
mont Park next Wednesday. Perhaps both these great colts may meel
Miss Joy later on in the Pimlieo Futurity. It is understood all threi
will be pointed for this, which will be by far the richest two-yea r-olc
stake of the season.
Futurity Object Lesson to Turf Solons
T ET us hope each and every one cf the turf solons was on hand fo:
Saturday's running of the Futurity. It was a picture withou
words?an object lessen for every one interested in the welfare of th
thoroughbred. It spoke volumes of what horse racing means whei
the game is on the up and up.
Twenty-two high-class juveniles competed in one of the pretties
and most spectacular races, that had been seen in the East in twent
years. Except for one or two, which were away so slowly as to b
practically left, the entire field raced straight and true and on sue
even terms none could distinguish the leader till almost a half mil
had been covered. Each two-year-old came through that straight chut
true as a die. There was no crowding or jamming or cutting over i
; front of contention.
The answer? Well, there were twenty-two jockeys striving migl
i and main for the honor of a Futurity. There were twenty-two tho:
! oughbreds giving of their very best. The Futurity was a sample e
, what racing should be?what it would be if the gambling cliques ar
; barnacles were driven from the turf.
Richard Awaits Answer From Georges Carpentier
. HTEX RICKARD, boxing impresario of Madison Square Garden, hi
cabled Georges Carpentier to learn if he intends to keep his Oct
: her date with light-heavyweight Tommy Gibbons.
He anticipates an affirmative answer. If the Frenchman decid
: to return and his hand is in shape to permit him to box early
i October, it may be that the bout will be staged at Boyle's Thirty Acr?
though Tex has cooled out somewhat on his pet stadium since t
i Wilson-Downey waltz. If Georges desires a later engagement, in i
'? probability the mill will be staged in Madison Square Garden.
In any event, Rickard intends to book other fights in his Jersey Ci
'? arena, though perhaps not this year. He has taken a lease of one ye

Successful Yachting Season ]Sears Close
' ""f^HIS week and next will see the close of what must be regarded as j
one of the most remarkable years in the history of yacht racing, j
; The clouds that hovered over the sport last May have been dispelled and
; the future of the game never looked brighter than it does at this '
; writing.
Five months ago the pessimists we're saying that yachting had
| received its death-blow at the hands of the World War. To-day, as
1 cur Corinthians are preparing to furl their sails for the winter, it
1 would be hard to find an amateur sailorman who could raise a doubt
1 about the complete success of the season that is drawing to a close.
From the sands of Sea Gate to the reefs of Marblehead the sport
\ has thrived, and every regatta that has been held has attracted entry
iists that in many cases nearly overwhelmed the committees in charge.
The entirely unexpected success of the present season can be at
': tributed to the foresight of the veterans of the game, among them the
' ! weatherbeaten campaigners of the New York Yacht Club, who have
; encouraged and made possible competition among the youngsters.
It has been a "small boat year," and boys and girls who will be
I in their 'teens for some time to come have proved that finishes among
? boats of the "Fish" class are'as interesting as the duels of the famous
! ; ??ty-footers.
Hempstead Country Club
To Open Course Saturday
Establishing something of a record
for speed in golf construction work,
the new Hempsteael Country Club is
ready to throw open to play nine of
the eighteen holes of the course, and
on Saturday, September 17, a formal
opening of these nine holes will be held.
Due partly to the fact that the old
Parsons farm on which the course is
being built was largely under cultiva?
tion up until the time construction
work on the course was taken up, the
club has been able to make rapid prog-!
resa. It wbs not until April of this
year that work was begun, and the com?
pletion of nine holes in less than six
months is quite an achievement. In
spite of the comparatively short time
entailed, both the fairways and put
tin ir greens are reported to be in re?
markably fine condition.

Bermingham Is
Miracle Mar
On Golf Link*
Wykagyl Player Goes Aroum
Course in 70, Breakin,
Record; Dispute Ensue
By Ray McCarthy
Thomas V. Bermingham, star golfe
of the Wykagyl Country Club, brok
all records for his homo course yes ter
day afternoon, when he went around i:
the fine score of 70. As a result o
his record-breaking performance on
of the warmest little debates ever en
gaged In by the members of this clul
developed. At the time of going fr
press no decision had been reached.
The Wykagyl members, feeling tha
something different in the way of gol
competition should be. arranged ane
that some real action should be started
announced at the beginning of th?
season that the golfer having the low
est score under par for the cours?
should be awarded a prize of $500
Par of the Wykagyl links, which is 72
had never been broken, and the mem
bera wondered if it were possible te
lower that mark. The member:
started something all right when thej
made the announcement of the $50<
competition.
Many Take a "Whir!"
A number of professionals have ot
various occasions taken a whirl at thii
purse. Frank McNamara, the stalwar
professional of the Cherry Vaiiey club
was the first and only player to ge:
under par. On one fine day ?ate ir
June he blazed his way around ir
seventy-one strokes and up to yester
day had a toe hold on the purse
Elijah Horton, the professional of the
Wykagyl club, turned in a 71 recently
but his claim was disallowed because
he had failed to make a formal an
nouncoment of his attempt to try loi
the record.
Now, Bermingham is a fine golfer
the best in fact of any in the Wyagy
Club. He ranks with the leading play?
ers in the Metropolitan district, and il
he were able to get away from busi?
ness to play in the various tourna?
ments he would probably collect his
share of first prizes. Invariably he
wins the individual medal competition
held eae:h week-end for the club mem?
bers and on Labor Day, playing in top
form he lowered the amateur record ot
the course of 75, made last year by
Jesse Sweetser, by getting a 71.
But few of the members ever ex?
pected he would be the one to put in
a claim for the record prize. All of
the others knew they had but little
chance, for most of them have their
troubles breaking 80. Bermingham,
himself, probably had no idea he would
break the record, else he would surely
have said so when he started out yes?
terday in a foursome, composed of
Charlea V. Benton, Hudson River Club
star* W. S. .'ohnstnn, also of the Hud?
son River Club, and George Luhman,
of Wykagyl.
Young Jesse Sweetser, Yale sta?*. and
the youthful star of the professional
ranks, John Farrell, of Quaker Ridge,
were in advance of Bermingham ?-trug
gling for the prize. They finished
with scores of 7fi and 75. ren*pect?Ve?y.
This was his card:

Inasmuch as Bermirgham had not
announced his intention of trying for
the prize, some of the committee mem
i hers felt he could not put in a claim.
But many of the others were of the
; opinion a formal announcement was re?
quired only of visitors. When they
! maeie the rules regarding the compe
' tition the committee had not thought
1 of one of their own members being the
j prize winner. Now they are in a quan?
dary and are? still trying to figure out
' whether or not Bermingham has the
; lead for the prize. The contest closes
! in October.
Shea Winner I
In All-Round
Titular Test
?
Pastime A. C. Athlete Suc?
cessfully Defends Title by!
Outscoring Three Rivals
Dnn Shea, the star all around ath- :
lo tu of the Pas-time Athletic Club, re- '
tained his title of metropolitan all-?
around champion by defeating three i
opponents in the most grueling test!
of athletic competition yesterday at
the games of the Leitrim Men's Asso?
ciation nt Celtic Park.
Shea accounted for the remarkable
total of 5,4.r>4V2 points in the ten-event
competition, which was 55'A points
more than the total piled up by Patrick
O'Connor, a clubmate. O'Connor
finished with 5,309 tallies. William J.
O'Connell, another Pastime Athletic!
Club athlete, was third, with 3,370
points, while W. A. Hascon, of the
Jersey Harriers, the only other com?
petitor, failed to finish, being disquali- <?
tied after three events.
The versatile wearer of the Brazilian ?
Cross successfully defended the title !
which he won Jn 1919 and was prime |
favorite because of his sensational
performances last July, when he fin?
ished second to S. Harrison Thompson
in the national all-around at Pasadena.
Shea easily outclassed the field in
the matter of scoring first places, but
O'Connor managed to keep close on his
heels, because the latter was strongest
in the events -which proved the cham?
pion's worst. Shea was first in six
events and tied for first in another.
He won the 16-pound shot, high jump,
pule vault, 120-yard hurdles, broad
j jump and mile run. He was tied with
f O'Connell in the "100."
? When the program was within two
! events of completion Shea was lead?
ing by 29 points. In the next event
the champion ?rained slightly, so that
he was 56 points in advance of his
closest rival. The mile run, which
; came next, proved the best event of
the day.
O'Connor.set out at a dizzy pace
with Shea tra?inp* until the home
: stretch on the last lap. when Shea
shot out with a remarkable burst of
speed and barely nosed out O'Connor.

Miss Boyle Victor
In Field of Four
For 440-Yard Title
National Swim Champion !
Scores at Bath Beach;
Miss Wainwright Second
Miss Charlotte Boyle, national in?
door swimming champion at fifty and
100 yards, scored a clean-cut victory in
the senior metropolitan 440-yard title
test at the Field and Marine Club of
! Bath Beach yesterday afternoon. Miss
? Helen Wainwright and Miss Aileen
\ Riggin, the famous little divers, fin
| ished second and third as named. The
\ winner's tijie wa3 7 minutes 57 2-5
: seconds.
Only four candidates answered the
j call, the fourtn being Miss Margaret
! Ederle, the newly crowned junior
i quarter-mile champion. Several other
? entrants were on hand, but declined to
: start after a glance at Gravesend Bay,
: where the 110-yard course was laid.
' Great crest-topped waves were piling
-, in. The water was so rough that a
I couple of rowboats were swamped.
The four girls got off well together,
'; though they coul? not hold the footing
i on the wild bobbing float, and it was
amazing to note the ease with which
! they rode the big swells and glided
through the broken seas.
Miss Boyle assumed the lead ?mmedi
; ately. The others followed her closely
? for one lap, but after that the field
1 began to string out gradually. When
I the champion romped in a winner she
r had ten yards on Miss Wainwright and
j nearly twenty t-n Miss Riggin.
A 100-yard handicap swim brought
; out more than thirty contestants and
| required five elimination trials. Miss
? Gertrr.de Ederle, the fourteen-year-old
i marvel, returned the fastest actual
i time in the heats, but in the final she
! and Miss Boyle collided repeatedly,
! losing any chance they may have had
i to win. Miss Wainwright, who re
' ceived 7 seconds, nosed out Miss Rig
i zin, who had 10 seconds, in 1 minute
: 30 1-5 second.-*.
j Miss Boyle was able to break through
. and take third after Miss Ederle
! stopped, ten yards frem the line.

Classics Listed
For This Week'
Juveniles to Run 7 Furlongs
in Champagne Stake?
a t Belmont Wednesday
By W. J. Macbeth
Five days of racing remain to the
autumn meeting of the Westchester
Racing Association at Beimont Park,
during which a fine line should b? had
on the worth of the new scratch rule,
calculated to curb wholesale scratching
of thoroughbreds from races. The rule
went into operation Saturday with such
good results that there were or.ly two
withdrawals in a field of twenty-four
named for the Futurity, these being two
of Harry Payne Whitney's two year
olds. As it was, Mr. Whitney sent two
others to the post.
A glance at to-day's entries discovers
the fact that on paper the fields are not
so pretentious as have been the rule
heretofore. But it is safe to gamble that
few of those named overnight will be
withdrawn now that it costs 10 per
cent of the purse to scratch. If all the
horses go to the post some really high
class sport should be seen before sun?
set, for good horses have been named
? in the various events, which pr'-rient
balan-ce as to form at least.
One of the features for this after?
noon is a race for United States Army
officers, for which seven horses are
nominated. The Amityviile Handicap
and the Nassau Selling Stakes, each at
a mile for three year olds and up?
ward, as well as a steeplechase, should
be well worth watching.
Later in tho week lovers of iha
thoroughbreds are likely to be treated
to at least two classics worthy the
name. On Wednesday will be run the
Champagne Stake for two-year-olds,
and on Friday, the closing day, tha
: Autumn Gold Cup. In the Champagne
I Stake the juveniles will be asked for
i the first time this season to^carry their
flight of speed over the seven furlongs
route. For the llrst time since the
Champagne was transferred to Bel
! mont Park (the classic dates back ta
\ 1867), the race will be run around a
? turn. Heretofore, it was contested
; through the straight chute.
There is reason to believe that prac?
tically all of the two-year-olds which
: have pr?tentions to the two-year-old
crown will meet the undefeated colt
: Morvicb, in this particular race. The
: Rancocas Stable, it is said, will send
? out both William A and Little Chief,
and Kia-Sang, too, if he has sufficient?
ly recovered to do his best. In addition.
the Pelican Stable's Oi! Man, the Modo
: Stable's Modo, John Sanford's Snob
; II R. T. Wilson's Pillory and J. K. L.
! Ross's Mercutio are almost bound to
try conclusions with Morvich, general?
ly conceded, to be by far the best
. youngster brought out this year. The
Champagne is particularly interesting
this time, as it is regarded as a sort
of trial for the strongest candidates
! likely to be seen in the two rich fall
; classics of a mile at Pimlico?the Wai?
den and the Pimlico Futurity.
The Autumn Gold Cup race H bound
to see the great Hildreth pair. Mad
liatter and Grey Lag, which ran one
, two in the Jockey Club Gold Cup Satur?
day, in action again. Probably Thun
I derclap will be a stable companion.
' Touch Me Not is going to try to redeem
Saturday's sorry showing. Bud Fisher
| intends to start Sporting Blood, an
o*her three-year-old. Willis Sharpe
Kilmer's gelding Exterminator, which
was not eligible to the Jockey Club
Gold Cup, will probably be favorite in
Friday's big race.
The Brook Stepplecha?e Handicap,
j worth $10,000, at two miies and a half,
: should, bring out the best field of tim
? bt-r-toppers seen all year. Mrs. G. W.
! Loft's champion, Sweepment; Robert
j Oliver, Soumangha, Syrdarya, Decisive,
j Earlocker. The Trout, Valspar, Royal
j Arch, Bull's Eve, Elysian, Lytle, Joyful,
? Overmatch, Flying Scout, Highland
Light, Houdini and Doublet are a few
of the cross-country horses most likely
1 to start.
Caught Stealing Our Styles
HEN I closed my store at 1383 Broadway at 12 o'clock Saturday night, I didn't
know that a couple of hours later the interior of this store was going to be
used to stage a real Honest-to-God Movie Thriller, with Yegg Men, Safe
Crackers, Detectives, Police, Pistol Shots, etc., etc.
The burglars came down through the skylight and the Detectives went in through
the window and the spot where they met looked like a wreck.
The new Fall hats scattered over the flor contained more new ideas in "Wrinkles,"
"Crushes" and "Creases" than I ever saw in a college campus.
Thanks to the great work of the Police, the burglars are now safe in a dark room
in a quiet place, and the Safe is resting quietly in the place where it belongs.
And I want to give the Yegg Men credit, as well as the Police, because they cer?
tainly picked the busiest hat store in town. Apparently they counted the customers
and multiplied it by $2.85 and figured out the amount they would take away.
I think I can identify one of the crooks, because out of the thousands of cus?
tomers who came in, only one man went out wearing his old Straw Bonnet. I know
he must be the fellow who came in to look at the skylight.
If you are more interested in a new "Sky Piece" than an old Skylight, come in
and see me today. ^ .^^^ -
