WOMEN GOLFERS ON LINKS
Few Surprises in First Round of
Slirnpcosrctt Event
Dy CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS.
t suppose that no golfer ever lived
vitn didn't have periods In his play
when It w'as far below his best game.
Rolling slumps are due to any of a
number of causes. You may be below
nar physically, your mind may be ab
sorbed In some business problem In
stead of golf and again It may be purely
a matter of lack of confidence In your
self. Another cause of many golfing
slumps Is the fact that for some Inex
plicable reason any player Is apt, to
develop some peculiar and faulty golf
method. I have known good, players
to suddenly develop the fault of "loop
ing," with dibastrous results to their
game, and the curious part of the thing
s that the golfer Isn't conscious of his
".ike until It Is pointed out to him
v some one else. f
What Player Should Do
Thre" Is no sure cure for a man who
falls down on his game, but there are
ieral good courses open to him. He
an call In a professional or some ex
pert friend to point out what ho Is
Irilng wrongly. Or he can call It a day
mil quit 111 the hope that next morn
eg will find his mind and body In
n'oper trim lo resume the game with
il- accustomed sli'll. The biggest dan-
:e,- to he guarded against during a golf-
i k slump Is to avoid establishing a
nidi which will grow on one. Ten or
wive days' practice the wrong way Is
tifficlent lo establish a habit which may
i' " months to break.
One of the most Interesting capes of
'falling down" that I know of was that
I if Walter Travis In the British amateur
championship a number of years ago.
Kvery golfer knows that Travis was
always a good putter, yet when he got
on the other side he suddenly developed
an alarming weakness on the green, and
It was his putting on which he relied
to win. Travis and his friends knew
that all his hop lay In recovering his
putting skill. He tried out nil sorts
i of changes in Glance, grlpj and even

caused the fans to doubt the sincerity of
the league over there. Or still It may
have been the rcnrclty of news regard
ing the sale or trade of players, which
Is a necessary part ot blg-tlma baseball.
It makes no difference what gave tho
fans ttie Idea that this league was to
tally different from those on this side
of the Atlantic Ocean. They are wan
dering around In this terrific heat under
a false impression. The fact remains
that, while getting recreation Is the
main object, the championship Is Just as
much sought for as the pennant In the
American and National Leagues.
Many Tig Leaguers
The sixteen teams In the overseas
league are fighting desperately for the
lead. There are many former major and
minor league stars and several hundred
former eemiprofessional players of merit
in the line-up, but It appears as though
the managers can't resist the temptation
to use ineligible players.
The teams have become so engrossed
over the battle for tlrst honors that the
circuit Is beginning to rival the Ship
builders' League of this section. It a
thought that this shipbuilders' circuit
was the only one having its troubles over
the playing ot ineligible men, but it
seems the oilicials over there are expe
riencing the same dllllculty through sev
eral managers using "ringers."

In a letter received this morning by
BUI Dallas, a prominent amateur base

as an athletic director over there, there
Is a list of no fewer than nineteen pro
tested and postponed games to be

Games are played five times a week, on
two separate lleldn, so that each team
plays at least one game each week. The

AnN average of 12 to 14 miles per gallon of
gasoline!
That is the statement of owners of Fulton
one-and-a-half-ton trucks everywhere, in
more than 300 different lines of business.
Such exceptional gasoline economy is due to the
exclusive Fulton feature of giving the gas three
successive heatings, each one at a higher tempera
ture. The gas finally reaches the cylinders so hot
and lively that it delivers its maximum power. Not
an ounce is lost.
This economy of gasoline this power of extracting
every mile that is in a gallon is one of the reasons
for the steadily increasing demand for Fulton Trucks
by those buyers who will accept nothing short of
maximum service. Such fleet operators for. instance,
as John Wanamaker, The Standard Oil Company,
The Texas Oil Company, and The Pittsburgh Plate
Glass Company, who are purchasing Fultons today in
preference to other makes already in service.
But gasoline economy is not trie only point in favor
of the Fulton. The entire truck is built sensationally
sturdy for long, dependable service. Tire economy
and greater power are assured by the adoption ofjhe
internal gear drive axle, acknowledged t6 be "the
ideal type for trucks of the Fulton capacity.
While the low cost of the Fulton $1620 is ex
trernely attractive in these days of high prices. It
will pay you to investigate Fulton economy.
