SDTTON PROVES
KEEN ABILITY
AS BILLIARDIST
Those who enjoy the fine points of
billiards got an eye full yesterday
afternoon and last evening when they
watched George H. Sutton, the
handless billiardist of Florence, do
, most marvellous work with the cue
stick and the three ivory bails. Sut
ton was playing against Frank
Runyan, Arizona champion billiardist,
but there was no question of title
involved. Sutton, whose hands and
forearms are off just a few inches
below the elbows, demonstrated
beyond cavil that he knows the
geometry and laws of velocity as
apply to the billiard table and he ,
made funs of almost any number, it i
seemed, that he cared to.
The games were played at the B j
and P pool rooms and brought only
a small crowd. Those who witnessed
the games were unanimous in their
praise of the work of Sutton and they
regarded as most remarkable that he
had attained such perfection against
the handicap of the loss of both
hands. ,u:

SOUTH GOLF MEET
PINEHURST, N. C., March 30 W
Billy Burke, the New York proses- i
sional who came into golfing fame aj
year or so ago by jumping from |
caddy master to a tournament leader, i
led the field today for the first 54;
holes of the 72-holes norjh and south j
open golf meet, -with a score of 73-69. i
For today’s 36-hole round, he had!
a 69 in the morning, 3 below par, I
and a 74 in the afternoon, despite a;
gale that made anything like par golf j
almost impossible.
Seven strokes behind the New York-!
er came Tommy Armour, national!
open champion, and Tom Harmon, j
New York, each rounding out thej
day with a 223.
Bqbby Gruickshank, defending cham ~
pion, had an 80 this afternoon to
tack to his 145 for the first two
18-hole rounds, placing him well in
the rear of Burke with a 225.
Burke had six birdies for the day’s
play and was close to the par on
most of the others, never taking more
than a five.
Andy Gray, Greensboro, N. C., pro
vided a thrill when he made the
452-yard 14th in two, using his put
ter 65-yards away from the green to,
hole out. j
Despite the high winds, Burke was
getting close to the pin on his sec- j
ond shots and had his putter work
ing steadily throughout the day.
A shower of rain this morning
handicapped some of the early start
ers but the course was in excellent
condition for the afternoon play.
The final 18-holes of the tourna
ment will be played tomorrow. John
ny Farrell, New Yofk, 75-149 —224.
A1 Espinosa, Chicago, 78-148 —226.
Clarence Hackney, Atlantic City,
77-150—227.
Tony Manero, New York, 80-148 —
228.
Henry Oiuci, New York, 77-151—229.
Eddie Held, New York, 78-152—230.

Myrtle L. Downs, 1224 Tenth street.
The flames practically destroyed the
playhouse and scorched the outbuild
ing near it but the residence escaped
the effects of the heat, due to the
prompt action of the liremen. The
loss would be nominal. Something
like two scores of automobiles carried
people to the vicinity to watch the
firemen work.
Arizona University
Student Wins Coast
Oratorical Contest
CLAREMONT, March 30 m The
Pacific southwest scored a clean sweep
in the Pacific coast forensic league’s:
oratorical contest held at Holmes Hall!
on the Pomona campus here last 1
night. Lawrence Rose, speaker from
. the University of Arizona, took first.
place. Leslie Goddard, of the Univer
; sity of California at Los Angeles, sec
ond, Henry Greq, Pomona and Law
rence Hopper, University of Southern
California, tied for third, shutting out
' completely representatives from Stan- j
| ford, Whitman college, Idaho, Willa- ■
| mette, and Washington State.
Rose's oration “The Law’s Crime” i
was accorded first place by a scant
margin over the other three leaders.
The Pomona delegate, and Hopper of
U. £3. C. were tied, not only in com
i paratjve scoring, but by percentage as
j well, a condition that is unusual in
! oratorical contests.
The Pacific coast forensic league,

series is composed of colleges and

“Red Shoes lor Luck”
Is Mayfair’s Gift Hobby
LONDON VP> —Mayfair society has
reverted to folk lore as the basis
for novelties. Red shoes and slip
pers are the thing just now.
For birthdaya, anniversaries of
various kinds and other occasions
(where gifts are desired, old time
i superstitions have been dug out of
'the moldy past and given a nice'
colorful touch of modernism.
“Red shoes for luck,” is the May
fair slogan.
! In the days of old the present of
ja pair of shoes, of any color, or
Isome trinket in the form of shoes,
(was universally considered to im
ply the wish for a happy and pros
perous journey along life’s path
way. ,
It was a common practice for a
pair of "charm” shoes, wrought in
wood, brass and sometimes even in
gold, to be hung up near the fire
place to ensure happiness of the
home.
These trinkets have reappeared
in the novelty shops, and are the
vogue, being as popular here as was
the 'Teddy Bear in American when
(Theodore Roosevelt was in the
White House.
