...must not be supposed, however, that the 18-hole golf course at Cold Harbor is used by him solely for its motor hazards. He can use driver, brassie, mashie as driver, brassie, mashie should be used; has covered the course in 72; frequently beats the "pro." He is fair at tennis. At St. Bernard's he took no more interest in athletics than he did in studies or in social activities. He was indifferent even to dress, favored $2.50 hats, and ready-made suits. When the Perroquet de Paris was opened to the elite of Manhattan's night life, Roger...
...terrible thing that had happened. What they knew about the story was this: A big U. S. battleship, the Maine, had rested in the harbor of Havana and there, one soft evening, when the captain was on shore, a greasy Spaniard had externally applied explosives, which had blown a hole through her bottom and had driven her keel upward through her deck.

Even should a player take so few as 67 strokes, as did Golfer Robert Tyre Jones Jr. in the national amateur qualifying round last week, his strokes would come at an average of less than three minutes apart. - ED. in a letter signed by L. A. Merillat- which appeared in your issue of Aug. 15. In this letter the writer states "there are fewer horses in cities than formerly but more in the United States than in 1900. The exact number given by a recent report...
...cruiser Jintsu, with a great gaping hole made by the Warabi, listed forward sharply and was towed in this precarious condition toward the Maizuru dockyards by the Kongo. The Ashi was also towed toward land by the Abukama. Neither cruiser lost any men. Total casualties were therefore 129 officers...
