DEFEAT OF MISS BURNS BY EDITH CUMMINS. IS PSyGHOLOBY. EXAMPLE By WALTER CAMP. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The very decisive defeat administered by Miss Edith Cummins to Miss Miriam Burns, no leas than 12 up and 10 to play, is another sporting evidence of the psychology of golf. In the semi-finals, Miss Burns had played such remarkable golf that a match. ing of the scores would have shown that she would havo defeated Miss Cummings decisively on that day. But its Is one thing to be playing against an ordinary opponent and auite another thing to be exchanging shots with the champion. Experi: ence, polse and confidence always count hr thé fingls and in this case Miss Burns was quite off her game while Miss Cummings played sterling golf, As a matter of fact in tho finals. conceding two putts that were not holed, .Miss Cummings would have had the low score for the tournament as she made an 81 in the opening round. The two Cummingses are making a lot of trouble in the golfing world For Miss Edith is a sister of Dexter Cummins, the intercollegiate cham plon who will have to be reckoned with this year. The welcome which Miss Helen Wills received when she took the court against Miss Beaupre in the opening match at Forest Hills in the women's national singles, was indeed well deserved. She endeared herself to her partisans here almost more by her defeat at Wimbledon and her comeback at the Olympica than ff she had sailed through both swimmingly. For, after all, it is the Poise of the girl that makes her so convincing. Our poloists seems to gbe some of the troubles that ball team.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Standing out In the women’s national singles at Forest Hills is chiefly, the grim intensity of Molla B. Mallory. Most tennis critics say she is through. Hoyt is doing fully as well in the box as in 1923. Pennock is coming back with a splendia showing for a Pitcher of no greater physique than his. Bush has a fine chance to have a record no worse than that of last year. But Jones is hope- lessly out of It. If he were pitched twice a week for the rest of tho season and won all the time he would hardly be able to equal his Jast year's record. Gaston, a kid)pitcher of Paterson, from whom little was expected, has managed to win five times as many games ab’ he has lost and that is as much the Yanks could ask of the most expensive pitching star.

Of course, as every one knows, if there was anything wrong with my administration as county commissioner the state examiners would have found it out long ago. I have been out of office four years, and when I left office’ the state examiner checked everything up and put his o. k. on everything. ¥ To show the animus back of Levand’s propaganda, I only wish to de’ with him, and the people can draw their own conclusions: A few days after I filed for the office of County Commissioner one of my friends came to me and said that Mr. Levand of The Herald, wanted to see me. I dropped into The Herald office on business late one night. Mr. Levand and I engaged in conversation on general topics until the fact that I was a candidate for office came up. 1 one conversation Mr. Levand said that he had not decided whether he would oppose or support me until he found out where I stood on certain questions. The question of county printing came up, and I very frankly told Mr, Levand that I would not promise him anything. I told him that that there would be two other members of the Board, and that I might be a minority member if elected. I told him that I did not think that either paper should have ALL the printing, and that I thought the arrangement now of award- ing it for six months to each paper was working satisfactorily, and it would be my judgment, if the other members of the Board concurred, to continue such an arrangement. “Well, you know the legal printing ain’t all there is to give out,” said Mr. Levand. I told him that he would probably get his share of the job printing from the other county officers no matter who was elected. “You don’t seem to grab what I am talking about,” said Levand... “There are other things beside the printing. There’s some real money in sight. You know Casper is the most over-rated town in the country and you can’t make anything running a newspaper off of advertising and there’s nothing in job printing. I don’t care so much what you do about the printing if I am let in on the other stuff, I told Mr. Levand that I didn’t know what “other stuff” he was talking about. well, if you don’t know you ain’t got no business being county commissioner,” was his reply. At this point in our conversation Mr. Byron Huie and Mr. Joseph C. O'Mahoney came in and interrupted us. “Come in again and we will finish that,” said Levand as I went up the stairs. He phoned me once or twice to come over, but I did not care to talk to him further. J. B. GRIFFITH FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER, 4-YEAR TERM, REPUBLICAN TICKET —Political Advértisement
