BOBBY JONES AND MON Money talks, but not in playing amateur golf. There is Bobby Jones, for instance, who has just set up a record which many believe wiil stand for all time, If the popular Bobby relied upon his returns from golt for a livelihood he of course would be a professional; and he would have no amateur standing at all. He doesn’t rely upon golf for the means of subsistence because he is a lawyer. In a broad sense, golf to | him is a hobby. And instead of his hobby carning a few pennies for him it sets him back a pretty penny. Except when he is a member of, a team, the expenses of which are paid by some golf association, he pays all his own cxpenses. It“Jones were a dollar chaser he would turn professional and clean up half a million dollars within a few years not But he is not inclined to if more. chase dollars along the fairways. Instead, he spends his money while setting just like the first rate happens to be. The $50,000 home which citizens of Atlanta presented tried to present to him, remains not his property, the king of golfers be- ing disinclined to accept it because it would injure his amateur stand- ing—not up records, sportsman he to him, or actually, because there has never been a ruling made but possibly.

A man who can make the keys of the ginny fly like this is a high- ly skilled member of society, worthy of some attention. It so hap- pens that Hossfield, who had suc- cessfully defended his title of world’s champion on previous occasions, did not write quite as fast as he did at the international typwriting contest in Toronto the previous year. At that time he averaged 135 words a minute, a fellow townsman, Al- bert Tangora, of Paterson, N. J., averaging 131.

There is Miss Remo Poulsen, of | Waterbury, Conn., for instance. She is the champion amateur typist, having won the title at the Rich- mond gathering. Of course, she is far above the average speedy amateur typist, and folks down in Waterbury gape in wonder when they see her in action. Her average speed was 114 words a minute.

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS IN NOBLE EXPERIMENT Confronted with the certainty that | the ate had no chance at all this year Republican party in New York it a dry platform were to be the| vehicle to the polls, the Repub- licans of the state have taken an- other by adopting a wet program, hoping thereby to appeal | to wet voters who would vote the chance Democratic ticket if there were only one wet party in the fleld. In so doing the chance is that the | Republican party will lose dry vot- ers, considering that the drys intend to operate their own party in the present campaign. It remains to be seen, therefore, whether many drys will desert the habit of voting for the Republican ticket.
