They know it is the best acting ball or, when playing for money stakes, they would not use it.

THE DRIVE: The essential requirement of a golf ball is that it should have the proper resiliency in order to secure the greatest distance. The Champion carries further than any other ball made. -• THE BRASSEY: A pronounced quality of the Champion ball lies in the easy way it "gets up" when lying badly. It ascends quickly from the club — a decided advantage in the second shot. THE APPROACH: While the flight of the Champion is greater than any other it will be found that, off the irons, it can be more easily controlled. It can be pitched up on the greens with a minimum amount of run. THE PUTT: The Champion can be firmly struck and it holds the line with great accuracy and with an entire absence of that "jumpiness" noticed in other balls. The Champion ball floats and is by far the most durable ball of the rubber-cored type, and, in consequence, the cheapest. For sale by all dealers and clubs at $6.00 per dozen.

CHALFONTE IS ALWAYS OPEN I lsl A New Novel by the Author of THE MASQUERADER" Presenting the Most Unusual and Captivating Heroine of the Year The Gambler by KATHERINE CECIL THURSTON RS. THURSTON again gives the M world a novel of striking and original achievement. In "The Gambler" she has portrayed a heroine as superbly fascinating as she is unusual in fiction. Clodagh Asshlin is a beautiful Irish girl—impetuous, eager for gayety, the soul of honor—but inheriting from her father the taint of his passion for gambling. It is a story of life in fashionable English circles, where Clodagh finds herself the centre of attraction and attention. Love at last awakes to meet a noble response in Sir Walter Gore, but debts, intrigues, and difficulties have so closed in upon her butterfly whirl of

7 he Gambler pleasure that her romance threatens to prove her ruin. Mrs. Thurston has worked it out superbly. It is a powerful story, as magical in its charm and as compelling in its interest as was "The Masquerader." The love-tale is most appealing, so vividly has the author portrayed her heroine, intensely human and lovable in her strength and weakness alike.

"It's the Man Behind the Club"

HAT is responsible for remarkable results in golf, yet T there is satisfaction in having the feeling that your clubs are right—then if you are not able to get results you think you are entitled to, you will not quarrel with your clubs, but be very liable to look to your swing to locate the difficulty. We do not maintain that the models used by Willie Anderson in winning the U. S. Open Championship three times and the U S. Western Championship twice are ex- WILLIE ANDER80N. actly suited to all golfers ; still, from long experience in the OPEN ANU WESTERN CHAMPION. manufacture of Clubs we think we know good clubs when we see them, and are willing to stake our reputation on pronouncing them models of exceptional merit, and we believe in nine cases out of ten with his Driver and Brassie the first and second shots would show decided improvement. One could surely have confidence in the Clubs, which is a great factor, for it has been proven by remarkable exhibitions that these same clubs are capable of extraordinary results. If you are not entirely satisfied we believe it worth while to give these Anderson Clubs a trial. You could relieve yourself of that mental strain of the possibility of your clubs not being correct models, and devote your time to form. The Clubs are of the best material procurable and made up under Mr. Anderson's personal direction, and his ideas as to what a Driver and Brassie should be are carried out in every detail. EACH CLUB BEARS THE CHAMPION'S SIGNATURE AND IS FULLY WARRANTED. Jt ji Jt jt jt jt PRICE $2.50 If your dealer or club does not keep these Clubs, send to us.
