A friend of mine, Mr. Murray How

volume of Boyle's Oames, published
In 1618 more than a hundred years
ago.
Who was Mr. Hoyle? Haven't you
ever heard the phrase. "According to
Hoyle?" Well, he was Ectmoud Hoyle,
who wrote lndefatlgably and expertly
of games ot all kinds, Including card
games, golf and even the bumble
craps.
Mr. Hoyle had a good deal to say
of golf or "goff," which he terms
celebrated Scotch game almost
peculiar to "that country," played
with clubs and a ball, . the former
being employed to hit the latter Into
series of holes "the common dis
tance between one hole and another
being about a quarter of a mile."

Veteran Berkeley
Track and Field
Coach to Retire
BERKELEY. Cel., Sept. 8. (API-
Walter Christie, the University of
Callfornla'a grand old man, and head
coach of her track and field teams
for 31 years, had permission to retire
today.
In a brief letter to the executive
council of the Associated Students,
Christie made that request last night,
and It was granted Immediately, with
the request that he stay until the
end of the 1033 season.
And when Christie retires, It will
be on two-thirds pay tor lite, the
council decided. The request thst
he remain until the end of the 1033
season was made on account ot the
I. C. A. A. A. A. meet which will
be held In Berkeley next spring.
Marshfleld Bids considered for re
painting city hall.
Compromise Hint
The light ball, it appears, was not
so much a problem as In these days.
According to Mr. Hoyle It was used
la the solution ot a problem:
"The balls are much smaller than
ttiose used at cricket, and much
harder. They are made of horss
leather, and stuffed with feathers In
a peculiar manner, and then boiled
. . . When playing with the wind
light balls are used; and heavy ones
against It."
This proves, Mr. Howard asserts,
that the new ball la halt wrong, any
way.
In regard to the holes, the distance
ot which that Is, whst Mr. Hoyle
calls the "common distance" Is
about a quarter ot a mile, It Is ex
plained that while there Is a succes
sion or scries ot such holes, each one
Is a separate "game" In Itself. Obvi
ously all competition was at match
play, In those days.
The one-shottsrs came In ' with
medal play, por.haps, when a certain
pride in "holing the round" began
to appear, In addition to the match
play achievements ot our forebears.
Eighteen boles averaging a quarter
of a mile apiece would not be exact
ly conducive to snappy medal scores
even today and even with the good
old 1.63 ball.
"Crabbed" Out
Mr. Hoyle says of backgammon,
"It Is allowed on all hands to be the
most Ingenious and elegant game,
next to chess; the word Is Welsh, and
signifies a 'little battle.'"
Our ultra-modernlstlo game of
craps evidently Is a version ot Mr.
Hoyle's game, "Hasard." The latter
day jiame probably came from the
depressing double-one, known today
aa "snake-eyes," but a hundred years
ago as "crabs."
They do look like crabs' eyes, euro
enough, although I have heard them
called a lot of other things.
ALAN GOULD
The Athletics have a chance to
bowl over a number of additional
records this, year In their gallop
toward a third successive American
league pennant.
The old A'a won four out of five
In 1910-14, but this will be Connie
Mack's first "triple," to equal the
marks set by the Detroit Tigers and
duplicated twice by the New York
Yankees under Miller Hugglns.
The Athletics can set a new record
by winning the world's championship
tor the ttilrd straight time.
Mack already has won more world's
championships thsn ,any other man
ager, five, but he neds to direct two
more pennant winners (Including
1031) to equal the mark set by John
McOraw of the Giant.
The A's, with a 13 game lead In
mid-August, stood a good chance to
bust the record margin of victory In
an American league race. The Yan
kee maulers ot 18117 set the league
mark when they topped the A'a by
19 gomea.
That same year, the Yanks created
another league record, with 110 vic
tories, and this likewise Is within the
grasp of the present Philadelphia
steamroller.
The Chicago cubs set the major
league record with 116 victories In
1006.
It anybody cares to have the dirt
dialed up now, the Athletic already
hold the record for having lost the
most games In any American league
campaign 117 In 1016.
opposition, If any, to the parade of
me Atnietice, there la nothing much
for the western half of the American
league to look forward to for some
time to come.
Cleveland has looked like an up-and-coming
club but failed by a
wide margin to fulfill expectations
tnu year, so far as the others are
concerned, the well known building
process, thst begins along in August
and tlailes by the following May, is
on.
Eastern Monopoly
Esatern clubs have put a strangle
hold on the American league pennant
or gonfalon. It has been tlown ex
clusively along the Atlantle seaboard
since 1030, the year that Cleveland
won Its only league championship.

old Detroit Tigers and Chicago White
Sox were up In the thick of the fight.

LOB ANOBLBS (UP) A strong
and heavy Trojan football team will
take the field In late September in
an effort to bring a Pacific Coast,
or even a national championship
for 1931, to the University of South
ern California. , v
A aurvey of prospects revealed that
Coach Howard Jones could blow a
whistle to start practice today and
find 10 tried letter men to form the
backbone of the squad which must
play the toughest schedule ever
worked up for a U. S. C. eleven.
Jones Is pleased with his 1931
prospects. Last year his team lost
only to Washington State by a 7
to 6 score and to Notre. Dame In a
37 to 0 deluge at the end of the
season. Until the Irish came to Los
Angeles, the Trojans had ranked
as one of the nation's outstanding
college football teams, with top
heavy victories over Stanford and
California aa the high points of the
season.
That U. 8. O. will be fighting for
national honors this year Is evi
denced by- the fact that Jones has
only to worry about three positions
on the team -and that worry con
sists of a selection from several good
men aspiring to the available Jobs.
Bummer Stntement.
Qulzsed for a statement as to his
prospects, Jones said It was hardly
thinkable that any coach would wax
enthusiastic In the middle of the
summer.
"However, you may say that South
ern California should have 04 good
a team as that of last year," was
his final con cession for print.
The coach freely discussed his
men and where he planned to play
them. He wants to find the best
possible ball carrier to play fullback.
Jfe needs a heavy, fast quarterback
to share burdens with light Orville
Mohler, sophomore of last year. The
left end Job Is open to the man
with the most fight.
Ernie Plckert. all-America right
halfback, will play the fullback spot
If Jones can find a suitable blocker
In young Robert Brsklne, from Ot
tumwa. la., and If Ptnckert can force
Jim Mustek, fullback for two years,
to the bench.

dolus Shaver, sub -fullback for two
years, la the outstanding early sea

THREE SWIMMERS
IN CHILLY WATER
George Young First Across
Line in 15-Mile Paddle
for $10,000 Prize Few;
Entrants Abie Stand Cold
TORONTO, Ont.. Sept. 3. (API-
Johnny Walker, who rowed a boat
15 miles Instead of swimming it in
the Canadian national exhibition
swim marathon, today received his
share of the honors that went with
George Young's iatJn winning the
race and Its 10,000 'first prize.
Walker, one of Canada's leading
coaches, supervised the training that
carried Young to his remarkable
victory over the icy waters of Lake
Ontario and 179 other swimmers
yesterday, and coached Margaret Ra
vlor, the Philadelphia girl who won
the women's 10-mlle grind last week.
Three Finishers.
Young, and BlU GoU of New York
and Warren Anderson of ' Sidney,
if. 8., the only other swimmers who
finished the race, got their full
share of praise, however. Only about
30 swimmers lasted more than four
or five miles, six remained In the
water when Young pulled across the
finish line eight hours and eight
minutes after the start and only two
of the six lasted until the end.
Gc.ll took second place with a
good performance that brought him
to the line an hour and 18 minutes
behind the winner, while Anderson
plugged along through the darkness
and ' the water, growing even colder
than during the day, until he finally
reached the finish shortly before
midnight. ,
Plan Protest.
Decision how the $15,000 prize
money should be distributed was
deferred.
Many of those who succumbed to
the Icy waters, some lasting only a
few minutes, planned to protest to
day. Exhibition officials had stipu
lated the race would not be held
unless the temperature of the water
was 58 degrees. It was only a frac
tion above that mark at the start
ing point yesterday and outside the
breakwater. It was reported as , low
as 46.

Sirs:
We can recommend Electrolux Oaa Refrigerators as ris
ing, in our opinion, the best of the automatic refrigerator
on the market at present. After having one box on test
for a period of six months in one of our buildings, we pur
chased about one hundred and seventy units, ail of which
have given satisfactory service In every respect.
We have been purchasing the four and five cubic fee
units. We believe that these boxes are best of the present
