But Burns must be given ciedlt for being
the one promoter who lias gone ahead
and staged shows weekly for profit.
The Cambria has been successful be
cause it Is located In a rial boxing cen
ter. The Kenslnglcn fans are great
boosters of the spoit and turn out every
week to witness the attractions put on
by the Burns and I'eeney combination
There Is enough Kensington talent nl
wajs around to Interest the fans. The
wind-ups seldom fall to appeal When
a few of the preliminaries do not go
the limit nn extra bout usually Is staged
This has done much to make the Cam
bria populai.
Promoter Burns Mas arranged an all-
star bantam card foi tonight. Most of
the boys are well known to Kensington
fans, and all have a following. Battling
Murray, Little Ital flv weight king, now
a near bantam nnd a Kensington favor
ite, will go to the post a slight favorite
over Bobby Dojle In the wind-up. These
bojs are fast, hard-hitting little fellows
capable of giving action.
Patsy Wallace, former amateur king,
and Young Merino, will be seen in the
seml-wlndup Young Merino is a former
New York boy who now makes this city
hi) home. Wallace will bo compelled to
give away a few pounds, but his speed
should more than offset this handicap
The other bouts will show Bobbj
Burns vs Frankle Con.va), Freddy Wil
liams vs Johnn Morgan and Young
Johnny IJuff.v vs. Johnny Sillier.
Joe Phillips and Tommy Carey will
appear In the wind-up at next week's
show.

mun man who wrote the "Stein Song,
JU particularly that portion of It, "For
It's alwavs fair weather when good fel
lows get together," must havo been a
Shrlner, for that Is the Impression you
get of tho nnnunl dinner matches which
Lu I.u Temple Country Club holds once
each year to celebrate tho golf season.
Good fellowship nnd the' finest sort cl
club spirit marked tho annual dinner
last night, when nearly 200 members
of the club sat down to dinner and tho
losers were as cheerful about it as if
they were not paving for tho dinners
of the successful team.
It seems only a few years ago that
tho club was organized through the
good offices of somo of tho live-wire
members At that tlmo there vvas
scarcely a man In the club who hid ever
played golf or who knew tho difference
between a niblick and stjmle. Those
were the dns when tho members were
wont to run out to tho club nnd watch
the others play tho game that Seemed
so futile and foolish. And when one
of tho members brought a real player
there tho beginners used to desert the
game to follow him around the course
and marvel nt tho great distances he
got from tho tee.
Encouraged the Members
I.Ike other clubs Lu Lu started with a
very easy course, with wide fairways
where the plavers could pull and slice at
will, with few. If any, traps tc discourage
the beginners In fact, every inducement
was offered to the beginners to get out
on tho course and learn the game. But
that sort of thing did not last very
long, for once n man steps out on n, tee
and hits a hall he Is gone bejond re
demption and from that tlmo on he, may
be put down a golf fanatic whose case
Is hopeless and for whom thcro Is no
cure, and gradually tho course was
stiffened
Lu Lu Is still an easy course, but when
tho war Is over there will arise a new
elghteen-bolo course planned by the best
of golf course architects, Donald Boss,
and nothing inoro need be said. The
elghtecn-holo course that Is to be will
be one of the beht that Donald has ever
laid out and ho never built a poor or
mediocre course In his life. And there
will be a new, big, commodious club
house, for the club has long outgrow n
Its present quarters nnd cannot begin to
accommodate tho present membership.
Once n jenr the club selects two teams
captained by the club champion and
the runner-up, and after the battle of
the links has been fought and It has
been decided just who will sign the
checks and the nineteenth hole lias been
plaved In par once more and the won
derful shots that were made have been
told to any one who is willing to listen
the members Hit down to a dinner that
needs nothing more to make the diner
happy and the ptizes won during the
reason arc distributed
It was nearly 9 o'clock when the
diners sat down, nnd when you realize
that ltd mm and women were at the
tables jou h ive some bort of an Idea how

they do things nt I.u Lu It was the'Vilg
uest gathering In the history of the club
There was to havo been a lot of post
prandial oratory, but It was bo late
when the tlmo came for tho presenta
tion that Charles Martin, the hustling
president, opened the meeting and then
turned the presentation over to W. Free
land Kendrlck. In addition to tho award
of the championship medals to Sim
merman and Walton, prizes were pre
bcntcd to Miss Gates, the woman cham
pion, and Mrs L 1) Adams, tho runner
up. Mrs. Adams won the title last year,
defeating Mrb Vnre 111 Ihe final.
Shriners Arc Some Songbirds
No Lu Lu dinner l complete without
music, and It was one continuous burst
of song In which every one participated.
One song followed another and most
of them were of a martial nature, and
of the typo so familiar to all of. us
these warlike, davs.
Then followed n fine movlng-plcturo
show and dancing, and It was well Into
the wee sma' hours when tho last auto
mobile left the grounds.
Charles t'rnkelovv made n stlring ap
peal for the American Bed Cross, and
In twenty minutes bo had collected JEOO,
which vvns given to Mrs W. Frceland
Kendrlck for the Logan branch of the
Bed Cross
One of the features of tho match was
that thirteen women members of the
club participated. Seven of these were
pitted against tho men, and only two
of them were able to win. Mrs. E. H.
Vare won her match from J. F. Grer
with a llnelj plavul shot to the eight
eenth green, laving the ball dead to
the hole. Miss Mildred Gates was pit
ted against L H. Adams, but he proved
too strong for her, although she plaved
some very fine golf. Mrs. L H Adams
played against Mnvor Smith, and It
proved to bo the spectacular match of
tho day, Mrs. Adams winning on tho
nineteenth ole. Wh. Frceland Kendrlck
found no great difficulty In defeating
Mrs L C. Block.
W. Boss Walton, who was beaten for
the club championship on the last hole,
evened up matters with his victor, D. II.
.Siminirman by beating him vesterda).
Dr. G. IL Simmerman was too busy
arranging tho dinner details to play.
