CHANGES IN GOLF TITLES
Hilton, the English Amateur,
Captures Honors Here.
RECORD YEAR FOR OLD GAME
Nearly Every Championship of
Importance Developed New
List of Winners.

With the recent Lakewood open tourna-
ment the competitive golf season in the
metropolitan district came to a close 70"
1911. Not only here but throughout the
North, from coast to coast. devotees Of the
game-that Is, those who do not make their
annual Southern invasions-have put aside
their clubs for the time being. During the
seven months when the tournament game
fourished competitions followed each other
thick and fast. and il IS safe to say that
the last year was the busiest ever known
on this side of the Atlantic.
a glance backward over the list of win
ners reveals the interesting fact that most
Of the important championship meetings
developed new title holders. W. e. Fownes,
ir, the Pittsburgher. who won the national
at Brookline in 1910 was brushed aside at
Apawamis. where Harold II. Hilton, Great
Britain's best amateur, won after sem
sational final round match with Fred Her
reshoif. Again. i'm the women's champion
ship Miss Dorothy Campbell. who had won
for two years in succession. lost at Baltus-
rol to Miss Margaret Curtis. the Boston
golfer. who won the title by defeating Miss
Lillian r. HYDE I'm the decisive test
break through the Scotch and English line
for tho first time. when Jack McDermott
won after = triple tie with NJ J. Brady. an
other homebred. nd G. o. Simpson. Alec
Smith was the retiring champion. Jerome
Travers regained the metropolitan and
New Jersey titles. and Smith the Eastern
professional crown. An exception was Miss
HYDE. who won the womens metropolitan
for the second year
SO far as the open and invitation meet
inSs are concerned tho three most con-
sistent winners in this vicinity were Gardi-
ner W. White. of Oakland. Walter J. Tray
is. OF Garden City. and Oswald Kirkby, Of
Englewood. White won four tournaments
in tfis Distributions at Garden City, Fox
Hills. Ardsley and Povelton. He also Won
the Utica tournament, making five in all.
At Wykagyl and Nassau he was the run
ner-up. Whites most brilliant perform
ance was IN. the spring at Garden city
when he defeated Travis in tho flna'
round, the match being carried to the
forty-frst hole
Travis competed often but won with
less regularity than in former years. lie
did manage to beat Herreshoff in an extra
hole final at Lakewood in tho spring. anc
,, also won one of the Ekwanok tournaments
as well as the fall meeting at Atlantic
City. kirkby won at Apawamis, Tuxedo
and Nassau, and il is now a generally ac
cepted fact that he is among the leading
amateurs Of the country.

Of the principal championships in the
I I-pIted States as well as the Open 1nu IN
vitation tournaments IN the metfoppiitar

Columbia to Retain
American U)afer Polo

there is 10 the manly. strong athlete In the
great hand -to-hand encounters that marx
every scrimmage. and how much sport
loving public must enjoy the ptth6
against each other in so fine a struggle OF
two clever, expert. well-matched teams. l
am already a strong partisan Of the game
myself. and since taking up its study
Rave come to learn how much science and
strategy enter into the formations for at
tack and defence.
MY one objection to il, Of which, how
over, / have not previously spoken is the
high standard of its requirements. Any
one can play soccer and enjoy It az a pas
time. so long as he can swim fairly well,
but for American water polo you nee1
watcrmen OF the best calibre, strong, en-
durant. able TO take punishment by the
heap. ready TO fight to the last breath n
them and with nerve and courage far
beyond the usual. Few men. even among
good swimmer, and athletes, are found to
possess the necessary qualifications. and
this naturally restricts the candidates TO
"A very small field.
Il will confess that ! hope in time 20
see soccer taken up al the colleges, no. as
the leading sport. which should and Will
be Rugby. but TO offer means of recrea-
ton 10 those members of the squad who
do not make the team, and to all those
who. while adopts at natation, are lacking
in some of.thc Indispensable requirements
Of the Rugby player.
Aquatic sports are becoming yearly
more popular, and the number of stu
dents who frequent the pool are increas-
ing steadily. II will not be long before
there will be plenty of material for the
formation Of teams To play either game,
and feel confident that the Rugby candi-
dates will themselves be glad TO practise
soccer. for they will find II a splendid
means OF acquiring speed and endurance
for their big games. which will help them
lot in standing the gruelling work and
securing victory"

Benevolent Express Companies

Within the short space Of three years
two of the big express companies have
presented their grateful stockholders
with melons" worth $48, 100000.
This pleasant return was on an original
investment of practically nothing.
Whatever assets the companies now
possess were accumulated out of sur
plus profits. The goose that lays their
golden eggs consists simply Of exclusive
contracts with the railroads, by which
they are licensed to overcharge the
long-suffering public for carrying par
GELS.
These private gold mines, called ex-
press companies, employ considerable
labor. Some 5000 of their drivers,
transfer men, schedule men and help
ers in New York and Jersey City went
on strike last fall Those holding the
most responsible positions, the route
drivers and transfer men, received, it
appears, $65 to SIS month for a
days work that began at a. IN. and
ended as soon after p. m. as the last
load on the platforms was hauled to its
destination.
This arrangement Of workday with
a regular hour for starting, but none
for stopping" often means, in practice,
fifteen hours labor out OF the twenty
four, with Sunday and holiday work for
which no pay is given. For helpers, it
seems, the companies thrifty prefer
boys, whom they can hire at $18 to
$40 a month.
The men demanded an advance of
SIS month in wages, with $50 month
minimum for helpers and workday of
eleven hours. AS the 800 per cent
express companies felt unable to grant
the mems demands, express business
in New York and Jersey City was thrown
into utter confusion. For years the
public had paid the companies 800 per
cent rates for carrying its parcels; but,
rather than deal literally with its en-
ployes in pinch, the companies calmly
permitted the public's parcels to lie
undelivered. AT one time, it is said,
$4,000 packages, generally requiring
haste and care, were piled up in the
various offices waiting for the strike to
end.
The grand bulwark Of this precious
business consists of the failure of con-
gress to pass parcels-post act.-The
Saturday Evening Post.

ParceIs-Post in the Orient

While we are gravely discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of making certain innova-
tons in this country, they are going
right ahead in the Philippines and do
ing things. Word has been received
from the consul-general at Hongkong
that the Manila government has put in
effect parcels-post arrangements with
Hongkong. 1t is intended to extend
this policy to other colonial establish
ments in the Orient.
The parcels-post is popular institu-
ton in many countries, and in France
even the market gardeners send theii
products to market by means OF it.
Congress is wrestling with the subject,
and it is making the Committee on
Postoffices and Postroads gray and
careworn.

Country Trade and Parcels Post
A country merchant in New Englan

A country merchant in New England
writes the Saturday Evening Post:
my experience in competing with
mail-or houses leads me to think a
parcels-post system would be benefit
to me rather than an injury. Quite
often, if one of my customers could
buy from mail order house some small
article that struck his fancy and have
the article delivered cheaply by post,
that would be the extsnt of his mail
order purchase. But he does not want
to pay high express charges on the
article, so he and his neighbors will
pore over the catalog and pick out
enough goods to make freight ship
ment. The result is the mail-order
house, instead of selling five pounds,
sells hundred pounds or more"
How many other country merchants
would find the same condition among
their customers with respect to mail
order business2 Isn't there, in fact, a
continual drumming up of trade for
mail-order houses by purchasers, who
wish their neighbors to join them, in
order to make up bulky shipment by
freight and avoid high express charges2
So far as we know, mail-order houses
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-01-06

have never taken any particular interest
in the parcels-post. Is this because
they are satisfied with scheme that
induces purchasers to buy in bulk?
This phase merits consideration.
The parcels-post, limited to rural
delivery routes as recommended by the
president, would certainly benefit the
country merchant. We doubt that an
extension of the system would really
injure him.
