By EDWARD w. KIBBEY.

President Taft, an ardent enthusiast of
the royal and ancient game, enjoyed
last week on the course of the Chevy
Chase Club, playing with Gen. Ed
wards and Maj. Butt. He was out Mon
day Thursday, and Friday afternoons,
and would have played Wednesday had 1t
not been for a special business engage
ment- Ideal weather conditions prevail
ed last week and many other golfers were
out on the Chevy Chase course.
Representative Nicholas Longworth, a
prominent golfer at the Chevy Chase
Club played an interesting twosome with
A. P. Gardiner last Wednesday after
noon. Mr.. Longworth had splendid luck
especially while going out.
Another fast and exciting twosome
was played on the course of the Chevy
Chase Club last Wednesday afternoon
between Gen. C. E. Edwards and F. o.
Horstmann.
The Saturday afternoon Journeys for
the women of the Washington Country
Club. will be resumed again the first
Saturday in September, and judging from
the interest shown last July, there VII
undoubtedly be over a dozen entries
each week. A handsome silver trophy
is donated by one of the members ecch
week.
Judging from the great interest shown
by fifty-two members of the Washington
Country Club who are playing for the
handsome cup that is donated by DR.:
Loren B. T. Johnson, chairman of the
house committee, the last two weeks of
the competition will undoubtedly result
in some of the hardest fought matches
played during the summer. Much rivalry
exists between the players, and next
week, when the competition draws to a
close and the winner is decided, DR..
johnson should be congratulated for
holding not only the most successful, but
the most enjoyable competition ever held
at the club or any other club around
Washington.
Earl Wheeler, who was third in the
race last week, is now leading with
fourteen matches Won and only four
lost. II Mr.. Wheeler wins two matches
which are scheduled for this week he
will undoubtedly remain in the lead and
win the cup. His percentage will then
be 800. L. B. Calvert, who is second in
line, having won seventeen matches and
lost five, will have to win three matches
straight this week in order to be even
with Mr.. Wheeler, and this is not likely,
although he may spring surprise on
his opponents.
Thomas Weldon who was second last
week. is now in third place, having won
ten matches and lost three, which is a
percentage of 769 A. Zappone, who has
won eight matches and lost one, is in
fourth place, while Capt. A. A. Fries
is next with 20 per cent. Last week was
a bad one for Capt. Fries, as he won
only one match of three played.
The conditions of the tourney follow:
Each man has the privilege of challeng-
ing any other member once during the
three summer months. The cup will be
awarded the player who has lost the
fewest matches, provided he has been
challenged at least twenty times. Handi-
cap match play rules govern the contest.
The official scores up to Friday follow:

Minor league magnates are experiencing
the poorest season that has fallen to their
lot in years. From every side are heard
cries of distress, and crashes would have
been frequent but for financial aid. 1t
has been said the minor league clubs that
lrtp ~. hn
counted on the fingers of one hand. In
counting the fortunate ones the St Paul
club should not be forgotten. That club
got enough coin OF the realm from the
Pirates for O'Toole and Kelly to tide over
several storms.
Connie Mack landed one of the best
backstops who ever graduated from the
minors when he purchased Big Ben Egan
from the Baltimore Orioles. Mack had
Egan on his training trip in the spring of
1910, but the catcher didn't show much.
AS soon as he was worked regularly by
Jack Dunn, Egan showed he was some
windpaddlst. He has an arm of steel and
has turned back more would-be base
stealers than any other backstop in the
Eastern League. Ben takes lots of
chances and generally gets away with
them. His speciality is nipping runners
of third. .
When one looks over all the veteran
players in the major leagues, who,
though they have been In the game many
years and are still playing 'high-class
ball, Fred Clarke. Of Pittsburg, really
stands out in a class by himself. Clarke
has been playing major league ball for
seventeen years or more, and there has
not been single season when he has not
been figured among the top-notch players
of the year. Not only Is Clarke still a
wonderful ball player, but he has been
a manager for the greater part of his
career, has been In some Of the hottest
pennant fights and has shown no sign of
weakening under the strain. Men OF the
Clarke type are rare In baseball, and
Pittsburg owes much to its efficient
leader.

WORKERS LEAVING AFRICA

Archibald Crawford, Socialist, says

the United States investigating labor
conditions, Is making a three days
stay In Detroit. He was surprised to
run across w. w. Davidson. High
land Park, whose brother, James Da-
wilson, is secretary OF the Socialist
party In South Africa.
Mr.. Crawford is q member OF the
town council Of johannesburg and the
editor OF South Africa's only Socialist
paper, "The Voice OF Labor" On the
present trip he has spent three months
In New Zealand and two In Australia,
studying Industrial conditions. He ar
rived In Vancouver the third of May
and travelled across the continent to
Chicago, giving lectures as he went
At Chicago he was engaged by the
National Socialist party and Is at
present lecturing under their auspices.
In Detroit he will speak on the "Po-
sition of New Zealand and Australia"
Monday evening, and Labor and Cap
ital In South Africa" Wednesday, both
lectures to be given at the foot of
Woodward-ave.
The position OF labor In Australia
is much misunderstood" said Mr..
Crawford. The labor party there
does not represent the workingman
at ALL Reform legislation is farce
and leaves workmen In worse instead
Of better circumstances. This Is so
noticeable that the exodus to the Unit
ed States and Canada Is greater than
the immigration from other countries.
In South Africa, very cheap negro
labor and the improved methods OF
mining have so greatly increased the
product OF the gold mines that the
region around johannesburg produces
nearly 40 per cent of the worlds out
put. More gold was taken from
johannesburg last year than the whole
world produced in 1880. From this
fact can be traced, to large extent.
the increased cost Of living the world
over. AS more gold is put on the
market, naturally its value decreases.
