Tine handicap plan is the first experiment of the kind made on a national basis in the history of golf in this country, and as such will be regarded with considerable interest.

 Wage Difficulty.

London, March 23.--The govern. ment wage bill as 1t stands will not settle the coal strike. That Is now admitted on all sides Therefore, with the gravest anxiety the country awaits the results of Mondays joint conference of coal owners and min Aers. Miner leaders have consented to waive their district schedule which heretofore they have maintained as the only basis of settlement which they would accept but they will iti- sist upon their demand for the five and two shilling minima.
 The government adheres to it's re. fusal to embody these rates ih tii bill If the owners agree to conceda 5his demand. it is the general opinion that the strike will be speedily set. tied; if they do not, it will make lit- tle difference whether the bill in it's present shape is passed or with drawn.
 Bill or no bill, the men remain with the minimum demand unsatisfied and the strike continues. Previous joint conferences attended by members oi | the cabinet resulted in an absolute deadlock. Since then both sides have been subjected to the pressure of public opinion and great financla loss with the prospect that the gov ernment will be driven to resort tc drastic measures to end the intoler i abie situation
 That these considerations have brought the disputes to a more req i sonable and more conciliatory fram' of mind is evident and therein liel | the hope that the conference vii reach an agreement

beat Lieut.. Burns up and got
away.
Today Chief McWeeny is sore
as a boil and says the Chicago po-
lice will get the big laugh all over
the country.
Fifty sleuths are now hunting
the international crooks; and the
chief is Tuning, fretting and blub-
bering. He may have to cable
Hearst to come home from Yoor-
up and catch the crooks.
Here are some things the big
chief wants to know:
Why Capt. Mahoney made no
report of the original tip about
the, crooks being in town;
Why Burns went to the saloon
alone except for his badge when
the crooks were known to be dan
gerous;
Why Burns didn't use his au-
tomato gun before one of the
crooks took a bite at his shooting
hand;
Why Burns serious injury
wasn't reported to the chief.
In the meantime charges will
be made against Burns at the
next meeting of the civil service
commission, presided over by the
business manager of the Exam
liner.
If the regular detectives don't

New York. March 1S.-McGoorty.
Klaus. Dillon and the rest of them in
their struggle to seize the middle
weight crown. may have a new COM
petitor to contend with. Georges Car
pentier, the French middleweight. who
defeated Jim Sullivan. the English
champion, recently, has stated that he
intends to make'a trip to this country
for the purpose of disputing the hon
ors with our leading middleweights.
Just now Carpenter is in such great
demand in Europe that he has not
been able to fix a definite date for his
contemplated trip to America.
The Frenchman Is matched with
George Gunther and the famous Kid
Mccoy. His bout with Mccoy is near
ly two months off yet. Carpenter is
planning to make the trip shortly aft
er he gets through with the American
veteran, provided, Of course. that one
Of McCoy'S corkscrew wallops does not
bring disaster in its wake.
From all accounts Carpenter Is a
real champion. His defeat Of Harry
Lewis indicates that he is not a false
alarm by any means. There seems to
be room for doubt. however. whether
he can make the middleweight limit.
He will meet McCoy>as a heavyweight
and in his bout with sulliavn the
weight was above the scale. The
French champion is young, and Is still
growing. Possibly by the time he
reaches this country he will have de-
veloped into a full-fedged white hope.

NATIONAL TEAMS
r CONFIDENT

Marlin. Tex, March 1S.-Among
the giants who r gathered here for
the spring training. there appears to
be an opinion that the team will be
better provided with pitchers this year
than 1t was last. It Is true that the
players have had little opportunity to
see the men at work. but there Is a
conviction among the regulars-one Of
those notions which a baseball team is
likely to get without n marked
demonstration to substantiate its be-
lief-that the pitching end Of the
teams work will be taken care of in
a satisfactory manner.
Another month from now there will
be something more than preliminary
confidence to tell whether there is
warrant for this belief. Naturally the
players expect that Mathewson and
Marquard will be somewhere near the
form Of 1911. II they are up to that
standard It will lessen the work of
the other pitchers.
