Men and Women Golfers.

Cecil Leitch, who has made a study
of golflng for girls, says women should
not expect to win the international
championship. While the best women
golfers may compare favorably with
the average man player, yet they will
be hopelessly outdistanced by the man
experts, he asserts. There Is no doubt
In his mind that men are better
equipped physically to carry off the
championship in golf matches, and,
while the game is just as much fun
for the women as for the men, yet
women cannot be victorious. He says
that skill counts and that a girl may
be just as skillful in handling golf
clubs as a man. but when 1t comes to
strength and hard hitting she is handi-
capped.

GETTING READY
. TO DROP TEDDY
PrOgfGSSiVGS Believe His Day
Is Over

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The
violence and bitterness of Roosevelt's
speeches in the West, and the hints
Of possible bolt generally discerneI
in them, Notwithstanding the Colonels
denial that he had threatened to bolt
if defeated by Taft at Chicago, have
completely chilled whatever Roosevelt
enthusiasm there was formerly felt by
many of the Republican Progressives
in Congress. While at one time a few
of the most radical Progressives look
ed forward without f1inching to the
possibility of third party movement
headed by a Progressive Republican,
this idea seems to have been entirely
driven from their minds by the utter
collapse of the Roosevelt boom and
the wild way in which the former
President is venting his bitterness ov-
er this outcome. His yelled threats of
boiling the Chicago convention have
capped the climax for the Progressives
realize now that the split in the party
such a course would entail would de-
stroy their chances of reelection to
Congress this fall, as Samson de-
stroyed the temple They feel that
their chances of reelection have al
ready been seriously impaired by the
remarkable trend Taft-ward shown in
many of the supposed Progressives'
centers of the West, notably in Iowa.
From sources close to the President
reports come today of information re-
ceived that some of the men who were
instrumental in inducing Roosevelt to
shy his hat into the ring are now dis
/ mayed by the disastrous results of the
Colcnel's candidacy and are anxious
that he should withdraw as they for
merly were to have him become a can
didate and Save the party" They are
not ready for a bolt at Chicago and
will have no part in any such pro-
ceeding. In fact, their feet seem %
have become thoroughly refrigerated.
This beginning of the end, the com
ing over that casts its shadow before,
in the form of party defeat is reaching
President Taft through letters and
PERSONAL interviews from politicians
from all sections of the country.
The former Presidents prominent
hackers and supporters are getting
ready to make known to him that his
continuance in the Presidential race IS
sure to bring ruin to themselves, and
that unless he recognizes the inevita-
BILE and yields gracefully they will
withdraw their support.
When Roosevelt returns East he
will be told in very plain language by
these radicals and insurgents that he
is not only running himself but is put
ting out of business many faithful
friends who have stood by him to this
time.

the dowager empress of Russia is an
adept at photography. Once Queen

was preparing to snap when Queen
Mary, then the princess of Wales,
came quietly behind and, raising her
own camera, took her royal aunt in

1000 MEN ON RAILROAD JOB.
Bridge Workers Making Good Progress
Immense Ieces of Steel Being Laid
Track Work on Vermont Side.

Enough money was distributed yester-
day by the paymaster of the Holbrook,
Cabot & Rollins corporation to pay for
a large amount of early Christmas shop
ping. About 1000 men are working on
the new railroad job and each receives
lis semi monthly bundle; and great
was the joy spread along several miles of
railroad construction work. At present
about 200 men are employed on the con-
struction of the new bridge across the
Connecticut river and a good share of
these are bridge workers in the employ
of the American Bridge company The
work Of leveling off the ledge under the
bed of the river for pier No. / continues
and Engineer Wyles Russell says it is
progressing better than was expected as
the ledge is hard and all the work has
to be done by a dredge and by blasting
under water.
The 'wood-butchers'' are preparing
the faise-work for the bridge workers
between pier No. l and pier No. and
the bridgemen have accomplished good
amount OF work this week The spans
frome pier No. 2 TO the west abutment
are laid and the rails are in place and
now the men are working on the super
structure between piers and 3. The
truss and girder spans are in place on
the north side of the bridge. The
stretch between piers and is 25O feet,
and the first 500 feet of the bridge will
be double tracked The rails have been
laid on the completed panel. diff
ficult piece of work was performed Tues
day when the three top cords were
placed on the superstructure. 1t was a
job that required expert knowledge of
the art OF bridge building. The centre
cord weighs Ss tons and is about 60
feet long.
It takes the bridgemen longer to set
~the bolts in the steel work than 1t does
to place the steel sections as thousands
OF bolts have been used. On this side
OF the river the dirt is being hauled to
make the fill from the end of the bridge
to the Central Vermont yard,
