A11is Receivers
From Golf
Slump
MiIwaukeean Who Took the Title
From Evans Is Playing in
Form at Harvard.
BY Chick Evans

n SHORT time ago | received an
~ interesting letter from Louis
Allis. Of Milwaukee. Mr. Al
lis, in addition to many high quail
ties of his own, is the father of the
sensational Med" who simply rip
ped things up during the Western
this year, and, after making a S11-
yard hole in one in the qualifying
round, snatched away my title with
an ease and nonchalance that fairly
deprived me of breath.
After defeating the Western cham
pion, who happened 10 be Charles
Evans, Jr., and an ex-national cham
pion, who happened to be Robert A.
Gardner, he succurhbed in the finals to
Warren Wood. We had all concluded
that after the exhibition he had been
giving us his golf In the nature of
things must wear out little by the
end of the tournament, and as War
rem Wood was in fine condition the
result was as stated.
We were surprised, however, to find
the slump continuing throughout the
summer, for after his phenomenal
progress through the Western he suf-
Tered defeat everywhere
He lost the Wisconsin champion
snip WUltn ndu become almost an Al
lis monopoly; was beaten at Lake
Geneva, and his game generally went
off We all realized that something
had happened, and we feared that he
was overriding it, Now we know
that he was as thoroughly overgolfed
as a man could wen be. He was so
crazy about playing that he went
forth upon the links and did his sc
holes day In and day out, until the
edge wore off. He finally realized his
mistake and took a rest.
Now, back at Harvard, he is hitting
them farther and straighter off the
tee than ever before, and, believe me,
that is going some. / am also sur
prsed to learn, after my experience
last summer, that his only weak spot
is on the green. When | made f. =.
Allis' acquaintance in the third round
of. the 1913 Western he was hoing
everything from a distance of 20. 80
and 40 yards, and il was enough to
make one dizzy to see him do it. And,
indeed, a mathematician has com
putcd that he took but one putt on
eight out Of the fifteen greens in an
afternoon match.

esting facts concerning the hurlers Of
the Johnson circuit, they present
nothing new in showing that Walter
Johnson is beyond a peradventure the
best pitcher In the league.
Ban Johnson has discarded the old
system of rating pitchers this season,
basing his records on the number of
runs earned off each hurler per game.
1t would be mighty difficult to keep
Johnson from the lead, however no
matter what system were used. Fig
ures show that the Washington
Speed King" worked harder than
any hurler in the league, taking part
in Al games, in each of which he al
lowed an average of but 1.09 runs.

SOME COIN NEEDED TO
RUN THE GEM STATE

what Governor Haines really meant
when he emphasized in his message the
absolute necessity for retrenchment in
the public business and economy all
the way down the line.
The figures given above as to the
state industrial school at st. Anthony
are estimated on the demands made
two years ago and the demands made
by the other institutions. No report
from this school is yet available, and
these requests for public funds are
by no means all that will reach the
legislature.
There is nothing in the above list
relating to the assumption of the
state fair enterprise by the state
which if carried out will mean a nice
appropriation. There is nothing about
roads and bridges and the hundred
and one things for which larger or
smaller sums will be asked. Yet here
is total running above two millions
and quarter.
One public official yesterday in
contemplating some of the figures
given herewith said that Idaho could
well afford to close up every state

to Harvard. In the opinion Of this
man the state would save money by
making such change.
1t is not known yet what PROPOSE
ton is to be submitted to the legis-
lature with reference to the state fair,
but it is presumed that it will be
along the same line as that of two
years ago, when it was proposed to
have the state appropriate money
enough to pay the balance due on the
fair grounds and buildings, and to
provide money enough to put the en-
terprise in good condition and on a
solid basis. Just how much this
would require has not been made
known.
There is strong sentiment abroad
