This in America

In Mexico in time of Instruction the mill
tary authorities suspend the much abused con-
stitution of the alleged republic and punish Of
tenders by inflicting the death penalty, either by
arranging the condemned neatly in front of a
convenient wall, facing firing squad they
invoke the so-caled fugitive" law, which per-
mits their unhappy victims to make a dash for
Freedom" only to be shot in the back.
Military rule in the coal fields of West Vir-
ginia, where an actual state of revolution has
existed for the past two years, has not been feat
ured by summary executions, but it has been
marked by such brutality and wanton injustice
that the American people must shamefully con-
fess that their "holier than thou" attitude toward
their neighbors across the Rio Grande has been
an unwarranted pose.
At the senatorial investigating committees
hearings at Charleston, the former prosecuting
attorney of Kanawa county, now congressman,
testified that the civil courts not closed dur
ing the period of labor disturbances, but were
imperative owing to the fact that it was impos-
sble to have impartial trials by jury. However,
he had explanation to offer why rebellious
miners, most of whom are native born Ameri
cans not tried in the civil courts outside the
trouble zone instead of before drum head court
martials.
The senate investigating committee also has
in its possession testimony showing the utter
disregard of the military authorities to the con-
stitutional rights of the offending citizens. 1t
was ascertained that there appeal to
verdict of the military commission, if approved
by the governor except to the supreme court of
the United States; that men were sent to the
pententiary for long terms on conviction of Of
lenses which would be regarded as misdemean-
ors by civil courts that after the commission had
heard testimony in a case it went into secret ses-
sion, executed sealed finding after the nature
of verdict, and forwarded it to the governor
and the unfortunate wretch was kept in ignor-
ance of his fate until he was hauled away to the
state prison.
1t also interesting information to all
American citizens who boast of their rights and
privileges under the constitution of the United
States, that those West Virginia miners in their
fight to free themselves of the yoke of the big
business interests which had enslaved them were
denied the right of new trial Also that they had
no opportunity to secure bail, and that there was
no possibility for them to obtain stays of exc
cution.
Sensational as has been the testimony in the
hearings conducted in Charleston the past week
it will be nothing in comparison with the infor-
nation obtained when the causes of the coal
field disturbances are probed into and placed I'M
der the light of publicity.

come to pass and the captains are COM
PEELED to stand for a lot of adverse
criticism for not doing the right thing
at the right moment. they will be glad
to shift the responsibility to somebody
else.
Georgetown seems to have two men
with whom to start it's track season who
are much above the average in the south
They are Jones and Stebbins. The first
mentioned ran for the Western High
School last season and proved himself one
of the best scholastic performers in the
country. His work was noticed and COM
mented on by many critics, and the rat
ing given him in each instance was ex-
ceptionally high. He was placed head
and shoulders above every other perform
er in the south. He will make the Blue
and Gray relay team without the least
trouble and is now considered a regular.
Stebbins ability is Well recognized. He
was the best man on the Georgetown
four last season, which undoubtedly was
one of the fastest mile teams in the east,
and that he will again be the mainstay is
certain. He is fast all the way in a quar-
ter, and the burst of speed he has in the
final stretch is remarkable.
1t ought not to be a difficult job for
Georgetown to dig UP man as fast In
the quarter as was Johnnie Gallagher, but
it will not be an easy task to get the
fourth man-not by any means. Brewer,
captain of the team. could be developed
into as capable a 40 man as was Gala
CHER. but to secure one to take the lead
off place, vacated by Horter, is going to
be well nigh impossible. Horter was one
of the best lead-off men in an indoor mile
relay in the country. At that, with the
men mentioned as q nucleus. Georgetown
should have a very capable relay team.

that he had never in his life been hit
SO hard as by the lad from Minnesota.
As Pal Brown is only twenty-one years
old. and a coll-headed, STRENGTHENING
boy. there is great future in front
of him. He will startle America as well
as Australia when given his chance.

professional career he has never knocked
anybody out except Billy Donovan, in To-

In the Melbourne fight the referee

boxer in that state) gave the decision
to Michigan. Referee Arthur Scott. in

straight out that il was bad and in

Self Control Is
Taught by Golf

Playing golf has done more to teach
many a man greater self-contrOl than
all his childhood or business training.
No one can acquire any degree Of pro-
gress at golf until he has learned by
experimentation of otherwise-that he
must maintain a high order of self-con-
troll. He soon learns that, to lose his
temper over a bad shot or some seeming
ly unlucky incident, Is to bring on ad-
ditional trouble and make even respect
able scoring impossible.
No one really becomes an expert or
even a high-class average player until he
has learned to forget a bad shot as soon
as it is made and cheerfully overlook the
thousand and one little incidents that go
er and fascinating pastime and recrea-
ton that 1t is.
know one man who has been fairly
successful In business who a few years
ago got SO mad after a bad shot that he
would break a club over his knee or
throw 1t into the woods and threaten
to kill the caddy who dared to offer to
go after 1t. He was hot headed and then
some.
Gradually this player found his
friends less and less DESTROYS Of play
ing with him and they told him the rea-
sun why. 1oOdy ne Is DdCk IN tuch
good graces and takes his bad plays or
misfortunes with fortitude that must
be satisfactory to himself. His friends
think a heap more of him for controlling
quick temper that we all know still
turks under the skin.
Incidentally this same man is more
successful in his business than ever be-
fore. He probably hurled chairs about
the Office and broke windows in the old
days when things didn't go his way. To-
day he is more rational in every phase
OF his life and has learned that you can
catch more flies with molasses than with
vinegar. Golf has done much for him.

Another hot-tempered individual of the
balls into pond ahead of a tee, picked
up his bag of clubs and threw them In
the water after the balls. The act &C.
CURED early in the round, and remember
ing that he had many bets of dollar
and upward a hole he had to humiliate
himself by paying a caddy a dollar to
wade out into the pond and recover the

This same man now takes misfortune
or defeat like man, and every time l
happen to meet him. which is once or
twice a year, there is a twinkle in his
eye which shows that he is still ashamed
of himself for that childish outburst of
several years ago.
The man who whacks his ball away
from the cup every time he misses a
short putt, sometimes tearing out a huge
bit of turf at the holeside, is one of the
sort that will be improved by playing
golf Ii his friends handle him right and
show him that by doing he is not

LITTLE EXPECTED OF BROWNS
Clubs Policy Comes in for Severe
Criticism.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ST. LOUIS, December 13.-Inside ink
lings Of the workings behind the St
Louis Browns are beginning to leak out
and are leading to the serious belief
among the fans here that the Browns are
once more the leading candidates for the
cellar championship Of the American
League. Some folk even cruelty hint that
the club owners aren't anxious to get out
of the subcellar.
The case of Pitcher Elmer Brown is
much to the point. Here are the facts:
Brown was with the st. Louis team early
In the season, then was turned over to
Montgomery team in the Southern
League Montgomery is just about the
same to the Browns that the Toledo Mud
hens are TO the Cleveland Maps
Anyhow, Brown showed by far the best
form OF any Southern pitcher. Fans here
confidently expected him to return to the
St. Louis fold, but 10 and behold along
come the Brooklyn Nationals with an of
fer of $1,000 cash for Pitcher Brown. and
Montgomery sells him to Brooklyn. Col.
Hedges, the st. Louis clubs president is
sues a statement deploring the fact that
his club had sold Brown outright to Mont
gomery and hadn't kept a string on him.
The truth is that the Montgomery club
is absolutely dominated by the ST. Louis
club and couldn't do anything the ST.
Louis magnate didn't want il to- But
something had to be said as an excuse
when Elmer Brown wound up the season
with Brooklyn by showing himself one of
the most likely youngsters plucked out of
the minors this fall
Incidentally the Browns are really being
raided by the Federals, and ii is no won
der. Baumgardner, the star pitcher who
left the Browns to go with Manager
George Stovall to the Kansas City Fed
erals received the munificent salary of
81 800 from the Browns this year. Catcher
Sam Agnew and others ready to tumu
were likewise recompensed with micro
scopic wages in st. Louis.

AL Orth had his own spit ball, the re-
verse of Ed Walsh's. 1t was thrown
underhand. being released about opposite
Orth's knee and pitched on an angle to
the batter's shoulder Orth held the ball
with his fingers underneath and thumb
