GOLFERS
DIVIDED

"Chick" Evans Believes
i'm Official National
Handicap

Golfers are divided In opinion on
the value OF the national handicap
list, which the United States Golf
association is thinking of discontin-
uing on account OF the immense
amount of work entailed In the com
pilation and its doubtful value.
Among those who think the list
should be retained are Chick Evans
and Sheriff. Sherman. Then there
are w. c. Fownes. Jr.. and Robert
Gardner. who favor its abolition.
Says Evans: without a national
Official list the hundreds OF clubs
can handicap as they please, and
considerable confusion may arise"
Says Sherman: II believe that
TIA ranking list as used at pres
ent Is certainly worth the additional
effort on the part of the committee,
II Is one OF the tangible ways "a
reward the efforts OF player who
has had successful season"
Says Fownes: II think Il would
be good thing 10 give up the han
dicap list II Is an extremely DIFF
ficult task To give proper ratings
and the use which is made OF these
ratings would seem to be very small
in view OF the labor expended in
compiling them"
Says Gardner: 1T seems to me
that there should be merit rating
Of the first 10 or Is amateurs. while
the rest OF those deemed eligible
can make up the body OF the list
] happened to win this years cham
pionship from a handicap of three
Many players are so close that the
difference In stroke rating is merely
arbitrary and really constitutes a
merit rating"

$40 innings he pitched this season
In 1918. when Matty led. he allowed
POI hits In 800 innings. Alec allow

In 1912 Matty allowed a hit an

~, but the best OF them couldn't
find his shoots when hit meant
a run.
Alexander's style is a good deal
like that OF Walter Johnson of the
Washington Americans, Walter sell
dom allows a hit when he can pre-
vent Il.
II Is because OF his system OF
working that Matty was able TO
last so long. BY saving his strength
in each game he was able to spread
his stamina over a 15-year period.

STIEHM LIKELY TO
COACH WISCONSIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-When word
was received here today from Lin
coin, Neb., that Coach Ewold Stiehm,
of Nebraska university, had asked
the athletic authorities nj the Corn
husker institution TO release him
from his agreement to remain an
other year, local football followers
Immediately Jumped at the conclu-
sion that Wisconsin may have made
Stiehm AZ offer The belief was sup.
ported by Stiehm's statement that a
conference institution had offered
him a position at $3.50 more year
than he gets at Lincoln. His pres
ent salary is $4,000. Stiehm is a
WISCONSIN grad. and was the best
center the Goplers ever had. In

How long will II take TO find a
man who can conquer and clip the

OF Johnny Kilbane?
That's pertinent question. mas.

John gracefully showed Abe Attell
into the has-been class and usurped
the honor which for almost a dozen
years belonged to Attell. And in
those three years only one man has
received recognition as legitimate
claimant for title contest with the
champion.
It has been admitted until recent
ly by everyone that Kilbane was in
class by himself. and that there
was no one at bis weight who even
approached him In all-around skill
and cleverness. Within the past
year George CLANCY rushed to the

There is every indication just now

The showing on the st. Louis

drift advances. Russell Collins, man
ager of the property and one of the
heaviest owners, went to Spokane yes
terday. Just before leaving he said
that the face of the drift showed con-
siderable galena of exceptionally good
grade and that the rapid improvement
that had characterized the work led
him to believe that valuable ore
shoot would soon be exposed The
face of the drift now has q depth of
about 700 feet The vein shows much
iron and decomposed quartz and the
conditions are all favorable to ore.
The portal of the tunnel is on the
same level and very near No. of the

Hercules and about 5000 feet south of
it. Mr.. Collins stated that he would
return in a few days and that ar

ONTARIO VS.. STEWART.

The case of Jonathan Bourne and

court this week, Judge John M. Flynn
of the eighth judicial district, presid-
ing Senator Bourne Of Oregon, Is
the owner of the Ontario and Ontar-
10 Fraction claims. The claims were
leased to Stanly A Easton who later
formed the Ontario Mining company,
to which he assigned the lease, which
runs until July /, 1915. The Ontario
company as a basis for the action
charges that since June l, 1914, the
Stewart company has penetrated the
Ontario ground and extracted large
quantities Of ore, valued at more than
$4,000. In a supplemental complaint
the Stewart company is charged with
extracting $4,000 worth of ore since
the first complaint was filed. Both
sides are represented by eminent le-
gal talent and many expert mining
engineers are in attendance as wit
nesses.

How State Will Be Benefited.

Commenting upon the state exhibit
as a whole, and how he proposed to
handle the work Of his department
with the view to deriving the greatest
benefit, Mr. Schwerd said; 1T will be
the aim Of the mining department at
the exposition to induce men to visit
Idaho to investigate opportunities
with the view to reviving and stimuat-
ing mining development. This VIII
not be a specimen or curio exhibit, but
will show mining on a business basis
to let the world know what Idaho has
in the way Of developed and undevel-
oped mines and what the state needs
for its further development, 1t is bet
ter to show our deficiencies so that
men will see opportunities and come
into the state and look them over,
rather than TO endeavor to make II APP
pear that we have everything we need
and are participating in the eXposi-
tion merely to display our OWE
achievements. OF course, we want 10
display these, but it must be done In
n manner and for the purpose OF draw
ing attention to the fact that the great
field of opportunity Is still open In
Idaho. This will be my line Of talk to
those who examine the mining dis
play. The exhibit will be good one
and in every respect viii reflect cred
1t upon the state, and / am convinced
that the state win receive great and
lasting benefit from it.
I'm closing up the field work, de-
sire to express my appreciation for the
uniform courtesy which has been
shown me by the mining men OF the
Coeur d'Alene district and this has
been Characteristic of my work IN
every county"
