THE MODEST JEW.


been making some Investigations re-
Gently through Jewish periodicals and
otherwise to determine, as far as
practicable, the extent of Jewish ac-
tivities. | nave absolutely no preju-
dice against the Jew in so far as he
is willing to be Just an American
citizen and not elaine special immuni-
ties and privileges by virtue Of his
being what he considers of the
ELECT people" Let's summon as a
witness one of the most scholarly
Jews in America. Surely he will not
bear false testimony against his own
brethren:
"A feeling of being the elect peo-
pie has no doubt produced a particu-
larism and exclusiveness, con-
tempt for outsiders, that has badly
affected Jewish character" The
above significant statement was made
by the distinguished Jewish linguist,
Dr. Nathaniel Schmidt, in recent
issue of the Jewish Daily News in
the course of an article in which he
deplores the attempts to explain the
causes Of any prejudice that may eX-
list against the Jews.
A still more interesting study is
found in an article in the September
issue of the Atlantic Monthly, by
Agnes Reppelier the brilliant Pen
nsylvania essayist The following
are a few extracts:
eff Cicero lowered his voice when
he spoke Of the Jews fearing the
enmity Of this strong clannish people,
the American, who is far more en-
joying Cicero's prestige, must be
doubly cautious lest he gives offense.
Yet if there is an immigrant who
owes us everything, it is the Jew.
Even our spasmotic and utterly tu-
tile efforts to restrict immigration
always leaves him a loop-hole Of es-
cape because he controls the National
Liberal immigration League
sis it because the Jew has received
from us so much and given us so lit
tie, that his masterfulness affronts
our sense of decency {" Attention is
called to several recent Developments
in the progress of Jewish imperti-
nence::'' First, that the Jewish
Tribune-the strongest Jewish pub
lication-boasts of the fact that the
Associated Press has been made to
feel that the words "Jew' and HE
brew" must never be used in cOnnec-
ton with criminals. Call Greek
pickpocket a Greek, an Italian muir
derer an Italian, but We may not call
a Jewish procurer a Jew"
Second, That the Jewish anti
Defamation League boasts that it
has taken the first and most import
ant step in excluding the Merchant
of Venice from the list of require
ments laid down by the Collegiate
Entrance Requirements Board.
Good night Shylock! Suppose
the writer suggests, all our foreign
citizens were as sensitive as the
Hebrews.
The activities Of this clannish peo-
pie in the frank case is enough to
convince any one that there should
be some limit to Jewish interference.
We have clearly seen how the Jew
can control and muzzle the Press of
America, and yet, his aggressions
have by no means reached their pur-
posed limit (The Jewish press
boasts of it's activities" in arousing
the public conscience as they term it,
in the Frank case)
The next step is the preparation
being made to unload in our midst
countless nordes of their unfortunate
brethren from Europe at the close Of
the war

AS regards the half iron-shot. which
more than any other IL the stroke that
distinguishes the very good golfer from
the ordinarily good one, ! should say
that Mr.. Evans has no equal among
American amateurs. He hits the ball
with that incisiveness which means so
much: he keeps the swing compact; and
he makes the ball stop quickly on
alighting. 1t is possible that the pro-
fessional is prone to be too faithful in
his respect for what he calls orthodoxy.
and that the methods of Mr.. Ouimet
and Mr.. Travers are quite as effective
as those of Mr.. Evans. Even so, 1t is
the style of the last named that appeals
to me as being bound to triumph in the
end.
That the United States Golf Associa-
ton must know a great deal better than
leading players under its jurisdiction l
realize to the full. | have set down
these remarks purely from the point of
view Of student of methods, divorced
entirely from considerations as to who
wins competitions and who suffers de-
feat in such events
Truly is the work Of a handicapping
committee verv difficult. and one is
duly appreciativc of the circumstance
that it has to Judge by hard facts
rather than by the most plausible of
fancies. Handicapping at golf is crowd
ed with anomalies: 1t is an essential
part of the games constitution, but
there seems to be little chance of its
ever being placed on wholly satisfac-
tory basis. professional hears ac-
counts of many matches contested by
the members of the club to which he is
attached. and incidentally of q thousand
other rounds. and so far as l have been
able to Judge, the system that gives the
greatest measure OF satisfaction is that
under which the handicaps are allotted
for stroke rounds and in match play.
The man with the shorter allowance
gives his rival three-quarters of the
difference between their stroke-play y
handicaps.
After all, 1t is founded on n sound
premise. Figures are said to be capa-

ports in condition.
The suspended player called up
Manager Griffith over the long dis
tance phone yesterday telling him
that he was ready to play. The Old

The return of Morgan will give
Douglas Neff a chance to regain his

of stroke rounds his scores surely may
be accepted in most cases as useful
evidence of his form. In medal play
the inferior golfer is calculated to need
longer start than in match play, for
the simple reason that he is more ike
ly than his superior to suffer a bau
hole. When he loses a hole in the match
game it matters nothing how many
strokes he takes to it; he is no worse
off for cXpcnding four shots in a BUNK
er than for missing an eighteen-incn
putt Tor a half. But in medal play
every stroke counts against him: con-
sequently II is only reasonable that
there should be a diminution of his
allowance in a match.
In England during the last Few
years, attempts have been made to pop
ing the full difference OF stroke-play
handcaps. Wherever the scheme has
been tried It has been voted a doubtfuI
success. and 1t has not grown greatly
in favor.
In considering this question the prln-
ciple adopted by the Royal and Ancient
Club has to be viewed by itself. The
Royal and Ancient certainly do observe
the plan of giving and receiving the
whole margin OF difference between
cial list OF allowances for every matcn
play tournament. They have no stanG-
ing list of handicaps. such as nearly
all other clubs possess; the explanation
is that they never hold stroke cou-
petition under handicap.
One of the little points that sometimes

Ever see such a day as yesterday for
producing hits for the major leaguers?
There were not so many runs made,
either. but the young men and old had
their fails ready and walloped the
old horsehide for keeps. In passing, it
might be mentioned that "Gavvy" Cra-
vath. of the Phils. annexed his eleventh
home run, and that in a double bill in
Chicago the recalcitrant Heine Zimmer-
man got six hits in ten trips against
Cooper, Councilman, and Adams, who
were pitching for the Pirates.
Just glance over these figures. The
Giants and Dodgers amassed thirty-four
hits between them in the double bill,
breaking even. The Braves and Phils
collected thirty-two safeties of the
pitchers in their bargain matinee. in
which thev broke even. The Cubs and
Pirates got thirty-siX hits in their
double-header. In the six games played
there were l04 hits put on the books.
In the American League the Griffmen
and Yankees got 80 hits during the
afternoon. In a single battle Detroit
and Chicago got % hits in their game

Browns and Indians found a total OF y
marks for the day were broken after
the Red SoX-Athletic contest, in which
Al hits were made by the lads piloted
by Managers Mack and Carrigan. In
seven games l24 hits were banged off the
A. L. hurlers.
The Giants and Yankees are mixing it
up at the Polo Grounds today, but not
in championship battle. The contest is
being played for charity.
Wild Bill Donovan and John McGraw
have promised to place their regular
lineup in the field, while veteran
pitchers will be on the mound. Christy
Mathewson, along with Rube M"r1uard,
may divide the box work for the
Giants, while Jack Warhop and Ray
Fisher probably will twirl for Dono-
vans men.

best of the college pitchers, went
through a creditable game for his
former coach and manager Branch
Hickey in ting the Indians by 8
