WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.--Aggression by
Japan and Intervention in Mexico were
held up before the convention Of the Ma
tional Civic Federation to-day IA pos
sibilties which more than anything else
demand serious consideration OF the
problem Of national defence.
Senator Phelan OF California and John
Hays Hammond referred to the unset
tied question OF Japanese immigration.
Senator Wadswor'h Of New York as
serted that although it might be neces-
sary at any moment to intervene in
" Mexico. no step has been taken TO carry
out the obligation which may be forced
on the United States.
Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison.
respectively president and secretary OF
the American Federation of Labor. were
the only speakers who seemed somewhat
reluctant to join in the general demand
for preparedness. The former declared
that any system which may be devised
must be popular and that labor must
not be called upon to bear an undue
burden.

The new club is composed. with few ex-
ceptions. of beginners who play the public
course because they cannot take up golf

Members of the club declared hotly today
that there was no intention of obtaining a

1t Is little sport to play alone day after
day and members feel that through the
new club every one will get to know the
rest.
1t is felt that If the needs of the body
are presented to the Commissioners through
representatives of the regular players at
the course the former will have a truer
and simpler way of deciding appropriate
recommendations and other problems than
would be the case IL the members acted
purely as individuals. The idea of the
club is not new one by any manner of
means since 1t Is in vogue in New York,
Chicago and nearly all other large cities
where there are municipal links.
In most of these cities the clubs are

FUTURE OF RACING
WITHOUT BETTING
STILL in DOUBT
Second Day of Meeting at
Hawthorne Draws Poorly,
Crowds Placing Wagers

CHICAGO. July 1S.--Reports of extern
sion of the present 13-day racing meet at
Hawthorne today were denied. An official
of the Illinois Jockey Club, which has the
meet in charge, said:
'If more than l3 days of racing are held
1t will not be under the supervision of the
Illinois Jockey Club. Maybe some ndi-
vidual will make the attempt, but l have
heard nothing of it."
The success of racing without boolSmat-
ing at tracks in the Middle West was still
in doubt today. While Derby day, Satur-
day, attracted 25,O0O people, Mondays at
tendance was less than 5000 A large ma
Jority of the race fans remained Gowr~o-yn
and watched their wagcrs with the hand
book men rather than see the nags at the
track.
Track betting at Hawthorne was much
more open Monday than on Saturday, and
although half a score arrests were made
the betting bars are being let down.

! agree upon the name of the worlds great.
est ball player,
1t was admitted at the start that SO far
as 1916 was concerned Iris Speaker had
been OF greater help to his club than any
other man in baseball had been to any
other team. But 1916 Is only one year. And
while the redoubtable' TristrRm of Texas
has been great before, there have been
others just as great or greater.
Down to Two Names
The argument as to the worlds greatest
ball player for the length of career gets
down Immediately to two names. One is
John Peter Wagner. The other is Tyrus
Raymond Cobb
Wagner represents the National League
in this debate; Cobb the American. And
you can find all the statistics you want to
back up the claims advanced by partisans
of both stars.
Wagnerian Claims
Here are some of the claims entered by
those who support Wagner.
1. Is the greatest shortstop baseball
ever has known in defensive play.
2. Has batted 800 or better for II out
of 10 years with a good start on goth cam
paign to make It is years
2. Has led his league at bat eight
years.
l. Has 2O.year batting average around
.34O
s. At AZ is still great shortstop, with
a batting average above $3.50.
g. Has made more hits and scored more
runs than any player in the game.
Cobb Statistics
Here are counter claims made by those
who support Cobb in the big debate:
/. Has broken all records by leading
his league nine years in succession at bat
2. Holds the record OF the game for
runs and hits made in one season.
3. Holds the league record for stolen
bases.
4. Has broken up more games, on the
average than any player who ever lived
5. Has n complete bat hg average of
$40 against Wagners mark of $40
8, Has greater yearly average OF hits
runs and stolen bases than any player in
the records of the game.

AN EVIL light has been cast on the latest
Reorganization of Philadelphia golfers, and
in many ways the infant club has been mis-
represented
The organization, started by so charter
members, composed of players at the new
public course, is purely a tentative organi-
Eation pending the approval of the Park
Commission. A committee will be ap-
pointed at the next meeting which will be
held tonight at the Adelphla, to walt on the

not meet with the approval of the COM

the body, contemplated fee of S6 payable

ity and the best welfare of the Cobbs
Creek course and its users, irrespective Of
their membership in the club as the Key
note of the new club
In q preliminary statement of those most
interested in the club, IL was said that the
members would apply for membership In the
Golf Association of Philadelphia, since 1t
was felt that in this way the golf associa-
tion could back up the public course which
It had been most instrumental in getting for
the city.
Name Changed
At the first meeting which was held on
h-Thursday, night at the Ritz-Carlton, 1t was
decided to change the name of the club to
the "Cobb's Creek Golf Club" in order that
1it might not be confused with other local
clubs.
The fee ~ras voted out, and in its place,
members will be charged possibly dollar.
The amount, which will be nominal, Will be
decided later.
It was decided to 9pen the club to every
one registered at the public course.
Tournaments will be held, 1t was decided,
on Saturdays and holidays, whenever feas-
ible and the members can enter for small
fee to cover the prizes. Those chosen to
head the new club were the ones that had
worked the hardest for it's formation. 1t
Sad pointed out to the members that their
club could not obtain membership in the
Golf Association Of Philadelphia because
of two rules.
This idea was dropped and the members
decided to go forward as purely social
organization to bring the players at Cobbs
Creek closer together and to have an or
ganized head for the ideas, suggestion and

Indians Tomorrow
The Cleveland Indians. badly crippled
owing to the absence of Guy Morton, are
due to open their second series of the
season in this city tomorrow and local
fans are extremely anxious to see whether
Fohls team looks as good as 1t did on
its first invasion. Apparently the team is
going even better, but the pitching stan
has been shot to pieces and this has been
responsible for the loss of the lead.
Ray Chapman, one of the most brilliant
young infelders in the game, will make
his first local appearance at short. When
the Indians were here before Chapman
was recovering from broken leg and Bill
Wambsganns was at short, with Turner
on third and Ivan Howard at second.
Wambsganns has replaced Howard at
second but the rest of the team is lined
up the same.

WHETHER Rube oldring will be

Grounds. The former Philadelphia
star, who came TO the Yanks three
days ago, and helped bust up ball
game on Saturday, was missing from
the right garden when the Yanks
took the field for the double bill with
Detroit yesterday.
Germany Schaefer claims there is

Rube hoes potatoes between games,
and that if Oldring missed that
there was no use in worrying about
him. The chances are that Rube
will be seen in action today, If the
