ATIP FOR THE TRUST.-Here's
a tip for the Bell phone trust: Let
that Automatic deal ride as it is. The
Armour crowd didn't make good on
the contract. They got the city coun-
Gil and the state board of public util-
tiles, but they didn't get the attorney
general of the U. S. You know what
your agreement with Uncle Sam is.
You know you will be held to the let
ter of the agreement. The fight won't
be over if you buy the Automatic. It
will just be started. It will be to a
finish. Don't be fooled by the no
ton that loop press editorials are
the public sentiment of Chicago.
Keep off the grass. Let well enough
alone.

THE BOYS ARE BACK HOME
Yes, the boys are home again-the
soldier boys who left Illinois and
went to the Mexican border. 1t may
be YOUR boy was one Of them. If he
was, l know YOU are mighty glad
he's home again. You didn't know
when he left that he would get back
home. For all you knew our coun-
try would be plunged into war with
Mexico, and YOUR boy along with
thousands of other boys would be
hurled across the border and posi-
bly, buried in a Mexican grave. There
was a demand, you know, that we
throw an army of 100000 American
boys into Mexico to kill Mexicans
and make valuable the mines Of the
Guggenheims and the ranches Of the

Hearsts. And if YOUR boy wasn't
among the first few that went, he
might be among the many thousands
who would be on their way there
now.
Had YOUR president been, weak,
had he been a tool of Wall street, a
creature Of the RockefeIlers, Hearsts
and Guggenheims, we would be at
war with Mexico now. And YOUR
boy wouldn't be back home again.
He might be fighting to the death for
Guggenheim and Hearst.
Isn't there some reason, you
fathers and mothers of Illinois, why,
as you fold your boy to your arms,
that YOU should thank God for Will
son, the man of peace?

DCHRAN'S COMMENT

III A4A2 "A ~ N(N-rAHAAHAAAN =
TO MAYOR THOMPSON. - Say,
Bill: Back up and start all over again
on that public school thing. Throw
Jake Loeb into the discard. Appoint
new members of the school board
that Jake can't lead around by the
nose. He's made a mess Of it and
you're getting credit for it. There's
darned little credit in it. The News
and Trib are backing Jake, and they
are sore at the Teachers Federation.
You know why. Margaret Haley and
the Federation showed up that in
famous midnight school lease-and
how the Trib and News are robbing
the school children of Chicago. I be-
ieVe you're for the public schools,
Bill. So are the teachers. The great
est protection the public schools of
Chicago have today is the Teachers
Federation. They'll fight for the
public schools and the pupils. Jake
Loeb will fight for the Trib, News
and III. Manufacturers assn. Get
wise. Show the folks you've still got
some public spirit in you. You'll get
farther backing the Teachers FEEDER
alton than backing the SpOrtsmen's
club. Get these good, excellent and
superior teachers back on the job.
Appoint members of the school board
who will give them square deal.

over the fence mournfully from across the

putters' puts wouldn't putt.
The dope was entirely spilled in the an
nual invitation tourney of the Wilmington
Country Club. d, C. Corkran was supposed
to meet Ned Sawyer in the finals but a
former University of Pennsylvania crack
stepped in to spill the dope on one end
while a uhum of Sawyers was upsetting
things on the other side of the brackets.
Frank w. Dyer. Pennsylvania State
champion, and member of the Frankford
Country Club, beat Corkran easily and then
finished off the days work by winning the
finals.
This was a great surprise, inasmuch as
the State titIeholder didn't make much of
a showing at the Lynnewood Hall event.
He couldn't even qualify. His game came
right back, though, in the other State and
ate out of his hand.
Sandy McNiblick-I want to take up golf
as a regular. l have no clubs as yet and
would like to ask your advice as to the best
clubs to buy. Would you advise me to get
one of these so-called golf club sets or to
pick out my own clubs? S.P.J.
Fern Rock Pa.
Some time ago we advised the beginner to
start with only three clubs-a brasssoled
driver a mashie and putter. When he has
mastered these clubs he may add others, one
AT a time, to his kit. A cleek midiron and
niblic should be added first of all With the
addition of brasse, these seven clubs are
generally considered a set There is no use
in a beginner starting with too many clubs,
as he will find he has hard time learning
TO use all of them. S. Men.

Jack Dillon, Hoosier, rib-cracker and
giant killer" has a big job on his hands
for Thursday night, and also big oppor-
tunity to make himself the second best
fighter in the world. But to accomplish the
job and make good the opportunity Mr..
Dillon must knock sky high the ancient
argument that a good big man can beat
good little man.
The last time this theory was on trial
the bigger man upheld the argument-Jess
willard winning from Frank Moran. This
time Moran, the bigger man, meets Dillon,
ana II the smaller entry iucceeds in upset
ting the dope, well, Mr.. ]. Willard must an
swer to him. The Moran-Dillon test takes
place at Washington Park, Brooklyn, In an
examination of l 0 periods
Dillon measures feet ~ inches In
helght and will weigh 165 pounds when he
enters the ring. He will be five inches
shorter than Moran and will have to give
away 30 pounds in weight. The 1ndianap-
oils Giant Killer however, with remarkably
long arms for his size, owns a reach that
is quarter of an inch greater than Pitts
burgh Frank.
There Is plenty of ring precedent on both
sides of the big man-little man question.
Among the most notable victories of smaller
fighters over larger opponents are those in
which Joe Wolcott and Kid Lavigne were
concerned. Wolcott, the original giant
killer, knocked out any number of bigger
foes, including Joe Choynski. who was u
inches taller and weighed 90 pounds more
The squat negro stopped Choynski in seven
rounds just after the latter had held the
great Jeffries even through 20 rounds
Wolcott went along invincihly until he
met Kid Lavigne, much smaller than him
self. When the Kid knocked him out there
was general CONSERVATION in fstic ranks
of the day. Lavigne also was much smaller
than Dick Burge, the English lightweight
champion, when he took the worlds title
from the Briton.
