GUILFORD-WRIGHT
WIN GOLF MATCH

Boston, NOV. 1.-FranciS Ouimet, for
mer national open and amateur cham
pfon golfer, who is doing his bit for
the United States in a double capac-
ity, had to yield yesterday, paired
with Frank McNamara, the profess
sional golfer, In a SO, hole match at
the Woodland Golf club for the ath-
let1c fund at Camp Devens Fitted
against Jesse p. Gui1ford and Fred J.
Wright, the State and Western junior
champion, Olimet and MeNanara
were defeated. 8 and 4.
Ouimet is q. private in the National
Army at Camp Devens and McNa-
mara is a corporal. McNamara has
not had many chances to play the
royal and ancient game since he pun
ON the khaki. Yesterday his game In
dicated that. he was far from being
at his best. In fact he was Of httle
use to his more famous partner, since
the best he couud do was to save one
hole in the morning round, the six
teenth, which he succeeded In halv-
Ing, and another half In the after
noon.
McNamara did not win a single
hole. He was approximately "a for
the morning round and about 80 for
the afternoon. Ouimet's medal score
YVES the best of all four. He played
the first dS holes in rs and 78 for Gull
ford and 80 for Wright, and the SEQ
ond Is in Is to 81 for Gudlford and
Wright.
Notwithstanding the fact Ouimet
virtually had to play against the best
ball of his opponents, Guilford and
Wright had a lead of only 1 up at the
end of the first eighteen. Wright
was Of little aid to Guilford for the
first nine holes, but he improved.
Ouimet played particularly good golf
at the eighteenth hole both in the
morning and afternoon. Each round
he made the hole in 2. In the morn
ing he ran down thirty foot putt
for the 3, and in the afternoon he
was dead to the pin on his iron tee
shot. The cards follow:

Following a plea from "Pi'' Way
that the annual football game between
Yale and Harvard be played this fall,
the Daily News OF Yale University
explains Yale's athletic position. It
tells of the training of the students
IN military tactics, and calls the sac
rifice of sports a preparation for the
greater game of War.
There is no doubt but that it is a
sacrifice. Tom, Dick or Harry may
go without eating for week, and ne
will he making a sacrifice, too. But
the question isis the sacrifice called
for? We still maintain our position,
as set for In these columns yesterday.
About nineteen men have already
been placed at the helm of the Car
dinals for next season, any one OF
whom could probably battle his way
through 154 games, or lao, as the case
may be. But the fans have signed
the nineteen. Branch hickey hasn't
even wet his pen yet.
Yesterday we stated that today
W'elsh's status in the boxing world
would be established to a certain eX-
tent. It isn't, and we apololize most
abjectly. We should have known bet
ter. A little foresight, and we would
have readily sensed the a1ibi. Our
prediction was most objectionable,
but we assure the crime will not be
committed again-not regarding Fred

to Seize Interned Ships.
, Rio de Janeiro, Oct. pa state
of war exists between Brazil ano
Germany. This Republic, through It's
Parliament, yesterday took up the
gauntlet flung in its face by the i'm.
perial German government.
"Our patience is exhausted; they
want war, let them have It," Such
| was the substance Of the message
addressed to the Parliament yester-
day by DR.. Wenceslac Braz, and the
nations representatives were quick
to act in that spirit today.
The first step of IA will be the
seizure of all German ships informed
in Brazilian ports and their em-
ployment as carriers of food an!
supplies for the allies. Actual mill
tary cooperation with America and
the allies by Brazil's well-prepared
land and sea forces is expected 20
follow shortly.
brazil's course throughout has
been analogous with that OF the
United States. Public and official in
dignation and the resolve to declare
came to a head as d result CT
the torpedoing of the Brazilian
steamship Macau in the Bay Of Bis
cav. the fourth Brazilian snip to be
sent to the bottom by the Teuton
submarines with the aggravatlng
circumstances Of the arrest OF the
Macau's captain.
Brazil was the first of the larger
South American republics to folio"
he lead Of the United States. The
Rio de Janciro government broke re-
with Berlin on April 10. Not
only the Presidents message yes
.crday. hut every address in the
course Of toIay's debate preceding
thn war declaration was marked by
emphasis on the point that the war
has been deliberately thrust upon
this republi, and that Brazl!s ats
tudc is a defensive one, !. ncing IN
compatible with the country's honor
to remain passive.

Justice Harvey dissented from the
decision of the other three justices
of the court. Justice Spencer wrote
the decision, it being concurred in
by Justices Meyer and Larry.
The supreme court held that UNI
der the present Indiana constitution,
Which defines voters as "male cltl-
zens," the legislature did not have
the authority to confer the right OF
franchise on women, as it attempted
to do when in session in 1917. The
court held the question before it to
be constitutional only, and did not
take up the contentious Of the in
terests attacking the law that to
permit women to vote would cause
great additional expense and much
confusion.
The suit was filed several months
ago in a Marien county court by w.

result in cancerous growths in that

Clean food, coupled with food at
normal temperatures, might go a
long way in removing n of the
first causes of cancer, Dr.. Mayo said
and subsequent speakers agreed
in this.
Sir Berkeley Moynihan, of Leeds,
