feated Jack Burgess of Chevy Chase

amateurs. Joined the players at the
tenth hole. Anderson was home on the
eighteenth hole with a drive and half
iron shot, but spoiled the hole when ne

the club at which Robert White, presi-

views on the matter of the reinstate-
rnent of Ouimet. Sullivan and Tewks-
bury in the amateur ranks talked with
Irving ]. French. secretary of the
woodland Club in New York, yester-
day. says the New York Tribune.
French took occasion to correct an i'm
preston that seemed to prevail that
the Woodland Club would lead the
fight for Ouimet by bringing the mat
ter before the meeting
"As matter of fact" said Mr.
French. "the club has no authority TO
do-ihis, and neither has IL any assur-
ance that the Ouimet case Will be dis
cussed We hope. however. that the
subject of reinstating the ek-open and
ex-amateur champion viii be brought
up-and also that the new amateur rule
will be voted upon. but we will not take
the initiative"

letic Association in the 5th Regiment

usually is largely attended by local
college high school and club athletes.
The delay in announcing the date has
been due to the failure of the 5th Regi-

Barry, second baseman. and Heinie
Wagner. former shortstop and now
coach of the team, are in line. wagner
has been Carrigans first lieutenant for
several years and is credited with nav
ing the proper managerial tempera-
ment." Barry is one of the smartest
base bali men now playing the game.
He has been quoted as saying he never
would accept the management OF
club and continue in the lineup be-
cause the responsibilities of such a
position would prevent him from uoing
himself justice as Il player however,
if the team leadership is offered to him
he probably will not only accept it, but
continue in his role of second baseman
as well. Wagner as manager ana
Barry as field captain. which he now is,
would prove a splendid combination for
the Red SoX.

A saxon-French Cigar Lighter.

Several years ago the then new min
lister of France, M. KlotZ, decided to
impose a tax Of two francs. or 40
cents American money, on each cigar
lighter used In that country. The rea-
son for this Is that the sale Of matches
In France is in the hands of the gov
eminent monopoly and the portable
lighters interfered with the sale OF the
matches. On the other hand the
matches have become SO bad ia quality
that they are subject Of complaint and
ridicule. The law has become unpopu-
lar and there is an effort now being
made to have the order rescinded. Not
withstanding the fact that an in
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago, 1t has caused q tendency to in
crease smoking and that is proven by
the many smokers to be seen in public
places and thoroughfares.

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required In New
York Banks, but They Are
More Methodical.

There is at present no woman Off
Ger of New York city bank, and only
one In New Jersey, but if the war
lasts long enough 1t may well be, as
it is In Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. Al
ready, 1t is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war, last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
full, said an official of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, SO, although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount of work. the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds of
dollars which had to be paid to the
sclearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost $50 or $50 week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has 60
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these 60 women are taking the
places of only SO men, which shows
the difference in rapidity, but the Off
cial of the bank pointed out that it
would be serious problem when the
men came home for their jobs.
"Our hope is" he said, 'that the
business will be big enough then to
accommodate them ALL"
