Evans-Ouimet
Match Planned
For New York
Famous Golfers May Meet
Here After Special
Contest in Boston
By Grantland Rice

There is good chance that New
York will soon draw the opportunity
to see one Of the big golf matches OF
the year.
The proposed meeting is between
Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet, two
OF the most sensational performers
along the way Of the ancient green this
country has ever known.
Evans Is 20 meet Ouimet IN Boston
on October q. which is Saturday week.
Ouimet is now with his regiment, but
leave has been granted him for the,
match. as the proceeds are TO be en-
ployed to purchase athletic equipment
for his troop.
Chick states that he is willing to
plav another match in New York or
the Sunday following for army equip
ment for Red Cross purposes. At
effort will be made 70 have Ouimets
leave extended in order 20 have MIN
meet Evans. Jerry Trayers would Do
the logical New York entry, but Tray.
ers has been too busy 20 play any soii
of late.
A seventy-two-hole match between
Evans and Ouimet, thirty-slx holes IN
Boston and thirty-siX holes IN Ne"
York, would be worthy climax 70 an
interesting golhng year. In addition
to it's public interest II would also
draw at least 81 900 for athletic equip
ment for the men IN khaki. There -
an urgent call from many thousands OF
men in the service for bats, gloves,
footballs, baseballs, boxing gloves and
other sportive paraphernalia. These
things are badly needed, not only FOR
recreation, but icr training. a Oulmet-
Evans match for Baltusrol or Siwanoy
would draw several thousand spectators
and contribute a tidy sum 20 the fund.
Golf has contributed far more than
any other sport 70 Red Cross and other
war relief purposes. Over $4,000 was
raised in cne-day programme. Thou
sands have been added 20 this amount,
where many have put the total around
s20o COO since May But only few
goling weeks now remain for eXhibi-
ton purposes, Sc il is TO be hoped this
Evans Ouimet match for New York can
be arranged.
The Boston match, according 10 a
telegram from Chick. has already been
definitely established. John G. Ander-
son is now trying 20 arrange for Oui-
NETS appearance in New York.

For a long time I have suffered with

agony. I was in a very nervous condi-
ton and could not sleep at night; my
liver was affected which made me very
dizzy, and l had bad headaches. l was
constipated and took all kinds of medi-
cines in the hope Of finding something
TO relieve me. Nothing helped me until
I started to take your Plant Juice. One
bottle relieved me so much that I con-
tinued to take it. and can now truthfully
say that have no more trouble of any
kind. I am able to eat all of my meals
and enjoy them; 1 sleep well and my

Such words as these and those of many
others which have been printed, have

given Plant Juice fair trial and have
been benefited thereby.

TELLS OF EMPLOYEES STAND
Railroad Brotherhood President Claims
That Men Are Unit Against All
Compulsory Arbitration.

Railroad employees in the United
States and Canada are Il unit against
compulsory arbitration; they hold that
until some more satisfactory method
of adjusting disputes IS reached, strikes
and lockuutS are preferable To any
system Of surrender 10 injustice. The
plain fact of the matter i that both
investigation and arbitration have been
killed in the house of their friends.
The greatest railroad wage movements
in this country were settled either by
mediation or arbitration and it would
hardly be fair to assert that fear
prompted these arrangements for set
Element, but rather that common sense
and good Judgment, applied TO every
phase of the controversy, were reSpOn-
peaceable method OF adjustment. AS
long as 1t lasted. which was only "a
long as the neutral arbitrator were
practical men, falr application of the
plan of voluntary agreement 10 submit
disputed questions for decision To an
llaIdTlldl bOdTl Nllu iIlc uHltISldIli-
ing that the terms of settlement would
be accepted for Il given period, was the
most satisfactory method of settling
controversies without strike or lock-
out. These agreements of honor in
the beginning were observed by both
sides and gave greater satisfaction
than undoubtedly would have resulted
-if either forced employment or unen-
forced service had been demanded I'M
der penalty by decision of court
working under a compulsory rule.
Railroad controversies were settled
in 1910 by experienced men and there
was little disposition to question the
intent of the award by either the rail-
roads or their employees, for the rea-
son that the arbitratOrs selected un-
derstOOd exactly what their decisions
meant, and If the cOntending parties
did not, there was no heSitancy on the
arbitratOr'S part In stating very con-
CiSely what their rulings We're Intended
to mean, and to what they were meant
TO apply.-From an address by w. q.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen.

PLANS FOR AFRICAN LINES
Dark Continent Already Has Founda.
ton for Great Expansion Of Its
Railroads.

Africa already has the foundation
for one of the cOmpletest and most
evenly distributed railroad systems OF
all of the great continents of the
world, Lewis X. Freeman writes in
World Outlook. Save Europe, the
railroads of all the other great geo.
graphical divisions are largely To-
Gated in certain highly developed
areas-as in the United States and
southern Canada in North America
while other regions are left blank, and
promise TO remain so Indefinitely. In
Africa, vigorous pushing on any con-
siderable proportion of the projects
that were in contemplation before the
war will give more continental lines
both latitudInal and longitudinal
than either South America or Asia
will be able to boast at the same date.
Also, in the imminent completion OF
the Cape-tO-CalrO project-a consum-
nation which will be considerably &C.
CELEBRATED by certain work done during
the war-it will have a line traverSing
its entire length from north to south
long before any continent but Europe
can lay claim TO such railroad. The
ape-to-Cairo-with metals all the
way and steamer transport on Nile and
the lakes elimirated-mlght easily
bring Capetown within 10 or II days
of London and Paris, and a day or two
could certainly be cut from even this
schedule by a line the French plan
