No American King

Since Guilford abandoned his "heel
to heel" wallop, there is no one golfer
in America TO be crowned as the Siege
Gun or the premier swatsman.
Gardner kept pace with Guilford at
Merton and Kirkby did the same at
Brookline.
Ouimet, in friendly matches, was hit
ting a longer ball this last season than
he ever hit before, and was well up
with the long htters of the game.
Just as there is no leader among
the amateurs. so the professionals have
no one smuggling star. Jim Barnes gets
good distance. but there are others
who will drive with him. Jack Hobens
is one Of the longest. and when the
Englewood instructor is near his best
there is no one to 20 beyond him.
Charley Hall, at Birmingham. is a
mighty clouter, and for sheer distance
has few equals and no superiors
Bob Mcdonald is another rangy oper-
ator. But when one goes on through
the list there is no one certain leader
to be crowned where distance Is meas
ured by consistency as well as By
yards.
Certainly, il Mitchell can outhit
Braid and Ray, there is no one in this
country 10 compare with him. Gull
ford might have done so about three
years ago, for at the championship
held at Ekwanok he was 20 yards be-
yond any other man in the field. and
one of his carries was measured at S0S
yards.

RAYS Niblick Range


There was more wonderment ex-
pressed in this country over Rays
niblick range than over his wooden
club distance
Here is a sample: In the four-ball
match a. Baltusro Ray and Nardon
were pitted against two United States
professionals Of high rank The first
hole at Baltusrol is about 400 yards.
Two of the pros. used wood for both
the first and second shots. Vardon
used cleek from the tee and followed
with another cleek shot. Ray used a
cleek, and then, to the establishment
Of the gallery, picked out his mashie-
niblick, a spade-like affairs with a
blade as big as a barn door. No one
thought he had the slightest chance
to get home, as he was then at least
210 yards away-posslbly 220 yards.
But the ball, after rising to the edge
Of heaven. dropped on the far side of
the green-a niblick carry that most
first class golfers would be glad to
make with brassie or driver.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Desper

scription advocates, conservative
members of the senate finance com
mittee are today endeavoring to com
promise with their foes.
A general agreement has beer
reached by the Stmmons-Penrose
forces that concessions must be
made to the growing sentiment FOL
heavier war profits taxation. Tenta
tive figures range from thirty-three to
forty-five per cent as against twenty
six per cent in the original bill. Borah
Johnson forces are demanding an
eighty per cent tax.
A formidable group Of southern
democrats holds the balance of pow
er. These men object to the bills

son Of this years profits with those
of the three years before the war
claiming it would ruin cotton farmers
AS this force avowedly is conserva'
tive, the committee leaders believe
they can make enough concessions
il and trades to bring its support to the
bill.
All these battles of strategy are go
ing on today while floor debate
hinged on the proposed increased
postal taxes on newspapers and
magazines.
Every Indication is that this pro-
posal will be badly beaten--another
defeat for the committee.
Removal of the proposed three
cent first class postal rate yesterday
brought loud plants from those rear

$50 900, 900 to have been raised by

Increased War Profit Tax
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-An IN
crease Of S49S,000,OO0 in war profits
taxes was today decided on by the
senate finance committee.
An amendment to the war revenue
bill, providing for this increase Is to
be offered, probably this afternoon.
The committee made this conces-
sion to the Borah-Johnson group,
which is fighting to make swollen war
profits pay bigger share OF the ma
tons war bill
Under the proposed amendment the
total sum TO De raised .lrOH wal pr
would be S1,O60,0O0,000 as against
s5C2, 900, 900 for which the bill now pro
vides. It amounts to forty per cent
instead of the original &c per cent tax.
Chairman Simmons stated he does
not believe the amendment will be
supported by Underwood and Bank
head, leaders Of the southern insurg-
ents. Neither will it be acceptable to
the Borah-J ohnson group who want to
raise about half billion more from
war profits.
