RAILROADS CUT SERVICE
nv Associated Pressl

MILAN, Italy. - Tie freight car
famine is being mace subject Of pro-
test and investigation BY the Milan
Chamber of Commerce., as much OF
Italy's merchandise freight originates
in this section Because of the lack
of coal and in order To accommodate
military needs, the state railway is
refusing such freight, has reduced its
passenger traffic by half or TO 10000
miles, and has further discontinued
free passes or reduced rate tickets
except to commercial travellers. While
the state railway possesses 100000
freight cars, it has ordered 5000 new
.ones To fill the gap made by the lack
of Austrian freight cars. Formerly,
in the heavy freight season, when
extra cars were needed to transport
the grape crop from the south to the
north of Italy, for the purpose Of max
ing wine, additional cars were borrow
ed from Austria.

STRIKE AGAINST WOMEN

ROME, Italy.-In an effort to pre-
vent the employment of women the
male conductors and motor men of the
municipal street cars of Rome recent
ly went on strike. 1t has also been
stated that the strikers hoped by the

street car system and demanded that
the school for women conductors and
motormen be discontinued. The de-
mand was refused, the strike was call
ed, but put down within day by the

LONDON, Eng. The prince OF

PROSPECTS NOT
TOO Bright At
SUPERBA CAMP

The Brooklyn club of the National
League, champion of the circuit pre-
sided over by John X. Tener. ap-
proaches the difficulties of a new sea-
son in a very wabbIy and uncertain
condition. Unless Charles H. Ebbets
or some of his ball players weaken,
the Dodgers will present a strange
front when they take the field on the
opening de-.
The Dodgers are far from cham
pionshfp timber this year. compared
with the array of talent that will be
thrown into the field by other clubs.
They would have a hard time keeping
the race against Giants, Phillies and
Braves, even with their full strength,
out in the open. The punch that car
ried them into the stretch last year
is lacking this spring, for it doesn't
carry sufficient power. H..

On first base the Dodgers will have
Jake Daubert, unless the Dodger star
shows up in such bad health that he
can't play ball His contract, forced
from Ebbets during the troublous
days of the Federal League, has an
other year to run at substantial fig
Ilre, and he has little to worry about
for the future. His health has been
decidedly bad of late, however, and

George. Cutshaw, demon second base
man who jumbled up the worlds series
for the Dodgers, probably will keep
his station If he decides to sign con-
tract At last reports he was holding
out and had decided to quit the game.
Fred Merkle is to be tried out at
shortstop He has done we'll in near
ly every other POSITION and may sup-
plant Ivan Olson and the various 9th
er shortstoppers who have been given
chances. =..'...
Third base isn't so much Of prob
lem, for, the veteran Mike Mowrey
did good job last year and probably
will keep right On doing it.
Johnston Ready
Jimmy Johnston right now is the
only outfielder definitely known to
be ready to start the trip to Hot
Springs. Hi Myers, Buck Wheat and
Casey Stengel, the bulwark of attack
and defense last summer, have been
rewarded with slashes in their salar-
les. Naturally they are peeyed and
have announced there will be no sign
ing by them until the original figures
are put back. Ebbets has declared he
will make another slash if they don't
ship in the signed documents.
Otto Miller has the brunt of catch
ing thrown uron him this year through
the lack of a good running mate. Chief
Myers is rapidly approaching the
final bump in the decline. lack
Wheat, a good-looking youngster and
a brother of the famous Buck, is going
to take a shot at it, and may stick

Which is the fairer championship
test at golf-match play or medal
play? If there is one golfer in this
unprepared commonwealth of ours
who should know. it is Jerome Dun
stan Travers. Travers has won the
amateur championship at match play
on four occasions. He has won the
open championship at medal play
once, He has been over both routes.
He knows the comparative value of
each.
There is no argument here at all, -
said Jerry. THE fairer. surer test is
over the medal route. That is why I
believe our amateur championship
should be settled by q holes of medal
play, rather than by the match play
system, which is entirely too compli-
Gated, which takes entirely too long
and which isn't nearly as fair test.
The golfer who finished first in a
72,hole test would be playing better
golf than any one else. He could get
there in no other way But in our
present system of match it is easily
possible for man to win the cham
pionship and play only one or two
rounds OF high-grade golf. It is as
much matter of luck as it is a
matter Of golfing skill.
Draw Element Of Luck
Entirely too much depends upon
the draw. One man may have. an
easy road ahead and the other have a
star tn beat every day. In Detroit
Chick Evans shot IS his first round,
snd was still beaten the first day.
On the second day ! had a IS and
was dropped out. Yet Sheriff. Sher-
man went to the semi-finals without
plaNing a round under go
'T have talked to leading golfers
from the Fast. the West and the
South" continued Travers, and with
hardlv an exception they all favor
having the amateur title decided over
the medal round route There are two
reasons for this--one. that medal play
Is the better test. The other is that
the tournament will then last only
four days instead of a week.
"Whv is medal round the fairer
display? Because practically all luck
has been eliminated, and each mans
ranking depends upon his ability to
score, stroke bv stroke. This has
been proved well enough in England:
British Use Medal Play
The worlds three greatest golfers
are Warden, Braid and Taylor. No
one DISPUTES this statement, And
among them by the medal play system
they have won something like Is OF
the last 20 championships. of Great
Britain
do you know how many amateur
champions America has had in 90
years? Exactly 13. Not because we
have so many fine players, but be.
cause by match play the element OF
luck plays too big a. part"
Travers takes his stand for medal
play in spite of the fact that he is
considered better and has always done
better under match play conditions.
His victory in the open tournament at
Baltusrol was about his only medal
MAY achievement. whereas he has won
four amateur titles where match play
was the focf
