TRAVERS TO ALLOW MRS. GAVIN
HALF A STROKE A HOLE IN UNIQUE
MATCH FOR BENEFIT OF RED CROSS
Similar Match Here Between Norman Maxwell or

BY PETER PUTTER

W1AY back in 1910 Harold H. Hilton.
W the most famous of the amateur golf
ers Of Great Britain, and Miss Cecile Leitch,
the best OF the women players of that
country. played a seventy-two hole match
over the Walton Heath and Sunningdale
courses. Hilton allowed Miss Leitch half
stroke a hole and was beaten by Q up
and to play, although at tho end of
thirty-siS holes no was up on his fair
opponent
There has been q lot OF talk. OF matches
between men and women on the same
basis, but they have never como to any,
thing. But such a match will be played
some time this month over the Englewood
and Van Cortlandt Park courses between
Jerome D. Travers. four times the ANA
teur champion. and Mrs. W. A Gavin. tho
Metropolitan champion and runner-up TO
our own Mrs. Clarence II. Vanderbeck. in
the national championship in 1915.
Will Allow Her Half a Stroke
Travers will allow her nine strokes in
each eighteen holes and the match will be
played for the Red Cross. Mrs. Gavin has
played several of the best courses in the
Metropolitan district in fewer than eighty
strokes. so there is every indication that
the match will be worth witnessing and
that = tremendous crowd will follow this
unique match
Grantland Rico in commenting on this
match has this to say;
Mrs. Gavin Is one Of tho leading women
players Of the world. a star Of first magni-
tude. She has played Piping Rock in
seventy-nine strokes Baltusrol in eighty-one
and other hard courses in the low eightia,
1t can be seen from this, II she is on her
game, what a task Travers will have in
yielding nine strokes

But Coatesville had not religion

ration between righteousness and
loyalty to law lies a deep peril of our
modern times. The Jews observed
their temple ritual, but they kept
heather wives. Ezra understood
that his mission was not to be sugar,
to make himself agreeable to people,
but to be salt, to purify and preserve
society So he drove the terrors of
the law into their consciousness un-

ing through its greatest crisis. The
extraordinary unsettling of Ameri.

some persons that war is disturber
They are blind to the larger inter

This crisis of the Gewish exiles
consisted of the three deportations

BY Desert Ways
The thought of travel in the desert
appeals to every lover of the pic
turesque and the adventurous. Just
as a caravan of camels on the sky
line is thing of rare beauty and
stateliness, but common and unpleas-
ant when seen close at hand, so these
desert Journeyings are made attrac-
tive by distance. The exiles could
tell you that the camels are infested
with vermin. and that there is no
beast of burden which so racks its
rider. These same Jews who had left
comfortable homes in Babylonia,
could tell of the choking misery of
dust and sand storms; of the dirt,
barrenness. and discomfort of cara
van life. They could paint with
many a graphic gesture the torrid
heat of the desert at this time of the
year.
To the spectator they were doubt
less as interesting as the caravans
which one may see to-day. l have
watched the Persian pilgrims travel
across this sMesopotaiman desert: some
on camel back, some of the children
in panniers swung at each side of the
beasts of burden; some on donkeys,
the rich on horses, some on foot. The
speed of the journey is the camel s
pace-about three miles an hour.

when a young man who might have
become q great poet, a great preach
er or a great reformer, deteriorates
into a mere millionaire. Jerusalem
had insured it's prosperity at the cost
of its message.
Is there any worse calamity in life
than to lose ones "gleam?" Thous-
ands of high-souled young men and
women are thus gradually becoming
blind and deaf to the ideals which
had once been as life and death to
them. They have, perhaps, mastered
fortune, but they have lost their
souls loftiest possession. Even so
these returned Jews had found ii
good business to make alliances with
the heather. What a descent from
the first sincerity of their purposes,
when they had refused help from
their contaminated brethren in build
ing. AS it is so often the case with
the practical man." his short-sight-
edness leads him to steps which
really defeat his purpose. Had these
Jews scanned a larger horizon, they
would have recalled that they were
voluntarily adopting the method
which an ancient Assyrian conqueror
had used to destroy the national in
tegrity of the Jews. They were TAX
ing heather wives and thus losing

the church is in the world, which is
her privilege; but when the world
gets into the church, that is her
peril.
Cleaning Up the Town.

quent reviving. Jerusalem, which
within the memory of living men
had witnessed a great religious cele-
bration, was now sorely in need of
another spiritual experience.
She was in such bad case that it
took all the courage of this man of
books to meet the emergency. Ezra
had a grip upon the law. That was
his characteristic. He was not the
sort of evangelist whose stock in
trade is sentimental stories and shop
worn pious phraseology. Emotional
appeals would not do for Jerusalem,
so Ezra laid down the law, the stern

were decorated with blue shells and
musical bells. A devouu Jew seeing
the cavalcade set out from Babylon,
would watch 1t from the heights, just
as l watched an expedition set out
across the desert from old Asshur.
Did their imaginations foretell the
testing times they were to have by
the way, and the regretful thoughts
they would send back to the fat land
of Babylonia?
Literary( But Businesslike
1t is the visionary who sways the
minds of kings. and it was Ezra, the
scribe, who secured the favor of Ar
taXerXes for the return for some
seventeen hundred exiles to Jerusa-
lem. He won the good will of the
government and secured immunity
from taxation by the way, and the
promise of help from local officials
as well. In gifts the pilgrims bore
with them some aggregating more
than two million dollars in Ameri-
can currency.
That best business methods are
thoroughly consistent with high
idealism, was shown by Ezra's con-
duct with respect to this treasure
He had every shekel of it carefully
weighed at the beginning of the
journey, the responsibility accurately
distributed, and then he made an
exact reckoning at the end. That
sort of system should characterize
every religious and philanthropic or
ganization. Every churchman in a
position of trust should demand
regular and general auditing of his
accounts. The model business ad-
ministration of every community
might most properly be that of the
best religious organization.
The other side of EZra's character
came out when the questions of ask
ing for guard arose. He had repre-
sented Jehovah as the ruler of ma
tions, able TO lift up and to cast
down. His fine sense of fitness OF
things, and his zeal for the honor OF
Jehovah, would not permit him to
ask for an escort from the king. He
took all proper precautions, and then
trusted the Lord, which is true cour-
age.
A Reform Gone Wrong.
1t seems but a little time before
that the main body of exiles had EN-
tered Jerusalem with mingled grief
and publications the sound of rejoic-
ing over the laying of the founda-
tions of the temple seemed still to be
lingering in the air. The ecstacy of
that occasion was fairly delirious,
but, 10! Ezra finds little trace of it
all. There has been a huge slump
to practical" measures. A tragedy
has slowly been enacted like unto
that witnessed in our own times,

Now that 1t has grown so notably
the fashion for literary men to enter
the sphere of practical politics and
reform, 1t is especially suggestive TO
study the career of a more distin-
3uished literary man than they all,
who lived half a century before the
beginning of the Christian era. This
famous author bore the name of
Ezra, and he might have lived the
congenial life of a bookish recluse
amid the prosperity of Babylon. In
stead, he chose the distasteful hurly-
burly of administrative work, sacri-
ffcing himself for what he consid-
cred the greatest public cause of his
time.
Ezra is one of the giant figures of
this romantic period which has bulk
ed so largely in Jewish and Chris
tian history. and which of late years
the spade has been digging up from
: beneath the arid soil of Mesopo-
tamia. Ezra came to a place of pow
er by sheer native force. He had a
vtsionary's dreams, and an execu-
tive's practical abilities. His admin
istrative capacity transformed his
dreams into political realities.
A Nation in the Furnace
"All ships look stately except the
one upon which you ride" says the
proverb. 1t is hard to perceive the
importance and meaning of ones

days of the present, some persons

Jews who lived through the period

Recall

San Francisco, April PA direct re-
quest that Attorney General U. S. Webb
confess error by the state and ask the
state supreme court to order a new trial
for Thomas J. Mooney, preparedness
parade bomb defendant, was drafted to-
day by Superior Judge Franklin Grif-
fin, who presided at MONEYS trial.
This action followed the refusal OF
District Attorney Charles Fiekert TO
join in such action until after the coun-
ty grand jury had completed an in
vestigation of charges that the evi-
denee against Mooney was FRAMED. +"
Meanwhile Police Judge Brady today
insisted on his right to hear evidence in
the case of F. c, Oman, charged with
/" framing evidence for the state
against Mooney and over the objections
of the district attorney and Oman 5
counsel declined to hold Oman to ans
wer to the superior court without a
hearing. He announced that his hearing
would be resumed this afternoon.
Another sensational development in
the maze of events surrounding the ease
today was the issuance of a statement
by Fickert addressed "to the public. .
He denounced Mooney in unmeasured
terms and recited in detail the prepared
ness parade crime and the events lead
ing up to and causing Moneys arrest
Fremont Older, editor of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin was also denounced hot
ly and Eickert asserted that even with
out the testimony of OMAN, star wit
ness for the state, the proof of Moon
ey's guilt was overwhelming.
In a sentence devoted to "the char.
acters of Mooney and Billings, Fickert
quoted from alleged writings of Moon
ey asserting that he had called the Am
erican fnag ga striped rag" and the
liberty bell "junk," had lauded "di.
rect action" and the rule of the mob
and had denounced religion and the
church.
Following issuance of this statement
came reports from Sacramento that Ger.
tain members of the legislature were
discussing the possibility of the recall
of Fickert.
Attorney General Webb was silent to-
day regarding his plans in the present
situation except to say that it would
be several days before he would decide
whether to appoint a special prosecutor
IN the Mooney and Oman cases.
