opportunity of studying the compare

stars who are destined 10 take a lead

Jones Maxwell -Adair-these names
have been heard in golf before, and
they will be heard a good bit oftener
from year to year as their experience
increases and their skill settles into
surer steadiness Of play.
Even as it is, they have accomplished
wonders. Maxwell, at nineteen, un..
known a year ago, has beaten many OF
the leading stars Of the East at Shaw
nee, Lakewood and Pinehurst. Jones
and Adair both qualified in their first
championship start, both won their
first matches, and Jones went on into
the third round against Bob Gardner.

or the three young Jones has the
soundest style. His game is no easier
and his style is no prettier to watch
than Perry Adair's, but he has greater
mower. and is therefore able TO get
greater distance with less effort.
This is the one big margin that
Jones has over Maxwell. The Phila-
delphia star gets an unusually long
bali of the tee. and also obtains fine dis
lance with his irons. He Is good long
hitter, but he gets no greater distance
than Bobby Jones, who in turn gets
his distance with far less physical ef-
fort. Maxwell, while nineteen, weighs
less than 100 pounds. He is slight TO
the point Of frailness. He is forced to
put everything he has into wallop to
get there. Jones. while only fifteen
weighs $50 pounds, is heavy-set. with
powerful wrists and hands, and appar.

WAVE SAVES OK. TAIN
OF LOST FRENCH CRUISER

PARIS. June 3O.-The sinking Of the
cruiser Kleber was attended by dra-
matte scenes and marked by excep-
tional heroism by the commander and
the individual members Of the crew.
The KIeber sighted a mine and was at
tempting to destroy 1t by gunflre when
another appeared, which the vessel hit
before it could turn aside.
When 1t became evident that the
Kleber was doomed the commander
gave the order for every one to save
himself He prepared to go down with
the ship. and a plucky bugler insisted
on standing on the bridge beside the
captain. The crew scrambled into the
boats and went overheard as the vessel
settled until the captain was almost i'm
mersed in the water. The sailors vainly
urged the captain to come into their
boat, but he declined to do so and the
bugler remained with his chief.
A freakish wave finally came to the
commanders rescue. 1t tore him and
the bugler from their posts and hurled
them into the sea. They were res
cued by a destroyer which had rushed
to the assistance OF the cruiser. The
other officers Of the Kleber showed
great GOODNESS and remained at their
posts until the last moment.

Cites Alleged Agreement.

Pending such an ascertainment of

adopted resolution whereby the
operators present agreed to sell BIZ
luminous coal at a price not higher
than So per ton. and that this obliRa-
ton should remain in force until some
such action had been taken by an au-
thorized governmental agency

this meeting and this resolution in the
newspapers may well mislead the pub
lie into believing that the council OF
national defense has either undertaken
itself TO NIX - price Of coal or to sane
tion its being liked by the coal produc-
ton committee, or that committee in
conjunction with the coal operators.

to say that the council of national de.
tense has no legal power, and claims
