The final match was played over the thirty-six hole route and the Connecticut golfer had his work cut out for him. as he was down at one stage of the morning round. He regained 3 of these holes and when the pair went to luncheon he was Cnly 1 down. The quality of golf was not the best and both were frequently in the Palmetto.

 ton industries, are bringing to the in- terior high degree of prosperity, which promises to last for some time 10 come, because a long period must alapse before production catches up with consumption, even when neace comes. Both the agricultural and the industrial outlooks, so far as essen- ials are concerned, are encouraging: and our farm CTS and industrial work CTS are seemingly assured of another prosperous season. The chief draw HackS will be the almost comnIete oostponement of new enterprise; the ;toDpage of building. and the lessened demand for many luxuries. Tho spir- | of extrava gance has been sensibly moderated by a keener realization of he war and its consequences. Upon che whole, therefore, the business out ook is encouraging, although facing certain adjustments that cannot be >vaded, and certain pitfalls that will have to be skilfully passed over So far as the stock market is concerned much the same must be said. Many securities are selling at very attractive prices; but all purchases, whether for investment or speculation, should be made with particular scrutiny and confined to the better class of con- 2erns. There is a considerable short interest in this market, though good buying usually develops on all sharp declines, and the result is frequent fluctuations within comparatively mar row limits. The exigencies of war leave the market exposed to sudden 1 movements at any time.

OLIN IN NEW YORK
Big Finn to Put on Finishing Touches For Coming Bout With Wiadelx LhySZkO.

New York, Jan. 26.-John Olin, the mammoth Finn. who is to wrestle Wladek Zbyszko next Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, arrived in New York yesterday. Olin comes here in magnificent physical shape. He has worked off all his superfuous flesh and is now down to his proper weight for. this grueiling contest.
 Olin will work out publicly tomor- row afternoon at George Bothner's gymnasium to convince his army of adherents that he is in the acme of condition.
 ZbysZko is workin.c just as jealous, 1y and strenuously as the Finn, for he realizes that Olin is one of the most dangerous opponents that he could be called to face. Olin's wonderful performances in conouering Stecher and practically defe lting Alex Albert stamp him as being a wrestler of the highest class.

KILL MANY GERMANS
PERsHING's TROOPS IMPLICIT Sc
WE'RE LOSSES ON FOE.
Ground in Front of Position Held by
v. S. Men Strewn With Ger
man Dead.

With the American Army in France,
March 4.-American troops repulsed
strong German attack in the salient
north of Toul on Friday morning.
There were many American casualties,
one of the killed being a captain who
was graduated from West Point in
1917.
The raid was a complete failure.
three German prisoners remaining in
American hands.
The ground in front of the Ameri-
can trenches was strewn with Ger
man dead.
A driving wet snow was falling
when the Germans opened fire on the
American salient with every weapon
at their command. Seventy-sevens,
heavy shells, and gas shells fell in a
perfect whirlwind on the American
trenches for half an hour.
At six o'clock the barrage fire lift
ed on the trenches to the right of the
salient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward.
They came forward apparently in
tending to make big haul and
jumped into what was left of the
trenches, but there, instead of the
easy time anticipated, found the Ameri-
cans all ready for battle. Fierce
hand-to-hand fighting began.
One American captain rallied men
with rifles and machine guns and went
through the American wire entangle-
ments into No Mans Land, and there
waited for the enemy, whom he ex-
pected to be driven out by his com
rades in the trenches.
He was right, for soon groups of
the enemy started back through the
wire entanglements. The Americans
poured in a deadly fire, but unfortu-
nately the captain was killed during the
fight. He is the first member of the
1917 class at West Point to be killed.
