Ford Now in Open
AS Senate Candidate;
Says Son Would Fight
{ Specidl Dispatch to The Tribune


DETROIT, Sept. 7.-Contrary to ex-
pectations, Henry Ford is to become an
active candidate for the United States
Senate. He said to-day he appreciated
the great responsibility to the people
Of Michigan and would do what he law
fully could do to be elected
''lf ! am elected to the Senate I shall
so to Washington to give the President
all the support within my power to
help bring this war to such as end as
will give permanent peace to the world,
and, | believe, infinite glory to the
United States" Mr. Ford said.
"About my son Edsc. Full respon-
sibility for his absence from the firing
line in France rests with me- he con-
tinued. ole has wanted to go from
the day we declared war. and he wants
to now. But ! also say that when the
duly authorized authority says his ser
vices arc more needed in the army than
here in these industries he will be
found at the front fighting. and Will
not be found sticking his spurs into a
mahogany desk at Washington. He has
lad more than a dozen opportunities
to do the latter
"Now about the flag. The spiritual
meaning of that flag to me is sacred.
That is what ] was discussing when
some rootcr for preparedness came
here and opened the subject of the
flag How can you be against prepared
ness with that flag flying over your
plant" he asked. How do you know
that we shall not have to hoist the
flag Of all nations when this war is
over?' l replied, referring to the
project for an international league for
the enforcement of peace. I did not re
gard the conversation as an interview.
Neither did he, apparently, since he
departed to publish that which he de-
sired and not that which I had said.
when | saw what he had put out
the contemplate nature Of his action
caused me to ignore it. l can't scrap
with such smalIness. so said nothing"

Oldest Golf Club
Is Humble

The Oldest golf club in the
land has its habitat at Water
town, Mass. 1t is the Midiron
Club. Its course is laid out on
a private lawn, and the total
distance thereof is 179 yards.
There are five holes, to witt
Architects Angle" 123 feet;
"Junkpile," 6s feet; "The Cot
tonfeh," 80 feet: "Barrister's
Bog" "a feet; "Akron," 6S feet.
The course record is 23. Walks,
shubbery, bumpy ground, a
hedge and children are the haz-
ards. The cups are made of
empty cans, mostly tomato. The
trophy is made of an abandoned
phosphorus can, with a brass
name plate, and has for a base
a cigar box long since denuded
of cigars. There are six mem
bers, and their clubhouse is the
apartment house in which they
live and belonging to which is
the lawn whereon is the course.

PENN WILL STAGE
BIG RELAY Event

No time is being lost by the Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania in making
arrangements for the annual relay
carnival which will be held next
spring. on April IS and 26. Although
formal entry blanks have not been
prepared. various colleges and univer-
stiles are being solicited informally
for entries, to the end that the 1919
carnival may be one OF the most i'm
portant of the series.
1t has been proposed to send iavi-
tations to Oxford and Cambridge to
send teams this year. but 1t is under
stood that this plan has been drop
ped because neither of the two Eng
li5h universities has returned TO a
normal basis, and they do not expect
to for at least year. However, with
entries from Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell. and the Western colleges,
Pennsylvania should be able to hold
a meet next spring that will measure
up in every way with the best it held
in the days before the war.

TAKING OFF WEIGHT
T. HURTS RING STARS

Benny Leonard expects soon to re-
ceive- his discharge from a training
camp As soon as he does, Benny in
tends going on the road, taking on
as many boys as possible and reduc-
ing his weight to the lightweight
limit
At present the lightweight cham
pion scales above the 133 mark.
Work in camp has put pounds on the
title holder, and he cannot defend the
title at his present weight
| II Benny intends going through
with his program, it will mean
weakening himself physically and
handicapping his chances in the
ring. It is easy enough to take on
weight, in most cases, but IT takes
ten times as long to get rid of 1t.
Benny will make a mistake IL he
tries to cling to the lightweight
class, providing 1t is difficult for him
to take of the added pounds. He
lad better go into the welter and
middleweight classes, where he should
have little difficulty annexing titles.
Several boxers have killed them
selves trying to keep their places in
certain classes. Joe Cans drained
his system to such an extent trying
to make 133 pounds for Battling Nell
son at Goldfield that he contracted
tuberculosis and died as a result
Willie Meehan, the bulky giant
killer, was a bantam king out West.
When Willie grew too heavy for his
class, he simply graduated into the
next, and so on until at present time
he Is one of the best heavies in the
land. Willie never tried to take Off
weight to retain his right to fight in
any certain class.

GOLF CONTRIBUTES
MUCH TOREDCROSS

Although little has been heard OF
the Red Cross prize medal competi-
tions in golf since the plan was first
talked OF, clubs throughout the coun-
try have not been idle. for at the
present time there is total of $44,-
$50 from entrance fees for weekend
events. The medals, which were sup
piled by the Red Cross, were distrib-
utcd by the United States Golf Asso-
citation to more than a hundred clubs
in the United States.
Even though most OF the clubs in
the North have closed, so far as COM
petitive events are concerned, the
idea is to continue these tournaments
wherever golf is played during the
winter.
To the Deal Golf Club goes the
credit OF raising the largest amount.
$4,000. The Inwood Country Club
contributed $4,000. Scarsdale $2,425.
and the Sharon Golf Club, Sharon,
