ton will hold Its annual most
ing tomorrow night In Pbila-
delphla. New officers will be elected
and the n~dvisabillty Of holding the
1918 championships will be consid-
ored-only considered. For a time
there was growing sentiment out
West in favor OF staging the tourna-
ments this season under modified
conditions. This sentiment won't md
many supporters az the annual con-
fab. especially since the action OF the
Western Association last week, when
IL was determined to run on any
championships in the corn belt Sec
ton during the period OF the war.
The Western people will hold sew
eral patriotic tournaments in order TO
interest In the game. as
suggested by the Federal Govern
ment. 1t Is a cinch the u. 3. q. A.
will do exactly this season what II
did in 1917, confine It's energies to
holding patriotic tournaments, the
revenue to be devoted to some war
relief fund.

As n curtain raiser for the Bel
leair tournament eason there was a
professional four-ball match between
the Smith brothers and Bob Mac
Donald and Jock Hutchinson. Mac
Donald and Hutchinson won, due
chiefly to the tremendous driving OF
Macdonald and the uncertain work
Of Macdonald Smith, whose incon-
sistont playing the last few years
has greatly puzzled many golfers.
Young Mac comes from a family
OF champions. Before he was twenty
he save promise % developing into
a stronger player than Alex. his "a =
nous brother. Macdonald had all
the shots and a style that vas tho
marvel Of every one. At Scarbor-
ouEh in 1918 tho youngest Smith es-
tablished what at that time was a
new worlds record for 70 holes. This
sort Of golf easily CAV him tho MET

a little careless. though later In tho
year he and Alex defeated Vardon
and Ray in a special match at
Wykagyl the only tournament the
two I Engllshmen lost in their
tour Of the United States.
Brother Alex explained Brother
MacDonald's failure TO win all the
championships IN sight TO the fact
that he won success too early.

I'D you ever notice that when a
- fighter alibis his poor showing.
after a fight. by saying tina he broke
his hand he ALWAYS adds that Re
broke II In an early round. II he is
entirely without conscience nc says
IL was in the first round. II he Is
only clipping the edges OF the truth
he makes II a few rounds later. but
Etill when the tight was young and
anybody's property. Jess willard,
you know. said he failed To knock out
Frank Moran because he busted bis
hand In tho fourth round. But he
did some right hand hitting after
that. and never lost his smile.
TT HE only regular, n~ever-give-in
i fighter l ever knew who could
crack a hand and show nc signs OF It
in the ring was Sol Fltzsimmons.
Bob cracked his hands 30 often that
there was no novelty In the sensation
at all.

simmons broke the first two knucklos
OF his right hand by hitting Jenri"s

bones and drove the knuckles back

after the hgh'. And what did daunt-
less old Bob Go? Why. he kept right
on hitting with that right hand. The
only concession he made WAS that he

 GOLD OUTPUT
Portland, Ore, Man Will In- troduce Resolution Calling on Government to Stabilize Metal

PORTLAND, Ore, Sejt. 1S.-A reso- ution urging the government to take steps that are necessary to maintain fhe gold production of the United States at it's pre-war volume will be presented to the American Bankers association convention in Chicago next week by E. G. Crawford, president of the Ors gOh Bankers exchange.
 Gold production in this country has decreased $l1 .GO0,O00 this year and las been decreasing for three years, due to the increased cost of labor and supplies and the fact that price of gold, fixed many years ago at $20.67 per ounce. has never been changed. according to members of the Oregon association. Gold mines throughout the west have been shut down, it is claimed because it does not pay to run them at the fixed price for gold.
 MT. Crawford, who is first vice pres ident of the United States National bank here. was to leave tonight for Chicago. He expected to point out on the floor of the convention that gold production in the United States has decreased from $1O1, ,O00,90O in 1915 to S73,0OO,00O this year, and that the production of gold must be kept up in order to maintain the credits of the coIntry

Mir Palmer acted immediately after the senate had passed a resolution introduced by Senator Jcnes os Wash ington. calling upon the property GUS todian to show the proofs on which he made his speech in Harrisburg. Pa. last Saturday describing the efforts of brewers to control a newspaDer in prO-German interest. to exert their influence upon congress. and. finally. on which he charged that the brew ing interests had advanced the money for the purchase of newspaper to
 right the battle of the liquor traffic under the shSdow of the dome Of the capitol"
 Mir. Brisbane in published state ments in the Times alreacy has stated that he bought the paper with money loaned by C. w Feighenspan. a brew CT and pdesident of the Federal Trust company of Newark. N. J. Mir. Bris bane also has published a letter from Feigenspan defining an arrangement by which the loan was syndicated co fifteen brewers. NIr. Palmer includes in his disclosure this letter and also documents To support his assertion that the loan was made in a way to conceal its course and purpose.
 Included in Mir. Palmer's papers are copies of letters written by Alexan der Konta, evidently a German agent. to Capt. Hans Tauscher. nOtOriously assoC oCiated with German propaganda in the United States and to Dr. Bernard Dernburg. Germany's chief propa ganda agent. upon the prospects Ot buying some great American news paper. Mir. Palmer connects these with his declaration that the iaflu- ence which the brewers attempt Co exert was thoroughly in the interest of Germany.
 Mir. Palmer tonight declined to say where his office obtained the dOcu- mCuts. He added that they spoke for themselves.
 First among the documents is lei ter from Feigenspan to Robert Grain. whose office is in the building which houses Mir Brisbane's Times. detail ing the distribution of the S407 800 loan. It was divided this way;

 DRIVE BULeARs IN MACEDONIA

UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY ASSO GATED PRESS. Thursday saw both the British and French armies in Pi cardy materially develop their plans for the eventual enveloping of St Quentine and Cambrai The British made further gains around Gouzea court and east of Epehy, while the French striking southeast of St. Quen- tin, brought the southern part of their nipper into a better position for the squeeze against the town, which daily seemingly is growing nearer.
 More than 10000 prisoners and in excess of sixty large guns fell into the hands of the British during the big operation begun by Field Marshal Haig Wednesday northwest of St. Quentin In addition, extremely heavy casualties were inflicted on the Ger mans in the frontal attacks and dur ing violent counter attacks made by them in an endeavor to recoup their losses of ground So badly was, the enemy hammered during this fight ing that he did not attempt on Thurs day to stir from his trenches, except AlNaA LBEng anu dOuLNlCOuAA anu Io give istless battle on isolated sectors to the south.
 Northeast of Soissons the Germans are counter attacking vigorously against the allied forces holding strategic positions which are threaten ing the high ground along the Chemin Des Danes, which the enemy hopes to save as a temporary haven of ref uge in the event of a forced retire ment from the west and the south. Notwithstanding the strength Of the Onslaughts, the French everywhere repulsed the enemy.
 Likewise south of the Aisne, in the region of Courland, the Germans en- deavored to beat back the French, but again met with defeat, the French ar tillery cutting the attacking waves to pieces.
 On the Lorraine front there has been considerable mutual artillery smelling, but no infantry engagements. A raid attempted by the Germans against General Pershing's men north west of Pont-A-Mousson came 60 naught
 In the Macedonian theater the Bull garians are still in full flight before the Serbians, who have captured nu- merous towns, taken large numbers of prisoners and great quantities of war stores. Following the usual tactics of the Teutonic allies the enemy is Ge- vastating the country he traverses, leaving it a wilderness through the use of the torch and explosives.
 In European Russia the Bolsheviki and the Germans for the moment iseem to have the upper hand over the CZechO-Slovaks, who have been com pelled to eyacuate Volsk, Simbirsk and Kazan. The success of the enemy forces is attributed to a lack of am- intuition and other supplies by the CzechO-SlOvaks. In Trancaucasia the British force which recently went to the relief of the besieged Armenians in Baku have been compelled to with draw into North Persia in the face of the large Turkish forces and the inef.
