4AAA@eA eAAG AAAGN ~
In 1914 when the last French
tournament was held Edgar had the
distinction Of leading the field for the
honOrs. He Outdistanced no less a
golhng parsonage than Harry Var
don, great British pro. by eight
strokes.
Edgar has been in this country
about six months. He came to Wash
ington last month and entered the
professional tournament held at Co.
lumbia Country Club.
Mcleod Won Event.
Mcleod won the event over EN-
nett French, OF Old York road, with
a card OF 14I. French was I42, while
]. Douglas Edgar was third. Edgar
had a fair round in the morning and
another mediocre round in the after
noon for a total Of $50.
Interest centered around the Nc
Leod-French match. and when the
final counting was done IL was found
that Edgar had just nOsed out Wilfred
Reid, Of Wilmington, and Harry
Hampton, OF Virginia.
In the Western open Edgar failed
20 get in the first ten, being OUT
distanced by Mcleod, Reid, and Hamp-
ton, who played against him here.
In the last week, however, Edgar
has jumped right into the limelight
by defeating Jim Barnes and hanging
up a worlds golhng record at. Hamil-
ton. Ontario. in his win OF the Cana
dian open championship.
Started Ont Well.
Edgar started with a round Of -,
then clocked OF a Il. On the third
round Edgar turned in a card Of SO
and bettered this with a 6s on the
fourth round. he defeated Jim Barnes
by IS strokes in negotiating the
course over - holes In 2TS. Barnes
had eQualed the worlds record Of
2s3 the week before in the Western
open title hunt.
The Atlanta professional has been
here since spring. He failed in the
national open at Brae Burn and was
nothing to boast Of in the Western
open at Chicago. But at Hamilton he
startled the world.
On Sept 10 at the Engineers
Club. on Long Island, Edgar will 90
I'D with Mcleod and French as having
qualified here. The real test will
come there when thirty-two selected
golfers will play on for the Wana-
maker trophy. Edgar looks like a
good bet.

REDSFAGING
FINAL TEST
in CHICAGO
By LOUIS A poUGHER

Today, playing at Comiskey Park
Bn the South Side Of old Chi, the
Cincinnati Reds win meet their final
test in this worlds series Of 1919.
They have been tested twice already.
FIrst they have found themselves
playing In q worlds series. Second
lhey have tackled and overthrow
EDDIE Cicotte, the American Leagues
pitching ace. II the Reds can
weather the storm today in Chicago,
t would not be surprising to see
the National Leaguers triumph in
Elk games or even five straight
Until the Boston Braves set a
record BY upsetting the Maekmen in
four straight games Ga 1914, a writer
even hanardinF such a guess woLid
have bszn declared insane. Today,
however, be is allowed 20 live, for
ihe fans wen know that this feat has
been done.
As this writer remarked a couple OF
Eavu aeo. be chose the Reds 70 win
the 1919 WORLDS title largely because
of the presence Of the same psycno-
logical atmosphere os that surround
fnr the Boston Braves victory i've
years ago. The White sox. like tho
1914 Mackmen, were heavy favorites.
Ihe Reds, like the Braves, were 'Just
e bunch Of cast-ons.
Redn Have Momentum.
The Reds have shown an the mo-
mentum displayed By staHings' club
Eve years ago. they have maintained
q steady pace in their league race In
ths face OF 3eering. They have leap
"a e the front in this hnal series
when many shrewd judges OF base
bali have laughed at their preten-
rions. Today they face the difficult
task Of opening a three-Eame series
at Comiszey Park, surrounded by
thousands OF hostile fans. IL they
make good now, there win be no
doubt anywhere az 20 their gameness
o. ability.
With his present lead, Pat Moran
can now make use OF his superior
pitching strength. Eallee, a veteran,
needs a rest and warm weather, but
walter Reuther IS young, strong EB q
bull and can repeat today or tOmor-
row It is unlikely that be viii be
called upon before tomorrow,
Kid Gleason has seen his ace OF
aces Cicotte, beaten and broken He
has seen his wizard southpaw, Claud
Williams. run second. He is now
compelled to bring back Cicotte or try
his second string pitchers, Dick Kerr
% Bin James. And against the White
so1 Pat Moran can send Hod Eller, his
no-hit-no-run twirler. or Ray Fisher.

 MAKE RIG GAIN,
 GOING T0 40 CTS
New Records Achieved in Week Show Advance of Nine Cents
 In Month.

New York, Oct. 31.-The cotton
 market has shown continued activity land strength during the past week, with prices making new high rec
 ords. December contracts here have
 been as high as 37, making an ad-
 vance of nearly cents a pound from the low level of early September, while the quotation for middling cot ton in some of the southwestern
 markets has worked we'll above the
 40 cent level These advances have been due to the continued bullish character of the crop news, particu- larly with reference to the supply of the better grades and what has ap- peared to be competition for such
 grades by spot buyers in the south. During the early part of the week near months were relative firm, ow- ing to the covering to straddle and hedge shorts, but the 37-cent level for December brought out increased offerings, and later in the week the near months were relatively easy.
 Further rains have been reported
 in the belt and some very substantial reports have been received regarding their effect in the, southwest, while todav's forecast suggested possibili- ty of a freeze tonight in northern sections of the western belt.

PERSHINC DOES NOT APPROVE
 STAFF PLANS Army Commander Opposes Ex- tension of Staff Control to
 the Line. BELIEVES ARMY OF
 100000 SUFFICIENT Favors Universal Military Training to Provide Emergency Reserve,
 But on Democratic

Washington, Oct. 31.-Dissenting in many important respects from the program recommended by the war department and the general staff, General Pershing told the military committees of congress that 100000 men, raised entirely by voluntary en- listment, should be the outside fig ure considered for a standing army.
 He favored universal military training to provide an emergency re- serve, but thought general education al work should be combined with it and military discipline somewhat relaxed" so that the system would be in complete harmony with democratic institutions. He fixed six months as the training period
 The department had recommended an army of more than 5O0,000 with a system of universal training, not en- bracing the educational feature. Its recommendation for training period was three months.
 Opposes Extension Staff Control. Departing again from the express ed views of the department. the gen. eral declared army purchasing should be recognized in a new bureau apart from the quartermaster corps, and that a separate department of the government should be organized to coordinate and supervise military, naval and commercial aeronautics. He considered the department's request for 231 general staff officers exces- sive. and made clear his opposition l.x IL, zlzT l.

While the strike order was effect i've at midnight, most of the men who were following it quit work with the ending of the day shift. It was stated several days ago at union headquar- ters that midnight. October 31, was selected for the official hour merely because it marked the beginnino of November 1. on which date the Cleve- land convention of the union had de- creed that the wartime wage agree ment of the miners should terminate. At that time also it was pointed out that comnarative1v fnw mines have benn running nioht shifts.
