Catching Up With
Long Jim on Golf
JAMES NJ. BARNES is not an author

4 AMES NJ. BARNES is not an author
- by training or instinct He is a
golf professional at st. Louis club, but
be has been the author of so many excep-
tional scores in competition that when he
took his niblick in hand to write book it
was certain that the fraternity of the
links would sit up and take notice.
The most difficult thing for the dub at
Che royal and ancient game who was
asked to review this volume was to keep
said volume in his possession long enough
to find out what it was all about. A
golfer across the street heard he had
copy and sneaked In while he was out
and pilfered the same. Still another
golfer heard that the pilferer had the
book, and he sneaked In and took it away
from him. And so it went until some
time had elapsed and the original pos
SCISSOR managed to sneak in on steenth
golfer and steal back his own
The beautiful thing about authorship for
Long Jim, as the tall golfer is known in
his world, was that he could achieve it
with his favorite weapons and without
concocting a plot The title, Picture An
alysis of Golf Strokes, tells the story.
There are pictures galore, more than 300
of them, and over each every real bug will
study and worry. Many back yard will
be torn up by evening practice before this
compendium of information has run it,
course.
Long Jim doesn't pretend that his is the
only book that has ever been written about
golf, or the best one. He simply and
modestly says that it is simply an expo
sition of the game as he plays it. There
are photographs of him using about every
club and in every possible situation, from
the moment he whales out long drive
until the sinks the final putt; and enough
description with each so that he who
wishes may get lesson from the read
ing. The pictures are really remarkable
and one wonders if there aren't enough
golf fends who are also movie fans to
make a film version of the thing worth
while.
At any rate it is fairly safe to predict
that Barnes will secure larger gallery
for his pictorial play than he ever had in
actual competition-and that is no small
thing.

IRISH REPUBLIC BILL
TO Be P|GEONHOLED

After listening for two days to a
review OF the quarrel between the
north and south OF Ireland, the House
Foreign Affairs Committee is planning
to pigeonhole the Mason bill looking
toward the recognition of the Sim
Fein republic, it was learned from
the committee members last night.
They said Congress has not the
right to take steps toward recognizing
new nation before the President
acts. The Mason bill provides an
appropriation for a minister and con-
suls TO the De Valera republic.
The policy OF nop-intcrfcrence in
foreign affairs also viii he a factor
in preventing action on tho bill in the
House, Congressman Rogers of
Massachusetts said, as the Mason
measure practically amounts to
American interference in the dispute
between Great Britain and ireland,
he thinks.
This intervention should be ma dc
by the United States, Burk Cochran,
New York, Sim Fein sympathizer,
told the committee.
THE United States intervencd in
Cuba and the Irish situation falls pre-
cisely under the same conditions
which caused the United States to go
into Cuba" he said. Conditions in
Ireland are immeasurably worse than
in Cuba"

GREAT PROSPERITY

Bethlehem Steel Head Defines
Ideas on Collective Bargain
ing and Profitsharing.

One of the greatest cras of pros
-perity in the history OF the United
States was forecast last night by
Charles NJ. Schwab. chairman of the
beard OF directors of the Bethlehem
steel Corporation.
Schwab spoke as president of the
Pennsylvania Society at its annual
banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria.
Collective bargaining and profit
sharing also were declared by Schwah
az the recognition that capital must
pay labor that tho country might
realize this prosperity He indicated
that the collective bargaining he ad-
rocated meant the right of the men
employed in certain industry to
choose their own fellow-workers as
representatives TO terat with their
employers.
Dennes His Ideas.
The kind of collective bargaining
that I believe in Is the one that recog
nizcs the right of the men themselvs
r choos their own flow
rs representatives. to speak with the
company and which believes in the
obligation of the company to treat
these representatives individually and

respect to which they are Justly en.
titled.
And I believe in proht-sharing-
not the kind of profit-sharing which
consists of a mere bonus paid out OF
the total profits of the year and added
to the mans wages for the year. That

work. What / believe in is that a
man shall have direct share of the
profits derived from the particular
unit of work he himself is doing"
Advocates Worth System.
Schwab advocated system whereby
a blind calculation could be made so
tfat the management might place an
estimate of the worth of each man to
the firm. If a man does more work
and thereby brings more profits to the
business, Schwab believed the man
should receive higher pay proper
tionately-and that higher pay should
bear direct relationship to the par

FAILURE Of LEAGUE
SENDS GREY HOME
Presidents Illness Prevented
Carrying Out Mission OF
Conferences With Him.

The announced return of Viscount
Grey. British ambassador to the
limited States, to England constitutes
the closing of a second chapter of
disappointing diplomacy for that dis
ltinguished statesman.
The diplomatic handbook of tho
iState Department lists the British
! envoy as "Viscount Grey of Fsllo-
T. On special mission"
Reference to the special mission
means that Niscount Grey, who is
recognized as ono OF the foremost
British statesmen and diplomats,
came to the United States for the
lexpress purpose Of seeing and confer
ring with President Wilson. But this
he has never done since the time he
set foot on American soil.
President Became III
He arrived in this country in the
latter part of September when the
President was IN the midst Of his
transcontinental trip on behalf of the
peace treaty and the League Ct Ma
tions. The President was taken ser
iously ill several days before he was
slated to return TO Washington, and
his special train, after the remaining
speeches were Cancelled. sped across
the country directly to the capital.

rived in Washington.

1t is the unwritten law among
diplomats that when an ambassador
or minister fails on a special mission
there is usually change. This can
not of course. be construed to indi-
cate that Viscount Grey failed In hfs
mission. Indeed, the fact is, that the
basis of his mission became fall
ure even before he had an oppor-
tunity to function.
Some of the surface reasons for the
early return of viscount Grey are
that he really only came here to be
present at The same time that the
Prince of Wales visited the United
States and Washington, and that his
health will not permit an extended
stay in this country. He is at present

FREAKS IN FOOT BALL
THAT HAVE WON GAMES

Not all foot ball battles have been
won entirely on their merits. In fact
in the great collegiate game the
breaks probably have played Il more
conspicuous part than in any other
sport. CHANGING over the records, the
oldest O fall plays that were the means
of winning game appears to be the
drop-kick made at Princeton in 1911.
The kick was made in the annual
Dartmouth Princeton same-aiways
a close and hard fought struggle. In
1911 the two teams were evenly
matched and had battIed without
scoring for three-Quarters- of the is
sue. 1t began to appear as though the
game would end in a scoreless tie.
Only n short time before the close
Princeton had the ball on its own
30-yard line. Failing to gain. w.
l.. De Witt dropped back to try for a
goal from the field. A pass, q rush
and a thud and the ball sailed low and
swiftly over the Dartmouth line. The
kick looked fruitlesS. but about ten
Yards from the goal posts the ball
struck the ground and bounced over
the crosSbar. to the amaZement OF the
thousands of onlookerS.
This freak play won the game for
Princeton. Stranger still was the
fact that in game between Exeter
and Andover that same day similar
kick was made by w. Langford
brother of the Langford who was
retereeing at Princeton.

Dunn and Speaker held several con-
ferences during the world series in

in the belief that the Indians of 1920
will be a vastly superior team to that

Possible changes in the personnel

discussion at the Chicago conferences
1t is expected that the Cleveland lead

services of four or five OF their box

cided to decrease the staff and de-
velop more pitchers who can be de-

BIG OFFER is MADE FOR
THE BOSTON AMERICANS

BOSTON. Mass. October 22.-Fol-
lowing close upon the emphatic an
nouncement by Everett Scott, pre-
mler shortstop of the Boston Red SoN
base ball club, that he would not
under any consideration remain an
other season with the local club. Bos-
ton was treated to another base ball
sensation late yesterday afternoon
when it became known that Repre-
sentative James A. Gallivan of South
Boston had made an offer for the
purchase of the club. an offer so at
tractive. it is stated, that it could
not very we'll be refused without a
great deal of hesitation. or, at least,
consideration.
The rumor was confirmed by KEEP
resentative Gallivan late last night
who admitted that he had made an
offer to Owner Harry II. FraZee for
the club and that he expected to re-
ceive his reply some time today. He
refused, however. to state the amount
offered, believing such statement
from him might embarrass Mr.
Frazee Every effort to reach MI
Frazee was fruitless, he evidently
having disappeared.
The situation is being watched
with intense interest, as there is
an almost unanimous feeling here
that a change of ownership would
greatly benefit the club in many
