KNIGHT FAVOR|TE
IN MERTON TOURNEY
Whitemarsh Golfer Brings High
Money in Pool; Marston Is
Chosen Second
HAVE STARTED MATCH PLAY

Fred w. Knight, star golfer of the
Whitemarsh Country Club, who surely
started something when he made his
marathon golf tour this season, has
been made the favorite in the invita-
tion tournament of the Merton Cricket
Club, which now is holding sway on
the Merton links.
Perhaps it was winning the medal
for low score in the qualifying round
yesterday that made Knight appear to
stand above the other players. And
then perhaps it wasn't! Luther Love
kin, who purchased the right to
knights chances in the pool, formed
at the Merton Club last evening, de-
clined to state his reason for wanting
Knight, but the fact remains, never
theless, that Knight was made the
favorite.
Fine Putting :-.
Yesterday Knight showed some very
fine approaching and putting in win
ming the low score in the qualifying.
No, Knight didn't win the medal. He
didn't win the medal because there
wasn't any medal to be won. The low
score prize was a silver cigarette case.
That's all there was; there wasn't any
more!
Today the first round of match play
took place. The golfers in the first
and second sixteens were out bright and
early, while those in the third six
teen didn't begin to make their appear
ance until an hour after the fortunate
ones.
Risley VS.. Crosswell
Promptly at O:45 Maurice Risley,
hero of many Atlantic City engage
ments, stepped to the first tee and took
an awful swing at the pill with the
intentions of making the hole in the
wonderful score of one. But even
though he made great try the ball
didn't 60 all the way. and he was
forced to make another stroke after
Donald Cresswell, a seventeen year -old
lad, had driven off.

Groh Close Second

NHEUSEL takes the honors, what
1tl ever they are, for whaling in the
present series with the Reds. He has
hit Moran pitchers for total OF seven
safetics out of twelve tries. Helne
Groh, the best third baseman in civiil-
zation. is close second.
Heine, who, by way of identification,
is brother of Lew Groh, the AS
utility third sacker, also has collected
seven hits against Phil twirlers, but
he is charged with thirteen times Mt
bat. Lena Blackburne has helped HIM
self to FIVE hits out of twelve opportu-
mites off Red legged fingers.
However, biting the ball has availed
the Phils nothing In their series with
the pace settlers. Moran has taken
three straight and with Eller and Ring
to work in today's double header against
Rixey and Hogg or Cheney, it looks like
clean sweep for the Cincinnati club
bers.
Magee Strengthens Outfeld
n,HE Moran outfeld is greatly
l. strengthened by the regular play
ing of Sherwood Magee. The last time
the Reds were here Rube Bressler, a
pitcher, was holding down left field, and
weakness in that sector stuck out like
sore finger. Bressler is fairly good
outficlder. but he didn't fit in with
Roush and Neale.
Five years ago Magee was slated for
the minors by the hammer and anvil
fans. His arm was thrown out and
his legs had given way, but Sherry still
is sticking around and playing smart
as well as speedy ball. His whip isn't
the best in the league, but baserunners
still have q wholesome respect for his
arm and flies that are beyond his reach
in left are very, very few.
Sherry is clouting the ball at his old
time clip, but he hits them when they re
needed. He didn't get hit yesterday,
but he waited for walks twice and
scored q pair of runs.

his only appearance against the right

Twenty hits have rung from his bat
since he started on his present tear.
He has had forty one official trips to

A "HOG" SQUEAL
Heard in Endeavor to Dis
credit Sale of Potatoes
BY James Murphy.

Evidently somebody doesn't like the
fight that is being waged on the high
food prices in Hamilton. On Satur-
day night a week ago, with the con-
sent of the city authorities, Mr.. James
Murphy sold about 200 bushels Of po-
tatoes to many Of our citizens at a
cost of $500 per bushel, thereby saw
ing the purchasers from so to go cents
on every bushel bought. Many were
there trying to buy after the supply
ran out.
Mr. Murphy must have trampled on
the soft corn of one of the hogs"
dealing in foodstuffs when he put on
this sale, judging from the squeal
that was emitted Any way, some one
signing himself customer" addressed
a letter to one Of the evening papers
in which he charges that he was short
weighted in the bushel Of potatoes he
purchased. He didn't have the nerve
to sign his name The whole thing is
looked upon as a farce and one to
discredit the good deed of Mr.. Murphy
in an endeavor to help boost the game
Of the writer of the letter.
In his letter, Customer" doesn't
mention the name of Mr. Murphy, but
lays the whole blame on the commit
tee appointed by Mayor Smith to fight
the food pirates Why would this COM
mittee or Mr. Murphy stoop to such
petty larceny steps as charged by
customer" Il isn't to be thought
of. We are willing to bet our heads
against the hole in doughnut that
the fellow who wrote this letter is one
of the hog" profiteers who has been
gouging the public right along and
is sore that some one is interfering
with his graft 1t is farce
The public and The Press has the
fullest confidence in all that the com
mittee and Mr.. Murphy are doing in
their efforts to hammer down the
prices of food and urge that they
continue doing SO, only in a stronger
name

Workers Two Plans
Have No Connection

Washington Officials of the rail-
road shop men and railroad brother
hoods have signed statement that
their solution of the railroad problem
embodied in the Sims bill, and their
demand for wage increases are sep
arate movements and are in no way
related.
They have found it necessary to as
sure excitable editors and lawmakers
that they have never considered the
strike method to "Americanize the
railroads" The railroad workers say:
'Two distinctly separate considera-
tions now confront the people, the
wage requirements of the railroad en-
ployes and the Sims bill (embodying
the railway employees plan for reor-
ganization of the railroads).
''In the matter of wages we have
submitted an eminently just PROPOSE
ton. We have said that if we are to
continue to live as Americans should
live, and are to care for our families
as American families should be cared
for, the profteers must be restrained
or our wages increased. Every fair
minded man, and every intelligent
housewife, will recognize the reason
ableness of this request. If congress
and the president cannot meet this
request, it is still living question,
and we shall have to try to find an
other solution.
'This, however, bears in no way
upon cur sponsorship of the Sims BILL
We do hold to our conviction that
the railroad employees are in no mood
to consign themselves finally to the
autoeratic control of financial dicta~
tors, but in proposing the elimination
of capital and the tripartite director
ate, we have no purpose of intimida-
ton. We appeal to the statesman
ship of America and to the common
sense of American manhood and wom-

congress. Low cost farm lavor pro-
vided in time to sow the winter grains
means low priced food in one year.
It's up to you"
Written on the cards is this appeal:
Help save America"
The cards were the first intimation
the members of congress had that
Brooklyn is a farming community
Each congressman receives one a day
from the same source It is understood
that the originators of the propa-
ganda intend to have similar cards
come from all parts Of the United
States in an effort to intimidate con-
gress into legislating for the admis-
sion Of Chinese.
A bill is before congress providing
for the admission by percentages of
immigrants of any nationality to this
country according to the number al
ready here 1t has been figured out
that if the bill becomes a law Cali
fornia will be a japanese colony in
ten years and that in fifty years Jap
anese will be in the majority in the
United States. The enactment Of the
law will also wipe out the "gentlemen's
agreement" with Japan

Charleston, w Va.-Organized coal

the West Virginia Mining News, which
demands "the abolition of the closed
shop"
"Did we not send 100000 fighting
Americans to Europe last year to
make the world safe for democracy"
this editor howls. "Does not our con-
stitution guarantee every man security
in his person and property? Aye, aye,
but yonder in our national capital,
sworn to uphold the constitution and
execute the laws, is a group of men
seeking, with the administrative ma
chinery placed in their hands, by the
people of the country, to fasten un-

The editor bristles withfeathers and

to unite against trade unionism.
