those enlisted for the war who are now

Brings About Higher Efficiency.

A practical metallurgist and miner.
Ray T. Baker, director of the mint,
has seen the possibilities of bringing
uijnts and assay Offices of the west up
to a higher standard of efficiency with
benefit to the government and the
public, and with relief to the larger
and more important establishments or
the east The result has been that the
various plants were in position to
perform the extraordinary duties re-
quired of the mint service by war
exigencies.
The installation of electrical fur
naces to reduce all metals has been
one of his innovations working for
larger efficiency. Also the western
assay offices have been put in condt-
ton for larger operations, and re-
fneries have been enlarged.
At some of the offices, particularly
at Salt Lake City, where the number
of assays doubled, the increase in
activities has been notable. Samples
of ore submitted by the general land
Office and the forest service have in
creased the demand for western
facilities. Refneries also were called
upon for ear-round service.

chosen, if not more, from this city.
Delegates from this city to the

for what is coming to the city next
year, namely the open championship.
Whitemarsh bid in 1918 but lost out
as two championships had already been
awarded to Pennsylvania. At that
Whitemarsh nearly won the bet because
of its popularity.
This year. due to improvements being
put into that course, which have upset
nearly every hole, it is doubtful whether
the club will again bid.
But the open is due here, and fans
are impatient to see all the greatest
players OF the country in action here,
sight seldom seen in Philadelphia.
When the amateur was held at Merton
one of the largest galleries that ever
saw golf match turned out for the
finals.
Golfers are unanimous that it would
be q great thing for Philadelphia goli
to have the open here, but naturally the
first thing is for some club to decide
to make a bid for it.

Worlds Championship Idea Will Be Introduced by

THESE United States may send q

The possibility is thoroughly insid,

as he was stepping on today's flyers
for New York, by Samuel j. Dallas
president Of the United States Amateur
Athletic Union. He was on his way
to attend an informal meeting of the
American Olympic committee ir
Gothamville, scheduled for this aft

''There was no mention of golf on the
program the Belgians submitted to us
for the 1920 Olympics," said Mr.. Dal.
las, "but golf is one of the things
am going to bring up at the meeting
today. | am going to suggest that this
country request that golf be one Of the
international events in the mex
Olympics.
Tennis is on the schedule and there
is no reason why golf should not figure
also. If the committee takes to this
idea, the matter will probably be
brought before the U. S. G. A. at its
annual meeting January 8, with view
of paying the expenses of the team, as
will be done, I understand, in the case
Of the tennis players by the u. S. l..
r. A."
Expenses Important
Mr.. Dallas went on that he thought
the expense part of it was highly essen
tial. in view of the fact that thor
oughly representative team of golfers
could thus be sent over.
Naturally, Mr.. Dallas bad not gone
so far as to pick n team or to decide
whether amateurs, pros, and women
players would all be sent.
'"The first thing is to suggest the
event. he said, ''and If it Is acceptable
to the Belgian committee we can then
go ahead with the details. / am going
to bring the matter up today. We sent
golfers over for the Interallied meet
last July at Pershing stadium, and
there is no reason why another equally
successful tournament should not be
held. 1t would decide the worlds
championship, something that has never
been played for in the history of golf,
l believe"
In case the idea goes through, it is
likely that the play will be at La
Boulie, outside of Paris at Versailles,
lather than in Belgium. Golf does not
flourish very much in Belgium. which
is very likely the reason 1t has been
overlooked for the Olympics.

1919 PENN ELEVEN
EARNS HUGE SUM
All Athletic Deficits of 1918 Are
Wiped Out by This Years
Gridiron Receipts
BASKETBALL ALSO PAYS

Football and basketball continue to be
the leading money making sports at
the University of Pennsylvania.
A report of the athletic finances for
the year ending last September / was
given out through the University Coun-
Gil on Athletics. 1t shows that Penn
actually made profit of over S14.- :
0OO from football in the fall of 1918,
despite the influenza epidemic which
caused the authorities to close Franklin
Field for the entire month of October.
resulting in the cancellation of football
games during that period, and despite
other drawbacks which made the 1918
grldiron season away below the mark
financially.
During the academic year of 1918 10,
sports were conducted at loss of more
than S33 900, but it is believed that
TINS deficit has been wiped out by the
great returns of the 1919 football sea :
son, the most successful financial one
in the history of the University.
No official report was given out on
the season just closed, but it is be-
lieved that the profits will be in six
figures.
Footballs $4,000 profit in 1918 was
wiped out by losses in virtually every
other sport. Basketball and boxing
alone earned money.
The fixed $4,000 charges on mort
cages, rentals and sinking funds, and
upkeep Of Franklin Field, also con-
tributed to make q deficit.
The net loss on sports from Sept. j,
1918, to the same date this year was
approximately $33 900.
Basketball earned a profit of more
than $1,000 last season, mainly because
of the fine record Of the Penn five. Box
ing turned in nearly $50 on the right
side of the ledger. Otherwise the va
rious sports were maintained with
losses.
Rowing resulted in dead loss of ap-
proximately $1,000 and track, $1S36.
Baseball cost about $1,000 more than
came in at the gate.
