Neely was unanimous. Miss McNeely.
a former national semifinaist, is rated
among the first ten women golfers of
this city and had a fine season on the
links last year. Besides her ability
as player, Miss McNeely has distinct
talent as an executive and will leave
nothing undone to promote play among
the women golfers. Her progressive
policies made her election most popu-

Dempsey and Willard
Both Had LIZ Ticket

New York, Jan. 23.-Jack Demp-
sey, heavyweight champion Of the
world, has asked that an official in
vestigation be made of the informal
charges that he was draft dodger
during the world war. The request
was made in a telegram received
today by Major A. J. Drexel Biddle,
president of the Army, Navy and
Civilian Boxing Board, which, it is
understood, will conduct the inquiry
asked in the near future.
Dempsey points out in his tele-
gram that the A. N. G. B. b.
issued professional boxers license
to him, just prior to the match
with Jess Willard. which certified
that he had clean and honorable
record as a professional boxer and
that he had the full sanction and
approval of the board. Dempsey
received license No. 2, the first card
going to Willard, who was then
champion.

A PART from any dusty statistics in
Avolying batting or fielding averages,
tbere is always an important detail to
be considered in ioofing over the
soasop's list that rarely obtains ex-
tonded mention This is the matter of
stamina.
The number of bail players who can
ro the full route for season is far
smaller than the list OF 300 hitters.
THERE is more genius and more skill
in almost any game than there is
stamina or the ability to hold The pace.
The Short List
TN the National League last year there
10 play out 135 or more games. In tile
American League there were just
fifteen.
ONLY twenty seven men in the two
major leagues were stout enough to par
take of 13J games.
But year after year down the list you
will always find four names registered at
the top of 'the Stamina Club.
These names are Eddie Collins. White
Sox; George Burns, of the Giants
Everett Scott. of the Red Sox, and Fred
I.uderus. of the Phils.
Each has played at one stretch in
more than 450 consecutive contests and
is still holding the pace.
Eddie Collins has been in baseball
twelve years, and yet last season he
took part in the 140 games allotted to
his club. Burns and Scott also rounded
out their schedules.
THE pdlue of these men TO their clubs
goes toell beyond their mere batting,
fielding and base running ability. And
largely for the reason that they are

the nations commerce satisfactorily. They claimed that savings promised by them could not be effected at once because the roads were not returned to them in the same con dition they were when taken over and because of unsolved labor dit. ficulties.
 Clifford Thorne, of Chicago, repre- senting shippers, recommended to the commission that the roads be unified for operation as they were in 191T, declaring that only in this way coult' the roads solve the existing trans portation problem.
 Mir. Thorne also argued that the rate advances asked were excessive as the carriers had not made any provision for more efficient operation or for decreases in the cost of mater ials. He also argued that the com panies set too high value on their properties and that they were capital izing land granted them by Federal and state governments without cost and asked the people to forever pay a tax on these free gifts.

ENGLISH PEOPLE
 ARE FORGED TO STRICT ECONOMY

LONDON, Aug. 1.-English people have determined upon a policy of strict economy resulting in con siderable increase in the number of bankruptcies during the last few months These failures have occur. red not only in London but also in the provinces. Business men, how ever, are confronted by the fact that the aggregate number is far below the total for pre-war years, figures for 1919 being 737 as against 2,S56 for 1914.
 While many reasons are advanced for this state of affairs, the most acceptable one in business circles is the attitude of the buying public which has decided only to purchase absolute necessities. In consequence. traders who have purchased large stocks of goods at fancy prices in anticipation of quick and handsome profits, find themselves with white elephants" on their hands and a
 
 non-buying public.
 The goods, had to be disposed of frequently at big loss.
 The recent bankruptcies include l number of demobilized men wno started business with the proceeds of their gratuity and small savings. These men, for the most part, were inexperienced in the ways of trade, when a severe test came, they were forced to close their doors.
 A woman proprietor of 2 high lass millinery shop in Bond street, explained recently that wealthy wom- en who before the war bought zen erously in such speciality shops as hers, were unable to do so now on account of the tremendous increase in the cost of living. wages for ser wants, etc These women now are only purchasing the necessities, the business woman added.

Reichstag In Ignorance

CapitulatiOn Of the CIVIL govern ment's misgivings as to what now has proved to be the mistaken pol icy of Frightfulness and the fact that the Reichstag was kept in ig- norance of the real situation, ac- ccrding to the report, caused Ger many's collapse.
 This historical blame of Ger many's poliefcal government is.' the report continues, that on the vital question of Germanys existence it allowed to happen that which in it's conviction was pernicious to the country The blame of the military leadership is that. knowing unre- stricted "U-boat warfare would in evitably entail Americas entry, it played the card.
 Appended to the majority report is document giving a marginal note in the former Emperor's hand on memorial from Admiral Won Boltzendorff, then head of the Ger. man Naval General Staff. in which the latter suggested refusal to the proposal by the American Ambas sador at Vienna that to avoid em broilment, American ships going te England should not be torpedoed The Kaiser wrote: "l agree to ~ declined. An end must be made once and for all to negotiation with America. If Wilson wants wal he can make and have it"
