Victory of Chicagoan in Pro

By Raw McCarthv

Two new golf rivals have come to
the fore. They are j. Douglas Edgar
OF the Druid Hills Club of Atlanta, Ga.
and Jock Hutchinson, of the Glen View
N!un, OF Chicago. and recent winner
OF the Western open championship
and of the national professional title

round and there proceeded to take the
measure of his English rival. Jock was
pushed hard for his laurels, but he
was equal to the occasion and came
from behind with a wonderful rally to

After the match he suggested that
despite the victory of Hutchison he
might still be the better man. The
suggestion was taken up and became
common gossip. Somebody made the
motion a purse Of $1,000 be staked for

PRODUCTIVE LABOR
 SCARCE IN GERMANY

BERLIN, July 6 (by Associated Press) "Germany's greatest trouble at the present time is her decline in production" said Carl Friedrich von S1emens at the annual shareholders meeting of the Siemans & Halske electrical concern. "No where in Ger many is the imperative need for in- creasing productive labor sufficiently appraised" he continued. Far too many people are engaged in non-pro- ductive work; the number of officials in state and private enterprises is excessive. All statistics based on the mark standard show large increases, but that standard is a false one. Ex- pressed in tons, production has de. clined largely"
 Herr von Siemens said that the re- cent improvement in the German ex- change, however gratifying in itself, had had the effect of restricting ex- ports. In many ranges of articles manufactured by the company, domes- tic prices had already exceeded the market prices. Even countries with bad exchange like Germany were already almost completely barred to them.
 There was a worldwide demand for all classes of goods, said Herr von Seimens, but the high cost of produc- tion was killing business, and to a great extent these high prices were caused by Reproduction.

CORDOvA WINS EASILY FROM
 RADIO TEAM

Jimmy Chambers pitched a nO-hit no-run game Sunday against the Radio team and Cordova won the feature event of the big Fourth ot July celebration hands down by a score of II to 0. Chambers was going so we'll and there was so little chance of any possibility of scoring that the visitors conceded defeat after they had batted their half of the seventh inning.
 The players posed for their pic lures before the game and George Dooley and his Boy Scout drum corps enlivened things to start the ball roll. ing. Dr. Council and w. J. McDon- aid of the forest service were chosen as umpires, but Dr. Council got a hurry-up sos early in the game and had to relinquish control over the ball tossers to one of the visitors from the Radio station.
 A big crowd witnessed the game, practically the entire grandstand be. ing occupied by ladies, the men talk ing points of vantage from the side. lines
 The grounds had been put in good shape with the lines we'll marked off and new netting in front of the grand stand protected the fair fans from possible danger.
 Cordova got the jump in the first inning, scoring six runs before the side was retired, and after that the locals did not exert themselves to- ward run getting.
 Outside of the pitching of Cham bers, the only real spectacular hap penings of the game was a fielding catch by Luder of the visitors, who grabbed smashing hit from Cham bers' bat after a hard run and dou- bled Steel out at second base Later in the game Watson and Koch figured in a similar double play, but it was not as spectacular as that of the wis itors. The score:
