HAROLD HILTON PROVES
TO BE COLFINC PROPHET

Some time ago. Harold II. Hilton,
the only British golfer who ever won
the American amatuer title, went
from London to witness the Oxford
University golf team in action. He
had heard so much of the prowess of
Cyril Tolley and Roger Wcthered that
he wished to observe them. Hilton
was struck by the game these stu
dents played, so much that he wrote:
"As long as we can develop such
youthful stars as Tolley and Wethered
we need not fear the American In
vasion."
He did not realize at the time that
at the very next British champion
ship seven former title holders would
be eliminated and that In the final
round none other than Toily would
be the sole survivor for Great Britain
and that he would shake Off the
American invasion after the hardest
kind Of a match at the thirty-seventh
hole.

Toss Him.

Though John Kilonis. who defeated
Joe Turner. Washington's mat vet
eran, last week at the Folly Theater,
has often sought a match with Oishi,
known as the Terrible Japanese, he
has always been disappointed. Oishi
would never agree to terms. But
tonight this pair of fast wrestlers are
to face each other in a finish bout on
the stage at the Folly Theater.
Kilonis demonstrated last week his
perfect fitness for a rough season. He

he got away with Joe Turner.

 "A truckload of non-union miners re- turning from No. mines of the Ten nessee Coal Iron and Railroad company early Friday morning was fired on by unidentified persons near No. mines beyond Pratt City. Glass windows of the truck were shot out. but no one was injured The miners and two special deputies guarding the truck returned the fire. but none of their shots took effect so far as is known

 Dr. Bruner said that penny lunches had been established in 57 of the citx's elementary schools Their object, he ob- served, is to provide substantial food at the least cost for children coming from homes where there is real necessity. Lunch rooms, therefore, have been opened in districts where, as general thing, the people are not as well to do.

ed from other mining fields. The process has usually been accomplished by union men forming bodies at a given point and marching, in some cases, on a certain camp where scabs are working. They advance on the place in group forma- ton in order to overthrow the company gunmen and guards, in the event the gunmen are plucky enough to meet them, which, it is said, seldom hap pens. They then advise the non-union workers of the in- jury they are doing by con- tinuing to work, and of how their action is traitorous to the best interests of the working class. They then invite the non-union men to cease work and leave town, a request that is said to be usually granted by the strikebreakers.

 ''The movement, it is said is strictly local in character, each camp having g no outside advice. It Is said that in each of the two camps where the strikebreakers have been expelled the action was voluntarily undertaken by the loyal union men at the camp af- fected.
