Fownes Wins
FightAgaiil1st
Dread Cancer

Pittsburgh, Nov. 24.-His great
est match, with a dread malady as
his opponent, has resulted in ayic-
tory for William G. Fownes, Jr.,
former amateur champion and the
captain of the American golf team
which invaded Great Britain. It
was a grim encounter he waged,
but the stakes were big, and with
the same indomitable fighting
spirit which characterizes his play
in golf he battIed against the
dreaded cancer. The result OF the
encounter was to determine If he
would live or die. He has scored
a big triumph and is assured by
his physicians that all danger has
passed.
The news brought rejoicing In
the ranks Of local golfers. A gloom
had pervaded here since 1t became
known that Mr.. Fownes was suf-
fering from cancer. In fact, so
deep was the feeling that all Of
the Pittsburghers entered in the
national championship tourna-
ment at St. Louis withdrew
While the tournament was in pro-
gress in St. Louis Mr.. Fownes was
engaged in his greatest of all tour
naments, the one in which his life
was at stake. He was at Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, re-
ceiving treatment from eminent
cancer specialists. The outcome
of the operation was watched with
keen interest. They were more

Few Apply For
Auto Licenses

With applications for new auto
mobile license plates up to the
present time less than 20 per cent
of the applicants filed for the same
period year ago. in spite of the
Increased number OF automobiles
Ia the state, serious congestion
IN the automobile registration de-
partment during the closing days
OF the year is foreseen by Secre-
tary of State Kozer. Motorists de-
laying until the last moment in
applying for their new license
plates are likely TO be confronted
with the necessity OF keeping their
cars In storage for a few weeks
pending action on their appliea-
tions, Kozer declares, explaining
that 1t will be a physical impossi-
bility to give prompt action to the
thousands OF applications which
are bound TO pour in on the de-
partment in the last week or two
OF the present year unless an in
crease is experienced Immediately
IN advance applications.
Applications on file to date for
1893 license plates number only
5000 as compared with 1900 filed
mp to this time a year ago for the
1921 plates.

UNION OF
N ATIONS
PLANNED
Movement Afoot to
Create United States
of Central Europe Is
Report.

Paris, Nov. "a. Political events
are slowly moving toward the crea-
tIon Of United States Of Central
Europe" which eventually will
end warfare in the Balkans and
restore peace to all Europe.
This is the hopeful view ex-
pressed by Edward Benes, minister
or foreign affairs OF Czecho-Slova-
kia and quite generally recognized
as one Of the most far-seeing dip
lomats that has emerged from the
war in Europe. Benes expresses
his opinion In an article on the fu-
ture OF Europe appearing in the
current issue Of La Revue de
Geneve.
After reviewing recent develop
Saents tending to recreate the war
spirit in Central Europe, includ-
ing the troubles In Hungary, and
paying tribute to President Hard
ing's initiative in calling the
Washington conference, Benes
turns to the aims Of the Little
Entente set up in Central Europe.
II Is this new alliance of small
powers, he believes, which must
eventually develop into the Unit
ed States OF Central Europe
which will for all time quench
Balkan war flames.
1.-THE Little Entente" he writes,
twas created not only to safeguard
ind secure the application of the
treaties OF peace, but above all to
safeguard the heritage Of the
worldwide revolution that fol-
lowed the war and overthrow mon
Rrchies and war-making dynasties.
II was founded to establish def
initely the basis OF new order OF
things and to reconstitute politic-
ally, economically and socially the
Central Europe of the future.
Not a Military Body.
"The Little Entente is neither a
military enterprise nor a political
1embination. 1t Is the expression
VI the constructive forces which
lre at work in Central Europe; II
Is the instrument Of collabora-
Hon offered to a world which is
reconstructing itself. That is why
the presence of Hapsburg on the
throne Of Hungary is absolutely in
compatible with the new order
and why the temperance Of a
< Hapsburg would signify disaster
and inevitable war.
I'VE have to struggle against
formidable elements. Sometimes
they appear in the guise OF mon
archist movements for the return
OF the Hapsburgs; sometimes un-
der the bolshevik colors and some
times in the form of revolutionary,
aristocratlc and militarist move
ments.
But each day we lay new
stone on our edifice Foot by foot
we elaborate Q new system which
rests upon political, economic and
commercial treaties, which respect
the full sovereignty Of the new
states and represent the express
sion Of particular conditions in
each. On one side the feeling Is
growing that no individual can ex-
list by himself alone, and on the
other the conviction that the re-
lations between civilized states are
assured by the principle of mutual
interdependence a system which,
some day will be logically crowned
by the creation of United States
of Central Europe do not doubt
for a single instant that we shall
succeed in our task, for we are
faced by a law of historical evolu-
tion which Is inevitable"

REGRET YANKEE PLAYERS
VIOLATED LEAGUE RULES

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-Regret that
some Yankee players had violated the
rule prohibiting world series contest
ants from appearing in post season ex-
hibition games was expressed in a
statement issued tonight BY Colonel
Jacob Rupert and Col. II. L. Huston
of the New York Americans. Assert
ing that the rule had been violated so
defiantly that Baseball Commissioner
Lands had no alternative but to meet
the situation firmly. the statement con-
tinues:
This rule appears to be unjust in
many respects, but as long as it ex-
lists it should be obeyed. The players
made the mistake in not petitioning for
modification Of the rule"

OUTDOORS ACT
FOR FLORIDA FAIR
Splendid Amusement Features Including
Races, Have Been Booked for
State Exposition.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 1.-THE
amusement features at the Florida State
Fair and Exposition, which will be held
in Jacksonville, November IL to 10, will
undoubtedly be a most powerful incentive
to bring the fair visitor back for an
other look.
The management realizes that a state
fair Is no greater than its amusement
features. and with this idea in mind it
has arranged most attractive program
OF events for the 1921 show
What is expected to prove the piece de
resistance is the harness races which
win be held on the half mile track, now
rapidly nearing completion. The race
track plant is being built at cost OF
$4,000 and will be one OF the most com
plete in the country. The grand stand
and bleachers win seat nearly 1000
people.
President w. F. coachman. and all
officers and directors OF the fair, stress
the fact that the track il being bufIt
purely for the entertainment of State
Fair crowds. and not gambiing-thIs will
not be permitted on the grounds. It Is
to be conducted by a driving club as
strictly fair feature in line with the
policy pursued by all successful fairs in
the country.
Automobile races. auto polo, athletic
events, open air acts. fireworks. pageants
are some OF the other entertainment
features planned.
While the amusement program is to be
a strong card. this does not mean that
the management is overlooking the edu-
oational side OF the fair, which. likewise.
is destined to act new high water
mark in the history of southern EXPOSE
lions.
