LUCK ON TRICKY GREENS
TODECIDE GOLF WINNER,
SAYS. JOCK HUTCHINSON
BY JOCK HUTCHINSON.

Forty or fifty anxious golfers
were hanging around the home
green Of the Columbia Country Club
yesterday wondering whether they
were going to get CHARGE to play
on Thursday and Friday in the ma
tional opeE championship.

over I cart remember that any Of
the favorites who happened to be
drawn to play the first day were
left behind. There were moments
when it looked a wee bit shaky and
I was one Of the players that felt 1t.
At the sixth hole I stood five over
fours. This meant that ! had used
thirty strokes TO cover this part Of
the distance. At this average l
would have been out In forty-five and
back in the same figure for a ninety.
But I felt positive that this could
not keep UP long. At the ninth I was
forty, which was still bad average.
I think the thing that saved my
bacon was my original idea that rs
would be the dead line. and I kept
this in mind for the remainder of
the journey. / started back with two
fours and realized thar I coull easily

Chandler Sees Brighter
DAY Dawning i'm Europe

Representative Walter M. Chandler,
OF the 10th Congressional District,
who has just returned from a two
months trip in various European coun-
tries, yesterday declared that despite
the outward appearances of poverty,
misery, commercial stagnation and in
dustrlal paralysis which still prevail,
as a consequence of the war, he found
unmlstakable signs of improvement and
believed the dawning of a better day
was at hand. He said the most hope
ful sign was in the prospect OF the
early dissolution of Bolshevism.
Representative Chandler highly
praised the work Of the American Relic {
Administration in administering to the
needs of impoverished people and feed
ing starving children. He visited manv
of the feeding stations in the central
European countries and observed cond
tions at first hand.
The signs of approaching regenera
ton are more spiritual and intellectual
than tangible and material" said Mr.
chandler. The great and hopeful sign
is the prospect of an early disappear
ance OF Bolshevism in its radical and
nideous form: Lenino, the high priest of
bolshevlsm, has announced the end of
ceremonies, and the world is saving
amen and joining in the Doxology. ! do

party now in this country, in an effort
to help the miners Of Great Britain

Mr.. Jones, who has been connected

During the strike last October in

United States sent 9365,491 tons Of
coal to England and this coal sold for
