MRS. F. (. LETTSI WINS MATCH FROM ENGLISH PLAYER
Miss Leitch Goes Down Be- fore Super-PIaying of
 American Women
By Associated Press

Deal, N. J.. October 5.--Miss Cecil Leitch, superwoman of golf, went down to defeat today before the su- perior playing of an older woman, Mrs. r, C. Let's, Jr,, of Chicago. The score was one up. This unexpected setback for the British marvel at the annual national tournament at the Hollywood Golf club occurred on the home green and camo as one of the most thrilling and tense climaxes in the history of womens sport.
 For the English woman, who holds the British. French and Canadian championships. 1t meant the failure of a life ambition--to become real worlds champion by annexing the American crown. For the American woman it meant the attainment ot something that no other woman ot her nationality has ever achieved in championship competition and that the American champion, Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta, Ga, has twice failed to accomplish.
 Losing the first three holes and picking up at one of them and be- Ing two down at the turn. the Chi cago woman, who is a former west ern woman's champion, gave one ot the most remarkable exhibitions Of grit ever seen in womens national competition. Although outdriven by the British champion, Mrs. Let's by

Abe Kabakoff, Memphis Box CT, InvadeS Local Ring
 Monday Night
By MAXWELL ALLEN

Stanley Meiehan is working like a Trojan these days to get ready for his tilt with Abe Kabakoff of Mem phis. This tilt will tako place Mon day night at the E. A. C.
 Meighau is showing some headwork iu working hard for the meeting with the Memphis boy. 8 kabakoff is said to be a terror when it comes to punching, Fl has a powerful wallop in either ha L. and aside from being q terrific offensive man, he is also said to possess Q defense that pro tects him well.
 Meighan Is working out every day at the B. A. C, gym. and he should go into the ring in even better condition than he was when he met Freddie Boorde.
 Stan ought to land more punches Monday than he landed against Boorde. provided the Memphis boy does not get too rough and land lucky one. Freddie Boorde had 0 big advantage in reach on Meighan. and had it not been for the boring In and hard work of the short individual. there might have been different ending to the whole affair. Kabakoff is a little taller than Meighan. but he Is not as lanky as Boorde. so it would not surprise those who saw the last fracas to see the Birmingham en- try step in and crack Kabakoff one on the jaw for the count
 While still youngster, Meighan has had lot of experience and knows much about the manly art of landing a haymaker and getting away and if he continues to show the form that he showed in battling Freddie Boorde. 1t will not be very long before he will be gunning for top-notchers.
 Tommy Tompkins has made no definite announcement concerning the preliminary bill for Monday nights card. but he intimated that he has several good matches up his sleeve. so Mondays card should be arhum- mer.

THE BUDGET

1t is too early to announce any opinion regard
ing the national budget system inaugurated by
President Harding and worked out under the su-
pervison of General Charles c. Dawes. A good
deal will depend upon the attitude of congress
Will the legislative branch accept the budget, sub
ject only to such alterations as is imperatively
essary; or will it use the document presented by the
president as a mere tentative basis for its appro
priations? TO accomplish any genuine good re-
Suits the new system will have to be accepted in
spirit as well as in principle" and its findings
adopted by congress.
1t can not be expected. however, that congress
men will abdicate their constitutional function of
controlling expenditures and appropriations. They
and not the bureau of the budget" are response
bic to the people for the carrying on of the public
service and the assessment of taxes. All that can
be asked of them is that they give due considera-
ton to the figures presented to them and vote
their approval where the facts justify it.
The experience of many governments, national
as well as local, shows the value of the budget
principles, and it is being worked out under as
favorable conditions in this country as could ever
be expected Therefore, we feel justified in hoping
that it will constitute distinct advance over the
old method, and result in a more economical use
of he public funds. If so. we are ready to accord
the full need of credit to the Harding adminsra-
ton for successfully carrying out an aawhich
the Democrats have, in the main. favored for many
years.
