HOCKEY is MISSING LINK
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.


New York, Jan. Tall Bill Til
| den and Tiny Billy Johnston have
brought to a glorious end the greatest
year of American accomplishment in
sport in history.
As a year filled with brilliant per-
formances on home and foreign fields
was gasping its last, Americas now
famous pair of tennis Bills-Tilden
and Johnston-sent back home today
the Davies cup. next to the last world 9
sport trophy that is not resting on
| American shelves.
Only One Crown Missing.
OF all the worlds emblems of su-
periority in sport, only one is not in
America-the international polo cup,
and an able team sets out for England
after it this coming spring.
From the first of the year to the
singing of the 1920 swan song, today
Americans have swept almost su-
Worlds supremacy on the water
was achieved by a yacht. by a fish
ing schooner and by a motor boat.
World supremacy on land was wor
by team of riflemen, by a track
and field team, by swimmers, by oars
men and by tennis players.
Perhaps the most blue blooded'
victory was the Resolutes successful
defense of Americas cup over the
British yacht Shamrock ".
Won Olympic Honors.
Next in class was Americas sweep
| ing victory on track and field at the
classic Olympic games.
Tennis Joined the list of conquests
and William T. Tilden won the British
national championship and later with
the help of William NJ. Johnston
brought the classic Davis cup back to
America after an absence of eight
years.
Jack Kelly. Philadelphia, brought
the worlds sculling championship
home from the Olympic games; the
navy won the eight-oar championship
and set a. new worlds record. and the
American riflemen brought home the
championship.
The American fishing schooner
Esperanto Joined the list with a
, championship; the American swim
mers vanquished the best in the world
and the Princeton track team beat
Oxford and Cambridge.
Hockey Missing Link.
America must bow. however, to
Canada in hockey; to Britain in cross
country running and golf-the very
few international contests in which
American colors did not wave from
the top of the pole
In pugilism and wrestling, America
is almost supreme.
International sports reached their
greatest crest in 1920 and the benefits
resulting, cannot be estimated.
/ Greater yet is the prospect for 1921.
With the exception of the Olympic
games, the same events with some
notable additions will be on the card
for the new year

jurors for the prestn term of court,
after receiving statement of Solicitor
General J. B. Wall, requesting spe-
cial term of court for the trial of the
men in Jail accused of the murder of
w. T. Reed. Col. Wall stated:
The evidence in these cases being
volumnious and intricate and having
been continuously engaged in court
since the grand jury started the inves-
tigation, l don't think it proper at this
time to call the cases for trial, but |
would suggest the court to call spe-

ing these cases.

the dates of these TRIALS, it is thought
they will be held about the third Mon
day in November Judge Thomas of
.Jesup announced in court that he has

''No Turning Back
Says Trainmel's Chief
Definite Plans To Be Laid When Big
FIVE Unions Reach Cleveland

CLEVELAND, O.. October IL
There will be no turning back. We
are going ahead with our plans for
the greatest railroad strike in the
worlds history"
This was the declaration Monday
morning of w. G. Lee, president OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, as officials of the "big four'
railroad brotherhoods and of the
Switchmen's Union of North America
made plans for the conference OF
the heads of the five big unions invol-
we'd in the proposed nationwide strike
affecting all railroads and scheduled to
begin October 80 at a. m.
The hour for the beginning of the
conference Tuesday which will form
ulate plans for the conduct of the
strike depends upon the arrival of
Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers; w. S. Carter, president of the
Brotherhood of locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen; L. c. Sheppard,
president OF the Order of Railway
Conductors, and T. c. Cashen, presi-
dent of the Switchmen's Union from
Chicago.
Busy With Details
Mr. Lee arrived in Cleveland Sun
day and was busy throughout the
day supervising the sending out of
last minute instructions to the gener-
al chairmen of his organization by
wire and mail.
Headquarters of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, now located in Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa. and of the Switch
mems Union now at Buffalo, will be
temporarily removed to Cleveland,
in order that all five of the executives
may be available for immediate coun-
sci upon any development.
I'VE have abandoned hope for a
peaceful settlement" Mr.. Lee added
There may be some man with power
enough to avert the conflict, but I
do not know how it is to be accom-
plished. The railway executives have
rejected our proposals for a confer
ence and in the face of our appeal
have made plans for further wage
reductions"
for one would be glad to at
tend conference of union leaders
and railway executives in Washing
ton to discuss means of averting the
nationwide tie-up of transportation.
Peace is always desirable, and if
President Harding should see fit to
call the leaders of both sides to the
capital, I can see no reason why any
union man should refuse to attend
We have nothing to conceal. Our
cards are on the table.
