LIST
FOR GOLF CUT
To BONE
U. s. Association Likely to
Have Most Condensed
Field in History.

The eligibility list Of the United
States Golf Association for 1928 VIII
be cut to the bone, according to WORD
received from James ID. Standish, tr,
of Detroit. chairman Of the commit
tee in charge of the list. That ma
tional championship to be held at
Flossmoor will probably have the
most condensed" field of good golf
ers ever gathered together.
Standish announced the necessity
of restricting the entries while he
was on his way to Brookline for the
last meeting. and he coupled II with
the statement that If he did not
qualify his own name would be the
first to come off the eligibility list
for 1923. And he did not qualify!
1t IL to be understood that the
trimming Of the list will not eliminate
a man who has a real chance OF win
ming through. All those who have an
inside chance will be left, and the
shortened list will give an opportu.
nifty for a new lot of players whose
entries must be rejected II the eligi.
bifity sheet remains as large as at
present.
At Brookline II would have been
perfectly easy to pick out rs per cent
of the players who had no chance OF
qualifying, and easier'to pick so per
cent who had no earthly chance OF
winning. And this choice could have
been made. and the players debarred
from entering without in the slightest
degree lessening the quality of the
list.
a 1t Is not at all possible that ex-
champions will ever be left Off the
chosen list, and therefore II cannot
be considered discriminatory to use,
say, w. c. Fownes, as an illustration.
In a. match at eighteen holes, this
sterling golfer could hold bis own
with almost any golfer in the coun'
try.
In a club tournament where's the
matches were strung out over a
period of weeks, Fownes would have
as good chance as, say, Chick Ev'
ans, or Jess Sweetser.
Even In n sectional or State cham.
pionshlp, where only few Of the
recognized stars compete, Fownes
might win. In a national champion.
ship he could not win the title any
more than could Jerome Travers, or
Harold Hilton, or Walter Travis. or
Chandler Egan, or Eben Byers. =
All OF these men are yex champions
hut the chances are that in national

them would be dropped. and n theS
did win, they could not get past the

Coast League magnates,

Frisco won in 1915, 1917,

The man who made these predlc-
ton. rs Martin Beck. the vaude.
vile executive. l met Mr.. Beck
again the other day. This time he
said:
Tell the world for me that there
10 nothing to compare with the golf
craze in America this year. We
have brand new worry In the
houses all over our circuits now: So
many Of the artists have taken up
golf that managers are always In n
fret for fear the acts will miss their
afternoon calls. They are all out on
the links nearly every day when golf
can be played"
Then Mr.. Beck made a state
ment which fell into my ears with
great interest and which may be
as prophetic as his vision six years
ago. He said the time would soon
arrive when lecturers would 20

country making talks on the tech.
nical points Of playing golf.
He based this prediction on the
success of an act which some time
ago appeared in all the big vaude-
vile theaters with a skit about golf
which was largely a demonstration
of skill in swinging the clubs. Mr..
Beck sensed an interest in this that
went beyond it's entertainment fea-
lures.

A WHITE WoMAN's VIEW OF So
CIAL EQUALITY.

Lillie B. C. Wyman in n. Y. Nation.)
There are now many millions of per-
sons in this hemisphere whose exist
ence is due to "amalgamation." The
fact that this mixture is largely the
result of Illicit relationship proves,
mainly. that the natural impulse to-
ward mingling is too strong to he re
pressed by social or legal prohibition.
Law and custom can only guide and
regulate it. At present, all the world
over, the white man seeks the dark
woman by demoralizing and brutal
methods vastly more than the dark
man seeks the white woman in any
way. Moreover, is it well for any hui
man group to repel any other from its
association, without regard to individ-
uaI character, personal behavior, or
mental equipment? 1t is time to face
squarely the question of so-called $50
cial equality''-time to let the world
(and its presidents) know that there
are white Americans who are deter
mined to do what they can to unite So
eially all the diverse racial elements
in this country. We make no apollo
gies for our action. We invite into our
own parlors and visit in theirs whom
soever we find agreeable. We are
thereby pleasing ourselves and we be-
lieve that we are promoting the well
faresof America.

distribution throughout the United

zone of the most effective steps
taken by the Advancement Association
was the organizing of sentiment
throughout the United States among
voters, both white and colored, towards
demonstrating to Congress the desire
for enactment of anti-lynching legisla-
tion. This was done through the asso
ciation's four hundred branches,
through churches, clubs, fraternal or
ganizations and other bodies. To all
of these and particularly to the col
ored press which served so Loyalty and
faithfully, the association wishes to eX-
tend its thanks. The effectiveness of
this work is demonstrated by the re-
peated charges made ON the floor of

Southern members that the Dyer bill
was not the bill of the Republican
party, but was being forced through
the House by the National Association

OVER CASE
IN COURT
Prominent New York Colored
Lawyer Takes Own Life.

New York;. Frank Wheaton,
prominent colored lawyer and former
assistant district attorney, committed
suicide at his home POS West 18th
street.
He was found on the floor of his
bathroom with a rubber tube, con-
nected with an open gas jet, in his
mouth.
Mr.. Wheaton was one of the most
successful lawyers of his race. He
was the only colored man elected to
the Legislature in Minnesota, where
he formerly lived. He was assistant
district attorney in New county the
first four months of 1920.
Dependency brought about by the
fleeing of man for whom he had put
up a $4,000 bond caused him to take
his life.

hundred were standing around on the
out side. The Electric Garage, of
which he was employed as night
floor man, closed down during the
time of his funeral. The floral offer

was given Judgment for $50 by a jury
in Third Division Circuit Court a few
days ago in suit for compensatory
damages brought against the Missouri

According to the testimony, the
woman bought ticket to Little Rock
and boarded the train at Jacksonville,

required her to ride in the Negro
smoking car as the Negro passenger
coach was filled and that when she
refused to do so, the train was
stopped and she was put off. The
original suit was for $1,000.

~HE NATIONAL Association for
the Advancement of COlored Peo-
Il pie, 20 Fifth avenue, New York,
TODAY made public Il statement by NJ.
Pierre Hudicourt Haitis delegate to
the second Hague conference and
former head of the bar association in
Haiti's capital city, Port au Prince
M. Hudicourt. who is in New York on
his way to Washington to make addi-
tional protest to the United States
Senate against American occupation
of his country, made the following
statement
'Tn my capacity as Haitian delegate
to the second conference at the Hague,
where I signed all the conventions
there adopted, am obliged to protest
against the bad faith of the American
government which, under pressure of
financjers and business men decided to
invade Haitian territory and to de-
stroy our national independence. Our
independence, like that of America,
was conquered at the price of our best
blood and the greatest sacrifices. MY
hope is to move the American people
as profoundly as possible to decide
their government to accomplish the
only possible act of justice TO Haiti,
which is to retire from the invaded
territory.
81 consider as odious hypocrisy the
pretexts of humanity and interest in
the Haitian people invoked by the
United States government in perpe-
trating upon Haiti reign of terror
and extortion, continued since 1915.
The treaty of 1915 cannot be invoked
against Haiti as basis for the Amer
lean regime for it was imposed on the
country as a result of hypOcritical de-
ceit and acts of violence. IF an indi-
vidual had done to another's hurt
what the United States government
has done to the Haitian people, the
only punishment adequate would be
life Imprisonment or the scaffold."
