Many prominent golf fans express
the opinion that professional golfers
are becoming too mercenary and are
giving the game Il faint Of CONNER

1t is easy for one without the OPP
portunity to criticize others for max

has always been short and champions
have to make the best Of their limited
opportunities.
Johnny Wilson, middleweight cham

THEY KNOW WHAT WAR IS.

A few minutes before adjourn
ment of their convention, A.
merican Legion delegates in
New Orleans registered what is
by all odds the most important
conviction yet voiced by that or
ganization. That is a stand, as
sumed without a dissenting
voice, for an international court
that will outlaw war. The sig
nifeance of this conclusion can
not be over-estimated, especial
ly since it was conceived by the
Inter-Allied Veterans Commit
tee, composed not only of Amer
leans, but Of men representing
the armies of her old allies.
While various civil agencies
who condemn war may be quite
able to appreciate the insane
folly of it without direct partic-
ipation, when the fighter him
self, reared in the traditional be-
lief that war is the heritage of
the young and brave, brands it
in his diffusion an unspeakable
evil, the case against war is in
deed complete.
In war the soldier achieves in
credible heights of courage and
self-sacrifice, and many, but not
all, non-cOmbatants feel a sub
lime ephemeral patriotism. That
is wars sole saving grace. For
no conflict ever was waged that
was not rooted in the greed Of
one or both combatants. The
mouth-flling phrases, "Glori-
GUS" righteous" and so on are
the old euphemisms to describe
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1922-11-03

the worst activity of humans
as we'll as some of the best.
Wars are conceived because
greedy men promote them and
weak men are impotent to stave
them off. But soldiers the world
over since 1918 have grown to
see that they are the ones who
pay for wars and continue to
pay until their generation is
dead.
Before the late war was the
plea of the peace lover that civ
il power be kept from the hands
of the soldier. Today there are
no safer hands than those of
former fighters. If the same en-
tipathy to war voiced by the
Legion and its foreign comrades
were universal another conflict
in this era would be impossible.
These men have been most init
mately associated with War
and their verdict against it is a
conviction bought in the blood
of their kind.

Today's Angle In
Sports

Willie Hoppe is to get his chance
to regain his championship billiard
title which he held for so many
years.
Jake Scnaefer, who dethroned
Hoppe. has notified the ex-champ to
get ready.
The match will be staged at Chi
cago on March 81, IS, 20. The two
stars will meet in Orchestra Hall.
which has a seating capacity of
1000.
The match will be for 1900
points, played in blocks of 500 each
night. Lovers of the billiard game
in the east were hoping Schaefer
would select New York, but the
champion was loyal to Chicago.
Will Schaefer be able to repeat
his win over Hoppe and retain his
title?
Was Hopes defeat due to the
fact that he did not take the re-
cent tourney seriously enough?
Some of the experts insist Hoppe
played far below his game during
practically the entire tourney.
Others insist that Hoppe has gone
back, that he is no longer invinc-
IDLE. They are positive Schaefer's
victory in the coming clash will be
even more pronounced .
There is no doubt but that Hoppe
is out to regain his title. If he
didn't take the other meeting seri.
ously enough, he certainly isn't
overlooking a thing for the next
meeting.
Ever since his defeat he has
been practicing constantly. 1t is
said that he is again at the top
of his game
When Hoppe was champion it
was rarity for him to lose a
match to any one in his exhibitions.
Cont, the French champion, has
beaten Schaefer in exhibitions
since he won the title.

WOMEN REPLACE
MEN IN CARING
FOR GOLF GREENS

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Women and
motors today are taking the place
OF men and horses in the care of
golf courses, according to infor-
nation reaching members of the
greens committee of the United
States Golf association from all
parts of the country.
Ever since George O'Neill, then
professional at the Beverly Coun-
try club, Chicago, was forced by
the shortage of labor at the out
break of the World war to hire
women to weed the putting green's
and rake the bunkers, thereby dis
covering that they were better
help for such purposes than mere
man, the employment of women has
spread rapidly.
While the first use of motor now
ers was none too successful owing
TO their weight, which caked the
soil, Improvements have been
brought about until it is now pos
sible as discovered by Joe Roseman.
professional at the Westmoreland
Country club, to attach a gang of
i've light mowers to the tail end of
ftivver and clip several acres of
grass in day at a cost of a couple
of dollars for gasoline, and for the
wages of one chauffeur.
The motor system of grass cut
ting also has the advantage not only
OF rolling unevenness out of the fair
greens. but of avoiding the hoof
prints formerly left by horses.
II is the problem of the day, how
ever, members of the greens com
mitteee say, to maintain the present
standard of upkeep and still reduce
the cost, which runs at present for
an 1S-hole links, from $4,000 to
more than $4,000 a year.

before leaving this city, said he
fully expected to cover the dis

SuIe L can beat the time I made
wednesday night, granting, OF
course, that conditions are approx

IN the Madison Square Garden. That
run took nothing out of me at all.
1 wasn't thinking much about a rec
ord. What l wanted to do was to
beat Cutbill, who, as you know, left
me astern in 1921"
AT this 1uncture Ray laughed.
I'll make a confession" he said.
Il don't think / would have broken
that record had not the crowd sud-
denly begun to cheer. I had nut
on speed a bit before that, and as
L afterwards learned the cheers
came because OF the gain l was
making But 1 thought they were
due to the fact that CutbiIl was
sprlntlng and was close at my
heeis. So let cut a few extra
links. Later found that far from
crowding me, CutbilI was way be-
mind. Ny burst OF speed had two
effects, it served TO lap Cutbil and
give me four second strangIe-
hold on the old record
Il don't mind saying" Joie went
on, that the beating l was given
by Cutbill last year smarted. Il
had no alibi then and have none
now. l was fairly beaten by the
parson- Just the same, l knew I
had more stuff in me than had come
out and | went back home to Chi
cago with the stern determination
that l would come to the Garden
this year and regain my laurels."

to prepare himself for the season

his work along month after month !
until the time came for the supreme

The system worked we'll with

at 2z5. Freberg is said to be the
faster on his feet. Jan. Is the two
