Football star for Giants.

Another great football player Joined
the ranks of the Giants yesterday. Jim
Tierney announced that Edwin Hale,
right handed pitcher. had been signed
and would report to John McGraw at
San Antonio. Hale. let II be understood.
was captain and right halfback of the
Mississippi College eleven last season
and was one of the greatest players the
Southern season produced.
He was placed on many Of the All
Southern teams. and some of the critics
down in that neck of the woods rated
him even above Judy Harlan. the sem
sational halfback of the Georgia Tech
outfit. Hale is an all around athlete,
being n track and field performer as
well as q baseball and football luminary.
He will go TO San Antonio direct from
COLLEGE at Clinton. Miss
The New York clubs will have quite
o collection OF football stars in their
camps and could get up a fairly good
professional eleven. The Giants will
have Hale, Frisch OF Fordham. Walter
Kopf of Dartmouth. Bill Ryan Of Holy
Cross. and perhaps Howard Berry of
Pennsylvania, Of whom nothing has been
heard The Yankees will have the great

MRS. W. A. GAVIN TO
RETURN TO AMERICA
Net Golf Champion Writes
She VIII Represent United
States in British Tourney.
by KERR n. PETRIE.

With Miss Georgianna M. Bishop in
the Bridgeport Hospital with broken
leg and Mrs. William A. Gavin in Eng
land, 1t looks as though the next
women's metropolitan golf champion
ship will have to get along without
the pair who fought it out in the
finals last year at Nassau. Mss Bishop,
the runner up on that occasion. is likely
to be out of the~game for a year, 1t Is
stated.
AS for Mrs. Gavin, who garnered the
laurels. the prospects indeed are very
remote that she will be back in the
United States in time to defend. seeing
that the British women's championship,
in which she intends to compete. will be
finishing about the time that the New
York district women are gathering at
the first tee at Morris County. The
metropolitan title holder. however.
should be in time for the Griscom cup
matches. which are to be played over
the Westchester- -Biltmore links in June.
There appears to be some mistaken
impression that Mrs. Gavin has re-
turned to England for good. Such Is
not the case. and there could be, no
better authority for the statement than
the champion herself. In a letter to the
writer Mrs. Gavin not only takes issue
with a statement in New York paper
to the effect that she had severed her
Connection with American golf but as
serts that she hopes 20 play for many
years to come in the metropolitan cham
pionship. The letter. written in London.
where Mr.. and Mrs. Gavin now are re-
siding temporarily. is as follows:
II have just read a statement In
New York paper to the effect that I had
returned to England and would not rep
resent American golf in the future. This
is entirely incorrect. Neither l nor my
husband has the slightest intention OF
residing in England. both being perma-
nently domiciled In New York. We are
here after nearly seven years absence
visiting relations and friends and Will
be returning Immediately after the
British championship lin which L VIII
represent America) to defend my title
of metropolitan champion, in which
tournament / hope TO play for many
years to come"
For the very good reason stated above
there Is little prospect Of Mrs. Gavin
being able to carry out her good inten-
tions in regard to the metropolitan
championship, but she will be tower
OF strength to the local side In the trl-
city matches and a very welcome addi-
tlon to the ranks. Last year Mrs. Gavin
rlayed some of her best golf and THIS
DESPITE the fact that she has often ap-
peared to better advantage IT. the ma
tional event. Against Miss Bishop in
the Anal of the metropolitan she scored
rs for her morning round at Nassau.
Going out in 80 in the afternoon she
won the match by 8 up and to play.

Willie Hunter Leaves To-day

Those who remember the painstaklng
earnestness with which Willie liunter'
holder of the British amateur title, pre-
pared himself for the United States
championship at st. Louis last year
will not be surprised to hear that he is
leaving to-day for home by way of fit
ting himself for the test which is to
come in May. when he starts out In de-
fer Sc of his honors over the Prestwick
links in Scotland.
Hunter has been representing Lon
don woolen house In the United states
since his arrival here last summer and
business has no doubt something to do
with his early departure. Those who
know the former Deal postal clerk real
ize, however. that Willie means busi-
r.ess in this years championship, and
that If business has been found interfer-
nl with his golf he is so ordering the
business that 1t will fit in with his golf
ing plans for the coming season.
At st. Louis last September Hunter
srent days mastering the tricks of the
course. He seldom played around, but
instead took a dozen or two dozen balls
with him and proceeded to the holes and
shots which he felt were most liable to
cause trouble. AS the British cham
pionship does not begin until May %
Hunter is not likely TO start such inten-
sive training right off the reel. Certain Il
is, though. that he will be found fully
prepared when the bell rings. Willie
stated yesterday that he knew posi-
lively that Ouimet. Guilford. Armour
and Jimmy Johnston of st. Paul are to
follow him to Prestwick.

BUSINESS TO IMPROVE
Georgia Bankers Told of Cheerful
Outlook.

Atlanta, May 27.-A forecast of
gradual but steady improvement in
business conditions throughout the
country and suggestion that Geor-
gia pass law permitting farmers
to plant cotton only in alternate years
were heard by delegates at the con-
cluding session of the Georgia Bank
ers' association here today.
The forecast came from Eugene
Meyer, Jr., managing director of the
War Finance Corporation, who ad-
dressed the convention and the sug,
gestion made by P. H. Hunter, an
Elberton, Ga, banker, who was elect
ed president of the association. Mr..
Hunter proposed that the cotton
planting restriction be imposed by
counties, which he said would have a
tendency to destroy the boil weevil
as we'll as prevent too large a sur
plus of the commodity.

NORTH CAROLINA
BANK is HELD UP
Robber Secured $4,000 in Broad
Daylight And Made His
Escape

Greensboro, N. c., May 30
Playing a lone hand an unidentified
bandit this morning at II o'clock
forced Cashier Howard Simpson
and Director B. H. Hoskin, into a
corner and robbed the Bank Of
Summerfeld, a village about IL
miles north of this city, of about
$4,000 in cash.
After rifling the cash drawer OF
the institution and securing every
penny of cash the robber backed
out of the door and made his get.
away, going across the fields from
the village into wood.
Sheriff Stafford and posse OF
deputies and city police officers left
Immediately after the happening
for the scene and began a thorough
search of the countryside which
had not resulted in success late to-
day.
The cashier and director were
standing in the main room of the
bank reading a letter when the man
entered. He threw a gun on them,
ordered them to put up their hands,
which they complied. Failing in his
efforts to lock them in the vault
he held them covered with his gun
while he secured the money. After
cleaning the till and making certain
that there was no more cash in the
building he backed to the door and
made his escape. Excitement is run
ming high in the village following
the robbery, people flocking to the
scene from the farms and communi-
ties nearby, virtually all of whom
joined the sheriff's posse in pursuit
of the bandit.

seven o'clock Tuesday when she
had another stroke from which she
quietly passed away Wednesday
morning about 2 o'clock. She was
before her marriage Miss Ella
Spence Of Troy and was fifty-six

AFFECTS POSTAL CLERKS
President Wants Work on Strict
Eight.Hour Basis.

Washington, May 28.-President
Harding today took action affecting
more than $4,000 postal clerks and
carriers throughout the country when
he approved a recommendation of
the Postoffice Department for the es-
tablishment of a strict eight-hour
basis for postal employees.
The Presidents approval of the
plan followed a conference at the
White House with Acting Postmaster
General Bartlett, who had explained
that thousands of employees, by rea-
son of the exhaustion of appropria-
tions for auxiliary clerks, were oblig-
ed to work from one-half to two
hours overtime each day. The Presi-
dent was of the opinion, it was un-
derstood, that additional clerks in
sufficient numbers should Immediate
ly be put to work at all points where
overtime is now required in the dis
charge of postal duties, in order that
the mails might be properly and ex-
peditiously handled on a strict eight
hour basis. To make such a move pos
sible the President was said to have
advised Mr.. Bartlett that he would
ask Congress for an additional ap-
preparation.
