The action Of the war department
in awarding a Distinguished Service
cross to Major Andrew Rowan for
carrying the message to Garcia i'm
mediately after the declaration of
war against Spain in 1898 calls at
tention to the changed American pol
icy in recognizing valor.
The practice Of be-medaIing is
common to continental countries and
our Latin neighbors. But Anglo
Saxon peoples have been more re-
served in their outward manifesto
tons of appreciation for high cour-
age. With persons of the stock from
which real Americans come, appre-
citation is a deep emotion, rather
than a surface demonstrations Who
can measure the feeling that beats
through American hearts at the
name of Nathan Hale? Who can
hear without a stirring Of the blood
the story Of Stephen Decatur's eX-
plot at Tripoli? These deeds and a
few others show above the high level
of bravery set by rank and file of
American arms in all wars. But it
is the deeds, rather than the medals
given for them, that are enshrined in
memory.
Major Rowan's exploit was some

thing similar. He entered Spanish
lines in disguise, risking death as a
spy. The inspiring story of the act
flashed over the entire country. But
it was the carrying of the message
to Garcia rather than the name Of
Rowan which was made the subject.
Thus his name did not receive the
recognition to which it was entitled,
and he escaped the fulsome adulation
which marred the splendid deeds of
Dewey at Manila and Hobson with
the Merrimac. His recognition now
is just.
In the world war our association
with countries prone to bestow med
ais Iavishly induced US to depart
somewhat from our established pol
icy of granting very few ribbons for
valor. Many citations for gaIlantry
were made. 1t should not be sug-
gested that those awarded these to-
kens were other than abundantly de-
serving of recognition. But it is man

 This telegram was sent to the New York state commission:
 Statement that Canada back ac- ton of New York state commission In depriving Wilson and Kilbane of their championships is not correct.

Chris Brink, Bobby Jones, Frank Godchaux and M. (. Jones in Today's Semi-Fin- aIS of Dixie Meet.
Rr Aasoclnted Press

Atlanta Ga. June 22.--Chris Brink of Louisville will meet Bobby Jones of Atlanta and Frank Godchaux, New Orleans, will play M. c. Jones. Atlanta, in the semi-finals of the Southern Amateur Golf champion ship here tomorrow.
 Brink eliminated Perry Adair. At lanta, 1921 champion, one up today in one of the hardest fought matches ever seen on the East Lake course, and M C. Jones had a terrific strus- gle with T. N. Bradshaw, Atlanta. while Godchaux and Bobby Jones each ended their matches at the twenty seventh hole. The former eliminated R. H. Baugh, Jr., Birming- ham, 10-9 and the latter put out w c. Harris, Memphis, 1l-9. M. C. Jones won 2 and l.
 Brink's match ended with him one I'D at the thirty sixth hole when ne. sank Is foot putt for a par 5, while Adair missed one of almost the same length. The kentuckian was dcwn at the end of the first nine this morning but he was all square at IS by remarkable putting ana wonderful chip shots.
 Adnir's Putting Off
 Brink won the first hole in the afternoon by getting down in one mutt and Adair caught him at the third when Brink missed two puts Thereafter they were never more than one hole apart, although the Kentuckian's tee shots were fre- ouently off the fairway while Adair was driving them down the alley nearly every time, but unable to keep his advantage because his puts refused him.
 This match drew the gallery in the afternon and while Brinks won derful recoverie9 and deadly putting won him more applause than went to the local player, the spectators could not believe he could keep 1t LID. They turned all square and talyed Nos. 10 and Il in par figures. Adair won the twelfth but lost the thirteenth on Brink's remarkable chip shot and 30 foot putt. They halved No. IA, Brink again requIr- ing only one putt.
 Adair One Up
 A birdie four put Ada1r one up on the 18th, but he pitched over the 18th and lost to Brink's par 1. Each missed three-foot putt on number 1T, Brink drove short to number IS and Adair off to the left. Brink pitched up to within 16 feet of the cup and Adair was foot closer. The Kentuckian sank his for par 8. Adair needed a par to keep it even but his ball trimmed the cup and stayed out. Brink had not only eliminated the defending champion, | but he had made a reputation for coolness and gameness. He had a medal score of 155 for the S6 holes against Adair's 154.
 Long driving power that sometimes gave him as much CT more distance Tn one or two shots that Harris got in two or three, in addition to ac- curate putting, was the secret of Bobby Jones' easy victory over the Memphis contender. Jones shot the 27 holes in 107. one under par, while Harris required 12 more strokes.
 Young Baugh Eliminated Godchaux shot the 27 holes required to eliminate Baugh in 112. making the last nine in par 36, while Baugh was

ing out "stuffy" Stewart to start the ball rolling. It looked like James day, the next two players went down in order and did the same in the sec- ond
 The Crackers counters In the open ing looked to be enough to win the ball game with James pitching like he was. Hook walked to start the inning. Klugman sacrificed, rolling out to Neun unassisted. Guyon singled to left, sending Hook to third. Mayer flew out to Silva in center.
 Bnrons Tie Game
 The Barons tied up the game in their half of the third and the crowd knew that there was going to be what is commonly known as a ball game. Burkett, first up, singled to center. James then picked a poor time to hit a batter. bouncing the ball off Rebertsons rIbs, sending Burkett to second and the hit bats man to the initial Gack. Eberhard eased the pressure by swinging. Stewart scored Burkett with a hit to left. Neun grounded. to Bernsen to get on the bag, but threw too late to the plate to cut off the runner.
 The Barons added another counter in the fourth. Harper was safe on Ritters error. went to second and scored on infield out by Clark and Kane. Burkett smashed to center.
 Bnrons Score Again
 The visitors scored again in the sixth when, after Silva had hit through second and advanced a peg by Harper's sacrifice, klugman made wild heave at Bernsen that went into the grandstand, and in the re- sultlng tossing the ball around the lot Silva crossed the plate. The visi- tors scored two more in the eighth and one in the ninth and figured that they had come to the end of perfect day.
 But Wal" Bill Rariden figured little himself along about this time and he sent in Frederick Graff to hit for James and Fred must have told Rariden that he could hit the pitch ing offered for he very promptly did so, getting 8 nice single through second.
 Hook singled to center, Graff hold ing second, Klugman walked to the plate and bumped a triple down the left field foul line. Guyon singled through second scoring Klugman. Mayer sent .Guyon to second with sacrifice and at a conference in the middle of the diamond the "sovier" decided that they would walk Bern sen to get to Smith, This was done and to show that he appreciated their opinion of his process as a bat ter he slammed double to right scoring Guyon with the tying run.
 Whitehili relieved Eberhart at this Junction and Ritter ended the SCOT ing for the entire game by ground ing out Burket to Neun.
 From the ninth inning on both of the teams played excellent ball and the Crackers behind Marshall looked like different ball team. In nearly every inning both teams threatened to score but the winning run perched on third several times failed to materialize and the game was called at the end of the fourteenth on account of darkness.
