 American War Work In Sweden.
 It was due to this palace and his entertainment therein, that MT. Nor rs accomplished much for the United States during the World war. The house has many parlors, each as big as a schoolroom, and a library the size of a church. It has scores of rooms adapted for entertainment and Morris kept things lively from one years end to the other. He had had some diplomatic experience before he was appointed by President Will son and he was one of the few prominent diplomats who held over fer half the term of President Hard ing. He had a delicate position here during the war About half of the Swedes sympathized with Germany and the other half with the Allies. The masses were in favor of France, England and Italy, while the nobility and soldiers, who had been trained after German methods favored the Kaiser The Queen of Sweden is German She was Princess Victoria. | Duke of Baden.
 | Before the Russians went Bolshe- vik, the question Of involving Nor
 way and Sweden in the war hung by hair. The Swedes have long hated the Russians and they feared the Czar while the Russians were act | ing with the Allies. Russia was building military railroads across Finland, and in case the Germans were defeated the Swedes feared the Czar might seize the iron mines of Lapland, and Narvik, an open port on the Norwegian coast and annex all northern Scandinavia.
 l A warning to this effect had all
 ready been issued in 1912 by Swan Hedin the Asiatic explorer who pub lished pamplet of 70 pages, en- titled "A Warning Word" In this Hedin pointed out Russia's ambition and advised that the Swedes make themselves ready for war. The book created sensation and with it as propag ganda, about four million dol | lars was raised by subscription for battleships. In 1914 Hedin published second warning, and the excite ment became so great that thirty thousand farmers elected by the country population, came tc' Stock holm and in an address to the King told him that they were willing to stand by any new taxes he might wish to impose for the defense of the nation. The King came out on the balcony of the royal palace and told the peasants that he would net fail them, and would not compromise in any vital question regarding the Fatherland He told them that this meant longer military service for the citizens, hard winter training and a considerable increase in the army and navy. After that all party lines were forgotten, and parliament voted a big extra fund to maintain Sweden's neutrality, and make 1t ready should she have to fight.
 O O O
 Swedes Almost Joined Germany.
 How much this situation meant was hardly appreciated in America. The Swedish army on a peace footing has less than ninety-two thousand men. but every Swede from the age of 20 to AZ is liable to service and the total rolls amounts to 655,000. There were times during the war when the Swedes were on the edge of joining the Germans. They were angry at the Allies and our minister had much to do in persuading them to maintain their neutrality.

FLIVVER PLANE MAKES
 65 MILES PER HOUR
Dream Of Small Aircraft Is
 Reached In England

LONDON, July 21.-(By Associated Press. )-Last years dream of aerial flivvers has come true An experi- mental glider fitted with twin engines of five horsepower and two tiny pro- pellors has, in it's first test flight, hit up speed of 65 miles an hour and attained a height of 2,500 feet. The flight was made from the air drome at Lympne, within two hours after the little plane had been un- packed from a motor lorrr.
 It seemed easy to assemble Ine many parts and not at all difficult, from financial standpoint. to keep 1t in the air, the gasoline consump- tion being much less than for small automobile.
 The propellors. each yard in length, are at the back of the front plane, where chain connects them with the engine. The pilot sits in front. The span of the front wings measures only 33 feet, and the length from head to tail is 12 feet. There is hardly any undercarriage, the land- ing wheels being attached to the body itself.
 This new glider will be entered in the various European gliding cons tests this summer. These are sure to produce even greater sensation than those of year ago, since i'll the interim the use of small powered engines in airplanes has made dis tinct progress.

One of the best ways 1 have found
to train golfers how to accomplish
any one certain thing In the golf
swing is to give them something
else to do. In other words, to go
south head yourself north.
Thus, it IL not enough to tell the
golfer to 'keep his eye on the
ball' or 'tsee the ball." So to break
yourself of the habit of looking up
before your stroke is made, the thing
to do il set yourself a task that will
make you automatically keep the
head down. The hest way 1 know
of to accomplish this is to fix an
imaginary line of play through the
ball and determine, just before you
start each shot, that yOur club
head comes down you will let your
left hip go forward and shoot your
right shoulder into the ball. You
must, TN doing this, give the club
head tine to get to the ball before
you go after 1t with your right
shoulder. Keep the fOotwork, too,
fast enough to be up with the club
head. 1t is Impossible to see the
ball after the club has hit TT, which
In why many players quit mt the ball.
Getting the fdea of sending the right
shoulder i'm after it will cause the
player to keep his head down, which
is the main thing. 1t is impossible
to lift the head while the shoulder
is going In and after the ball.

display of gameness has been wit

that of Charley White of Chicago,

a storm of blows showered on him by
Pal Moran of New Orleans.
1t was a technical knockout, for
Referee Haley, instead OF completing
the count, motioned Whites handlers
to help their man to his corner.
A right hook to the jaw in the elev-
enth round spelled Whites doom as

From that punch onward White was
at Moran's mercy. Three times In the

No other big league moundsman.
not even the great Cy Young, has
pitched SO wonderfully over a long
stretch as has Johnson. Young
worked twenty-five years in the big
show. but In the latter part of his
career never performed with the skill
exhibited by Johnson Christy Ma
thewson faltered in his late pitching
for the Giants, and neither Babe
Adams nor Grover Alexander has

supreme among the long service hurl-
ers and much better than a majority
of the young stars drawing salaries
in the American and National circuits.
Sets strike-Out Record.
Johnson may be slipping. but not to
any hard bump, for If his performance
yesterday Is any criterion he has sew
oral good seasons ahead. Not only
did he defeat the Red Sox. but he
mastered the batters to such an ex-
tent that he established a season rec
ord for strike-outs in a game. Twelve
times Boston batsmen stepped to the
plate, only to retire after waving at
a third strike or having one called
against them. Johnny Mitchell, who
grabbed three of the seven hits made
Off johnson, was the only one OF the
Red SoX not strike-out victim.
johnson was in fine fettle and de-
of the tallies made by the Red SoX
was of the earned variety. To win,
the BuShmen slammed Alec Ferguson
in one frame and took advantage of
his wildness in another. Both teams
were guilty Of loose playing in, the

ted the Red SoX to cluster hits in but

The Nationals won in the same ses-
sion after filing the bases with one

In the second game the Red SoX
went into the lead in the third inning
when Goslin's misjudgment of Picin-

with O. Red SoX error netted the
Nationals four tallies in their portion
OF the round. and Harris triple
chased Murray to the showers at

ed and before the frame ended the
