Kate was puzzled. She felt she

Alice wasn't looking, she studied the

HAGEN AND KIRKW00D
WILL PLAY AGAINST
ROTAN AND CARLTON
Opponents Named for Hous-
ton Match-to Stay
for Tourney.

Houston, Tex. Feb. S.-Walter Ha-
gen, the debonair American who won
the British open golf championship last
season, and Joe Kirkwood. the Aus
tralian trick shot maker of international
fame, are to play double engagement
in Houston this month. The noted
pair will play 36-hole match against
George ROtan and o. S. Carlton Jr.,
Sunday, February is and two days
later will take a fling at the prize
money in the open event with which
the annual Houston invitation tourna-
ment will be opened.
Rotan and Carlton are Houston
amateurs. The former is the most
consistent golfer in Texas. The latter
is younger man, in fact a youth, but
at times he has startled the local
golfing fraternity by wonderful doings
on his home course. "Ossie," as he is
known to his friends, has a 67 70 his
credit. Both he and Rotan are Hous-
ton residents.
A contract binding Hagen and Kirk
wood TO an exhibition in Houston,
February Is has been signed, Harry
I. Kendall handling the business end
of 1t for the Houston Country Club.
Mr.. Kendall announces that Mt the
completion of the 3G-hole match Kirk
wood will give an exhibition of trick
shot making. In this respect he is
without an equal in the world of golf.
A few Texans have seen his magic, but
the majority have not.
In order that the exhibition match
may be made partially self-supporting.
it may be decided TO charge nominal
fec, yet no definite conclusion has been
reached. In recent years it has been
customary at the national open meets
to fix small fee to help defray ex-
penscs which are often heavy.
1t is the plan of both Kirkwood and
Hagen to remain in Houston through
Tuesday, February 20. This will en-
able them to compete in the 36-hole
open competition set for that date.
Several hundred dollars in prizes are
to be distributed to the players making
the best showing. Other pros will be
here from the cities of the southwestern
sector,
The qualifying round of the annual
invitation meet is set for Wednesday,
February 81. This will be followed by
three days of championship play and
by competition in the lesser flights.
All amateurs will be classed by their
club handicaps. Provision is made
for three flights with prizes for the
winner and runner-up in each. There
is also a medal for the best qualifying
score.
For players who fail to qualify and
for those defeated in the first round
of match play a special foursome COM
petition has been arranged, starting
February %. This will give the play
ers who are usually out of the running
a chance at some of the trophies.

GEORGES CLEMENCEAU
KEEPS SILENT WHILE
FRANCE HOLDS RUHR
Tiger Thinks 1t Mistake But
Will Not Embmrass
Leaders.
BY VILLA MBIRD.

Copyright. 1923, by The San Antonio Light.
Paris, Feb. $50 long as the French
forces remain in the Ruhr, Georges
Clemenceau will abstain entirely from
participation in politics. So far does
he carry his self-imposed policy OF
silence that he positively has refused
to write articles in newspapers. French
or foreign on political subjects.
This statement was made TO this cor.
respondent today by close friend OF
the Tiger to whom it was suggested
Clcmenceau might assist in clearing up
the doubt in the United States con-
corning the wisdom of the French pol
icy by returning to active political
life.
While in America two months ago,
the Tiger let it clearly be understood
that he opposed the occupation of the
Ruhr. When he returned TO France he
found that the French government al
ready had practically decided on the
advance.
Clemenceau then issued a statement
cOntradicting certain phases attributed
to him, but he refused TO deny that he
considered the occupation would be a
mistake. His present policy of silence
is believed to be due TO the fact that
although he cannot approve the in.
vasion. he nevertheless is determined to
do nothing that would embarrass the
French government in executing it.

be compelled to dispense with the SER
vices of all those men in his depart
ment not absolutely essential to the
maintenance of streets, that Mayor
Black must economiEe in his depart
ment and that the other commissioners
must shave their departments as close
ly as possible. Commissioner Pfeiffer
has insisted that he will oppose an
overdraft.
Financial Statement Monday.
1t was also indicated Saturday that
Commissioner Pfeiffer will oppose any
attempt on the part of Commissioner
Rieden to transfer funds from the en-
gineering department to the street de-
pnrtment in an effort to bolster up
his finances. Commissioner Pfeiffer
holds that City Engineer Harrigan has
kept within his budget, whereas the
street commissioner has spent his
money, and that the city engineer
should not be punished for the street
commissioners mistakes.
The financial statement to be issued
Monday, however, is expected to be
the deciding factor in the controversy
and it is believed that n program of
rigid economy will be insisted upon
when the city's finances are shown to
be in bad shape.

LEGISLATORS DECIDE
TO LEAVE VALLEY AS
DUST STORM ARISES
Cold, Drizzly Rain Also
Ouertakes Lawmakers
on Border Jaunt.

McAllen. Tex, Feb. 3.-After two
days of almost perfect weather had
featured the legislative junket to the
lower Rio Rrande, heavy dust storm
blew up late today, followed by cold,
drizzling rain.
1t was decided to leave McAllen at
o'clock Sunday morning on the return
journey TO Austin. where the leSisla-
tors expect to arrive late Sunday after
noon.
The legislative visit to the valley has
been a pronounced success from several
standpoints. Many legislators saw the
valley for the first time and gained an
impression of the special problems of
this section. They learned that it is
unlike any other section # the state.
and one probable result of the trip may
be the passage of the bill providing
for a special experimental station in
tho valley.
Virtually every town in Hidalgo coun-
ty was visited during the day.
Starting ut Mercedes early this MORN
ing the visitors went TO Weslaco, Donna,
Alamo. San Juan, Edinburg. Pharr, Nc
Allen. Mission and HidalEo.
Nearly 100 automobiles were fur
niShed by the Hidalgo county people.

ALL SIGN COLLEGIANS
Once Connie Mack Was Only Major
League Pilot to Conside Them.

College baseball is proving a fertile
field for major league club owners.
The recent signing of "JOcko" Con-
lon, star shortstOp of Harvard, by the
Boston Braves, has again attracted at
teDtion 10 the colleges as a training
field for major league players.
A perusal of the major league squads
shows that from six to twe.ye collegians
are on every one of the sixteen teams in
the major leagues.
Connie Mack. who originated the COL
lege idea in major league baseball. at
one time had the field all to himself, as
most major league managers didn't care
to nurse the collegians along. Now it's
different. 1t is peculiar fact that
John McGraw, who once stunned the
college ball player, now leads in en-
ploying them.
Twelve players in the Giants squad
are ex-collegians. McG-aw is strong
for the "rah rahi" boys.

/ have often been asked il it isn't
far more difficult to umpire balls and
strikes when some star pitcher is work
ing than with couple Of average
twirlers doing the hurting.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

The impression prevails that it is
much more difficult to judge the curves
and speed of the truly great pitchers.
The fact that the star pitchers are
usually very troublesome to the batter
creates the belief that they are equally
severe on the umpire.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

It may occasion some surprise when
l say that a majority of the great
pitchers Of the game are easy to UNI
pire. i can offer any number of argu-
ments to substantiate such 4 state
ment.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

There are some star pitchers who
make plenty of work. For instance,
if Stanley Covelcskie is pitching for
Cleveland and Urban Shocker for st.
Louis, the umpire is set for a tough
day.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

ball games with Walter johnson doing
the pitching than one game in which two

San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

Third: Batters as a rule do not
seem quite as fussy when some star
is pitching ms with the ordinary twirler
working. They seem TO take it for
granted that the star should be able
to fool them, but they question the
right Of some "busher" to get a strike
past them.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

Coveleskie starts with n spitball and
finishes with one. to use the words of
the rest of the American League. Cove
lcskie has a varied assortment of spit
tiers. all breaking in a different manner.
Calling 'em too quick on COVE is
fatal. for often in the last six feet the
ball takes its deceptive break.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-02-04

First: Most of the great pitchers
have such confidence in their ability
that n miscue on the part of the UNI
pire doesn't mean a thing TO them. Miss
n perfect strike on some star and
ninety-nine times out of hundred he will
pass it by unnoticed. Miss a strike on
some ordinary twirlcr and he will in all
probability let the world know it.
