about 1900 union painters and paper
hangers, providing for wage in
crease of 81 a dav. to run from May
to May l, 1924, has been negotiated

signed, the agreements having yet
another year to run at 81 an hour.
The successful negotiations were for
opening the agreements and a wage
increase, in line with the move being
made by the other building trades

Let In 400 More
By "HoCus-PoCus'
(By Federated Press)

Washington-By resorting to an
eleventh-hour political fiction, the
government has made a ruling which
admits to the United States some 400
counter-revolutionary refugees from
Russia. The immigration quotas of
Russia, Poland and Rumania were all
officially exhausted some time ago,
but by an official Juggling of Bess-
arabia, which is in dispute between
Russian and Rumania, and of the
Pinsk region, which is in alleged dis
pute between Russia and Poland, the
secretaries of state, labor and COM
merce have found it is legal to admit
the refugees, and it is so ordered.
The secretary of labor had previous
ly announced that it was impossible.

Bobby Wallace, scout and coach

Few instances can be found of a

One afternoon. when Bobby had

O'Farrell dragged a brand new

ornate wrapping and teed it up.

ASP|RANTS
TO QUALIFY
IN NGROUPS
Eighty in East and Eighty in
West Will Play Pre-
Iiminaries.

The 1924 national open champion.
ship under the auspices of the
United States Golf Association will
have the contestants qualifying In
sections. as had been the original
intention this year.
Eighty golfers will qualify in the
East and the same number in the
West for a total of 160 players
so that only two days will be
needed for the championship proper
At Inwood in July, practically
ten days were needed to decide
the winner, because of the fact
that four days were taken to
qualify and there was an extra
day for the play-off of the tie be-
tween Bobby Jones, the ultimate
winner, and Bobby Cruickshank
the Shackamaxon professional.
Conditions next year will provide
for the pros to play thirty six
holes a day for the championship
proper. All qualification details
will be left in the hands of the
Professional Golfers Association OF
America, and the exact method OF
handling the event will be worked
out at the next national executive
meeting of the association to be
held in this city next month.
Nothing. definite has been gfver
out concerning the course for the
1924 championship, although 1t is
practically understood that the Oak
land Hills Country Club near De
troit will be the scene of action.

Chris Dalton Collects Odds
and Ends Of Baseball Ma
teriaI Over Long Period.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Chris Dal-
ton. confidential attendant Of the
supreme court, has a firsr-class
collection of baseball relics. His
latest addition is the bat with
which Casey StengeI made the two
home runs that gave the Giants
their two victories In tho world
series with the Yankees. Casey
and Chris are old friends, their
friendship dating back to the time
when Casey first joined the Brook
lyn club.
During the past ten years Chris
has collected souvenirs from the
various heroes Of the fall classic.
He boasts Of having enough bats,
balls, gloves, chest protectors and
fielders' mitts with which to start
a sporting goods store. All Of the
balls have been autographed by
the big stars Of the major league
diamonds. The latest addition to
the interesting collection was con-
veyed to Chris by Fred Jacklitsch,
former catcher Of Brooklyn and
Philadelphia.
In discussing Stengel's ability as
a hOme-run hitter, Chris told OF
the longest hit the outfieider ever
made. Casey was serving in the
navy at the time and appeared in
a game staged at the Prospect

GOLF BALI.
SPEED WITH
OLDSTYLE
Gutta-percha Spheres Will Be
Used in Unusual Match
Abroad.

An unusual golf team match is
to be played In England next
month between teams captained by
by Harold Hilton mad Cyril Tolley'
The players will use the old gutta.
percha ball. The test is calculated
to show what remarkable progress
has been made by the speeding up
Of the ball.
On the team led by Hilton are
many veteran players who used the
gutta.percha balls in the old days,
and it will be interesting to note
just how they will play with the
old ball after using the lively new
ball for such a long period.
The old players win probably
adapt themselves to the use Of
the old CUTIE ball easier than the
modern players on Tolley's team,
who have never used 1t.
The stroke used in the old days
was more of an exaggerated sweep
swing, while the present method
of driving is a clean, snappy hit.
Just how the unresilient ball will
act under the tremendous hitting
of players like Wetherde and Tolley
is a mystery, but the result will un-
doubtedly be surprising to the old
timers.
The conservatives who deplore
the long-hitting game overlook the
fact that the popularity of the
game Is due to the new ball. 1t
is doubtful if golf would have
spread to all the four corners Of
the earth If it had not been for
the rubber-cored ball.
There may have been fewer fluke
shots with the gutta-percha ball,
and the good shots were perhaps
properly rewarded and the bad
shots received their just punish.
ment. A topped drive with the
gutta ball stopped short and did
not bounce along like poorly hit
ball nowadays.
1t was perhaps a harder game
to play and there was more ac.
curacy at hitting, but the old game
never possessed the brilliancy and
the chance taking that are so
prominent in the modern game.

Yet, with all this babble, all this

that the $3.50, 900 gate would come

Unlike the average race of a big

The Washington owner has no en-.

Then, without an examination as
TO whether My Own was filter

they announced long before the
Grayson silk bearer arrived at Bel

Admiral Grayson had been in
formed that both thoroughbreds
were to be examined at Belmont
Park yesterday afternoon and the
one which seemed in the better

merely a subterfuge by which the
