Mrs. E. N. KiIby Is The Low Scorer, While Mrs. Geis-
 ner Is Second

The qualifying rounds of the annu- al ladies' city golf championship was played off Monday over the Roebuck Country club course. Mrs. E. N Kill by was low scorer with 92 while Mrs. H. s. Geisner, who is defending her title, was close second with a score of 94.

 About 40 ladies entered the tourna- ment this year and indications are that it will be at hot battle. The committee in charge of the tourna- ment had a hard problem in working out the schedule for the matches and 1t was. found necessary to schedule four matches in the championship flight for Tuesday morning and al- low six pairs byes in the first days play. Four matches will be played, then, in the championship flight Tuesday morning and the winners will pair off the second round with the other six pairs Wednesday. In the second flight only two matches will be played Tuesday morning and the other three matches will be played in the second round flight Wednesday.

Match Race For ZeU And Ny Own
 Finally Settled

l NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Zev and My | Own. Americas two best three year old colts, will run match race Sat 1 urday afternoon for the honor Ot | carrying the American colors in the ] international championship match race on October 20 against Papyrus, l the British champion.
 | sam Hildreth, trainer of Zey. and | believed to be part owner of the | Rancocas stables, of which Zev IS
 the star horse, surrendered Monday | afternoon and consented to the race l His equalization to popular clamor | followed soon after a letter by Brig. | Gen. William NJ tchelI. of the army air forces, to August Belmont. the | dominant man in metropolitan racing | circles, had been published in the | newspapers. MiteheiIs letter de- manded fair play for My own, which is owned by Admiral Cary Grayson. l Belmont S said to have been much
 annoyed by Mitchells action in per-
 hitting the letter to be published be-
 fore it was received by him. It was | written Saturday, mailed Sunday and
 received at Belmont's office in New l York Monday morning, several hours ] after it's contents had been given to l the public in the morning news papers.
 Harry F. Sinclair the multimillion- aire, who first became prominent as
 packer of the Federal Baseball league in 1913, is the owner of the l Rancocas stables. Zev is the great
 est horse he ever owned. Sinclair
 is said to have been wiling to ar | range the match Nace between Zev and My Own, but Hildreth threatened | to resign as trainer if Zev should be
 sent to the post in a trial match, | because ZeV was suffering from an
 injury to one of his hooves. This
 consisted of the loss of a frog" be-
 meath the hoof. Sportsmen who be- | lieved My Own the better horse, in-
 sisted that Hildreth's refusal was un-
 sporting because the injury is not re-
 garded as serious and Zex has had
 considerable time in which to recover.
 General Mitchells letter thorough | ly summed up the case for My Own,
 pointing out that Zev, although a
 great horse in the early part of the
 summer, might not now be as good as
 My Own.
 It Is up to the committee of the l ternational match race. to decide
 which of the two American colts
 shall go to the post against Papyrus. Grayson is regarded as a sportsman and not a business man of the race 1 track. Sinclair's sporting, qualities have not been impugned, but 1t was pointed out that even when his horse | was winning the greatest triumph
 that can be achieved by an American
 colt, the winning of the Kentucky Derby, Sinclair didn't attend the
 race. A few weeks later when Zev
 was winning another of the big spring three -year-old races, Sinclair was at sea, bound for Europe. Yet.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-10-02

Sinclair has strong influence in rac- ing affairs here and 1t was the belief
 of some that Zev would be favored in the selection unless there should be a show down.
 The proposal for the race is be- lieved to have come from the Ran cocas tables, possibly from Hildreth himself, who was not well pleased by the manner in which Zev was presented to public notice by Gen. eral Mitchelrs letter. An offer has been made to promote the match at the Aqueduct track next Saturday and if the trial is held at all. Adque- duct will be the scene. Aqueduct Is on Lond island within a few miles of Belmont Park and Jamaica track. The proposed race Is to be at dis tance of one mile and one furlong at equal weights. The international race Is to be at distance of one mile and one half
 My own is now at tho Laurel. Ma. track
 There were reports at Aqueduct track Monday that My Own, after . great series of performances late In the season, had broken down and could not get ready for race Satur- day, My Own broke down as a twe- year-old and this fact was recalled in connection with the reports of his collapse now.

 Following the recent announcement that he would not pilot the Red Sox in 1924, Chance is said to have re- ceived two lucrative offers to take over the managerial reins in other big league cities. He refuses to talk about these offers, but does not deny that he is giving them consideration.

Ny Own Will Not
 Race On One And One-Eighth Track

WASHINGTON, Oct. Admiral Cary T. Graysom will refuse My own against Zev at the mile and an tion run at Jamaica Saturday. He is holding out for mile and half. the distance fixed for the interna- tional race.
 T will stick for a mile and a half as I originally offered" Grayson said when informed that Sam H.Nlredth had agreed to an elimination race at a mile and an eighth. He telegraphed his refusal as soon as he learned the conditions.
 Previously Admiral Grayson had been advised he could have an elimi- nation race against Zev at five and half or six furlongs, but refused, in sisting that the trial meet should be, the same as that set for the internS- tional race with Papyrus.
 T offered to race for a mile and a half" Grayson said. That is the distance for the international race. and for elimination contests for that type of race. I will not enter my horse except for that distance.
 "The horse was trained for the in- ternational match distance. and 1t would be an unfair test to match them in sprint race"
 Grayson's decision brought a cli- max to a day of excitement here. Because of Admiral Grayson's promi- hence here. and the added element of local pride, hundreds who take little interest in racing are pulling for My Own.
 Race followers here side with the admiral in refusing to race his horse at the shorter distance proposed by Sam Hildreth. Brigadier General Mitchells letter to August Belmont, demanding that My own be given a chance to beat Zev before the inter- national race against Papyrus has made the horse race the chief topic of talk in the national capital for the day.

Corporations
A||NOF POTATO
GROWERS
Association, by Erecting Ware
houses, Plans to Cut Out
Commission Men.

NEW YORK, April 16.-Specula.
ton in the nations potato crop will
be stamped out, through co-operar
tive marketing of q great portion
of the country's potato crop this
year, according to plans being
formulated here today.
The 1923 potato crop is expected
to reach 35O,0O0,0OO bushels and a
movement is afoot, backed by or
ganizers of well-established co-opera-
tive producers and marketing as
sociations, to sell the crop to con-
sumers after eliminating most Of
the middlemen.
The nucleus for the organization
will be the Maine Potato Growers
Cooperative Association, while the
potato growers Of New York State
are being organized today.
Sponsors for the cooperative
marketing movement, who plan to
put the potatoes in central ware
houses until sales are made at best
prices obtainable, hope to have
similar organizations functioning In
New Jersey, Minnesota, Michigan,
Wisconsin, North and South Dakota,
Idaho, Colorado and Utah by 1924.
Aaron Sapiro, who devised the
pan IOF the OallIOfnla
fruit growers who market their
crops comparatively, is the active
mover behind the potato growers.
The potato plan is similar to that
worked out for tobacco, cotton and
rice planters.
G.. Herbert Foss, secretary OF the
Maine association. said the main
targets for the potato farmers were
the big commission dealers in large
cities. He said the consumer would
not pay any more for his potatoes,
under the cooperative plan, but
that commission houses would get
less. The farmers will get more,
he explained.
The Cooperative Potato Growers
Association has come into existence,
1t was explained, because the grow
ers have lacked warehouses for
storing potatoes, and proper credit
for financing the holding of crops.
So they had to sell their crop at
whatever price was offered at
harvest time in order to meet the
bankers loans and grocery bills.
The commission houses took the
crops, as well as the profits.

ALUMINIUM SCENERY USED
BY GERMAN THEATERS

CHEMNITZ, Saxony, April To-
Aluminium is now being used here
for stage scenery instead of wood.
Hans Eberhard, managing director
of the Chemnitz Opera House, in
troduced the innovation largely be.
cause wood has become SO expensive
in Germany. He also believes the
metal to be more practical, because
it is lighter to handle and does not
offer a fire menace.
Other advantages are that such
scenery can be used on both sides
and any paint decorations put on
it can easily be erased.
