DEADLY GASES AND
 RAYS CALLED FAKES
General Fries Says Reports Are
 Greatly Exaggerated

Washington. Nov. 21.--Published reports of the development of new poison gases with "super-natural powers" of destruction, or of the evE olution Of death dealing rays of ter rible effectiveness, are both "ridicul- ously erroneous" and seriously mis- leading" Brlgadier General Amos A.. Fries, chief of the chemical warfare service, asserts In his annual report recounting the progress made dur ing the last fiscal year by the army chemists
 All known rays and power obey certain definite laws" General Fries said. adding that the same restrc- tions applied as well to gases. Here and there advances are made in un- derstanding those lave and direct ing them: but 1t Is believed proper and safe to say that no real scien- tist can yet foresee the day when such control of these substances Is possible that life and machinery can be destroyed at anything but short distances-distances too short for any considerable use in war"
 General Fries emphasized his statement that it was the business of the chemical warfare service to "keep abreast of all these devel- opments," and to instruct the army and navy In the handling of chem icals of all kinds, In obtaining in- formation as to poisonous chemi- calls. he said the service was expert, adding: Tt has more information on poisonous chemicals than exists in any other institution In America and possibly in the world"
 Emphasizing the uses already found In peace times for this in- formation, General Fries pointed to the development by the service of the theory and method of treating colds and other diseases of the nose. throat and lungs with chlorine gas which had already grown into the establishment of clinics throughout the nation and in the successful ap- plication of the method to curing in- fuenza among horses and cattle.
 Tt Is not a panacea," General Fries said, but wherever the chlorine can reach the germs of the disease in sufficient concentra- tions It will kill them. The most startling side of this work has been its cure of whooping cough. Prac- tically 100 per cent of whooping cough cases have been completely cured, or the distressing symptoms nearly all banished. It is a boon to childhood such as is not found once in generation"
 Another benehcient use found for war chemicals had been the appll- cations of tear gases to assist the police, General Fries said. Like chlorine 1t is a boon to mankind and particularly 10 those who arc charged with the thanklees task of upholding the law in criminal cases.
 General Fries also spoke of the research work in connection with using poisonous compounds to pro- tect wooden structures from marine borers, and the efforts to control boil weevel depredations In cotton states, adding that the opportunities for such work as this through chem ical research are boundless.

EngIishman's Exhibition Shots
5ode III for Jones in Big
Match Today.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 5.-America
meets Britain in golf today.
This battle for supremacy on the
links will be fought on the East
Lake Course with Bobby Jones and,
Arthur Havers acting as the chief
contenders. Jones holds the title
of Americas national open cham.
pion while Havers claims the same
honors in Britain.
A heavy course, a cloudy day
and a large gallery of raincoat-clad
and umbrella-protected spectators
greeted the champions as they de-
clared that nothing other than a
deluge will prevent the match
Play was scheduled to begin at
10 o'clock sharp, the first eighteen
holes to be negotiated in the morn
ing and the final round in the after
noon. A heavy rain Friday has
left parts of the course welcoming
an Aquatic meet rather than q
golf match.
Despite veritable deluge, Havers
gathered an armful Of clubs. yester-
day and the day before and felt
out" the battle ground. Bobby
holds that advantage over the Eng
lishman, for he heard Of, learned
and mastered golf at the spot his
sensational match was to be held
today.
Havers, however, seemed well
pleased with the layout and gave
some exhibition shots which set
Atlantans to wondering If their
idol wouldn't have his hands full in
convincing his opponent that Amer
lea rules Britain as far as golf is
concerned.

ALL NOT WELL
WITH HARRY
WILLS
His Ladylike Hands May Pre-
vent Him From Filling
Contracts.
Rx DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK, April 5.--Although
duly signed to get his first real
action since his Knockout OF Fred
Fulton, four long years ago, 1t is
reported that all is not well with
Harry, Wills, the celebrated study
| in sepia tints. The story is that
Wills trick hand is in such condi-
ton that he may be prevented from
taking on Erminio Spalla, Romero
Rojas or Firpo, the furious, accord
ing to contract, to say nothing
whatever Of Jack Dempsey. Wills
is on the shelf today and may
stay there, they say.
He has been ordered by his physi-
clan to forego his plan to indulge In
light training and will not be al
lowed to put on a glove until May,
If then. This fact would seem to
| lend substance to the charge that
Wills hand, broken in training last
winter, has not set properly and
may require so much attention as
to prevent the tall, dark man from
showing at all during the outdoor
season.
The trouble with Wills Isl that he
has to hang some 215 pounds Of
punching power on the hands Of a
lady. 1t is nothing new that one
of them has become so badly
smashed that he had to retire for
the winter and even now must re-
main idle with a series Of highly
remunerative engagements staring
him in the face. His bout with
BARLEY Madden, for example, has
been postponed so many times that
expert accountants have become
hysterical.
The last time Wills appeared at
the Garden, he made one of his
bad fights and was incapacitated
for months. He stepped out with
one Glen Johnson, colored and
clumsy, and it was not until the
twelfth round that Glenn was con-
strained to play dead. Wills hands
were the answer. They smashed
upon him along about the second
round and thereafter he couldn't
punch hard enough to make a
fedora out of a brown derby.
These hands constitute one Of the
reasons that SO many people believe
Dempsey will win in a round or
two should the pair ever meet. It
is hardly credible that Wills could
land on the champions adanant
pan and not find the hand that
struck the blow hiding somewhere
behind his elbow,

Specie has worked himself during
the past week into the first four
among the Washington pitchers, and
is so considered by Manager Harris.
Jack Chesbro, a star himself in his
big legaue days. was the first to
begin boosting Specie. He tipped
Manager Harris to the possibilities
possessed by Specie, and the young
ster was Immediately given extra op-
portunities to show his stuff. He
made good every time he was called
UPON.
Specie uses an underhand de.
livery. He has been compared to
Carl Mays, but that is all wrong.
Mays uses slow twist, coming up
underhanded when he delivers the
ball. Specie is a fast worker. He
has no twist. He simply lets the
ball go undetermined while facing
the batSman. If American League
batters were accustomed to Mays
they have gained nothing when they
face Specie. The Omaha singer
has system all his own. Facing
Mays is no education for Specie.
Unless he meets with injury be.
