Paper From Bagasse.
THE manufacture of paper fir,

THE manufacture of paper from
bagaSse, the dry refuse OF sugar
cane after the juice has been cx-
pressed, has often been advocated
but never accomplished on conf
mercial scale. The increased cost OF
wood pulp has stimulated experiments
for solving this problem. 1t has long
been known that excellent paper can
be made from sugar cane fiber, but
the difficulty has been to preserve the
fiber intact while extracting the juice
for sugar making. The present ma
chinery outs and tears the fiber So
that the bagasse is fit only for fuel.
Some time ago there was organized
in this country a company which has
constructed a large plant to make
practical test of a patented process,
for expressing the juice and conserv~
ing the fiber and pulp for paper. The
fiber is separated from the pulp b.
machinery. and then by evaporation
the water is eliminated leaving the
dry fiber and pulp containing the
solids and sucrose, from which sugar
is made. The fiber and pulp are then
baled separately for shipment TO the
United States, where the sugar is e&
tracted by diffusion.
BY this treatment the fiber is un-
injured and can be- used in making
high-grade paper at a considerable
saving, as compared with the cost
of wood pulp. The residue from the
pulp is also suitable for low-grad-
paper 1t is claimed that the prelim
mary tests have proved successful.
and that in addition to preserving
the bagasse for paper manufactured
larger percentage of sucrose is on
tanned than Is possible by the old
methods Of extraction in sugar
houses.

NOT
HELD BACK BY
WEATHER
OIdtime Baseball Fans Think
Weather Gag Is Grand
Piece of Bunk

"I have been amused" says an
old baseball man, Eat the argument
put forth by many fans and writers
about the effect OF the weather
on the baseball player. Most Of
that is just bunk. The clubs have
been playing now for two months.
They have settled down just about
as much as they are going to set.
tie. This idea that when the hot
weather comes the veteran will
timber up and show great improve
ment is something which has been
predicted for years, but 1t never
comes through. The veteran plays
as well in June as he does In
August.
Grover Alexander, Walter John.
son, Dutch Ruether, Eddie Collins,
and many others do not have to
wait for hot weather to play their
normal game. They start to play
as soon as the occasion demands it.
As a matter Of fact the warm
weather is harder on the veteran
than it is on the young players:
Baseball is not played by the cal.
endar or the temperature. A
good player can play at any time. "
Which brings UP the point that
to tn eend of the season. Baseball
Of the most unusual in years, IN
asmuch as the races in both leagues
are going to be in doubt right up
to the end Of the seasan. Baseball,
like every other sport, goes in
cycles. The Giants and the Van.
KEGS cannot hope to keep on win
ming forever.
They are going to be stopped
some time and after their long 70
journ OF supremacy the change Is
apt to come at any time. The
transition Of a fairly good ball
club into pennant winner is
sometimes a process which is hard
to detect. The sudden arrival of
one or two players at the top of
their form is likely to bring the
change at any time.
The failure of the. Yankees and
Giants to get out in front and stay
there, as they have in other wears,
is not due to the fact they are
not just as powerful as they were
a year ago. It is due to the fact
that after q few seasons of play
ing under dog in the pennant races
a few Of the clubs this season have
been seized with the will to win
and they are expressing 1t in vic.
tories.

ARCHERY AID To.
TOUGHEN|NC
HANDS
Jock Malone, Introducing
Scheme, Cites Custom
of Indians

A brand new scheme Of strength
ening a boxers hand mas been in
troduced by Jock Malone. the st.
Paul boxer. He has taken up arch.
cry and says that constant practices
with the bow and arrow has made
his hands and wrists so strong that
he will not be afraid to let his fists
fly in future bouts. Broken bones
in the hands seem to be the great
drawbacks of the present-day boxer.
The English trainers say that ths
present method of bandaging is re-
sponsible. They point out that the
bandages are so tight the resil.
iency of the bones is lost.
Malone points out that the In
dams in the old days had powerful
hands and wrists because they used
the bow and arrow. He might also
point out Robin Hood. who was a
pretty fair serapper and used a bow
and arrow all the time. Many of
the present-day trainers, however,
will tell you that boxers break their
hands because they do not know
how to hit properly. Their blows,
instead of landing on the spots
where they are directed, go astlay
and collide with hard bones of the
arms, shoulders and head.
OF all the present-day fighters,
there is only one who has never
complained of broken hands. That
is Jack Dempsey. He is one Of
the hardest hitters the ring has
ever known. and his blows are also
shorter than those of any of his
no
Injuries his hands because he knows
how to hit. The wild swings of a
Firpo or Carpenter landing on
the wrong spot do more to injure
hands than a dozen rounds of fight
ing by the correct method.
They are offering the explanation
that the blows of Harry Wills were
not more effective against BARLEY
Madden because Wills was saving
his hands. Wills is known to have
brittle hands, but he didn't appear
to have much regard for them
against Madden. There were mo.
ments of that bout when Wills would
direct his right against Madden's jaw
and Madden would swing half way
around to avoid it. On these occa-
sions Wills right landed flush
against Madden's shoulder blade. A
blow like. that isn't calculated to help
hand with brittle bones.
A more reasonable explanation
would be that Wills was unable to
solve Madden's peculiar ring style.
Madden is one Of those boxers whose
first idea is to prevent the other
fellow from using his favorite meth
DDS against him. Madden didn't once
let Wills fight his own style.

AMERICA FIRST
IN GOLF Of
NATIONS
ACHIEVEMENTS, However, Are
Crowded Into Brief Space
Of Thirty Years

Americas greatest golf achieve.
ments are\ crowded into the thirty
years of the national open. Golf il
a comparatively new game here,
and Its traditions are centered in
the British Isles. However, since
the open was first played at st.
Andrews, at Mount Hope, in 1894,
the sport has grown so fast that
the United States has become the
first golfing nation of the world.
In that short time this country
has exhibited more interest than
any other country could inspire in
century.
When the tournament was played
at Mount Hope, Willie Dunn won
in match play from w. Campbell,
Q up. The following year the
turnament went to Newport with
thirty-six holes Of medal play. Here
the winner was Horace Rawlins.
The event was heightened to sew
enty.two holes at Myopia In 1898.
In 1900 Golf had aroused the curl
osity of the British golfers to the
extent that Harry Vardon came
over and won at Wheaton, with
]. HI. Taylor as runner-up. Willie
Anderson won the title in 1901,
1908, 1904 and 1905.
The competition then began to
get so keen that since that time
only one player has been able to
win the title twice. That was j.
j, McDermott, who took 1t in 1911
and 1912.
The first amateur to make an
impression in the open was Walter
Travis, who in 1902 was tied for
second place with Stewart Gardner
at Garden City when the title was
won by Lawrence Auchterlonie Of
Glen View. Francis Ouimet was
the first amateur to win the title
when at Brookline, in 1918, he de-
feated Vardon and Ray in the play.
off. In 1914 Walter Hagen won
the open for the first time at Mid.
lothian. That was the year that
Chick Evans was runner.up. The
next year saw another amateur,
Jerome Travers, come to the top
with a victory at Baltusrol.
The following season saw one Of
the greatest accomplishment in
American golf, when Chick Evans
took the title at Minikahda, Min.
neapolis, with the remarkable score
of 2S6 for the seventy.two-hole
journey. Evans score was two
under par and has never been
equaled in the event. The pros
have been shooting at this mark
ever since, but, with the heightened
courses Of the present day, it is
doubtful If the mark will ever be
equaled. Last year, on the mar.
row, difficult Inwood course, Jones
and Cruickshank were tied at 296.
