FOOTBALL GETS START
FOR NAVY CANDIDATES

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, Aug. The
first gun of the 1925 football sea
son at the Naval Academy was
fired when dozen members Of
the new plebe class reported 20
Lieutenant Commander TalInage
Wilson. the plebe head coach. as
the nucleus Of the squad. He
was assisted by Lieutenant Colonies
Hainberg and Need. The squad
was small, owing to the fact that
most Of the members of the class
are engaged in other branches Of
sport ait present, but there will be
additions as the other sports com
plete their season. There viii te
!. long increase from the field and
track squad, which completes its
season next Saturday. and later ad.
ditions from the baseball, rowing
and lacrosse squads.
The most notable member OF the
squad this afternoon was Paul
Woerner, the 195-pounder, who
played tackle for Swarthmore for
two seasons. Woerner Is also q
fine punter, booting the ball reg
ularly for up to sixty yards, and
is likely to be one Of the mainstays
OF the plebe team this season.

Next Season

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1S.-Jack
Dunn is endeavoring to sign Hank
Gowdy for the rest of the pennant
race and will talk money matters
over with the former Giant receiver
when the Birds arrive in Buffalo
tomorrow.
: Gowdy is a free agent, having
been turned loose by the New York
club and signed by the Columbus
club for the season of 1926. There
seems to be nothing to prevent
Gowdy from finishing this year

If he is unable to sign Gowdy
for any reason, Dunn will have to
depend upon Reds. Mckee to do

proach or at least to use 9.
straight-faced mashie.
These are details Of individual
preference for the player to
solve. The mashie shot with cut
and spin applied to the ball
must Of course be used if there
is high bunker guarding the
green In order that the ball
will fall dead or practically 50.
To execute this shot the club
head must skim right under the
ball, taking little turf, and at
the instant Of impact the club
face should be drawn toward the
left foot to give the cut. This
is shot which requires much
practice and dexterity.
In mashie play, as with all
other clubs, advise my readers
to follow the plan of solitary
practice. One cannot practice
even when playing q friendly
round.

Rather late in life, but with the
buoyancy Of youth these two in
teresting men turn to new pur-
suits. Mr.. HALEY has just reached
forty-eight. Mr.. Carroll, in appear
ance, is nliddle-aged. Optimistic ten
denotes mark the characters or both.
Their common attitude is that the
bigger life is before them.
1t was long ago that Harry Car
roll confessed to a craving to argue
before the bar. He did not say
that this were far more interesting
than disputing with hard-to please
bowIers. One guessed this to be
true, however.
81 look forward to the time
when can turn this business
over to some one else and be free
to practice law" said the bowling
magnate, at that time.
And today, some years later,
he added. "And now I've found
the right man to handle this
enterprise"
Mr.. Carroll will find many to
back his judgment. A successful
bowling manager is something more
than a business man. He deals
with sport and not infrequently Is
called upon to exercise judgment
as a sportsman and at the same
time keep a weather eye on bust
ness.
The forces Of circumstances and
inclination over long period of
life have nodded H. B. HALEY into
a business man and a sportsman
with sort of triple standing in
the community. He has been re.
garded as business man of sound
Judgment: sportsman never
wrong on point Of fairness and
an estimable gentleman taken by
and large.
From this it would appear that
he is peculiarly fitted for his new
position.
For the last fifteen years or So,
MIR. HALEY has been a leader Of
bowlers. In that time he has
ever been a powerful influence
/ for the good Of the sport. At
this time he Is president Of the
great Masonic League, having
been elected before becoming as
ISOLATED with the game in a bust
ness way.
At a meeting Of the leagues cap.
tains the other night he explained
his change of status and then re-
signed as president. Whereupon
the league voted that it had a
darned good president in Harry b.
HALEY, taken by and large, and re.
fused to let him quit.
And now he is in the interesting
position of president OF league
that will bowl its games on alleys
other than those managed by him.
The Masons will perform this com.
| ing season on the new Convention
Hall runways.
They have a penchant, It seems,
for brand-new drives. When the
big Kingpin was established in Mt.
Pleasant they rolled there. Then
they helped christen the Coliseum.

MAY Sc I RAP

Kearns Would Further Conn

BY DAVIS j. WALSH
international News Service Sports

Editor
NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.The cat
may be let out Of the bag for a
little airing today. il and when
Jack Kearns stops around to the
New York boxing commission, posts
a forfeit of SIS, 900 and signs Jack
Dempsey to meet Harry Wills III
this State. An empty gesture
though it may be, this action will
catch Willis and Paddy Mullins on
their flat feet, for if they decline
to play along, they viii have gone
on record as having refused to
meet Dempsey here and the Local
commission can then drop the case
with an easy conscience.
If they do decide to play ball
with the local board, Dempsey lcan
and probably will say that they
ran out on him in connection with
the Michigan City hocus pocus and
wash his hands of the affair.
They cannot string along with
both propositions because Demp-
sey-Wills agreement here would re-
Quire the posting of a substantial
forfeit, which could not be re
claimed in the event that Floyd
Fitzsimmons managed to line up
some capital and the Michigan City
date became definite.
All in all, it looks as though
Mullins has taken another one on
the chin while Dempsey and Kearns
are swinging at each other.
Everything, of course, rests upon
what Kearns does today. He. has
said that he will go through with
the business, which might furnish
good reason to believe that he will
not. You copper" your bets whe,:
listening to boxing man: other
wise, you soon will cease to bet at
all.

AND AFTER
By ROSS CoNKLIN-

Bobby Barnett, sandy-hajred
professional at Chevy Chase, is
ordinarily q very temperate
young man on the links. He will

display Of temper, but when
Bobby really has grievance with
his putter, his driver or some
other stick in his weighty bag,
then he goes the limit.
Bobby was playing in the pro-
fessionaI tournament on the Colun1-
bia. links and he was going fairly
wen. Just as q string snaps, so
snapped his game and when his
putter aided the general demorali-
-zstion. Bobby began to get read
headed instead Of sandy haired.
One foul putt after another found
its way into his bag. On the first
three greens in the afternoon he
had nine puts.
Thinks Bobby to himself well,
on this fourth hole, I'm going to
do better. He was well on with
his tee shot, and he missed his
first putt. His second also was
prOdigaI, and when he had to take
q third putt, making his fourth
straight three-putt green, he
heaved the offending club into
the woods. His cadGlie went after
it.

putted out. The writer looked for
it an hour and then gave up.
Jimmy Davis, the longest driving
amateur in the city, and Karl KEEL

OF their own on the Columbia links
daily. Davis has stopped knocking
the ball out of sight and instead is
content with 800 yard drives. His
iron game is going better and he Is
shooting fine golf.
One day recently, Davis was going
like a house afire. He shot
proud rs at Columbia, only to find
out that he had to play off Young
Mr.. Kellerman, who had a par score.

and then has to pay off, one is in

In playing with the mashie we
are called upon for the ordinary
mashie shot, which calls simply
for a judgment of the force
necessary to put into the stroke
and control; then there is the
chip shot with the mashie; and
there is the special nashie shot.
In the ordinary mashie shot
the players should rely on the
club to give the ball loft and
not make a strenuous effort to
get under it. This last is one
Of the common faults of golfers.
In the running up approach
the ground outside the putting
green must be good, otherwise
the chip shot should be en-
ployed to get over the rough.
Some players prefer an APP
preaching iron rather than
mashie for the running up APP

SOUTH AMERICAS PROBLEM

(Genaro Arbaiza, South American
journalist and editor. in Current
History Magazine)
No question facing South Amer
lea today is more momentOus than
that of Asiatic immigration. Start
ing with 100000 Japanese settlers
in Latin America in less than two
decades Japanese emigration to
that region, if unrestricted, may
give rise to mcmentous consequen-
ces. The Japanese population at
home grows at the rate of about Il
million a year, and Manchuria.
Korea, Hawaii and other territOr-
les that have attracted Japanese
emigrants heretofore do not offer
an inducement comparable to that
of tropical America. The influx Is
likely to increase in the latter d.
rection now that Asia has discov-
cred the New Worlts
Peru, the main point of penetra-
ton, has had another Asiatic i'm
migration. that Of Chinese, since

assimilated by the brown masses
A Japanese mass immigration
however, would present an alto
gether different and vastly more
portentous problem. Should the
Japanese come by the hundreds OF
thousands to a country like Peru
there coulG hardy be assimilation
by the native elements, but the re
verse process may take place. Tho
presence of a powerful Mongolia
group may therefore tend to alb
sorb the Indian and -lberian
population.

UNFAIR TO
INSURGENTS"

If it was ."party secession" for
the elected congressional insurgents
not to vote for Coolidge, why was it
not equally SO for their electors not
to support his policies?
Surely the essential thing was not
that Coolidge personally got the
job" but that his policies be carried
out in government.
In this sense, the very leaders of
the caucuses which rejected the in
surgents have themselves, been gull
ty.
The late Senator Lodge, as Senate
floor leader, was the principal OBJ
structor Of Coolidge's foreign poll
cies, and Nicholas Longworth, who
left the insurgents names off the
House caucus list, himself led the
House Republicans in shelving Cool
idge's taxation policy. e ,-.a
The Republican national conven.
tion expressly made the Coolidge
policies, and not the congressional
opposition to them, the official party
doctrine.
If "party disloyalty" is to be q
ground of exclusion at all. botf
sides have been guilty Of it.
The insurgents may have forfeited
their party rights. but the forfeiture
should have been declared by some
one not guilty of the same offcnse.
