For that matter, the Apaches
have been confident for the last
three years. When fighting their
way up to the unlimited class they
gave the Mohawk and Mercury
Clubs all they could handle in the
last two campaigns and in the case
of Mercury, the youngsters from
southeast dealt more than they
took. They beat Mercury twice
last year.
This was a humiliation still felt
by the Mercury Club and doubt
s lessIy contributed to the lax
attitude that marked the Winged
Foot squad when doe Ganey,
Mercury boss until recently, called
out the gang for first practice.
Ganey took sharp note Of the
clubs low spirit and lacked up as
chief. Willie Thomas stepped into
his place and is plugging to pull
Mercury out of the slough.
It looks dark for Mercury now,
but Thomas sees silver lining in
the cloud that wasn't discernible to
Clancy, a chap who carried a heavy
years, fought the same old fight
season after season and succeeded.
There is much that may be said
to Ganey's credit. He gave UP
finally because be thought the
reward wasn't worth the effort.
Thomas. believes that Mercury
will be its old self when the foot
ball fever climbs q bit: that the
boys eventually will rally to the
old standard and carry on.
Whether they do or not depends
much on Thomas. III the star
players put mp the money yell as
loud to him as they did to Ganey,
even Thomas may lose his en-
thusiasm.
In the meantime. the Mohawks,
too, are slow getting under way.
Some OF the "old boys" of the
Indians eleven are not so sure
they are capable OF another stiff
campaign.
Judging from the trend of sand
lot affairs, there will be three clubs
In the championship fight-Apache,

for this years championship event
Before the event was inaugurated
the pessimists were bemoaning the
fact that Miss Colett could never
survive the jinx that has followed
all champions through this fatal
month of September. But the Provi-
dence girl merely laughed at the
dire predictions OF the critics and
went blithely out to do her best in
the qualifying round.
When she returned from jour
ney over the hills, bunkers and
streams that abound at Merton she
had compiled a total of 81 strokes
and captured the medal with little
apparent effort. Now as the med
alist she has added another jinx 10

dope out the event, but several
things happened out on the Merton
course that were very unexpected.
In the first place, Louise Fordyce,
holder of the North and South cham
pionship. and considered to be one
of the strongest contenders for the
title, fell far in the rear OF the
struggling stars and did not even
qualify. What Is more, Miss For
dyce did not even break 100, turning
in a score of 101 for the 1S-hole
test.
Then Ruth Anne Perry was also
left by the wayside. Miss Perry,
just back from a trip to Europe,
was expected to he in the thick OF
the fight for the title, but her score
OF SO was much too high to get her
into select company and she VIII

from the sidelines for the balance

A deadlock of SO was the limit
for the qualifying test, and all un-
der these magic figures prepared
for the match play rounds that
start this morning. Several great
players made the grade, while sew

joined Miss FOrdyce and Miss
Perry In the list of alsO-rans.

Close behind the leaders were

Seemingly, it hasn't occurred to
anyone that managerial workman
ship will be neatly and quickly
done, with an utter lack of re-
sponsibility for goods left over
thirty days by man who once
was master and another once his
pupil.
Rogers HOrnsby was just a kid
recruit when he reported to the
Cardinals i'm 1915 and Miller Hug

come the greatest man on. e lar

cur Mr.. Higgins, meantime, was
permitted to go hence l:ithout
apparent regret, to seek his Tor
tune in the great city.
Before he departed, however. he
turned his attention to Hornsby
and, in. a moment of weakness,
changed the young mans batting
stance and made of him Vat

he isn't the worst and it would be

proved the undoing OF the Yankees,

aforementioned Higgins of the
bright, CHEEKY and winning ways.
Mr.. Huggins probably would laugh
heartily-as soon as he got around
to it.
The writer likes the Higgins
versus Hornsby equation equally
as well as that featuring Hornsby
and Ruth exchanging intermittent
base hits. In the first place, Hug
gins and Hornsby are radical Up-
Dosites. yet both won pennants with
ball clubs OF considerable simi'

Although the clubs arrived at
the given point through the same
prOcess-hiffing and pitching
the two teams reflect the manner

attitude on the field. The Cards
form one of those magpie ball

sumo operations Monday after MAX
ing price adjustments. Heads of
other prominent automobile concerns
assert that their plants will continue
in operation until a definite course
of action is decided on.
An official of the Toronto Automo-
bile Trade Association declares; that
unless rebates to the motor trade on
unsold new and used cars now on
hand are made the tariff provisions
will mean that $500 Canadian dealers
must take a loss of $5,100.000.
After meeting of the automotive
industries of Canada yesterday,
statement was issued saying in part:
THE whole of the protection af-
forded to the automobile indutry has
been wiped out in one stroke. 1t is the
unanimous view of those present that
the budget is disastrous to the In
dustry and threatens both domestic
and export trade. The automotive in.
dustry finds itself today with its en-
tire protection removed against the
mass production of American fac
tories and with an actual premium on
imported cars"
Announcement was made in Mon
treal yesterday by Col. John Cooper,
president of the Motion Picture Dis
tributors of Canada, that local dis
tributors had been instructed from
New York to take no more orders for
the presentation of films in Quebec
after August /. He said that Que
bees motion picture censorship was
the worst in the world. Films accept
able anywhere else were cut by the
censorship board. Therefore there
was no use in trying to do business In
Quebec.

Democrats, led by Senator McKellar,

useless. The Tennesseean said it cost

"One good lawyer and stenographer

had collected millions of dollars for
the Government and had large cases

In New York City four of these lit

who is fully equipped to handle such
work in Washington, has met with
many difficulties in getting her plan

TORONTO. Ontario, April IT,
American automobiles and motion pic
lures were main points of discussion
in Canada today.
Fear is expressed that tariff reduc-
tions on motor cars, effective yester-
day, will work great injury upon the
Canadian manufacturers.
Montreal and other cities in Quebec
face the prospect of having their mo-
ton picture houses closed after Aug
ust l owing to threat by American
film distributors to decline to ship in
their product in the face Of the pre-.
vailing censorship.
Exactly what effect the tariff reduc-
ton on motor cars will have on the
Canadian industry has not been de-
termined. 1t is the opinion, however,
that it will work greatly to the advan-
tage Of the American car builders and
that the local industry, with it's tariff
protection removed, will be faced by
the mass production of American fac
tories. The reduction in the tariff pro-

BOSTON, April 17-Counsel for
Mrs. Ida NJ. Blankenburg of Tulsa,
Okla. claimant of the estate of Lotta
Crabtree, Boston actress. yesterday
renewed before the Supreme Court
their battle begun in the Suffolk Pro-
bate Court. Judge Pierce of the
higher court was asked to order
Judge William Prest, probate judge,
to furnish a complete record of pro-
ceedings in which he dismissed Mrs.
Blankenburg's claims and sentenced
her to Jail for contempt.
At the close of a hearing in Pro-
bate Court to determine whether
Mrs. Blankenburg was. as she MAIN
tanned. the daughter of Lotta Crab
tree, Judge Prest ruled that the
claimant and her brother. John w
Crabtree. had perpetrated fraud
upon the court and obstructed jus
tice. The woman was sentenced to
six months in Jail for contempt, but
later was released on $4,000 bail and
returned to Oklahoma.
The record of the Probate Court
proceedings was sought to support a
petition already filed in the higher
court for a writ of error to review
the findings of Judge Prest. Counsel
claimed that if perjury was COM
mitted grand jury action was the
proper procedure. 1t also was
claimed that Judge Prest stepped out
of his judicial position to do Mrs.
B1ankenburg IAN unwarranted and
untustifiable wrong" In his ruling
the Judge said:
"The case is pockmarked with
fraud. There is no mistaking it,"
The petition represented that Mrs

asked that Suffolk County be re-
quired to pay for the records sought.
