Pilsudslxi has suffered a breakdown
as the result Of his energies in
establishing q coup.
The marshal was unable to at

The Bartel government Is function
ing today and Poland. SO far as
the national capital Is concerned,
again appears to be at peace.
More Trouble Foreseen
There Is no denying. however,
that further political troubles are
in store and the BarteI ministry's
life may be b. short one.
The situation is expected to clear
next week when the national as
sembly win meet to elect presi-

Reports that General Haller has
raised an army and Is marching on
Warsaw are again officially de-

Barte1 government and that there
Is no danger OF any further at

ever, over the possible political
action that the group in Posen

The Jones versus Hagen ele-

previously, also was crowd

Even the presence of Gum will
not detract anything from the gem

championship at Oakmont last year,
IN addition to giving a generally

However, the man who thinks

Track Too Long,

PHILADELPHIA, July 4
The Municipal Stadium erected
two records yesterday, either u
which makes its mark as novel
in athletics. First, the crowd
wasn't more than 800, which iii
the smallest gathering that ever
witnessed . major event Of such
Importance in the history Of
these United States.
Then somebody discovered
that the track was too long,
hence a controversy arose over
the records which were made.
The inside lane of the oval was
discovered to be 444 yards long,
running larger until it. reached
457 yards on the outer lane.
Hence the athletes who made
such remarkable time and who
not only conquered Father Time,
but their own rivals, may be
cheated of these records BE-
CAUSE THE DISTANCHS

Now beat that last one.

If Won Elm hasn't burnt him

watching ut Scioto Willie Mac

gone back since his victory of
last year and the worst hazard
he faces is that Of being the
defending champion he has
everything to lose.
A discussion of the probable
outcome of the American open
should not be concluded with
out q mention of one or two
others. Leo Diegel is a deter

fame and Johnny Farrell must
have greater future ahead
than his illustrious past.
Tommy Armour, our own
Congressional pro, is another
who is conceded to be a conner,
and wouldn't it please Wash
ington if this were his year?
His showing abroad was moth
ing to be Sneezed at and sooner
or later he is going to make his
imprint on the national golfing
surface.
Wild Bill Mehlhorn left Wash

determination to swing himself
into the forefront of this years

is taking the Columbus tourney

Since winning the championship

say, "due to arrive"
Jones is just as good a bet
as Smith except that he must
have had the edge taken off
his game and is more than
likely stale. 1t would be
beautiful thing to see Bobby

champion-it hardly seems prob
able.
One can never tell what Wal

club or otherwise. He is dam
gerous whenever he is in the
same State with a tournament.
He wanders far from the fair
ways, but is guilty of pulling
marvellous spurts which drive
the galleries dizzy and the field
into deleriums. Just when every
one thinks he has slipped out of

and thereby focuses all the more
attention to his eccentric per-
sonality and game.
