RAY; DUNCAN
OF ENGLAND TO
|ENTER TOURNEY
These Two Golfers Are In.
vading Favorites to Cop
Title at OakmOnt
ny JIMMY POWERS

Oakmont Country Club, Pa, June
lO.-(NEA) --American golfers have
not cornered the market on color and
temperament. Think Of Ted Ray, the
battle-worn veteran, and George
Duncan, the Flying Scot, two OF the
British stars, who are in America Tor
international honors and the national
open. ;,
Ted Ray has one Of the most bril-
liant golfing records in English his.
tory, and Duncan has q record OF
great playing that few veterans OF
the game can equal.
When not winner, Ray has crowd
ed the winners. Among his notable
triumphs he won the British open
in 1912 and the American open in
1920. Three times did he win the
northern section tournament, in 1906,
1905 and 1911. On nine occasions
did he represent England against
Scotland. Second and third were his
stations in the French champion
ships Of 1910, 1911 and 1919. And
remember that he tied for the Amer
lean open championship in 1913 but
lost in the playoff.
Winner Of Many Matches
That's not all. He has won the
footing cup, the Hertfordshire cham
pionship several times, the Daily
Mail tournament, which is equal to
our p. G. A., championships, and var
ious other tournaments, as we'll as
making six holes in zone.
Now for George Duncan. There
will be no preliminary gestures when
George steps up to tee in the u. S.
omen here. A fleeing glance down
he fairway, squirt at the ball,
and, without seconds hesitation,
the pellet will be soaring towards the
tag.
Delay would be fatal to q man Of
Duncah's nervous tension. He must
find quick relief for the energy taut-
ly keyed for the immediate shot: II
he doesn't, the shot~will be fluffed,
that's all. That is Duncan--he must
release his explosive effort before
sonan foreign element annoys him.
Duncan's nerves are not exactly q
detriment, nor does he have to fight
them always as does Leo Diegel
Duncan exemplifies the theory that
temperament and genius go hand in
hand.
Some Low Scores
Instances of his meteoric finales
were his II and " to win the British
open in 1920: his 60 in the last
round of that event in 1922 when HI
tried to overtake Walter Hagen;

true form in an American open, how
ever. W
Surely. you understand. that there
no American monopoly on the tw'
characteristics, color and tempera

Mechanical Spider
Shoots New CObwebs
Instead of Bullets

Universal City, CAL. March 8-(AP)
The movies have developed new
deadly weapon.
1t looks like a cross between an
automatic pistol, a blunderbuss and
an electric fan; but it is none Of
these.
1t is a mechanical spider. and It
kills time. The "cobwcb machine"
it is called. In 10 minutes it can
add centuries to the appearance of
room. 1t kills time" so fast
that it does the work Of millions Of
spiders in few minutes.
Mechanically. the new device is
something like candy floss ma
chine. Power is furnished by an
electric motor, which revolves at
high speed a shaft on which are Il
fan and magazine containing a
viscous fluid which strings out into
cobwebby forms as il is sprayed
into the path Of the fans breeze.
The device puts cobwcbs on a
quantity production basis.

at noon. All this, moreover, leaves
out of consideration the other arms
possessed by the Indians, such as
lances, bows and arrows, stone clubs,
tomahawks and knives - weapons
which would have been deadly enough
In the close combat of q charge. A
dozen times the Indians could have
overrun Reno's and Benteen's lines.
Several times it seemed that they
were on the point of attempting to
do 80. They refrained; and when
they learned that force of only 400
men, most Of them walking SOL
diers," was coming up the river, they
decamped. The Indians have given
various reasons for their want of
enterprise in this battle. The lack
of ammunition" excuse rarely APP
pears. They seem not to have thought
Of it until it was suggested to them
BY friendly white men. Mclaughlin,
who knew more than any other white
man about the Indian side of the
battle, says that most Of the war
riors deserted the field in the early
evening of the 25th because they
preferred taking part in the celebra-
ton in the village to taking scalps,
and that the fact of the Indians
greater fear of infantry than of
cavalry caused them to decamp on
the 26th.
S. You say that the Indians side
Of the case has been SO little heard
that mere statement of it "may seem
like like undue laudation.' You forget
that thousands of pages have been
given to the Indians side Of the case,
not merely as to the Custer battle but
as to the cause Of the Indian gen.
orally. 1t has been the fashion for
some years to present what is called
"thc Indians side." My complaint re-
garding your book is that it does not
content itself with "mere statement
Of the case," but that on every
controverted point it makes asscr-
tions favorable to the Indian and
almost never c0unterbalances them
with the known facts favorable to
the white. You are aware, Of course,
that the Chivington massacre has an-
other side, stoutly upheld by good
men. am making no defense of
Chivington. l am saying merely that
when that story Is rightly told it
must be told in the light Of all the
facts. In all such cases, It seems to
me, you give one side only, and that
to degree SO extreme that it can
not be accepted by scholars.
Members Questioned
With one more instance I must
close this too extended letter. You
say in your book that the general
IL accepted number" Of the Indian
warriors. 1t the Little Big Horn was
approximately $500. You are Of
course, perfectly within your rights
In choosing to accept that number.
But strongly dispute your right TO
say that the number IL generally

ing the lifetime of most of the parti-
cipants. A few persons are fighting

4. You write: "Your reviewer has
accepted without question the con.
clusion, wholly unwarranted, that the
Indian. generallS. was better armed
than the white soldier" l reply
that ! have neither said, nor have
even thought, anything Of the kind.
The only expression used on the
whelmed by sheer weight of numbers
should have enabled the Indians to
annihilate Reno on the same day or
the one following, and Terry on the
third day" You say that the Indian
lack Of persistence on this occasion
was undoubtedly Imposed by the
lack Of ammunition" reply that
neither you nor any other white man
has any definite Knowledge on that
subject; that the Indian testimony
in the matter is SO conflicting as to
have no value, and that the state
ment is a mere assumption.
We have no reason to suppose that
the Indians had exhausted or serious
ly drained their stock of ammunition.
1t is entirely reasonable to suppose
that they captured, from the saddle
bags Of the horses and from the APP
proximately 2iO bodies Of men that
fell within their lines, more ammuni-
ton than they expended in the bat
tie. On the Custer part Of the field
they must have expended very little.
That this captured ammunition could
be used only in Springfield carbines
and Colt revolvers is true; but the
Indians had added to their stock Of
weapons some $40 of each of these
arms. It is thus quite likely that
they were better equipped at sun
set of the 18th than they had been

Prime Minister
Baldwin Enjoys
Stage Thrillers

London, March 8 R)-Britain's
Prime Minister when he goes to the
theatre is almost boy all over
again. The Right Honorable Stanley
Baldwin enjoys "thrillers" just as
much now. in his 6lst year, as he did
AS Il youngster at Harrow.
As playgoer Mr.. Baldwin enters
into the spirit Of the occasion with
all his heart, and the Chinese stu
alton and all other questions Of state
are east out Of his mind. for the
time being at least This is one Of
his chief means Of recreation.
Mrs. Baldwin and daughter Betty
usually accompany him even to the
"thrillers." The Prime Minister is
fond Of telling what "a difficult task
he has to persuade Mrs. Baldwin to
see melodrama as she much prefers
something more serious. such as
Macbeth"
Reads Program
a second after Mr.. Baldwin gets
into his box he is wrapped up in the
program. First he runs down the
list Of characters, and the acts, then
casionally. He also pcruscs the ad-
iulSucu WIN thISs
MIR. Baldwin chances out over the sea
of faces. most of them which are
turned upon him. and sort of nerv-
Ously and anxiously watches the cur
tain in anticipation Of its rising.
As the curtain goes up, Mr.. Bald
win is all attention. Nothing escapes
him. He leans over in his seat, and
as he gradually gets into the play
he bends more and more forward and
rests his chin in the palm Of one
hand and then the other.
When there is wit or a joke which
strikes his funny bone. the Prime
Minister straightens up--so that he
may laugh heartily. If he doesn't do
that. perhaps in a moment of tense
ness on the stage, he likes to nudge
Miss Betty with his elbow, or if there
is man on his left or right, he
pokes him with his point
finger which moves this way and
that during his political speeches.
Gets the Point Quickly
Mr.. Baldwin grasps the good lines

that the Indian was a fighter, but
not q soldier. This seems like a
contradiction Of terms" 1t is no
contradiction. A Bowery thug or a
western bad man" may be u most
desperate fighter and yet have none
Of the qualities Of soldier. That
certain eminent commanders paid
tribute to the fighting qualities Of
the Indian does not settle the mat
ter. You are aware, I presume, that
the practice Of praising the valor If
the defeated enemy is as old as
human history; aware, also, pre-
sumo, that praise Of the vanquished
incidentally heightens the glory Of
the victor. No one Of these command.
ers would have hesitated to attack
an Indian force two or three times
stronger than his own. What fight
er really thinks Of the qualities of
an antagonist Is to be judged BY his
willingness to attack that antagonist
under the handicap Of numbers and
position.
Sometimes A Coward
3. You write. paraphrasing a
statement Of mine, 1.-THE Indian want
ed odds; and you add to it the
comment: "Truc enough, perhaps;
but does that detract from his stand
ing as a fighter? The white man
also wanted Odds" You miss the
point entirely. The history Of the
white man is full Of incidents Of at
tack in the face of odds-in battles
with men of his own race as we'll as
with savages. The known history of
the red man reveals hardly a single
such incident. In certain respects
and under certain circumstances the
Indian was n coward--a fact that
so strongly impressed Parkman.
Others, who knew the Indian even
better. have borne like testimony.

and the Rosebud fights and the
several engagements of Joseph's re-
