YANKSNEED.
TWO GAMES.

New York baseball fans were
glum today as a result of defeats
suffered by the two Gotham teams
YESTERDAY. The Giants were clawed
by the Cubs again and dropped into
a tie with the st. Louis Cardinals
for second place, while the Yankees
lost q chance to set world s
record when they were defeated
by the Browns after having
trimmed those worthless in twenty
one straight contests this season.
Thirty-five thousand fans were
disappointed when the Yanks were
beaten by Pitcher Milt CASTOR, to
2. Babe Ruth, however, walloped
his fiftieth homer of the season,
placing him five ahead Of Lou
Gehrig and only four behind his
1921 record. The homer gave the
Yanks 141 circuit clouts for the
season, worlds record.
The Hugmen, incidentally, need
only two victories to clinch the
flag.
The Pirates, idle yesterday, now
lead the Giants and Cardinals by
two games, with the Cubs half a
game further in the rear. The
Cardinals are playing the best ball
in the league, having won seven OF
their last ten games. The Cubs
have won five out of ten, while the
Pirates and Giants have won four
and lost three. Previous to Satur-
day New Yrk had won 26 out Of 81.
Carlson and Barnes both were hit
hard in the New York Chicago game
yesterday. Carlson went the route
and won, Z to S, while Barnes was
kayoed in the sixth, when the Cubs
scored six runs. Hack Wilson hit
his twenty.sixth homer, gaining a
tie with Cy Williams for league
home run honors. English fielded
like a flash and made two hits in
Chicago's big innings.

At every session the head-gear

By Louis A. DOugher

There's rest for the weary among
the Griffs today. They've nothing
to do but play golf or go to the
movies or walk through Rock Creek

thing is they don't have to play
ball, this being an open date in the
schedule. And the boys deserve it,
for they put over a smashing
victory yesterday when it was least
expected. The final count was 6-to-
5 in twelve innings when it had
threatened to be 5-to.1 in nine.

JOHNNY HAS
GOOD CAME
By Bingy Bryan

What may be considered q pre-
cedent in golf has been set by a
youngster just turning the age Of
eleven years. He is Johnny Con-
nelly. sometimes caddy. sometimes
player, at East Potomac Park or
Rock Creek.
Johnny first put his foot on
golf course two years ago.
At that time he took no a full
bag of clubs and followed o
player in the capacity as Caddy.
One season of that was enough
to get him interested and that
interest grew until he spOrted
himself one golf club.
From then on he began to play
golf, and practice with mis- one stick
he never tired. Gradually he In"
creased his supply Of clubs from his
earnings as q caddy. As his supply
increased his game grew better. He
shoots East Potomac or Rock Creek
in the very low eishtieS evrey day.
He is looked upon as one of
the outstanding players in the
junior public links tournament
which starts today at Rock
Creek. Quite q large number OF
young golfers have entered the
event, but they cause Johnny
no worry. He knows his game
and his golf, and as he says it:
'They will have to play golf to
put me out this year"
He had his first taste of competi.
ton in the junior public links tour
nament last year when he qualified
with 80 over Rock Creek Park
course. 1t was the first season he
played golf, and If shooting a 30 in
competition with less than one sea-
sons experience isn't something Of
a precedent, then tell US what is in

That "a lad the correct line

that in all the previous Babe

TODEYS SPQRTORIAL
BY krk Miller

Psychology is a quantity very
much in use these days and
times and the sports field is
not its least outlet. Because
of the competitive nature of
athletics, that activity has
quite a share Of psychological
moments to be taken advantage
of by whichever competing ele-
ment grasps the chance. to exer-
else it.
Today, however, we wish to
deal with q different sort of
psychology; the kind which in
fluences and sways people to
do things, rather than the kind
which determines results.
Two weeks ago today when
the Blue and Gray varsity
football candidates took the
field for their first practice
of the season, Lou Little intro
duced q chunk Of psychology
which will long stand out in
our memory, Lou knew by
looking at his squad in the
hotel lobby that he had a COM
paratively lightweight team.
He could have almost burst out
crying while looking at them
and thinking Of Connaughton
and Waite and McGrath of last
year.
But it was Titles Job to
take these understood fellows
and make them into a machine
of Connaughton's and Waite's
and McGrath's driving strength
and Little started doing this
within an hour after breakfast.
The forty-odd men were lined
up on the field in rows about
ten deep and four wide. They
were still undergoing COX" De-
grossa's setting-up exercises as
a sort Of an eyeopener, when
who should trot out on the field
but the manager and three as
sistants, each carrying a big
bunch of head-gears, like fish
on string.
Now, head-pears are made
mostly for scrimmage and
scrimmage usually comes on
the training diet about the Sec
Ond week of practice; but the

greatly exceeded British imports from China BY
the end OF the century, the situation had been re-
versed The character Of the trade had also changed
In the early years, the British merchants sold fin
ished goods ready for use, to the Chinese market.
In the later year, the British manufacturer sold ma
chinery to China, with which the goods fer the Chi
nese market might be produced in China. This point
is well made in recent book British Imperialism
in China written by Elinor Burns and published
in London by the Labor Research Department The
value of British machinery exports to China was
S235000 in 1875; $1475,000 in 1895, and 81 630OO0
in 1910.
In order to enable the Chinese to pay for these
large amounts of capital goods British bankers
loaned money to China. The British share of loans
made to the old Chinese governments is placed at
$2000O0000 This, added to the private British capt.

Another Chinaman, J. C. Yu, writes of the First
Opium War: "China refused to allow Englands I'M
portation of opium. England imposed that importa-
ton on China by force The right and the wrong
are clear. No explanation is necessary"
AS result of the First Opium War; China was
forced to turn Hongkong to Britain. This port
was then used base for opium smuggling UNTIL
at the end of the Second Opium War, which began
in 1856, the opium trade was legalized at the in
sistence of the British.
The First Opium War had another result that was
of great consequence to the future of British eco
nomic relations with China. Four Chinese ports
were "opened" to British traders.
The Opening" of Chinese ports meant that the
Chinese merchant guilds no longer held the mono
poly of trade. Instead they were forced to share
the trading business with foreign merchants. The
plan gave the British merchants an entrance into
the Chinese market. It also laid the basis for an
economic conflict that eventually brought on the
Chinese Revolution of 1911.
British trade with China grew rapidly through
the middle years of the last century The yearly
average 1914 million pounds sterling from 1851
1855; 1913 million pounds from 1-65, and 225
millions from 1871-75 There was a change in the
