LEAVES
FOR WEST TONIGHT
Decision Announced After
Mrs. CooIidge's Condition
Shows Improvement.

Mrs. Coolidges condition was i'm
proved to such an extent today that
it was decided the presidential party
would leave Washington tonight for
Brule. Wis, where the Summer White
House will be located.
In making official announcement that
the Baltimore 81 Ohio special train
which is to take the party to Wisconsin
would leave at the same time 1t was
scheduled to leave last Monday night
the White House said that Mrs. Coolidge
was feeling considerably better than at
any time since the recurrence Of her
illness and that, she personally was es-
pecially anxious TO undertake the jorr-
uey.
President Consults Physicians.
The decision was not made. however.
until noon and then only after the
President had conferred for some time
with Lieut.. Comdr Joel T. Boone. medl-
cal officer of the Mayfiower. Mrs. Cool
idge's. personal physician, and Col.
James @. Coupal, the Presidents ply
sician. The President was assured that
Mrs. Coolidge had gained considerably
in strength, that her spirits were muc n
better and that there was no doubt
about her being able TO make the trip
without any serious complications.
The President spent the greater part
of the morning with Mrs, Coolidge. He
did not 90 to his desk in the execu-
tive office until ii o'clock and then re-
mained only long enough to dispose OF
an insignificant amount OF business
and to confer with some Navy ana
Marine Corps officials regarding the
Nicaraguan situation and TO receive
Carranza, the Mexican hyer who landed
here late, yesterday.
Greets Mexican Flyer.
The President has always manifested
a keen interest In aviation and has
contributed much toward its develop
ment. but he was unusually interested
in this young flyer from south OF the
Rio Grande. He is known TO have fol-
lowed his course with considerable In
terest and was happy to have had the
opportunity to meet him personally.
It is expected that the presidential
special will arrive at its destination in
Wisconsin early Friday morning.
President Coolidge has been so great
ly concerned about Mrs. Coolidge's con-
dition that he has given little thought
TO a blister on his right heel and as
result he was walking today with
slight limp. His physician has treated
IL and pronounced that 1t was nothing
serious and that there was no danger
OF infection.

classic. played that year at the
Royal st. Georges Club. Sandwich.
Chick was then "a years old, be-
lieve, and he was going great guns.
Indeed. he was the leading favorite
to win. as the competition got un-
der way and he began smacking
his opponents off neatly. In the 18-
hole matches which our British
cousins insist are long enough for
championship play-until they get
to the final match.
And then came along a little,
wiry. ruddy Scot with strong burr

game. though nothing. the wise ones
fancied. to interrupt the course OF
Chicks triumphal progress.
Well, well--When / was in Britain

which left Chick a chance to re-
cover. But the British match was
10 holes.
And Chick Evans, playing superb
golf. travelled the first nine holes
exactly in par-and he was down!
Charley MacFarlane. with bad 6

strokes.
Years after I asked Chick what
he thought about as he stood on
the tenth tee. Chick grinned remi-

neapolis to the Western League to pre-
vent the American League from taking
these cities back into the fold 1t was
announced that the National League
would back new American Associa-
ton in order to crush the upstart Amer
iCan League.
Every obstacle that could be thrown
in the way of the new league was
pitched against 1t. particularly in tho
East. Thc Athletics thought they had
ball ground In Philadelphia only to
find that the City Council was holding
1t up--and 1t was not hard to imagine
what had actuated the Council. The
Philadelphia Nationals had an owner
who was strong in politics.
Local Club Had Difficulties.
The Washington Club of the Ameri-
can League had time trying to get q
ground even when the Washington pro-
moters were sure they had arranged
everything perfectly. Washington op-
position was needless because Washing
ton had no competing club in the Ma
tional League.
The American League was offered a
ground In Boston. Arthur Irwin said
the league could have Charles River
Park. Ine league would not accept that
offer because it thought that it had
rivaled the National League quite
enough rs 1t was and did not wish to
provoke the senior organization more
at that time.
The American Leaguers insisted over
and over that they had undertaken
Eastern expansion not so much to in
Jure the National League by territorial
competition as to head off the Ameri-
can Association which still was a threat
on the base ball horizon and which in
tended to rival both the American
League and the National League.
Then came the National Leagues de-
ciSion at its November meeting to en-
courage formation of a new American
Association to fight back at the Amer
lcan League. That lighted the next
pack OF base ball firecrackers and they
exploded all over the East
