Administration Is Expected
To Take Hand If WeIch

Picturing Philippine immigra-
ton as an invasion of the Amer
tcan working mans rights, Rep
resentative WEIGH (RO of Cali
fornia and officials of the West
Coast State appeared before the
House Immigrations Committee
today to ask complete exclusion
OF Philippine immigrants into the
United States.
Welch charged that of 10000
Ahled- d-bodied Filipinos living in the
United States today, $4,000 were
in California and adding to its
already serious unemployment
5 problem. He said the Filipinos
would work for wages on which
the white man could not live and
are daily driving American men
and women out Of jobs. He said
the National Carbon Company Of
San Francisco discharged a num-
her of white workers because they
refused to accept wages for which.
the FilipinoS would work. He
added:
"Y0u rescued us from Chinese
immigration and japanese i'm
migration, and now again we
come before you to ask ex-
cluSiOn Of this new horde COM
Ing down upon u.s."
Representative DickStein CD,
New York, called the witness
attention to the fact that the
Philippine Islands are under con-
troll of the United States and that
Presidents of the United States
in the past had promised them
certain rights. Welch replied:
"NO President promised that
FilipinOs could come into this
country by the ShiplOad and
take jobs away from the Amer.
lean people"
The Administration was re-
ported ready to take hand in
the matter if the measure ad-
vanceS toward passage during the
present session. Governor Gen

pines already has announced his
opposition and Secretary of State
StimSon is against it.

The Rajah handled the Cubs against

more good golfers. And just to show

shot on the first hole for an eagle 2.
The hole is a par affair of something

alive in Alabamas big red TEAM
Alabama was the first Southern team
to win Bowl of Roses game when the
Crimson tide rolled over Washington.
On the second invasion Alabama held
Stanford to TT draw. Georgia Tech
was the third Southern eleven to win,
beating California. o.. each occasion
the competition has been extremely
close, but the West Coast has yet to beat
a Southern team in one of these flower
scented classics. This fourth test looks
to be just as close as the others have
been. Here you have two teams that
can count on power, especially the
power of defensive strength. Both have
abnormally strong lines, but on the sea-
sons showing Alabama has the stronger
attack.
Washington State has a star center
in Helm and two high-class tackles.
Alabama, to win, will need a good pass
ing game to go with its running attack,
for it will be hard to batter down this
Western forward wall even with the
smashing power Alabama can throw
into action. The Southern line is big,
fast and aggressive. A lot will depend
upon how the Western line can take the
pounding which broke down the de-
fensive strength of Georgia, Wander
bilt, Florida and Tennessee, among
others. And these lines wee not made

N YEW YORK, December 80 (P).-
N Golf in 1880 can be summarized
in three words, Robert Tyre
Jones.
When the major copetitions of
the year were over, this supreme
golfer had won the four out
standing national competitions, a record
that has never before been approached
in the history of the game. The an
nouncement of his withdrawal from
further competition was not great
surprise to those who have watched his
progress through the years. Like Alex
ander, he had no more worlds to con-
quer. The news of his withdrawal was
the signal for tribute from the press
Of the world such as no other figure in
the world of sport had ever received.
The retirement, though, of this SUI
preme master leaves golf in 1881 in a
most interesting condition, and we look
forward to the competitive season with
keen interest. The removal of the one
man who might be called the dominat-
ing figure in the game means that all
the other competitors are going to Guido
themselves IN the coming year.
The first of the major events in 1881
will be the British amateur champion
ship, toe be held at Westward-Ho, be-
ginning May 10. There will probably
be but few entries from this country.
This will be followed by the British

, open championship, to be held at Car
noustie, Scotland, early in June.
My information is that among the
American professionals to be entered
are Macdonald Smith, Horton Smith
and Walter Hagen. 1t is likely that
each of these three players will give
a good account of himself, and one of
them might well win the championship.
In the latter part of June, the Ryder
Cup matches will be played at the
Scioto Country Club, Columbus, Ohio
by teams of professional golfers repre-
senting the United States and Great
Britain. This will be one of the most
interesting competitions of the year.
In July the United States open cham
pionship will be played ever the course
of the Inverness Club at Toledo, Ohio.
This event will be preceded in June by
sectional qualifying rounds for the con-
testants in this championship, and we
expect to have about 1,400 entries this
year.
In September the national amateur
championship will be played at the
Beverly Country Club, Chicago. With
Jones absent, this will be a keen COM
petition and will certainly bring out
all Of the amateur stars of this country.
Then comes the national women S
championship, to be held at the Buffalo
Country Club, where Glenna Collett
will have an opportunity to exceed her
world record for this competition.
1t is impossible to list all the high
grade competitions throughout the year,
such as the Professional Golf Associa-
ton championship. the National Public
Links championship and the various
State, sectional and district COMPETE
tions. In 1880 many of these compete
tons suffered from bad weather con-
ditions and the severe drought. With
these conditions absent in 1881, all the
tournaments should be better.
There are more than five thousand
golf clubs in the United States and
more than two million players May
there be more and better golf in 1881.

NEW YORK. December 30.-There
IN was wrestling last night both
outside and inside new Madison

crowd that ever saw a mat tourna-

was said to be a new attendance
record for the Eighth Avenue Arena,
saw Jim Londos, the Greek veteran
of Is years of headspinning, throw
Ferenc Holuban, the husky Hun
garian, in 20 minutes and Al seconds,
with a pinwheel hold.
The Garden management simply
did not anticipate the crowd-pulling
of the card last night and it was
necessary to send a hurry call for
extra police. and impress into late
service extra ticket takers and
door men.
Estimates of the crowd ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000. and the gross
intake of the house may have gone
to S55,0CO. There were several
thousand standing room tickets sold,
and the place was packed to suffoca-
ton.

Now, If you use the body to help

shift, plus the pulling force of the
