BY DIR. LEONID STRAKHOVsKY.
TINE day of August rs, 1880, was
nearing it's end. The sun IL
Illuminated the sky with a gor-
geous display of color And on this
background the first feeble flames
of street lanterns shone like candles at
funeral. A general feeling of nervous
tension and unease held the city in its
pitiless grip. People in the streets
gathered in groups and commented III
excited voices the events that occupied
the mind of the whole population Of
Brussels. The thunder of the July
revolution in Paris still echoed through
the air and everything seemed to indi-
cate that a new storm was gathering.
The day before, anniversary of King
William of Holland, went by. Burning
of fireworks and a general illumination
of the city had been countermanded at
the last minute under preteXt Of
inclement weather. But the real rea-
son was that the population of the
Belgian capital not only did not par
played definite hostility toward them,
accusing the Dutch government OF
spending for them over 1000 forms
that came out of the Belgian tax
payers pocket. Moreover, strange
inscription in charcoal had appeared
on the walls OF the States General
Building. 1t read:
Monday, fireworks,
Tuesday. illumination,
Wednesday, revolution"
No wonder the peaceful people OF the
capital were excited. At the same time
everyone appeared to be ready to assist
that evening at the performance OF
Auber's opera: THE Dumb Girl OF
Portici," which was TO be given at the
Royal Theater. 1t seemed that this
performance was going to be an open
manifestation against the oppressive
rule of the House of Orange. And the
Belgian people had good reasons to be
discontinued with Dutch rule. When at
the Congress of Vienna, IN that memo
rable year of 1915, that saw the irrep-
arabic disaster of Napoleon, Belgium
was united with Holland. the Belgian
people did not protest, as the guarantees
given to them assured them much more
liberty than they had ever enjoyed, and
contraSted particularly with the iron
regime imposed upon them during Ma
DOlCOil
Ground Prepared for Revolt.
1t is true that during these Is years
OF their union with Holland their ma
terial and economic welfare progressed
considerably, but series of measures
| taken by the Royal Dutch government
| concerning the freedom of the press
the freedom of religion and of educa-
| ton, eliminating in the introduction OF
| the Dutch language as the official
| language of the provinces which auto
matically eliminated the large French
speaking population of Belgium from
any government Office, gave way TO loud
criticism and discomfort, followed by
persecution, and prepared the ground
! for an open revolt.
Thus, when at o'clock of that me-
morable evening, the curtain rose OH
the first act of the opera, the theater
was packed by nationally minded pa
triotic citizens Of Brussels. King VII

~HICAGO, June 6.-The big

today for qualifying tests in the ninth
annual renewal of the National Col
legiate Athletic Associations champion
ships.
To reduce the fields for the finals
tomorrow, q long list Of trials was
scheduled-meaning that many aspir-
ants for national titles by tonight would
be reduced to the status OF spectators:
Ten defending champions. three OF

were Simpson, in the century; HARROW
Rothert of Stanford, in the shotput'
and Tommy Warne Of Northwestern,
who tied last year with Paul EomonoS
at q record height, in the pole vault.
Possibilities for a world record per
Torrance in the mile run were dimmed
by the necessity of running the race IN
four sections. The field was so large
that it was decided to split 1t up, which
left It to chance that such stars as
Hill of oregon, Kiser Of Washington,
Swart1 of Western State Teachers
Kalamazoo, Mich, and JACK WaIter OF
Marquette, might be drawn in the same
section and create proper competition
for a record attempt.
Ed Hamm of Georgia Tech appeared
to have the broad jump pretty much

that Edward Gordon Of Iowa. the Big

Stances for Golf
Chip Shot Differ

Stances for the chip differ in golf.
Nearly every star plays 1t like the
putt. In consequence, when it comes
to stances there is a wide range
Willie Macfarlane gets his feet well
together. weight on left, and left
foot back, thus gaining an open ad-
dress. Farrells stance is much the
same.
Bobby Jones has his heels right
together for the shot. But Roger
Wethered. his British amateur rival,
spreads his legs a great deal, some
what like Hagen. So 1t goes.
The reason for these differences is
that a stance that feels comfortable
for you does not necessarily feel
comfortable for another. Hagen,
