THAT Westland-Yates match was a

There's one thing to be said for Howell.
He is no respecter of regulations, and
he was not bit awed by Ouimets
reputation as he stepped out there
against Francis today. A kid who
knocked over Phil Perkins in a 21-hole
match only few months ago is not
afraid of Ouimet. Billy told me today
that he has lost eight pounds since h

Ouimet he had only 127 pounds of boy

Billy Howell, a modern counter

round Of the national amateur

The Richmond youth, almost as well
known in Washington as he is In his
home town, is the underdog in the
semi-flnal match at Beverly today
against the veteran from the Hub.
Frankly II Billy wins that golf match
it will be miracle, for Francis has hit
such fast pace since he first walloped
a golf ball down the Beverly fairways
that he is an overwhelming favorite to
down the Richmond youngster. But
miracles do happen in golf, and If Billy
puts on the same stuff today he showed
against John Goodman in the first

the miracle. But no matter whether
he wins today or not, the kid has gone

opinion that his Cincinnati Reds were

What the colonel inferred was that

it was up against the strongest opposi-

what he was talking about.

Rivals Would Aid
Mack in Wrecking

NEW YORK, September 4.-If
~ Connie Mack breaks up his
team before the frost IS out of
the ground next Spring. all of the
big league boys will be willing to buy.
Who wouldn't? Col. Rupert, owner
of the Yankees, says he will put in
a bid for Grove and Simmons. Easy
erough to see that neither of those
players will get out of the Ameri-
can League. They couldn't be waiv-
ed out with INT.
Owner Wrigley OF the Cubs says
he would like to buy Chuck Klein
OF the Phillies if he is for sale. Other
clubs wanted Klein last Spring and
one of them was st. Louis. For
a while the boys thought the deal
would go through, with Chick Hafey
landing in Philadelphia. You can
bet Hafey is glad now he came to
terms with the Cardinals.

campaigning in the American
League. Although the club sorely
needs more material, little has

necessity and so does another outfielder

However, the Washington club is not
out of tune with other big league clubs
in this respect this season. The majors

out much cash for material. There is

Ead News for Players.
Those that stick in the big show are
in for some salary slashing, too. While
Washington club officials have not ad-
mitted their pay roll will be cut, there
is no reason to believe the Nationals
will continue getting fat salaries while
other clubs reduce, as several have an
nounced they will do.
The Washington pay roll is heavy
one-a pay roll we'll above the big
league average. And there are some
high-priced players on it who have not

news when the contracts are passed
around next Winter

GOES TO SMASH
New Wave of Failures

More big bank crashes are being
reported in the capitalist press, after
nearly a month of suppression of
such news. None of the capitalist
papers reported the fact that in De-

crashed,
The latest big bank to crash is the

of Elizabeth, N. j., which closed its
doors Wednesday. The bank has three
branches and deposits of over $8,000.-

the directors declare that the bank

only later facts showed that at least
100000 had been robbed from the in
side.
