Haworth, N. j., took a command
ing Lead among the early finish
ers in the 18-hole qualifying
round for the women's national
golf championship today when
she carded II, Women's par for
the course.
Miss circuit carded a 38 for her
first nine holes. She scored
brides on the first and ninth,
and gave promise of being among
the leaders for the medal score.
Miss Enid Wilson, British
women's champion, and the most
serious threat fGr the champion
ship being defended by Miss
Helen Hicks, of Long Island, shot
par figures for the first five holes

into difficulty on the sixth and
ninth holes and reached the turn
with a Al. Meanwhile, Miss
Hicks was 43 strokes for the nine
holes. Her drive was out of
bounds on the first tee and re-
suited in a fat 7. A 6 on the
fifth and ninth also added
strokes to the score.
Miss Dorothy Hunter, of West
Newton, Mass, was tied with
Miss circuit with 38 for the
first nine holes. She carded As
on the last four holes of the
first nine.
One stroke behind her came

PROVES
BETTER AS
CATCHER
By BABE RUTH


I have already compared the
infields and outfields of the two
teams which will clash in the
coming world series, and in each
instance it was my impression
that there has been no particular
edge for either team, in a de-
fensive way, in either of these de-
partments. Superior hitting gives
the Yankees an edge. Now we
come to the catching and again
rate the Yankees as having an
edge because of better hitting.
I think that Bill Dickey is the
best all-around performer among
the major league catchers of
1892 1t was for this reason that
1 named him recently in my all
America selections. But I would
not imply that Hartnett is not a
highly capable maSkman and
fully qualified to do everything a
catcher is expected to do. He has
been one of the leading catCherS
of recent years and I know the
Cubs are not going to suffer any
from catching standpoint. Still
I rate Bill Dickey above the Cub
veteran.
It happens that Dickey is en-
joving his best year behind the
bat and in the poll of newspaper
men, my fellow members of the
Ali-America Board of Baseball,
he drew the highest vote among
the catchers. He has been stead
lily improving each year since he
first joined the Yankees. Hart
nett, on the other hand. has been
having a poor season when COM
pared to what he has done in the
past. In other words he has
slipped back this year while the
Yankee catcher has come stead
lily forward.
Hartnett May Off
The latest batting averages of
the National League show Hart
nett with mar kof .265, whereas
his lifetime batting mark in the
majors up to this year was .295.
vi COu1 SC odDHJ 40 always NAAA
gerous when he goes to the plate
and it would be no surprise if he
should outhit any particular
player who might be named. But
the fact remains that he has not
been doing as we'll this year as
he did in the past.
There is possibility that
Rollie Hemsley will be used in
some of the games. He is a
player of great possibilities, and
easily the fastest of the catchers
eligible to take part in the series:
A high percentage of his hits
this year have been for extra
bases-half of them in fact
but he has not batted as con-
sistently as Hartnett, nor has
he had the experience. So I
look for the veteran to do most
of the backstopping in these
games.

WILL d PVAAoAL'
It might be said there even
was a slight tear in the eyes of
one or two of the faithful who,
among the clamoring mass wend-
ing their way out of the big
stadium, hated to see the old
baseball season end, also trekked
with thought in mind that
Newer Acquaintance. Might Be
Brought To Mind" ere another
season rolls around.
With the Griffmen in their
clubhouse, it was a case of much
hand-shaking and wishing of
luck from comrade to comrade
with everybody humping up
against each other and realizing
that the strain of competition
was over until another year.
Busy Clubhouse Scenes
A brief word picture describes
the clubhouse scenes in this man
ner:
In one corner of the room
Mike Martin is rubbing this
player. then that one for the
last time this year. Directly
across a collection of the boys
are taking their final showers
In the center are several donning
street garb.
All over the place is frankie
Baxter, superintendent of the
clubhouse, if you please, running
all over the floor, putting this uni
form, then that one in order, an
swering this and a hundred other
calls for his help and assistance
in the meantime.
Near Mike Martin is Walter
Johnson, shaking dozen hands
at once, thanking everybody for
"them thar kind words" and hop
ing to be back next year, but ex,
pressing a note of doubt on his
face, what with all the rumorS
lately.
And finally across from John
son is Al Schacht sitting in his
locker trying to dress while ar
guing with Frankie Baxter over
a club house debt due two months
ago.
CrOwder Wins Again
Finally the exit of every player,
manager, coach and Baxter, the
latter signing signs of relief that
it is all over, but realizing that
there's no other racket quite like
tho baseball racket
And oh, yes, the ball game
That was played earlier in the
day before all the clubhouse bust,
ness. The Griffs won, 2 to l, and
General Alvin Crowder hurled, the
North Carolinian chalking up his
twenty-Sixth triumph of the year
and his fifteenth straight.
And oh. yes, the AS were Crow
der'S victims. And Jimmy FoXx
hit a home run-his fifty-eighth
of the campaign, it coming in the
ninth inning with nobody on base
and one out. This four-bagger
gave the AS a new major league
team record of 172 homers for a
single season. The Cubs held the
mark in 1880 with I'll.

Air PHots Strike

Expansion of air travel has hinged
mainly upon convincing the travelling
public that air service was safe. Two
factors are involved in this: the tech
nical construction of the planes and
the pilots. Air pilots must have very
special personal qualifications. They
must have daring, initiative, resource
fulness and skill. A high quality Of
personality is essential. To a group Of
such picked men accustomed to the
freedom of the air and the discipline
IF responsibility, the Century Air
Line presented yellow dog contracts
and wage cuts, ordering them to &C
cept both.
Small wonder that a strike followed.
Pay was cut from $3.50 a month to
between $3.50 and 5000. A company
official calmly stated they were tax
ing advantage of unemployment con-
ditions to cut pay:
"There are only about $50 airline
flying jobs in the country, and there
are several thousand pilots looking for
jobs. Therefore, we can get them at a
good price, we are simply following
the law of supply and demand.' To
this company pilots are nothing more
than commodities on the market, and
if this policy prevails as proposed the
line will lose its high grade pilots who
are indispensable to safety of passen-
gers and this company may expect to
see its revenues steadily decline as pas
! sensers will not want to take.this ex-
ira hazard.
The American Federation of Labor i.
squarely behind this union of air line
pilots for the maintenance of fair pay,
standards of safety in flying and ex-
c%ellence of service. The travelling pub
lie, understanding the situation, will
| doubtless hesitate to entrust their safe
ty, where work relationships make for
bad morals.

CITY OFFICIALS

POWER CONTRACT
Salisbury Is First City
To Sign Contract With
The NeW Concern To Be

ON Power To Be Effect
ed.

The project of the group of New
York capitalists, who agreed to build
a dam on the Yadkin river and sell
power to nearby cities, took on
definite form when Mayor B. V. He'd
rick and City Clerk Miss Elizabeth
Massey were authorized by the city
council at their last meeting to sign
a contract agreeing to purchase pow
er from the concern for a period of
SO years.
1t is understood that the plant will
not be built unless enough cities are
interested to make the plant feasible.
Other cities are expected to follow
with contracts in the near future.
The proposed sight of the plant is
on the Yadkin river near Boone's cave,
and the plant under full opc::tion
will be capable of furnishing around
$4,000 horsepower. A basin covering
approximately $4,000 acres will be
necessary and options covering a lorge
percentage of tbs amount are 10 held
by the company.
Under the new arrangement the
city will purchase power at the flat
rate of LIS per kilowatt hour ard in
addition will receive 40 per cenr of
the net annual profits; also the cities
have the privilege of buying the plant
at so percent of the appraised valua-
ton at the end of 80 years. In con-
sideration for the purchase of power
from the company the company agrees
to build substations, transmission lines
and furnish power SO that the cities
concerned will have the opportunity
to dispose of the power in the ma liner
best suited to them.

AT SEA
MADE BY j. s.
PATROL BOAT

Recently, the friends of w. M.
Simpson received word that he play
ed a prominent part in the rescue of a
disabled fishing schooner 90 miles off
Norfolk, Va. Mr.. Simpson is a Sails
bury mar and joined the Navy when
but II years of age. At present he is
chief boatswain's mate on a coast
guard patrol, with headquarters at
Norfolk, Va.
The fishing schooner America"
put out from the port of Portsmouth
en- route to the fleet which is now
fishing in southern waters. The boat is
propeller driven, using oil for fuel.
After leaving port the propeller broke
and no mean of repairs were at hand
For a day and a half the fishermen
were tossed about by a heavy sea. AL
though a flag of distress was raised,
the captains of passing ships failed to
see it.
The flag of distress was finally
sighted by the coast guard patrol boat
and after much difficulty a line was
got aboard and the with the disabled
fishing boat in tow the patrol boat
started for Norfolk. A heavy sea was
running at the time and near the
Chesapeake lighthouse the line parted:
Another line was finally got aboard
and the schooner reached Norfolk
safely.
Mr.. Simpson worked in Salisbury
and Spencer for number of years and
is we'll remembered here. His many
friends will read with interest of the
part he played in the rescue. He is
slated for a higher rating, that of war
ami officer, which will take effect
at an early date.

and only two hearts. For this reason
the no trump bid offers the better
chance for game. If his partner has a
three hearts. The bid of two no trump
indicates a strong hand but no particu-
lar help for the heart bid. Always
hesitate to help your partners suit bid
with only two trumps or less. The only
exception to this is when you hold ace
or king and one other.
In Hand B, the dealer should un-
doubtedly bid three hearts. He has no
stopper in the spade suit and yet very
strong help for his partners heart bid.
This hand is fine example of the type
of hand on which to assist partners
suit bid.
In Hand c, the dealer should pass.
He has only n stopper in spades and
less than normal help for his partners
heart suit. For that reason, he should
neither bid two no trump nor three
hearts. 1t is a fine example of a hand
that is just under the requirements for
a two nc trump bid.
In Hand D, the dealer should bid
two no trump. He has only n stopper
in the spades but his set-up club suit
makes the hand a good chance for
game in no trump. The fact that it
contains only two small hearts makes
a three-heart bid inadvisable. 1t is a
fine example of a hand that is just owe
the requirements for a two no trump
bid.
1t is manifestly impossible to include
in this discussion all of the various
types of hands that might come under
the conditions specified in the question,
but the foregoing examples are typical
and will act as a guide in the great
majority of instances. As a general
rule, bid two no trump if you have a
double stopper in the SUIT bid or three
hearts if you have three OF more hearts
to an honor and a sound no trump.

Labor's Victory

After days of debate and the offer
ing Of a host Of amendments, many
of which seemed designed to take the
sting u of the measure, the Norris
anti-injunction bill, which also out
laws the yellow dog contract, passed
the Senate by a vote of Is to 5.
The big majority by which the bill
was approved followed long years Of
effort by organized labor to obtain
such legislation. In addition to its la
Dor clauses the bill carries a provision
to protect the freedom of the press
by authorizing jury trials and transfer
of judges in cases of contempt Of
cosrt. The passage of this bill declares
the right of labor to organize, brands
the yellow dog contract as contrary
to public policy and outlaws it by
making it unenforcible in Federal
courts. 1t also strictly limits the
grounds on which labor injunctions
would be issued, forbidding them, ex-
cept after open hearing after unlawful
acts had been committed, unless COM
plant had no adequate remedy at law.
The following are the five senator's
recorded as voting against the bill, all
are from new England and all Repub-
licans: Austin, Vermont; Bingham,
Connecticut; Hale, Maine; Keyes and
Moses, of New Hampshire.
