NEW YORK, Oct. 15-Col.
Jacob Rupert, ruler of the mighti-
est empire in baseball, went back
into winter Information today
with nothing to worry about ex.
cept whether he would be able to
get the New York Yankees to-
gether for next season. Right
now, all he has is a manager.

and everything was serene up to
that point. But what the baseball
people are wondering now is what
will happen when Colonel Rupert
gets around to trying to sign I'D
his players.
NO HIGHER
To begin with, Colonel Rupert
said last year that his pay roll
for 1887 had reached nearly $780,
600 and that he wouldn't permit
it to go any higher, and, as an
afterthought, he said a few days
ago he meant it.
Colonel Rupert broke one Of
his rules in giving Manager Nc.
earthly a long-term contract, even
though the salary was supposed to
be what Mccarthy had been paid
through the last two seasons, and
it is barely possible that he (mean-
ing Colonel Ruppert) will deviate
from his own straight and narrow
by passing out some raises when
it comes time to sign the players,
and that everything will be all
right after all.
AS a matter Of fact, he can't
escape hiking some salaries. And
whether he does or not he can ex-
pect trouble.

Meckley and BrOWn
Engage in Golf Final
Match Slated
. At Indian
Spring
TITLE TO VICTOR
BY CHICK KENNY

Using the coolest day of the
fall as a background for some
mighty hot golf. Mrs. Betty P.
Meckley. of Indian Spring and
Marian Brown Of Manor Club, the
latest sprig in high-flight women's
golf circles in this territory, clash
today in the championship round
of the Women's Middle Atlantic
Golf Championships at Indian
Spring.
The match pitches a high
calibered veteran who has won
more women's links titles than
you can count on your 10 frost
bitten fingers and 10 toes, and
the youthful sensation of our
local golfing ladies. Mrs. Meek
lev is former Mid.Atlantic
crown wearer, having captured
the title in 1885.
FIRST TITLE IN OFFING
Marian Brown, medalist in the
tourney this year, has been COM
ing forward with a rush late this
season and will make a serious
bid to annex her first big title.
In earning her way to the final
round, Mrs. Meckley had much
the sterner tests although she won
in fairly easy fashion. She de-
cisively trounced Mrs. H. j.
Simons, Mrs. George Hussey and
yesterday, Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow,
the defending champion. On the
other hand Marian Brown elm
mated, only after matches that
went into extra holes, Mrs. Myron
Davy, Mrs. K. S. Giles and yester-
day, Mrs. Charlotte Stern. Mrs.
Stern had defeated, however,
Helen Dettweiler and Ellen Kin
caid.
Thus today on the strength of
the showings to date, Mrs. Meckley
has slight edge and will be the
favorite to cop the crown.
. Club house gossip has it that |
Mrs. Meckley should win fairly
easy. She is known as money"
player, who shows her best form
in the "pinches" and who Is at
her best when the going is the
toughest. Her experience will also
count much in such match.
So we'll get on the old limb
and tell our readers that it looks
nike Mrs. Betty P. Meckley, OF
indian Spring, to defeated Marian
Brown, the 19-year-old coed, about
3 and 4.

possible prosecutions.
I'm q little surprised that you
haven't investigated the circumstances
Of this incident q little more fully"
La Toilette said.
What sort Of investigation would
you suggest?" Altman countered. He
then identified q report submitted by
former Lieut.. Mills of the industrial
division Of the Police Department to
the effect that 13 members Of the
marching picketers had been identi-
ned as Communists. Altman said he
did not know on what information
Mills based this statement.
The commissioner insisted, however,
that he had not asked for any in
formation about possible communktic
afnliation Of members OF the strike
crowd.
Kilroy and Capt. James Mooney
who were in charge Of police details
on the scene, appeared last week be-

that he did meet one Of the plant
officers later.
The commissioner insisted that his
brief and verbal order to Prender-
gast was sufncient, but he objected
to La Follette's Characterization Of
routine" handling Of the situation.
At this point, La Toilette placed in
the record an opinion Of the Chicago
corporation counsel dated last March
81 to the effect that strikes are law
full instruments and that picketing
likewise Is lawful II conducted peace
ably. In view OF this. the opinion
continued, police should not interfere
with picketing II peaceably conducted.
Altman said he was familiar with
the opinion and had distributed 1t
to each police district.
Disorderly Pickets Fined.
On Wednesday, May 26. police Ar
rested % pickets and some later were
fined for being disorderly, Altman ad-
mitted, adding that no protests Of
the action ever were received.
Two days later, he said, six police
officers were injured in q brush with
pickets. Some pickets were hurt also,
he said, but he was unable to say how
many.
Altman testified that his first knowl-
edge Of the Sunday riot came by tele-
phone from Capt kilroy. The next
morning, he continued. he received =
written report from kilroy.

The device of incorporating hobbies
