PROFESSOR MENDEtL.
While golf has been generally ac

mains for Professor C. W. Mcndell of
Yale to eulogize the Scottish pastime j
In an unusual manner. He says:
"The call for golf candidates should
bring out every man who knows a
putter from a driver and hasn't a
brass-bound alibi. Golf, like tennis,
offers more than the contest between
Harvard or Princeton, and more the
chance to win distinction in college
sport It gives you the best possible
start in a game you will be playing
with the fresh hope of heating 'Colonel
Bobey' when you are 80 years old. It
Is a life-long friend a game, an ex
ervise, recreation; in shoft, an all

NEW YORK, Can Bob Mcusel
and Aaron Ward hold up under tho
burden of Yankee hopes that heats on
their shoulders?
Now York fans aro asking this
question ,today as the American
League pennant race begins to get
well under way. for tho fate of iho
1920 Yankess apparently rests on the:
ability of these two young infieldera
to make good. j
Filling tho shotes of Frank Bakeri
and De'rrill Pratt is no small assign
ment Gotham fan3 realize that Meu
sel can scarcely bo expected to take
up the trail where Baker left off, and
though Ward .had a full, season with
the Yankeos in 1019 ns a'subsltulo in
fielder his task of taking Pratt's place
in tho Une-up Is anything -but a
merry glide. '
Meusol Is one of 'the tallest and
heaviest young infielders who has
ever come up from the minors to a
New York club. Tho Californian Is
hotter than a six footer and wejgns
190 pounds. His wolght and his
breadth of shoulder enablo him to put
power bohind hlH bat, but poundage
in Meuscl's case i3 no virtue when ono
figures him' as an infielder. though ho
is unusually fast for a big fellow.

AMERICUS, Ga May 11. P. W.
Blacklear, 24, of San Diego, Calif., for
mer army air instructor, was Instantly
killed hero today in a fall of 1,500 feet
while flying alone in a Gorman Kokker
machine, one of thoso surrendered-by
the Germans under the armistice.
Blacklear had been a civilian employe
at Southern Field since his discharge
from the army. ;
Meusel he had tho find of the season
of several seasons. And M ousel's
record In tho Coast league indicates
that his California boosters wore jus
tified in praising him to the skies, for
! he hammered the apple to a 337 tune
In 163 games and finished with a
fielding average of 914, having play
ed both third base and the outfield for
the Vernon club.
Meusel is liko Baker in ono re
spect He Is a long distance hitter.
Ho got fourteen homo runs in the
Coast League last year and augument
cd this heavy hitting by smashing out
thirty-nine two-baggers and four
toen triples. He scored 113 runs and
stole twenty-ono bases in the bar
gain. But in the big show this young
gladiator from California will find
things a bit different, and ho is not
exactly at homo on third baso with
the Yanks, for it's a different Job
playing third with the Yanks and
holding down the same job in a minor
league. However. Mousel. is a fighter
has plenty of intelligence and is get
ting plenty of encouragement.
Ward, who got Into twenty-seven
games with tho Yanks last season,
has been showing up to advantage
this year an3 tho Yankeo fans believe
that ho will finally come into his own
if ho is given tho opportunity to do
so. Ward Is not tho fleetest lnfioldor
in the major leagues Vy a wholo lot,
but he 13 a good infielder and has a.
good arm and a level head. If his bit
ting does not slump ho ought to' do
nicely.

former consul general in Mexico, tes H
tified today before the senate commit
tee investigating Mexican affairs. Il
Mr. Lane declared American oil
rights in Mexico were as well founded
in justice and deserved as much pre
ted ion as if they had been established
in Pennsylvania or California, while
Mr. Chamberlain declared that the at
titude of the United States toward M
Mexico "has been one of accumulating
shame for seven years."
Mexican commercial and official life
was sustained with graft from the
lowest tally clerk to the highest cab- H
inet officer," Mr. Chamberlain said !H
and only a policy of economic control if
of the country by the United States
would re-establish stability. '
Referring to his resignation. Cham
bcrlain asserted "a self-respecting man ,
couldn't continue to take the money of H
( the United States for hopeless, pur- ,
t poseless service after he knew the .
things I was forced lo learn," ) M
i Criticises President Wilson. I
The president, he said, "cut the
ground out from under the feet of ov
ery diplomatic and commercial agent
the United Stales had in Mexico, by
repeated statements that force would
never be used in the country."
"The greatest danger now," he add- H
ed, "Is that the United States will be M
led lo treaty in some fashion with a
new head of affairs in Mexico before
we are really decided. to deal with the jH
evils. The first step in proper policy iH
is that embarked by the senate, In re
fusing to confirm the nomination of an
other ambassador to that country.
"We ought to follow that up. Mexico, :H
because it hasn't been able to borrow
a cent, is in a sound financial situation
internationally. It is the most wealthy
- country in natural resources I have
visited', which makes the tragedy of its
last 100 years under self-determination jH
more glaring. Wo should offer a loan
sufficient to put its finances in shape, Jm
bound up. with a treaty which would
give us direct supervision of' its eco
nomic affairs. Tho second step should 'M
be lo withdraw the present recognition M
j unless that was accepted. Still failing jM
