Chick Evans Favored to Win Western Amateur Links Honors. UPSETS FEATURE MEET BY DIXON STEWART, United Press Staff Correspondent 808 O’ LINK CLUB, HIGHLAND PARK, 111., Aug. 23.—Six golfers of Illinois and two Oreganians met today in the second day’s match play of the Western Amateur golf tournament after *the two opening championship flights eliminated the British Walker cup team qauliflers and all of the favorites except Chick Evans. The opening frames were packed with enough thrills to satisfy the most exacting galleryites. There was little chance that the remainder of the tourney could produce another such series of smashing climaxes and upsets. Chick Evans was doped to repeat past performances by again winning the title. The opening 18-hole matches which, besides eliminating the international angle by the defeat of the four English players, threw out Bon Stein, Seattle, Wash., defending champion. Stein fell before Gus Novotny, Chicago, 3 and 1. The upsets continued when John Dawson, Chicago, tournament medalist, lost to Kenneth Hisert, Chicago, 2 and 1; Don Moe, Portland, Ore., who shot a 69 in the first qualifying round, was defeated by C. L. Weems, mayor-of Quincy, 111., and Ira L. Couch, Chicago youngster, nipped the hopes of T. Phillip Perkins, British Amateur champion. The eight players today included five Chicagoans, Chick Evans, Hisert, Novotny, Rial Rolfe and Ira Couch. Two from Portland, Ore., are Dr. O. F. Willing and Frank Dolp. The remaining survivor was Lawrence Moller, Quincy, 111. A drenching rain started falling this morning and threatened to spoil the day entirely for the players. If it continued at the rate it was falling early today it wsa feared the round would have to be called off.

Big League Stuff
George Haas, outfielder for the Philadelphia Athletics smacked a home run in the seventeenth inning Wednesday and gave the Athletics a 6 to 5 victory over Cleveland. The victory enabled the A’s to gain a half game on the New York Yankees, who did not play. Detroit took both ends of a double bill from Boston by scores of 7-to-S and 4-to-3. The Timers led from the second Inning of the first game without being headed, but were forced to come from behind In the eighth inning of the second game with two runs to win. Hadley bested Waish in a pitchers’ duel and Washington defeated Chicago, 2 to 0. Hadley allowed the White Sox five hits over the entire rout while W'alsh yielded six before he was supplanted for a pinch hitter in the eighth. St. Louis muffed another chance to pass the Giants in the National League race, dropping before Brooklyn, 3to 2. Brooklyn had their entire quota of runs before the Cardinals were able to score. Rabbit Maranville entertained the home fans by pulling the hidden ball trick effectively on Deberry, Brooklyn catcher, in the seventh. The New York Giants dropped their second straight to the Cincinnati Reds. 5 to t. Melvin Ott drove in three runs with a triple in. the. fifth,, but. Zitxman duplicated in \hc last of the inning for Cincinnati and the Reds added two more runs to clinch the game.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
_BRUCE BARTON SAYS:.
*A l s No Big Menace But Elect Hoover
Today The Times prints an interview with Bruce Barton, obtained by Alice Hughes New York Telegram staff writer, on why he is for Herbert Hoover for President. This is a reply to an interview printed yesterday with H L Mencken in which Mencken expressed the reasons why he prefers A1 Smith to win the presidency. B y ALICE HUGHES New York Telegram Staff Writer “TT will be very discouraging to A1 to know that H. L. Mencken is for JL him, because, of course, Mencken and his boys are always wrong and always licked,” Bruce Barton believes. ‘‘They are the sad voices crying in the wilderness and singing ‘Sweet Adeline’ In the speakeasies,” said Barton. Citing as his chief reason for wanting to see Herbert Hoover elected.
Barton said that the biggest question of the next four years is foreign affairs and world peace. While he admits A1 is a quick learner and might do a good job, too, he doesn’t want to swap a certainty for a probability —Hoover, who knows Europe, for Governor Smith, who lias to learn of European statesmanship. QUESTION —Before I ask you what you think of Smith and Hoover, I’d like to know what you think of Mencken. BARTON—I like him personally. Almost all actors are pleasant fellows when you meet them off stage. Joe Jeffprson played Rip Van Winkle for years. Mencken plays the part of Chu Yuan, the ancient Chinese sage, w'ho exclaimed: ‘The world is foul and I alone am clean.’ Off stage he takes off his false whiskers, washes up the grease paint and is an amusing companion. Probably his role gets tiresome to him sometimes—Just as Joe got tired of playing Rip—but Joe found it so profitable that he never learned anew part, and probably Mencken will follow the same course. Most of his readers are sophisticated and diabetic so that he does
them no particular harm. He is, I think, a bad influence on young people, and prticularly on young newspaper men. QUESTION —What do you think of Mr. Mencken’s observation that the first requisite of a President is that he should be amusing? BARTON—Mencken was born too late. Kings and emperors were amusing, and he would have made a grand court- jester.
History will continually grow less interesting as the world grows better. Professor Playfair of Edinburg, the greatest, or one of the greatest men of his time, died without a biography, for there w’as no incident in the life of a great and good man worth recording. Nelson and Bonaparte, men of abilities without principles, found four or five biographies apiece. I’ve known President Coolidge since long before he was President, and I admire him. I’d rather go fishing with Mencken than with the President. But I’d much rather have Coolidge in the White House. It’s not the business of the President to be amusing, and we don’t want to elect anybody because he is a ‘‘cocktail with real gin in it.” The job affects the prosperity of every home and the peace of the world. If a job like that is a joke, then there is something the matter with my sense of humor.
Hoover’s Humor
QUESTION—Of the two candidates which fits your picture of a : desirable President more complete- | ly? What makes you think so? BARTON—I’ve voted for A1 Smith for Governor, but I’m going to vote i for Hoover for President. Harding' also Knew how to laugh and how to 1 take a drink, but this didn’t make I him a good President, j If tw’o cards were brought in to my desk tomorrow, one reading Herbert Hoover and the other Alfred E Smith, and I was told that both of them wonted to go to work in our advertising agency, I’d pick Hoover on his bigger record and his better organizing ability. Incidentally Hoover has as good a sense of humor as anybody Mencken should go down and see him sometime. Some of the stories of his experiences with the fossilized statesmen of Europe are as funny as anything on Broadway. AMUSEMENTS

The Wet Issue
QUESTION —Is the prohibition question an issue to the extent that the man elected President can or will attempt to do anything much about it—either toward modification or more strict enforcement—and if so which man would be more effective toward the change you would prefer? Which more effective from the standpoint of the general good, if there is any such thing as the general good? BARTON—I was against the Eigl teenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. I was also against the Mann act. Not because I want to get drunk or pay the carfare of a lady from one State to another, but because our Government was founded on the principle that the central authority should not act except where the States cannot. I think it \fcis a very unwise departure for the national Government to attempt to regulate personal conduct. However, the Eighteenth Amendment is here and nobody is so foolish as to think it can be repealed. Great social changes work themselves our slowly. For a full generation after the abolition of slavery there were the abuses of readjustment, and if you had asked any of the leading citizens of the country during that period whether it was a mistake to abolish slavery many of them would have answered “yes,” and cried out for the good old days. As long as we’ve got prohibition. I’d like to give it long enough to work Itself out. Also it seems to me prohibition is gaining. Every day someone of my friends announces that he has gone on the wagon. There will Always be a certain percentage of drinkers, but their kidneys will carry them off. And I doubt if the next generation is going to care much for liquor.
Church in Politics
QUESTION—Do you think the religious issue is going to play a large part in the campaign? BARTON—Undoubtedly and unfortunately. yes. I'm against priests and preachers in politics, no matter to what denomination they belong. The church was in pretty complete

control of things in Europe for several centuries, and these are known in history as “the dark ages.” I’m a Porttstant. but I think the Methodists ought to nfove out of Washington, and the Catholics ought to Keep out. I think any bishop who attempted to influence A1 Smith in politic would be told very quickly where to head in. QUESTION—WiII the type of woman each candidate has as a wife be a definite help or handicap toward election? BARTON—I think It will, particularly with the women voters. The first lady of the land represents the Nation m many important occasions, and especially In the eyes of representatives of foreign nations. Both Herbert Hoover and Governor Smith have fine wives. QUESTION —Summing up the qualifications of thg two candidates, what would you say as to your reasons for supporting Hoover? BARTON—The biggest question of the next four years is not agriculture or prohibition, but foreign affairs. Every citizen wants to see the United States at peace, and a leader In every effort to keep the rest of the world at peace. The man who was most right about the last war was Eugene Debs. He said that all we got out of it was influenza and the income tax.
Too Bad for Al
Hoover knows Europe. He knows all the ins and outs of foreign statesmanship. They respect him over there. A1 is a quick learner and it is probable that he could do a good job, too. But why swap a certainty for a probability? It will be very discouraging to AI to know that Mencken is for him, because, of course, Mencken and his boys are always wrong and always licked. They are the sad volqps crying in the wilderness and singing “Sweet Adeline” in the speakeasies. The American people, for all their celebrated sense of humor, take their homes, their business and their obligations seriously. They take the presidency seriously. Al. as President, wouldn’t do them any permanent harm. But they are going to elect Hoover.
