REPORT OF DETAILED STUDY

EXPECTED SOON.
DR.. LOWE IS IN CHARGE

= Jackson.


DR.. +. y. Lowe, director of the Mis-
sissippi State Geological survey, is
spending a few days at his headquar-
tiers, engaged in disposing of consid-
cradle office work which awaits him.
This includes reports on the scientific
and economic features of the general
work which is being done. There is
being prepared at Washington a paper
intended to embody the latest investi-
cations and conclusions with regard TO
the so-called Lafayette formation
which lies through North Mississippi
and decidedly pronounced near Oxford.
Discussing this feature OF the activi-
ties, DR.. Lowe said
These Investigations have been car
ried on from time to time by govern
ment biologists. and continually by the
state geologist, in cooperation, with
a view to solving a much discussed
and disputed problem. With the evil
dence in hand we regard the problem
as practically solved, so far as North
Mississippi Is concerned. This %investi-
cation has been carried on incidental
to the general field and laboratory
work and while it is. strictly speaking.
a scientific problem, the Investigations
have been incidental to the more eco
monte aspects
As further stated by Or. Lowe. their
Investigations have been limited TO
that territory covered by the re
searches into the Lafayette formation.
They expect very soon TO complete
one manuscript report embodying a de
tailed study of the geology OF the whole
state, including soil, mineral. water
courses and other features. This re.
port. as stated by DR.. Lowe, will be
the most complete detail study ever
put forth covering the geological, eco
monte and typographical conditions in
the state.
DR.. Lowe has succeeded In having
his office in the capitol building fitted
up with shelves. filing cases and Other
accessories, using one of the large com
mittee rooms on The fourth floor
where he feels that he is out OF every
body's way and a pursue his specia

Detroit, August 31.-"Ned" Sawyer of Chicago 6 up and , today in the first round of match play in the national amateur golf championship tournament here. It wns Sawyer's first important victory over the western champion in several years and they have opposed each other on many occasions. Evans, desperately fighting to win n title he never has captured, played m cratic game.
 Evans finished the morning round 2 down. He tried to spurt early in the afternoon but Sawyers speed was too much for him. Chick" lost the first three holes. then rallied and then faded away. He captured only one hole, the eighth, during the final half of their match.
 Francis Ouimet, national champion, and Jerome Travers, open champion, won easy victories. Ouimet defeated w. H. Gardner II of Buffalo and '; Travers had a sick man. George A Crump of Philadelphia, for an oppon- nent. Travers was winner by the over whelming score of IA up and Is holes to play.
 One brilliant struggle today was the one in which James D. Standish, Jr, of Detroit. Mich. state champion, van quished W. c. Fownes of Pittsburg in a round of 37 holes. Fownes was three down when 15 play began. He over hauled his young rival and the match was squared on the thirtyfourth hole. Neither could gain margin on the next two greens but Fownes missed a short put for the thirty y-seventh after Standard, who was seven feet from the cup, had sunk his ball.
 Max Marston of Springfield, N. J., and Jesse Guilford of Boston had close duel. Guilford took the first four holes but his opponent crept to even terms, finished the round with a lead of up and then gained the final yer dict, up and 2. Marston will play Travers tomorrow
 Two southern stars came through with flying colors. Nelson Whitney of New Orleans took his game with Da- vison Heron of Plttsburg, 7 and $, conquered Robert F.. Hunter of Pas. adena by the same score.

Of the season. However, Moleswort, must content himself with Johnson Black, Robertson and Perryman. In event of tie game, the plight of Bir- mingham would indeed be serious.
 Following the double header Thurs day with Atlanta will come the two attles on Labor Day. Unless aid comes to Birmingham-and none is ex- pected-the Baron twirling corps prob. ably will be forced to labor overtime. Happily all of the pitchers are in ft shape for the task that confronts them. Robertson will close the series again t Nashville, while Perryman and Black will oppose the Crackers.
 Grimes suspension will be lifted at an opportune moment for the Baro1is Birmingham has four games to play with New Orleans in two days, begin ning on September 10. He will be eli : gible to pitch on the opening day, al- though the long lay off may affect his effectiveness. Besides drawing a To-day suspension Grimes was fined $10.

Though the To-day suspencion os BerIie Grimes was not expected to be felt by Birmingham immediately, 1t probably cost the Barons game with Nashville yesterday. When Johnson started wObbling, with the Barons in possession of the five runs, MoIesworth would ordinarily have yanked tho pitcher nnd substituted another. But with double header scheduled for Thursday with Atlanta and the third game with Nashville to be contested on the following day, MOlesvvorth wns helpless. As the result Johnson was hammered for II runs and Birmingham deprived of seeming win.
 The suspension of Grimes for 10 days Is the severest penalty that could pos sibly befall Molesworth. If the Baron rishthander had drawn a longer period of idleness, it might have been possi- ble to land another pitcher for the rest
