food and clothing from the govern.
ment, according to General Gales
when they rebelled without warming
driving the Mexican residents from
the town and looting the stores and
residences.

Price ut Loading Points.
I'VE have a potato harvest of SO
per cent in excess of ti,e crop of last
year. The price Mt the loading points
varies from $3.50 to $3.50 per hun
dred pounds, depending on the Sec
ton where grown and the cost of get
ting them to market. The price, which
is somewhat higher than at this
period last year, is due to a tendency
on the part of the producer to hold
the potatoes for higher prices than
last year. despite the greatly increas-
ed crop, and to the temporary inabil-
lty of the railroads to furnish equip
ment sufficient to move from many
sections the quantity available at this
time. The average price of potatoes
delivered in the markets has closely
followed the price which the producer
has received plus the cost of distribu.

TO PLAY BENEFIT MATCH
Five Professional Golfers Are to
Meet at Bannockburn June II
to Aid Red Cross.

Last year Fred Mcleod and Jack
Burgess. professional golfers at two
of the Washington clubs were defeat
ed in q twenty-one-hole match over
the Bannockburn Golf Club course by
James Spencer. Dave Burgess and
Howard Beckett in an extra hole
match. This defeat has rankled in the
hearts of the two losers. particularly
as they had their opponents dormie I
down. Spencer winning the last hole
by running down a chip shot from the
edge of the green. A short time ago
Mcleod and Burgess. who preside at
the Columbia Country Club and the
Cnevy Chase Club, respectively, chal-
lenged the other three to a return
match. and the challenge was accepted
with pleasure, the only possible draw
back being the lack of a course. Ban
nockburn members were very much in
terested in the match last year, and
getting wind of the proposed match
offered their course on June II for the
professionals to stage their match.
At the suggestion of the profession
ais themselves 1t was decided to hold
the affair in the nature of a benefit ex-
hibition for the Red Cross. The plan
as formulated by Bannockburn officials
is to provide the professionals at the
local clubs with badges which will be
sold to prospective watchers of the
match, and 1t is expected to raise a
large sum for the benefit of the Red
Cross. Last year the pros played for a
purse put up by the Bannockburn Club,
but this year they win play for moth
ing but revenge. and to give the gal
leryites their moneys worth. Bannock-
burn officials are looking for a large
turnout on Sunday, June II.

CESS last week had score of IS over
his home course. The Chevy Chase
course is tremendously changed by
wind conditions. For instance, playing
the thirteenth hole the early part of
the week, when there was little or no
wind, it was a relatively easy midiron
shot and long player could get home
with a mashte But Friday afternoon
1t took a very good ball with the
wooden club to get home Another
instance is the fourteenth hole. With
no wind it is quite easy to get on
the green with a drive and mashie. but
into the wind it becomes much more
serious proposition and a very hard
hole to reach in two shots.
