GOLF MATCH ON 18TH
Incident on Oakmont Links
Proves No Large Gallery Can
Be Handled Without Ropes
NEXT TOURNEY IN NEW YORK
BY GRANTIAND RICE

OakmOnt Country Club, Aug. %
There Is still a lengthy aftermath of
discussion around the Oakmont Club as
to the effect of the incident on the
twelfth hole Saturday afternoon. Golf
matches have been won before with
drivers, brassies, mashies, niblicks and
putters. but this is the first time one
was officially and finally decided with
megaphone.
Jones in the morning round had been
8 down after playing the twelfth. Yet
he squared the match. At this same
juncture in the afternoon he would
have been only 2 down, as the drive
is the toughest feature of this hole
and he had laced out a nectarine with
an easy par in sight. 1t is almost
certainty that he would have been
only 2 down at the twelfth in the
afternoon if the megaphonist had kept
quiet. As it was the upset was so
terrific that even a more experienced
golfer would have cracked.
No Chance
Heron, too, would not have been
helped in the knowledge that he had
started slipping at this point in the
morning. But there was no chance to
slip when the other man had played
five shots and was still buried in a
trap. 1t was proof enough that no big
golf gallery can be handled without
ropes, as this was not the sole mis-
take made along the same lines.
The two fnalists were about equal
off the tee, both in direction and dis
tance, with Jones having a slight edge
In their iron play Jones had the firmer,
crisper style of stroke and secured
better results. 1t was merely a mat

CIGAR, DEALER
UNCLE SAMUEL
WILL GET YOU

Dealers in cigars and cigarettes
who have made the new internal reve
nue. tax an excuse to task on few
cents additional profit on their wares
may soon find themselves in the tolls
Of the government, for such prOfiteer
ing is forbidden by law. Section 1919
of the inernal revenue law fixes a
penalty of fine of $1,000 or impris-
onment for one year, or both, for ac
tions of this kind, and in some sec
tions of the country internal revenue
collectors have already begun to
make tobacco dealers feel the dis
pleasure of the federal government
for violations.
J. P. Carter, collector of internal
revenue in this district, would not
say definitely what he intended to do
in the matter, but it is well known
that deputies from his office have
been compiling data on dealers who
have advanced their prices beyond
the sum required to cover the addi-
tional revenue tax and this data will
be forwarded to Washington, from
whence will come instructions on
what procedure to take.
at is not considered ethical for a
federal official to give out informa-
tion of what he may do in q given
case until he has received complete
instructions from Washington" said
Mr.. Carter "But we are we'll aware
that violations of the law have oc-
Cured and are daily occurring in
Los Angeles and we have never been
Justly accused of permitting such vio-
lations to exist without applying the
remedy. Further than that | am not
at liberty to make any statement"
In many instances cigarettes that
retailed for Is and 20 cents
per package of twenty have
been increased 5 cents per package,
although the additional revenue tax
is only 2 cents. The same ratio of
increase has occurred in the prices
of cigars
