AS IT to demonstrate that his victory

IN thirty-s,xhole match at the Holly
wood Golf Club yesterday. By so do
ing Hagen captured the $500 purse Of
fered by the entertaining organization.
The national champion had the ad-
vantage right from the start, for by the
time they had played the sixth hole he
was up on his opponent. They halved
the next, and Brady won the eighth and
ninth, turning for home e down.
Hagen won the eleventh, the thir-
teenth, the fifteenth and the eighteenth,
and the remaining five holes on the in
ward journey were halved In other
words, out of the first round Hagen won
eight holes, Brady two, and eight were
halvcd. The champion made the circuit
in 73, to 80 for his opponent.
After luncheon Brady reduced Hagen's
advantage to up By winning the Sec
ond hole, but the other quickly recov-
cred, taking the third in A. Three
halved holes followed, and the Detroit
golfer became 7 up when he won the
515-yard seventh, the longest hole on
the course, in 5. The eighth and ninth

in 80, to 40 for his opponent.
Hagen further increased his lead at

Hagen had far the better of it on the
greens. whereas Brady was unreliable
The course was stretched to $500 yards,
and Brady said it was one of the best
he had ever seen. Hagen played his
irons like the champion he is, but the
kind of putting displayed may be imag-
ined by the fact that he took only SO
strokes on the green's; in other words
had twelve under Is for the thrty-six
holes
Neither man was able to avail him

St. Louis to Prosecute
Landlords Who Evi6
Owners To Be Hailed Into Court
for Ejeciing Tenant Be-
cause OF Children
Specfu. Corresponds

ST. LOUIS, Sept. THE rent in
quiry Of the Complaint Board took a
new angle when Secretary Marsh an
nounced the city had hired legal talent
to prosecute landlords il they elected
families because they have children.
One landlord, according to the COM
plainant, has ordered three families,
because they have children, tc move
from his fats in the 300 block on
Wisconsin Avenue The rents of fats
occupied by childless families in the
same building also have been in
creased
The complainant called on Marsh
rsonally to-day and told of the order
to move He said he did not object
to paying the 81 increase Marsh in
structed him to ignore the order to
vacate and to send check for his
months rent to the landlord.
'If your landlord then insists upon
ejecting you the city Of St Louis will
take the case TO the courts and make
a jury trial Of it," Marsh promised.
The mplainant said he vas willing
to fight the case in court rather than

10000 See Eaton
Win Bike Title
At the Velodrome

Raymond Eaton, Newark boy, won
the bicycle championship Of America
at the Velodrome in Newark before
10000 fans yesterday by eliminating
Frank l.. Kramer in a semi-fnal heat
of the championship race and finish
ing second to Eddie Madden in the
final heat of the two-mle titular af-
fair. ALI Goullet took third place and
Harry Kaiser was fourth.
Eaton is but a youngster, being
twenty-four years only. He has been
riding about five years, but this is
the first season he has been at all
prominent, and his rise has been moth
ing short of sensational.
The climax in the championship race
came early in the day when Kramer
drew Eaton in semi-final. Had Kramer
defeated Eaton and then won the two
mile race he would have tied his
younger rival in the championship
competition, which would have put it
all up to the tive-mie titular race
which is yet to be decided, but Kramer
failed to beat Eaton and lost a golden
opportunity.
The semihnals are decided at half
mile. Kramer went into the last lap
Of the race leading, but on the back
stretch, when Eaton forged ahead of
him, Kramer raised his hand in pro-
test claiming that Eaton had cut down
on him and forced him on the fiat. but
the referee did not take any action
on kramer's protest and allowed the
race to stand as run, which eliminated
kramer from any further chance for
the title.
The biggest surprise of the day,
though. came in the final of the cham
pionship when Madden defeated Eaton
by outsprinting him on the last lap.
Madden got Il tremendous ovation, and
Eaton, although the champion, was
boocd by the majority of the fans.

nShfnDto1 BureCn
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-An end Of
the shipping delays at great ports
caused by fog is expected to result
from device, contracts for which
have just been signed by the Navy
Department with Earl C. Hanson, an
inventor, Of Los Angeles.
BY the use Of the new device in
connection with the radio compass,
danger and delay to shipping entering
ports during foggy weather will be
greatly decreased, if not virtually elm
mated
Test Of the invention, it was an
nounced to-day, will be made at once
at the naval base at New London and
later in Ambrose Channel, New York
Harbor. AS soon as official tests have
proved satisfactory all the great ports
of the United States will be equipped
so as to defy fog. hail, rain, snow and
sleet.
The invention is simple. A cable is
laid in the centre of ship channels.
Through it is sent an electric current
of low frequency, which, through the
off sound of certain pitch that cannot
be mistaken. The ship hugs the cable
from harbor line to the dock.
On the bridge and in the captain's s
cabin listening devices like telephone
receivers are placed and attached by
wires to the ships hull. The ship fol-
lows the course of the cable Any va
ration is indicated by visible indi-
Gators. BY ear receivers the indicators
may be confirmed at all times Yes
sells going into port will use one cable;
those coming out another.
Along the cable at mile intervals a
section is insulated with lead. The
man on listening duty can tell instant
ly how far the ship has progressed,
and by the cable chart in front can tell
where the cable turns. The new in
vention, according to experts, is as re-
liable as the telephone. 1t will work
IN all conditions of water and weather
and no amount of electricity can af-
feet it.
