Murphy Professional
At One Of Best Golf

! Eddie Murphy, now professional

of the best golf courses in the coun-
try during the season of 1920 when
he takes over his duties at Green

Murphy says the Green Hills club
has recently purchased 100 acres
close to the heart of town, 20 acres
of which are in thick blue grass.
"The new course probably will
be the scene of the Missouri cham
pionship matches after this year"

KEARNS SEES NO
CHANCE TO FIGHT
AT TIA JU ana
Oempsey's Manager Says
Site Is Bad; No Ade-
quate Means Of
Reaching 1t.

Los Angeles, Cal. Jan. 12.-Jack
Kearns, manager for Jack Demp-
sey, sees little chance for holding
the Dempsey Carpenter fight at
Tia Juana, Mexico. He believes it
must go abroad.
81 can't see chance in the world
of holding the fight at Tia Iuana,"
said Kearns today. Until | went
to San Diego and Tia;uana last
week, I thought there was a posi-
bility Of holding the bout there, but
after going over the ground per-
sonally, | came to the conclusion
that Lower California is not the
proper site.
"Jim Coffroth told me that he had
never stated definitely that he
planned to stage the fight at Tia
Juana. His Chief aim is to be the
promoter, whether in Mexico, the
United States, England or France.
he doesn't appear to care. 1t seems
to me that all this Tia Juana talk has
been to boost another enterprise
promoted by Coffroth and operating
there.
GAS far as can see now, there
doesn't appear to be much chance
of holding the fight in the United
States at all. Judging from the pres
ent outlook, London or Paris will
land it. ...
Jack Kearns proposes to forget"
all further talk or negotiations for
"a Dempsey-Carpentier fight any
place until the middle of February,
when. according to a cablegram by
him from Paris, an option on Car
pentier's services held by Charles
Cochran, British fight promoter, ex-
pires.
CAN the talking in the world from
this or that promoter as to what
sized purse he will give means moth
ing unless Carpenter as we'll as
Dempsey, can sign" said Kearns. 81
have cable from Nate Lewis, who
is with Pal Moore in Paris. saying
that Carpenter is tied up with
Cochran until the middle of Febru-
airy. I am going to sit tight until
that time, then issue an invitation to

HUSKER QUINTET
STARTS WEST ON
FOUR-GAME TRIP
Twelve Players Leave This
Morning to Play in
Colorado.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 12.-(Special.
The Cornhusker basket ball team,
including II men, will leave Tues
day morning for Colorado, where
they will engage the Colorado col
lege quintet and the Univercity OF
Colorado team in two games each,
beginning Wednesday.
Coach Schissler gave his men a
final workout this evening prepar-
atory for the trip. He announced
that he intended to use probably
two entirely different teams during
the games in the western state. The
expense of the trip is the only reason
he is not taking three full teams
with him, the coach announced.
The program includes games
January IA and Is with the Colorado
college team at Colorado Springs,
and contests on the 10th and 18th
with the University of Colorado
quintet at Boulder. Reports show
that both schools have strong
teams, the Husker coach said, but
he was confident that the Nebraska
tossers would continue their record
of no defeats, maintained thus far.
The men who still make the trip
are Captain Shellenberg, Paynter,
Jungmeier, Mum, Newman, Bailey,
Patty, Pickett, Russell, Smith,
IBekins and Hussey.

BLOCK STEPS TO
TEST VALIDITY OF
FEDERAL DRY LAW
Supreme Court Denies Motions
Filed on Behalf Of New Jer-
sey Retail Liquor Men.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Steps to
bring test proceedings to determine
constitutionality of the federal pro-
hibition amendment received set
back when the supreme court de-
cided, for lack of jurisdiction, mo-
tons filed on behalf of the Retail
Liquor Dealers association of New
Jersey seeking permission to insti-
tute an original suit.
The denial, however, does not end
efforts to expedite determination of
the question, for motions filed by
Rhode Island, asking similar per-
mission. were urged and remain to
be acted upon As the federal amend
ment is effective Friday, action on
the Rhode Island motion. within the
next few days is anticipated
The order denying permission to
bring the New Jersey suit was made
orally by Chief Justice White. who
held the motion to file the case
rested upon plain disregard of two
principles of jurisdiction that has
been settled from the beginning"
MUST consent 10 QUIT.
One, he said, was that citizen of
a state could not bring suit against
the state without its consent, while
the other was that the federal con-
stitution does not create jurisdiction
but only apportions it and according
ly under the constitution the SUI
prerne court had no jurisdiction in
such a case as that from New Jersey.
This attitude upheld the conten<
tons of Solicitor General King, and
New Jersey authorities, in their
arguments made January 5.
In attacking the constitutionality
of the amendment, Attorney Gen
eral A. Rice of Rhode Island, ques-
toned the validity of its ratification
as well as the passage of the res
olution by congress and asserted
the amendment was an interference
with state police powers.
Case for Supreme Court.
In a brief filed, the Rhode Island
attorney general argued that en-
forcement of national prohibition
would affect injuriously the rights
of Rhode Island and that because
the defendants named in the case
are outside the boundaries of that
state, the supreme court was the
proper tribunal in which to bring
the suit
