out that the conference can be

disarmament is not considered

confused with discussions and
decisions regarding Pacific ocean

conference will also take up.
Too much stress can not be
put on these two points. AS we

for results that will tighten the
tax burden of the world and de-
stroy the prospect of future
wars if diplomats are allowed to
log-roll and wire-pull behind

year was real effective work, and
it's more recent report on terni-

changes did not want the COM

that the Republican administra-
tion and congressional leaders
agreed with the exchanges on
the proposition.
Nearly every bill which has
passed congress recently, pro-

business or calling for investiga-

trade commission or actually
contained provisions barring the
commission from having a hand

time in twelve years, Charles Evans,
jr., national amateur golf champion,
will fight for the western open anna
teur title today when he meets Rudy
Knepper, Iowa state champion, in the
final round of the western amateur
championship tournament at West

Because of his long experience in
tournament play, Evans is regarded
as a probable winner of today's strug-

six days of hard fought golf in the
Iowa state meet just before the pres

cordingly is regarded as the .fresher
of the two.
Evans came thru a brilliant match
with Harrison r. Jim Johnston, of
the st. Paul, in the semi-finaI yester-
day because Johnston fell down at the
crucial stage at the game in which he
starred. Short shots are Johnston S

WeLsonisn1s on Golf
The Pendulum Putt.

You will get better results by using
the pendulum putt on sand or very
smooth greens. If you are off your
putting 1 would advise you to try it.
There is nothing difficult about this
kind of putin fact, it is very sim
pie. You might convince yourself of
the axiom that a truly balanced ball
will roll straight if hit on a smooth
green, by a putter faced and carried
thrus accurately to the hole.
OF course the green may be rough
and the ball may not be true, but the
point is to know that a perfect ball hit
perfectly on a perfect surface will roll
perfectly.
In using the pendulum swing, stand
with both heels together and your
shoulders square with the line from
the ball to the hole. Face the putter
at right angles on a straight line to
the hole. 1t is faced in this position
all thru the stroke. Keep your body
perfectly still, the wrists and hands
alone are concerned in the play. Your
eyes should be directly over the ball.
Now with this position if you keep
the face Of the putter at right angles
all thru the stroke the ball undoubt-
edly will go straight to the hole Re
member, also, to keep your head still,
your eye on the ball and then on the
spot where the ball originally was at
the start until you have finished the
stroke. After you have finished the
stroke if the ball is to the right of the
hole you will find the heel of the put
ter closer to the hole and if the ball
is to the left of the cup you will find
the toe of the putter nearer the hole.
After you have conquered the direc-
ton all that is left is to spend enough
time and practice to gauge the proper
distance. With a little stiff practice
you will receive the necessary conf
dence in the stroke.
Hundreds of matches are lost on the
green. You may win yours there.

MAY Fight DEMPSEY AGAIN
French Champ Now Reported Anxious
for Return Match With Champ.

is reported in boxing circles here, win
seek a return match for the cham
pionship, believing that by adopting
an open style of battle he may be able
to win.
In a statement made at his train
ing camp after the Jersey City match
Carpenter said he would fight any
man in the world, excepting Dempsey.
but his closest friends now say that he
has changed his mind. Georges dis
obeyed the orders of his advisers and
forced the fighting with the cham
pion, and therein, it is claimed, he
made his biggest mistake.
Should Georges again be matched
with Dempsey, and the bout held in
New York state, where the boxing
rules permit fifteen rounds to a deci-
sion. he might win the championship
by outpointing Dempsey. Carpen-
tiers friends believe that he is clever
enough to box Dempsey and stay away
for fifteen rounds.

Hurley's loss by default robbed the
gallery OF another contender for the
club championship. The veteran golfer
forfeited his matches in order to at
tend the western amateur champion
ship tourney in Chicago.
Without a doubt the five best
golfers in the Country club are Hur-
ley, Griggs, Felix, Allen and Hobart,
OF this array, Allen, Felix and Hobart
have survived the storm.
The second flight is between the
winners of the. MacFarlane-Gourley
match and CropPer. Choppers de-
feat of Thrill placed him in the semi
finals. MacFarlane has not been able
to show his strength as he has taken
all his events by default Gourley de-
feated Dillon and Williams. Chopper
defeated Peterson, Blair and Thrill.
The first flight consolation is be-
tween the winner of the Ackerman-
Sallee match and the Straehan-C atlin
match. Catlin seems to be the favor
ite in this event. He has been shoot
ing some fast golf since his three
weeks of rest. durfAg his superintend-
ency of the construction of the club

The table above represent the
brackets in the Country club cham
pionship flights at the end of the mid
week play Thursday evening. The
semi-finals will be played Sunday.
AS it stands today the champion
ship rests between Kistler. Hobart, Al
len and Felix. In the semi-finals,
two will be eliminated. The dope
favors Hobart in the match with Kist-
Ter. Hobart is last years city cham
pion and his defeat of Griggs this
week was one of the most sensational
of the tournament. Last year in the
city championship Hobart defeated
Griggs in the 36-hole event, finals.
Altho Hobert insists that Griggs is q
better golfer the latter seems to meet
his Waterloo when he meets the city
champion. Hobart is a thoro student
of the game and sends out a vicious
wooden shot.
In the event Hobart defeats Kistler
and Kistler has fought his way to
the Hobart bracket with mighty good
golf-he is destined to meet the win
ner of the Allen-Felix match. 49,
The Allen-Felix fight should be
worth Witnessing. Here are two of
the best six golfers in the city. Allen
is last years Country club champion
and a former champion at Shawnee.
Felix is q former stare champion.
Both play rafting fine sticks. The
winner in this affair should draw a
big gallery-and it is predicted that
the eighteenth hole will about decide
the winner.

What Is GoB2
BY CHARLES M. HARGER.

Some folks who have never played
golf think it is waste of time and
effort AS a matter of fact, it is
neither; it is a method of forgetting
business and household cares and ac-
quiring tan, fresh air and health, as
well as pleasure. No one can tell you
about it-you> must try it out for
yourself. If you do not enjoy it you
are one of a thousand. Here is what
a professional golfer says about it:
Golf is probably as ancient as the
Garden of Eden. In fact, rumor has
it that Eve fell out with Adam be-
cause he spent too much time putting
on the green with coeoanuts for golf
balls. 1t has also been said that the
Scotch appropriated the highban and
the game of golf from the Irish: that
the first golf club was shillellah
and that Brian Boru played golf CEN
turtles before even the Scottish dialect
was invented.
Golf has caused more divorces
than intemperance, and more separa-
tons than affinities. No man can
succeed at it without neglecting his
business, deserving his friends and
abandoning his family. Some players
spend half their time dressing and
cleaning their clubs and the re-
mainder of the time looking for lost
balls.
The man who invented golf de-
serves a monument as broad as the
Pyramids and as high as the Eiffel
Tower. 1t has saved more lives than
the doctors: brought health and hap
piness to thousands. As a developer
of character it has no equal.
Golf makes a man patient and en-
during. It. keeps the fires of hope
continually alive. It gives one re-
spect for ones opponent, and even
makes an enemy endurable. It is the
cleanest, fairest sport in the world.
Show ma a good golf PLAYER and
will show you a clear Drained, well
balanced, generous, manly, fine fell
low.
Golf was invented by Scotchman.
It is generally too fast for the Ger
mans. too slow for the Irish. The
French don't take to it. The English
are born with a sixth golf sense. Be
lieving in reincarnation, I hope to re-
turn to earth in a million years and
be a perfect player.

Bit
Using field glasses from the east
vefandas of the Country club has be-

to quit the game early in order to be
with their families. With good glasses
the porch fiends can see putting and
driving plainly across the course to
No. green, No. 2 tee and green and
No. 8 tee and green. The balls are
visible plainly from this distance. A
person may get all the thrills of the
game without hearing the language.

A Country club enthusiast went to
the telephone to tell his wife that he
had been delayed in the game and
would be home about an hour later
than he had planned. AS a matter of
fact, he had planned to play another
five holes Just as he mad his wife
