Polo and Golf Big
 Sport Attractions
 At Coronado Beach

Polo and golf are vyng with each other for popularity honors at Coro- nado Beach these days, both receiv- ing more than an ordinary amount of interest. Sunday saw a gruelling, scrappy contest on the Coronado Country Club polo grounds, when the Point Judith Tigers defeated the Coro- nado (Al1- Western) by a score of 13 to s. A feature of the game was the spirited work of the Fleischmann brothers-Max and Julius-who played on opposite sides. Both are strong players and put plenty of pep" into their work. E. ". Hopping, of the Point Judith Tigers, created much comment by his superb horsemanship, accurate hitting and the ability to drive the ball direct to the goal from any angle or any part of the field
 Many entries have been received at the Coronado Country Club from con testants for preliminary golf matches and interest is reported to be growing as time passes.

New members were Shortridge,
California; Odie, Nevada; Nichol-
ason, Colorado; Waller, Maryland ;
Norbeck, South Dakota; Stanfield
Oregon, and Ernst, Kentucky.
Veteran Republican members
also held their seats. New faces on
the coveted front row included Sen
ator Kenyon Of Iowa. who took the
seat Of Secretary Fall, the new sec
retary of the interior department
and Senator Fernald of Maine, who
drew the seat of former Senator
Gronna Of North Dakota.
The senate recessed to attend the
funeral Of Champ Clark, and as
there we're no communications from
the White house when the senators
returned, adjournment was taken
until Monday noon.
