SARAzEN'S PUTTING
ENABLES HAGEN TO
TAKE LEAD FRIDAY

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct Gene
Sarazen, the boy golf wonder, lost the
lead in his 72-hole golf match with
Walter Hagen, British open champion,
for the unofficial title of the world,
when he became erratic with his
puts; while the British champion put
ted superbly throughout the entire
match.
Hagen did not miss single short
put during the SO holes, but Sarazen
missed many at as short distances as
five feet.
Sarazen drove equal to Hagen all
the way and his approach shots were
remarkable, but Hagen took advantage
of his poor playing on the green.
Gene started poorly in the after
noon. He was three down at the end
of the twenty-seventh hole. Once more
he made his struggle on the home
stretch. When the match was finish
ed, the smiling Hagen received an
ovation, but as Sarazen walked to the
clubhouse, there were cries:
You'll come back tomorrow, Gene"
The two players left for New York
to play their final SO holes of the
match.
Their cards for Fridays play:

TEN CENTS A WEEK.

The state Journal believes that the
time has come to reduce the price of
the paper by carrier from 5 cents TO
the old price ofF1O cents a week. This
is a reduction of Ss5s per cent. This
rate will be effective from today.
There has been a substantial reduc-
ton in the cost of white paper, but
in other respects the costs are as high
or higher than before. The price of
white paper is still much greater than
before the war. Labor is as high as
ever in the newspaper business and
postage is higher.
The tendency, however, in many
lines is downward and The State
Journal desires TO conform.
A short time ago the price of this
paper by mail was reduced from $6
to $3.50.
We now feel that city subscribers
should receive the benefit of today's
on street sales the price. will be .
cents a copy. 5 cents on Saturdays.

ASK FOR DECISION
Senate Finance Committee Is
Meeting on BOn6s Plan.
Agreement on McCumber Meas
ure Is Practically Forecast.

Washington. May 29.-The- McCum-
ber soldiers bonus plan apparently
commanded a majority in the senate
finance committee today, but a formal
vote was deferred until Wednesday to
give senators additional time to con-
slider some amendments that were sug-
gested.
Chairman McCumber expressed con-
fidence after the session that his plan
which follows closely the house bill
except that the land settlement feat
ure has been eliminated, would be ap-
proved and in this Democrat men,
bers of the committee agreed.
Both the McCumber proposal and
the Smoot proposition to give veterans
paid up insurance policies in lieu of
all other forms of compensation were
discussed at the committee meeting
which was the first for discussion of
the bonus to which the Democratic
members were admitted
Proponent of the McCumber plan
appeared confident that the committee
on Wednesday would order a favora BILE
report on the amended house bill.
That event the measure would be
placed on the senate calendar, but
whether it would replace the tariff
bill in the near future remained to be
decided.
The committee went into considera-
ton of the bonus problem without any
direct word from President Harding as
te-his views either on the McCumber
plan or the Smoot proposal, both of
which were laid before him in details
several weeks ago. Senator Watson.
Republican, Indiana, who has held
several conferences with the executive

not yet returned from Indiana where
he delivered the key note address at

The proposition of adding the

them were doubtful that any final

MAYOR ON RIGHT TRACK.

Mayor Corwine's announced plan to
reorgan the Topeka police depart
ment on the civil service basis meets
with general approval. His decision
to take the department out of politics
is greeted with sweeping commen-
dation. His ambition to go out of the
city and find an experienced man who
will come here without political in
fluence or personal favoritism and
place the police on metropolitan
footing will, if realized. result in To-
peka's first and only efficient law en-
forcing organization.
The mayor has gone thru many
trying days in his efforts to serve two
terms with a police department on his
hands-and toes. If Topeka has suf-
control and the recent upheaval mas
taught the lesson that has been
needed for so long it has been worth
while.
Now that Mayor Corwine has decid-
ed to inaugurate the modern police
system there should be a general spi-
rit of cooperation on the part of the
citizens of Topeka. The mayor should
not be hindered in any way in his eff
forts. Delegations in favor of this and
that, for this man and that man,
should not be formed for Influence on
the city's eXecutive-this action alone
is the first violation of the plan to
make the department non-politicaI.
The washing from the police scan
dal seems to be just about ready to
hang out on the line. Now if the city
politicians will keep their hands off,
it will dry and be read,- for the bright
est ironing Topeka has known in
years
