TEE, PARKWAY AND GREEN
Margins in championship-
By CHICK EVANS

The golf championship will thrill additional millions of sport enthu- siasts as the game continues to in- crease in popularity because of the narrow margins by which the cham pion emerges with his title plus the The golf championship provides a race that for thrills has no parallel
 How narrow this race is is well Illustrated by the figures which ap- ply to the championship match be- tween Jess Sweetser and myself at Brookiine this year. I have just been looking over the cards for this match, which read.

MySei, Tn D
 Adding these totals it is seen that we played 34 holes. For these Sweet ser required 137 strokes, while took 142 strokes.
 sweetsers average. therefore. Is 5-S4 strokes per hole, and my average is 4 6-34 strokes per hole. s The Difference
 The difference between us amount ed to 1-34 of a stroke per hole. and the margin was Sweetser's and gave him the championship. Where in all the world of sport is there any thing to compare with that?
 It was this very narrow margin In favor of the fine-playing New York boy. too. which made him champion-and nothing else. l mean that luck and such other factors had very little to do with it. I have heard critics of the game say that Sweet ser was very lucky in spots; that didn't get any of the breaks that a player can expect here and there through an important match. Such ! statements add nothing whatever to the facts In the case, which were that Sweetser was 134 of stroke per hole better than l was.
 Luck Counts Little
 Which reminds me that's there Is very little of the element of luck" in the important golf match. Many times when the ball fails by 6 mar row margin to do what tho player shooting 1t has designed 1t to do, the fact of its failure is not to be as- cribed to bad luck" It failed be- cause 1t was not played exactly as 1t should have been played. Often the ball falls Just short of the green and rolls into a trap. as happened With me at the sixth hole In this match. Friends were inclined to cheer me with expressions concerning my bad Tuck" though I knew the in- stant the ball left my mid iron blade that I had not hit 1t hard enough.
 The wonder to me was that 1t reached so far and got into the trap. l was so far back from the green that l concluded the shot was SO long, for an.iron. that it might not be accurate. but was a little short for a wood, so I tried to lay mp to the side of the trap guarding the green-I mean tried to be up even with the trap. or beyond it, but well to the right go as not to be in 1t. | The trap did not reach across the this rather than try to reach the green itself, intending to take my chances on laying the ball up to the pin and getting down with one putt.
 Had that shot worked out might have overcome Sweetser's margin of 1-34 of a stroke per hole. at least | on that hole. but it failed. And 1t failed because I didn't put the ball where I shold have put it-not be- cause of luck.
 The time is rapidly approaching when tens of thousands of golf fans | will understand plays of this kind perhaps see them reflected with cleo tric lights from the front of news paper offices during the champion ship tournament. I hope sol

TOKYO STARTS FIGHT
 TO DECREASE PRICES

Tokio, July 2s.-The city of Tokio has entered the field actively to les sen the burdens of high prices for the poor people Like food and clothing and other things the rents in Tokio continue unreasonably high; in smany cases higher than at any time d1cing the war boom.
 It in this way that the city hopes to give the greatest help to the labor ing people. Two large rooming houses already have been constructed in the slum districts. Each will house about 200 persons, and the price is only five sen (about 1-2 cents) a. night. Food also is served at cost at these places. In nearly every ward the city has also established municipal markets, where rice, fish and the vegetables and pie kles that form a part of the Japanese meal may be purchased cheaper than elsewhere.
 The city bath houses. however, have made the greatest hit with the people; a reasonable price for the daily bath appears to be more appreciated than cheap food.

INTERPRETATION OF
 THE COURT DECISION

Washington, July 29-The text of the Mexican Foreign Office interpre- tation of the Supreme Court decision follows:
 'sUnder date of May 12, 1922, Mag istrates of the Supreme Court conscd- cred certain amparis, or prayers TOT protection filed before the said h1gn judicial body against acts of the Ex- ecutive power of the Republic and of the Department of Industry and Com merce these anparoS relating to the explo:tation of sub-soil products in the National petroleum zone.
 vorably the requests for, protection. indicating that. the court felt it had clear and definite jurisprude dence upon the non-retroactfvlty Of Art1cle 27 of the Constitution, and denied to that article all confiscatory effect.
 ..In the discussion which ensued they arrived at the full conviction that Article 27 of our Constitution could not inva1idate interests created prior to the adoption of the said Magma Charta, either through its text or through its fundamental spirit.
 "On the contrary the article re- ferred to, far from pretending it should be applied retroactively, in its fourth para graph asserts with abso- lute precision that this effect should not be given to it.
 Five requests for amparo or pro tection having been granted by the Supreme Court, being these filed. by the Tamiahue Petroleum Company. which will serve in the future as basis for interpretation of the laN in cases which, like those decided, fall within the constitutional precept re- ferred to.

 Most of the slides depict stories of tation bureau. For instance, there is the case of an 1S-year-old boy who after losing a leg in an industrial ac- cident was placed in employment training with a baking company and is now a regularly qualified and sal slides show the progress of two young women who lost their right hands while operating presses in industrial establishments and have been trained for clerical work so that today they have more congenial and remunera- tive employment than before they were hurt.
 American exhibits at the exposition will be guarded by a detachment of the Marine Corps, 160 strong. These men come from a number of camps, and many are members of the famous Marine organization which fought at Belleau Woods, in July, 1918. Others are youngsters in the service.

WILD ANIMALS ARE
 FACING EXTINCTION
 IN MANY COUNTRIES
Of Deer Fast Fad ing From Forests Of Gal ifornia, Says Official Re port.
By ELLIS H. MARTIN, International News Service Staff Cor reSDOudent.


 San Francisco, July 29-Some spe- cies of wild game are threatened with extinction even in California, last treat refuge of America's wild life.
 Reports of the Forest Service to the State Fish and Game Commis- sion on conditions in the national forests of the State show that the number of mule deer taken in Lassen and ,Modoc counties is so great that extinction of the species is threaten ed unless additional protection is given, so to preserve breeding stock.
 Tree squirrels in Southern Califor- nia are becoming so rare that a clos ed season for term of years is rec commended. This measure is also are becoming much reduced in their principal habitat-Mono and Inyo counties. The grouse, although sell dom hunted, is hardly holding its own in most of the mountain districts. the report shows.
 To nature lovers, however, the re- port this year contained some grat1- fying features. The few bands or elk and antelope remaining in the State are on the increase, and noun tain sheep, which were on a far way to total extinction, have now reached a total of IT'S. The estimated num- Der of elks is 79.
 The estimated number of deer. in the national forests is 1S4,7S5, and the reported kill the past season was 7O67 The reported kill, of course, was much less than the actual kill: The Forest Service urges reduction of the bag limit on deer, the establish ment of additional game refuges ana enlargement of existing ones
 An increase in the number Of game wardens to make more effective enforcement possible of existing game laws is urged.
