front of the position from which it had been played.
 His opponent said: I think could claim the hole, but I will not do so in the peculiar circumstances.
 "The question is: Did he lose the hole by smoothing the heel marks?"
 The St. Andrews decision was:
 Every golfer should smooth his heel marks in a bunker, but the proper time to do so is after the ball has been played from the bunker, when no objection can be raised. In the circumstances the rules com mittee is of the opinion that the player did not incur any penalty"

LONDON, March 12.-Dub golfers who have the majority of their troub- les in the hazards have been given consideration. The Royal and An, cent St. Andrews committee has ruled that heel marks in a bunker are not actual hazards.
 The Wimbledon Club sent the fol lowing query to St. Andrews:
 "A player played a stroke in a bunker, but did not get the ball out. Before playing his next stroke he smoothed over with his foot the heel marks made by his stance.
 "This is no way improved the lie of his ball, which lay several feet in

UNITED STATES AFTER TRADE
 so. AMERICA

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Ad-
 ministration has decided upon defi- nite policy of making hay while the
 sun shines in Latin America, even If
 economic and financial blizzards pre-
 vail in Europe.
 cedented opportunities exist for the extension of American prestige and American commerce in the Continent
 to the South.
 Secretary Hughes visited Rio de Janeiro when the Brazilian Centen- nial opened. and he is now said to be
 planning to visit Uruguaf, Argentina, Chile and Peru.
 Another achievement was the recent
 successful termination of the Tacna-
 Africa dispute between Chile and Peru
 at their Washington conference. The Central American Conference just concluded, with satisfactory ar engagements for a permanent court of
 arbitration and a limitation of arma- ments agreement, is another example. Costa Rica Protocol Coincident with this conference, the United States has negotiated with
 Costa Rica a protocol which apparent ly clears the way to the construction by this country of transoceanic canal over the Ncaraguan route some time later.
 British officials are considerably chagrined over the closing of an agreement with the Brazilian Govern ment to send an American naval mis- sion to reorganize the naval defense system of Brazil. There have been interpellations in the British House of Commons during which members called the Government to account for permitting the United States to twin out" in this matter.
 During the same sessions of the l House of Commons the British Gov
 ernment was urged to beware of the l SIOWIuS lllluolCS Ul LlG OIlIGu oldLcS
 in Latin America.
 Brazil Plan Boomerang? The American naval mission to Bra, | gil, however, was something of boom,
 erang. Brazil, being Portuguese in
 stead of Spanish, has occupied a pc
 culiar position with regard to other
 Latin-American countries. Brazil is
 the largest and potentially the richest
 country in South America, and be-
 cause of the half-veiled enmity with
 which she has been regarded by other
 nations of Spanish origin she has de
 termined upon strong policy of ma
 tional defense. For this reason Brazil
 has rejected suggestions from the League of Nations for the limitation
 of her army and navy.
 l The reflex Of this Governments de.
 cision to send Admiral Vogelgesang
 to Brazil as head of the American com
 mission of naval experts has not been
 good. Argentina and Chile, the nat. | ural enemies of Brazil and against | whom Brazil is now developing de I fense, are alarmed, and the Argentine 1 and Chilean press has abounded of l late in criticisms of the American mis. sion.

HOUSE TO FIGHT
 II OUT OVER ROAD
 CORNERSTONE ERS
Conflicting Highway Meas ureS Will Be Reported
 FaVorably Today
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE HERALD i MOntgonery. Ala. Aug. 23

Two conflicting highway commis- sion bills will be favorably reported in the house tomorrow. one by the committee on public roads and high ways providing for a commission of II members; the other. by the com mittee on ways means and appro- priations, creating a commission of three men. Representative C. w. Ash craft of Lauderdalc. chairman of the ways and means committee. stated tonight that the governor favors the commission of three men and that the favorable report on the bill so providing was adopted at the govern ors request
 The two bills to be reported to- morrow represent differences of opinion as to the administration of the millions of highway. funds which have so far proven irreconcilable, one school of thought favoring a com mission of three men as the most efficient; the other holding that the people were promised representation by congressional districts on the commission Some complicated ma neuvering in committees, has taken place by the rival factions
 Reduced by senate.
 The senate some weeks ago passed the bill of Senator Poster reducing the highway commission from 12 as at present constituted to three mem bers. This bill was referred in the house to the committee on public roads and highways. which several days ago reported the bill with a substitute by C. s. Culver of Etowah, restoring the feature in the present law which provides for member from each congressional district. with the addition of a full-time salaried chairman making II members in all. '.''''''.
 This substitute bn was recommit- ted to the public roads committee after having been reported in the house, and at a meeting tonight an effort was made to amend it by re- ducing the commission to five mem bers. 4 motion to that effect by Frank Embry Of st. Clair was de- feated and the substitute bill will re reported in the house tomorrow with minor amendments.
 The house on waNs and means had had referred tC it a highway bill by C. f. Ashcr8ft and at a meeting to- day tias committee voted to report favorahiy the Ashcraft bin with 8 substitute which is- practically the same as the Foster senate bill which was thrown out of the house public roads committee, providing for a con- mission of three men. This action was taken at the request of Govern or Brandon. Mir. Ashcraft stated Sev- eral members of the public roads and highway committee expressed themselves tonight as opposing the action of the ways and means com mittee in reporting a bill dealing with a highway subject which in it's main feature is identical with the measure which the public roads and highway committee defeated A wig orous fight is pronounced certain in the house on the mea sufes.

 AUSTRALIAN STAR
National Doubles Title May Still Be Retained By
 Americans

BROOKLINE. Mass. August 2S- The lawn tennis doubles champion ship of the United States may yet remain in the keeping of Americans by virtue of the success of R. N Williams, II. of Bryn Mawr Pa, and w. Washburn, New York, on the course of the Longwood Cricket club at Chestnut Hill today The Amer lcan Davis cup team of 1921 defeat ed the crack Australian Davis cup challengers, James o.

 The defeat of the Australians came as a surprise to many. Yes terday they looked most impressive in administering a trouncing to Will liam M. Johnston and Clarence J Griffin, the three times national champions, but today the Austral- ians played spotty tennis.
 The versatile Hawkes., who yes terday ran wild with his placeme ents QOW II CGulCI court lOullu every ave- nue blocked. The Americans refused to be drawn to the. edges of the rec tangle to cover expected alley shots and gambled with the left-handel always. After two decisions made by linesmen against the Australians in the third set had aroused com ment from the onlookers, the visi. tors had the favor of the crowd, the largest of the tournament.
 Williams was the master hanC on the courts. He won nine of hls ten service games.
 In the first set the Americans pileC up 42 points as compared with tho Australians 20. Wssh6urn was broken on his first service, but h' got his revenge on his next two winning them at love. The secono set showed the Americans at theil worst They scored only 16 points Anderson and his partner ran wild judgment were almost unerring.
 In the third set the American Da' wis cup team captain was at his best and was nippng the best efforts o1 the Australians with neatly turned shots.
 The final game of the match was a dismal end to a brilliant seXhibi- tion. Andersons out on Williams service brought the score to matct point ond the score was deuce or Williams net. Then Washburr smashed over placement and An derson weakly netted to end the match.
