COLLEGE GOLF MEET
PROMISES TO RIVAL
NATIONAL AMATEUR
Sweetser, Knepper and

Among Entries.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light
New York, April 5.-With the as
surance that none of our great trio
of intercollegiate golfers will abandon
his class room in favor of spring golf
in England, the American inter-col-
legiate golf tournament assumes great
Importance.
Indeed, with Rudy Knepper Of
Princeton, WIN in the Trans-Siss-
issippi and Iowa state champion
Jesse Sweetser, the national amateur
champion, and Bobby Jones of Georgia
Tech and Harvard, there is no reason
why the approaching intercollegiate
meet should not be a close rival in a
point of general interest to the ma
tional amateur meet itself.
Certainly with such players as
Jones. Knepper and Sweetser, Pol
lack Body of Dartmouth. holder of the
1922 intercollegiate title, Mark Cum
Minis of Princeton and lot of other
youngsters who have yet to attain
prestige but are dangerous performers.
the links at Siwanoy should be n
center Of great interest between June
&c and June 80.
Bobby Jones has never played in
intercollegiate golf tournament al
though as a member of the Georgia
Tech team i'll past years he .partici-
pated in a number of dual meets.
Sweetser has won the intercollegiate
championship but has never played
against Knepper in the Intercollegiate.
All in all. there will be plenty going
forward in Siwanoy to the interest of
golf fans generally. as well as that
of persons affiliated with the various
institutions involved in the matches.
There is no question that the meet
will do great deal for competitive
golf among the colleges. Its present
status. as college sport will be
grasped when it is pointed out that
very few institutions possess golf links
and victory or defeat in dual matches
have been matters [ indiff, renee TO
the great body of the students. But
with all these blazing top-line amateurs
involved in the forthcoming meet. col

STATE SENATOR ALLEN NOT
TO RUN FOR REELECTION

TRENTON, Aug. 14:-State SEN
ator Collins B. Allen, Republican,
of Salem, was at the state house yes
terday. His term expires this year
but the senator who has served three
terms of nine years is not a candi-
date for reelection. He explained
that he had given his word he would
not run again and he intends to keep
it.
When asked about his anticipated
appointment as treasurer of the In
Bridge and Tunnel Com
mission, Senator Allen explained that
his appointment was contingent upon
the retirement of Col. Edward I.
Edwards, Jr., son of the former
governor. The latter at the April
meeting of the Commission an
nounced he would resign but to
date has not done SO, said the Sem
ator.
The selection of the new treas
urer requires the approval Of the
respective parts of the commission
handling the Pennsylvania-New Jer-
.sey Bridge over the Delaware from
Camden to Philadelphia and the
New York-New Jersey Tunnel under
the Hudson from Jersey City to New
York. After each section of the
commission has acted then 1t must
be ratified by the interstate COM
mission in joint session. 1t is under
stood that the Pennsylvania half of
the bridge commission has bee sup
porting the retention of Col. Ed
wards.

Strand Attraction

There are many popular comedi-
ans in the scree world, but when 1t
to a funmaker who brings out
the true essence of the American
youth, Johnny Hines, the star in the
new feature comedy, Sure Fire
Flint billed at the Strand theatre
today, is in a class by himself. Mr..
Hines is the typical American boy.
Having lived and been brought up in
a small town where a youth is free
to play boyish pranks as every true
blooded American lad does, Johnny
has instilled in all his pictures just
that class of comedy that is real and
free from stinted stunts. 1t is al
most safe to say that Johnny Hines
is the most popular comedian among
the juvenile set of picture goers. His
comedy is clean and natural. He
plays just the sort of pranks any boy
would play at a party, on his teacher,
or on his boss. He Is n of those
fellows who, in his fun making, can
take a joke upon himself as well as
play it on the other fellow. In none
of his pictures does he want to be
the whole show" He likes to see
others get a chance. For that reason
his manager, Charlie Burr, who pro-
duces all the comedians pictures,
surrounded him with a notable cast.
They are men and women of note
and reputation. and while Johnny is
the star, he delights in seeing others
share with him all thai is worth
while.

failed to keep his mouth shut about
the matter he would be killed.
The second letter was received on
August 8 and again instructed Nun
ziata to turn the $4,000 over to John
Moccio Opltory for the same pur-
pose. The letter went on TO say that
Nunziata was not the only n on
whom the demand had been made
for the money and as the others
were coming across he should also.
He was informed that the bunch
cared neither for the law nor the
police and If he said a word he
would be killed. The letter called to
his attention that he had paid no
attention to the former communica-
ton and If he failed to heed this one
he would be killed anyway.
During the intermission between
the two letters Mr.. Nunziata received
a telephone call from the "Black
Hand" demanding that he come
across.
In swearing out his complaint
Nunziata informed Recorder Cess
vein that he recognized the voice Of
the party talking ver the telephone
as thai of one of the three men ar
rested. Another of the trio is John
Moccio Opitory, who is mentioned IN
the letters as being the one TO whom
the money Is to be turned over.
Both letters contained pictures OF
a heart pierced by a dagger, the sign
of death.

HOME OF SOPHUS GREISEN
ENTERED; NO LOOT TAKEN

FORDS, Aug. 14:-The home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sophus Greisen, of
Raritan township, near here, was
entered sometime between Thurs
day and Sunday night by thieves and
ransacked but without much success.
The Greisens left town on Thursday
and motored along the Mohawk
Trail. The burglars made an open
ing first in the porch screen door,
opened the porch door and by max
ing a hole in the window got to the
front door key lachet and SO en-
tered the home.
This is the fourth time that the
home Of the Greisen family was
visited by burglars in seven years.
The state troopers investigating the
robbery found a pack of tobacco
abandoned in the room which leads
them to believe it was not a boy but
an older person on the job. The
tobacco may probably be the only
clue the police have in solving who
the intruder was.
