Small Town Builds
Its Golf Course
Minus Expense

The town of Duncan, Okla, has
solved the problem of the high
cost of golf. 1t is a town of 1000
inhabitants, and a few of the
residents decided to have a golf
course. They leased couple of
cow pastures, moved the grass,
planted some empty tomato cans
on the so-called greens and start
ed to play golf. An old barn was
transformed into a clubhouse.
The Boy Scouts helped to cut
the grass and take out the stones,
and the course was used two days
after the work started. There
are now eighty members in the
club, and the total cost Of the
course has not vet reached 81 900.

Joie Ray Is Proving
Theories Of
DR.. COue

The best example of DIR. Coue's
theories carried out to a practi-
cal conclusion may be found in
Joie Ray, the Chicago Splinter,
who probably has never read any
of the Frenchman's teachings.
The little runner tells himself
what to do and carries out the
idea perfectly.
Joie has more than the will to
win. He also has his wonderful
lungs and powerful legs.

The Missoula bowIers will shoot
on their alleys and the Washington
Primers on theirs.
1t will be the first telegraph ten
pin match ever participated in by
Washington bowlerS.
1t is probable a meeting of the
Washington City Duckpin Associa-
ton leaders will be called shortly
by George L. Isemann, their live
wire president. Many things must
be talked over with regards to this
years tournament, which promises
to be an exceptionally large one.
Never before have as many
bowlers been keenly interested in
all sorts of competition as this sea
son. There have been more and a
greater variety of matches. Com
petition in the leagues has been
more spirited. There are more un-
attached bowlers than at any other
time in the history of duckpins
here.
These conditions make for a large
tournament. The city association
tournaments Of the last two years
will be bettered in every respect in
the 1928 event, it is expected by
all in touch with the situation.
The women's championships this
year may rival the mems in the
way of total entries. The fair
bowlers have increased in great
numbers. At the Recreation the
other day it was noticed that only
one alley on one floor was occupied
by men. Women bowlers kept all
the others busy.
A closely contested race is on IN
the American Ice Company league,
with Station No. and Main office
as the principal figures. Station
No. 2 has a one-game lead with
80 games won and Is lost.
McAboy, of Station No. 2, is
out front in the battle for indi.
vidual hOnors with an average of
1887 for AZ games. His team
mate, Stone, is the only other
bowler in the league with q mark
of better than 100, Stone having
1913 for AZ strings.
n. Stafford, with a set Of SIS
for five games. was the leading
performer in the first round Of the
rOli-Off of the Kingpin i'm elimina-
ton tournament. Sixteen bOwIers
shot the first round and the eight
low men were eliminated.
The remaining eight will contest
the second round tonight, action
starting at 8 O'Clock. 1t is interest
ing to note that L. Comley, who
won the qualifying round, and V.
OFT, the runner-up, were among
those eliminated.
Here are the first round scores:

at night. Amy ties for first prize
will be rolled off at II p. m. The
big prize will be fifty berries.
The one-ball tournament will not
take the place of the annual Ma
sonic teams doubles and singles
tournament, which will be contested
this year on the King Pin alleys.
Bowling competition of all
forms is keeping the King Pin
alive. The other night the OFT
brothers defeated the Western
Union girls in an interesting
match. Tomorrow night a tede-
graph tenpin match will be rolled
with the Forest Service team Of

 Liquors
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The lem bassy" liquors which police declare have found their way into the bootleg trade here was declared by enforce ment officers to have been curtailed as a result of alleged disclosures by John J. Lynch, who was arrested in 3 recent raid on his. apartment when a quantity of liquors were said to have been seized.
 Lynch, in an affidavit, according to the police, named one legation as a source of his supplies and they added that they had been promised further information that would rock the city" and might result in some step to request the state and treasury departments to curtail the supplies of intoxicants received through diplomatic permits.
 Published reports, attributed to anonymous police sources, however, that some of the liquor seized in the recent raid had come from the Cuban legation resulted in a visit to the state department of the legation charge, Dr. Arturo Padro Almeida, and a public statement by him that he was in entire ignorance of any alleged selling of liquor" at the le- gation.
 Charges Not Made
 At the state department he is un- derstood to have inquired if there was any truth to the published stories that Lynch had named the Cuban legation in an affidavit as one source of his supplies as middleman be- tween diplomatic sources and boot leggers. He was said to have been told that no such information had

MOTOR STOCK IS. NOW OUTSTANDING. FEATURE ON CURB.
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-There were many wide fluctuations in the curb market today, but most interest was attached again to the dealings in the motor stocks. Hayes Wheel, which was one of the weak features yester- dag showed firmer tone.
 Standard Oil issues were compara- lively quiet, but changes were to low CT levels. Standard Oil of Indiana, the most active feature ?ranged from 62h to 61as. The new low par value stocks were practically unchanged. Gulf Oif was strong feature in the early trading, advancing nearly 2 points to SO, but lost most of this gain under profit-taking sales later. Nam moth Oil held strong, making a fur ther advance to 53as Penn Beaver was steady at h to IS.
 Goodyear Tire issues were governed wholly by the announcement made yesterday of the retirement of prior preference shares to the amount of $9,902,500. The preferred stock was the strong feature, moving up nearly 2 points to above 42 but lost most of its gain under profit-taking sales around midday. The prior preferred stock, after again selling at S6, also reacted.
