Golf Tourney 4
at Brunswick
on Patriots Day

Brunswick. April Con account.oe
the fact that the Brunswick Golf
Club has only . 9-hole course. and
that great many golfers have signi-
fed their intention of entering the
April 10th tournament. we have
found 1t necessary to make q ruling
that all entries must be received by
the committee on April 18th or ear.
lier. We will then make drawings for
partners and assign playing timks.
II one hundred entries or more gro
received, it will be necessary to start
the tournament by ten A. M. The
committee will endeavor to arrange
playing times so that contestants
coming from a distance will be cais-
ed the least inconvenience possible.
All entries should be sent to John
L. Baxter, Box 230, Brunswick,
Maine, and should tell what contes-
tant's club handicap is and with
whom he would like to be paired. The
committee will try to arrange pair
ings as nearly as possible according
to these requests. Name and address
of entrants should be given SO that
the committee may acknowledge re-
ceipt and give assignment Of play
ing time direct.
The seventh annual meeting of the
Maine State Golf Association will be
held at the Brunswick Golf Club. on
Thursday, April 10th, 1929, at eleven
o'clock A. NJ, to receive and act uppn
the reports of officers for the past
year: to elect officers; to arrange for
amateur and open championships and
other events for the coming season;
and to transact any other business
that may properly come before sad
meeting. AS several matters of vital
importance to the Association are 10
come up for consideration, 1t is hoped
that you will send two representa-
tives to this meeting.

skin so that in the fall the work of the
coach will be made much easier and
there will be a group OF men who
have been thoroughly drilled to step
into the important positions. 1t is
very likely that Coach Hendricks will
take dozen or more Of his best men
into a, summer training camp to be
held on one of the nearby lakes just
previous to the opening Of school next
fall.
Yhe battery prospects of the locals
arc far. from promising at the present
time and unless some dark horses
spring into prominence in the next
couple of weeks the Purple is bound to
feel the effects. Lionel Soucicr is the
only veteran on the mound and it Jocks
as though a greater part of the 1url-
ing this year will be done by him.
Among some of the talked of posi-
hilities to relieve the veteran are Por-
ter and Trainor. but practice will soon
show just how the locals stand. on
the receiving end there is not a single
veteran left to call out. Among the
most promising lads for the backstop
position is Donovan. a freshman in the
school. 1t is claimed that he is a
Whirlwind behind the stick and ranks
with the best of them in the grammar
school teams. Armstrong is another
catcher who may be relied on before
thu eni of the season.

it may be resurrected in the Senate
this morning.
The House Friday evening instruct
ed its members OF the second con-
ference committee on the gasoline
tax bill to bear to the Senate con-
ferees message which was perhaps
best summarized in the terse state
ment Of Rep. Perkins Of Orono-
Tell them that we stand for one
cent straight, root hog or die"
This action was taken after long
debate, following the request Of Rep.
Sanders Of Portland. member of
the conference committee, that the
House make known its position. Rep
Sanders stated that unless the House
receded and accepted the Senate
| amendment providing for exemptions,
there was absolutely no hope Of
agreement and that the bill would
die between t two houses, as the
Senate conferees refused to yield.
He Furthermore said that inasmuch
as there was practically no hope that
the highway bond issue will be re-
vived, it seemed that If a gasoline
tax with exemptions were adopted,
some money would be provided for
! the maintenance Of the roads during
the next two years.
Rep. Rogers of Rockland thought
half a loaf was better than no bread,
| and he moved that the House re-
cede from its previous position and
concur with the Senate. but in the
| discussion that ensued vigorous OPP
| position to such a step was voiced,
and when the vote was taken the
proposition was overwhelmingly de-
feated. Among those opposing the
exemption provisions were Reps.
| Goldthwaite of Biddeford, VIM of
Lisbon. Saunders of Lubec and Reed
of Harmony. Reps. Rounds of Port
land. Baker of Steuben and Cherry
of PASSPORT urged that the House re-
cede.
| The blanket resolves for hospitals
and charitable institutions, and for
schools and academies became a law
lithout the signature of the governor.
| The first of the appropriation
bills, that Off 1923, and amounting in
round numbers to s9.122,OOO. was in
troduced under suspension of the
rules by Rep. Phillips of Orrington
and was passed to be engrossed.
Practically all that remains to
come before the Legislature at its
closing session today are the tax bill
and the appropriation bills.
Indications last night were that
the State tax rate will be seven and
a half mills for each of the next two

Members Of the presidential party
read with interest. but without COM
ment, the prediction made in WASH
ington today by Vice President Cool
idge that Mr.. Harding would be re-
nominated and reelected. Another
statement published locally that
aroused considerable interest among
members of the party was the asser-
ton by former Hitchcock of Nebras-
ga that the League of Nations would
never again be an issue in a presi-
dental campaign. but that the Uni
ted States would eventually become
affiliated with the League. This
utilization, Senator Hitchcock was
quoted as saying, will be in an easy
and natural manner and not as the
result of a bitter political fight.
Senator Hitchcock, who led the
fight in the Senate in behalf of the
Versailles treaty. said the United
States already had begun to drift
toward membership in the League
and in support of his statement. cited
the Presidents recent recommended
