MICHIGAN ASPIRES
TO GOLFING CROWN
Grooming Wells to Win National
Amateur Links Championship
By HEA service

Ann Arbor. Mich, Aug. 16~-no
golfer from the state Of Michigan has
ever won the national amateur tito.
Or even come close to IT for that
matter.
But followers OF the royal and an
Gent pastime in the Wolverine com
monwealth believe they are begin
ming to see daylight ahead.
Fact Is, some are going 70 far as
to say that precedent may be upset
at the national amateur at Floss-
moor next month, meaning chap
from their native state may bring
home the bacon.
The player being banked upon chs
carry the Michigan coIors is Carlton
F. Wells Of the Barton Hills Country
Club here. He also is an instructor
in the University of Michigan.
In Wells, Wolverine folks see ons
of the future greats of the golt1ng
world. True, he is certain to 60 against
the cream Of the golfing fraternity
players who are far more experienced
than he.
But that matters not to Wells, for
though he has been playing tourna-
ment golf only three seasons, he has
shown some exceptional ability on
the links. So much SO, in fact, that
the wise ones say he's bound to
SHOW" sooner or later.
Be 1t known that Wells is the
present state amateur champion. He
won the title recently over the links
of the Kent Country Club, Grand
Rapids, after one of the most sensa-
tional comebacks ever staged on any
course.
Five down on the goth hole, and
still four behind on the 30th, Wells,
by taking the 31st, 33rd, 35th and
36th, and halving the 32d and 34th
squared the match. The next three
holes were divided but on the 10th,
Wells logged determination asserted
itself, and he was returned the win
ner.
Wells also copied the title in 1922,
winning at Flint in much the same
manner. He is one of the greatest
finishers ever seen in this section of
the country, putting up his best games
when the going is the toughest and
the outlook the gloomiest. Moreover,
he is as cool as they make EN-. Which
no doubt accounts for his sensation
work in the pinches. p, 81. a,- m So Il
Wells made his bow in the national
amateur last season, surviving the
qualifying round with card of 1872.
He was 1S strokes behind Guilford,
the low medalist. He went down in
the first round, however, losing to
William McPhail of Norfolk Boston,
who was eliminated in the round be-
fore the semi finals by Bobby" Jones.
This season Wells hopes to do bet
ter. That is, his friends expect him
to, for Wells is of the quiet, modest
type and seldom ever commits himself
one way or the other.
Carlton Wells may not set the
Floossmoor links ablaze next month,
but those who have seen him in ac-
ton predict big future for his as
a golfer. Maybe not this season, nor
the next, but some time.

New York, Aug. 16.-Weakness in
pitching department has been the
greatest handicap of the New York
Giants this season.
That alone has kept McGraw's
great club from being we'll out in

spots the pitching has been good but
it has lacked the consistency.

CLOE'S JITNEy BILL ADOPTED BY BOARD
 AF TER ARGUMENT
Cars Limited and Many Re- Strictions Made in Ordi- nance Presented Follow
 ing Long Delay

Enforcement of Commissioner w. B.. Cloe's jitney ordinance, adopted by unanimous vote of the commission Tuesday morning, will be begun inn mediately, according to A. c. Smith, jitney inspector, who declared that as soon as the measure is made le- gal by required publication it will be put into operation. The measure limits the number of cars on each line and regulates their operation providing for starter" at the ter minus of each route to supervise the cars. Commissioner Cloe has been working on the ordinance for several weeks. but it's introduction had been deferred for various reasons.
 The ordinance was adopted after
 considerable discussion, precipitated by Commissioner W. E. Dickson. who declared that it contained many pro visions that were impracticable and incapable of enforcement. w. 5. Hale, president of the jitney union, and operator of cars on the West End line, made suggestions which he urged would improve the bill. Pres ident W. E. McLendon said he fav- ored Hales suggestions and thought it advisable to hold up the ordinance until they could be incorporated in 1t.
 Commissioner Cloe and Inspector Smith objected to McLendon's sug- gestions, however, stating that they had waited as long as they felt that they could for the adoption of the meas sure. It was then decided that the ordinance would be voted on as presented by Cloe.
 Features of the ordinance are lim- itation on number of cars on each line; cars shall be numbered and run in regular order; jitneys cannot leave their routes; cars shall stop at only one place in one block, near the right hand curb, for receiving and dis charging passengers; cars shall not follow street car lines In the loop area" as at present; drivers shall not drive more than 12 hours in any one day; starter shall be provided on each line, who shall be paid 25 cents a day by each car on that line.

The Birmingham-S Southern college Dramatic club will present Booth Tarkingtons great comedy, "Clar- ence," at the Jefferson theatre We'd nesday night at o'clock. The dra- matic club, which presents its plays under the name of Paints and Patches club" Is the first that Bir- mingham- Southern has produced.
 Clarence" is one of Tarkington's greatest comedies and the screen play was great hit. The plot is built around Clarence, an ex- soldier who comes home from overseas to find his job gone. He takes po- sition as "flunky" in the house of Mir. Wheeler, financier who finds his home affairs harder to run than his business affairs. Clarence fixes things in the end, but many humor- ous situations take place before the climax is reached.
 The part of Clarence will be played by Vernon Kimbrough of ColGmbl- ana, Ala. Sketches from the play were presented for the student body in chapel last week and Kimbrough's portrayal of Clarence shows his eX- perience in expression.
 Miss Corinne Travis of Blrming- ham is cast in the role of Miss Penny, governess to the Wheeler family, with whom Clarence falls in love. Miss Travis has played this role gefore and can be depended upon for a good portrayal of the part.
 Miss Elizabeth Smith, who will play the role of Mrs. Wheeler, was a member of the Dramatic club of Central High school where she took part In several plays. Jack Benton of Ensley has the part of MT. Wheel CT. Benton is good platform speaker and his portrayal of the financier should be good.
 Miss Ethel Green has the role of Cora Wheeler, the lovesick daugh- ter, and she injects much comedy into the part. Miss Inez Patton plays the role of stenographer and Miss Marjorie Craig that of maid
 Others of the cast are Henry Rich ard, also a former member of Cen tral Highs Dramatic club, as Bobby Wheeler. Joe Whiteside as the but Ter and Ed Morris as MT. Stem rival of Clarence.
 The play is under the direction of Miss Anabel Smith, graduate of the Emerson School of Expression of Boston. Much time has been put in on the play in preparation for the presentation and the last few rehearsals have been practically per feet.
 The advance ticket sale has been large and indications are that the play will be a big success.
