South Championship Against
Miss Marion HoIIins.

Playing her wonderful drives and

full advantage of her opponents
many troubles and difficulties, Miss
Glenna ColIett, the National East.

successfully defended THE latter title
against Miss Marion Hollins, the
1921 national title holder, at Pine
hurst and won the eighteen-hole
final by the surprisingly wide
margin Of 5 up and to play.
Miss Collett was strong favorite,
but eveA her most enthusiastic
supporters had failed to prophesy a
victory by so wide a margin. 1t
was Miss Hollins' utter failure to
control her direction from the tees,
her continual slicing into traps
and rough, coupled with the mag
nificent long game played by her
opponent which determined the out
come of the match.
1t was only on two or three of
the fourteen holes of the contest
that Miss Hollins succeeded in
reaching the green's without get
ting into trouble on the way
through. Miss Collett, on the
other hand, landed in traps or in
the rough on only a few occasions
in the course Of the round, and
while her short game was not as
good as 1t might have been, her
weakness in that department was
more than offset by her superior
facility for getting within easy
reach of the green.

America hasn't triumphed in the
Olympic distance events since the
exploits of Peerless Mel Sheppard
back in the London Olynapiad of
1908. The longest distance run In
those games, exclusive of the five
miles and the marathon, was the
1,5O0 meters. Sheppard won that
event. We haven't won another of
the kind since.
Voight, Britisher, captured the
five-mile that year, while Hannes
Kolehmainen won the 5000 and
10000 meters in a romp at Stock

Even to speak OF hope in doubtful
terms is something, considering the

The Washington times., 1923-03-29


With Gibbons, however, it would
be case of speed matched against
speed, and in view of the cham
pion's prolonged idleness, it is be-
lieved that Tom might very readily
outstep him for twelve or even
fifteen rounds. In support ~ this
contention, 1t is pointed out that
inactivity is Dempsey's most danger
Gus opponent at present. It has
downed many champions in the
past, and although Dempsey is
notorious for the caret he. takes
of himself, his lack of actual work
under fire is certain to take Its
toll.
Benny Leonard is another
champion who watches his con-
ditiOn with q careful eye. Being
4, Iightweight. he can regain his
speed more quickly than Dempsey
can ever hope to do, yet Benny
needs as many as four or i've
fights to reach top form after a
period Of prolonged inactivity.
He has never been idle for as
long as two years, however, and
judging by the form he has dis
played after lay off, this may
have been all for the best. But II
lack of competition has embarrassed
Benny, the lightweight, what then
of Jack, the heavyweight?
The chances are that Dempsey
will be something of disappoint-
ment when he steps into the ring
for his first comeback.

Public Meeting, by Close Vote, OPP
poses Wards and FavOrs New Election
Sentiment was about evenly divided
at public meeting held at Milford
last week relative to the chief fea-
lures of bill pending in the Legis-
lature affecting the town government
of Milford. The meeting, which was
attended by about so persons, was
presided over by former State Senator
|. D. Short The first matter taken
up was that of dividing the town into
SIX wards, member of City Council
to be elected from each ward, instead
of electing the Council at large, as at
present. This was defeated by a vote
of % in favor and "a against the pro
position. BY a vote of "a to 10 the
meeting indOrsed the proposition to
provide for single ballot at muni-
cipal elections. An election is held
on the first Monday in each January,
at which COuncilmen and other town
officers are chosen. Under the pres
ent plan a public meeting is held on
the Friday night before the election,
at which nominations are made.
Where there are rival candidates for
the same Office their names appear on
separate tickets, which are printed the
following day, Saturday. These are
the tickets that are voted at the cleo
tiOn on the following Monday. The
proposed change, as provided for in
the pending bill, and which the meet
ing indOrsed, requires a public meet
ing to be held not later than Decem-
ber Is, at which nominations are to
be made for the ensuing election. All
nominees are requested to be certified
to the clerk of Council who is in turn
required to have all nominees for all
offices placed on one ballot.

The owners of three pieces of land
situated along the north side of the

lative to the execution of DEGREES in
the attachment of stock for debt. This
bill provides for the attachment, not
only of stock or any right or inter
est the person against whom the
judgement is entered may have in
shares of stock. The Senate also
passed Senator SimOnton's bill giving
the courts power to relieve those who
go on the bond of prisoners who for
any reason do not appear in court at
the time set for trial. This act pro-
vides that if the prisoner, who has
been released on bail bond, voluntarily
returns to the jurisdiction of the court
or is caught and returned, the court
can relieve the surety from the for
feiture of the bond. By unanimous
vote Senator Viven's bill providing for

ton of fruit on the request of the

low: Senator Belts bill requiring the

TRUCKS LIMITED TO IL TONS
Senate Passes Bill to Protect Cement
Roads in Delaware

Roads in Delaware
After its passage had been advo-
Gated by c. Douglas Buck, chief engi-
neer for the State Highway Depart
ment, the Senate, Thursday morning,
passed unanimously Senator Murphy's
bill reducing from 13 to II tons the
gross load weight of automobile
trucks that may be used on the State
highways. Mr.. Buck considered this
bill the most important one in the
Legislature in which the State High
way Department is especially inter
ested. He said: at is my prediction
that our concrete roads will fall pre-
maturely unless these loads are re-
stricted. This is based on engineer
ing formulas and can easily be deter
mined" He then explained, in a tech
nical way, how he arrived at that
conclusion. Mr.. Buck told of tests
that have been carried on in Illinois,
which prove without doubt the con-
crete roads will fall under loads of 13
tons and more. He said at IL tons
and below the Highway Department
can we'll take care of the roals it now
has. Senator Murphy said the truck
operators have had a hearing on the
bill and do not object to it. 1t is not
thought that this bill will in any way
interfere with the business of truck
owners in this State, but might stop
trucks from other States passing
through with enormous loads that do
much damage to the roads.
