1t was said, however, that salts
tory progress had been made with re-
spect to other sections of the pro-
posed regulations.
The treasury believes 1t will be
able to meet the requirements of for
eign law with respect to medicinal
. liquor, a spokesman mentioning that
where such liquor is required aboard
ships of foreign countries, their law
SO provide. Medicinal liquor is men
toned as such in the British admir-
atty law, it was said. and in the laws
of several other nations. With these
it will be easy to deal, according to
the view held at the treasury where
1t was pointed out that the American
prohibition law permits such store to
be carried.
1t was evident that those who are
drafting the regulation entertain
fears that strong protests will come
from foreign powers whose domestic
laws compel the carrying of crew
rations of liquor.

SUCCESS IS FORECAST
FOR MEXICAN FARLEY
Impression Upon Latin People
UpOn Latin People

MEXICO CITY, May 16.-Labor is
knocking at the door Of the Mexican
American conference which is try
ing to pave the way for recognition
of the regime of President Obregon
by the United states government.
James Lord. representative of the
Pan-American federation of labor,
announced Wednesday that he would
petition Charles b. Warren and John
B. Payne, American delegates TO tho
parley, for permission to attend the
sessions together with Louis Nor
ones, head of the Mexican federation
of labor.
Labor, according to Lord, who has
been active in the organized labor
movement in the United States for
years, is vitality interested in the is
sues involved. The interests of capt.
tai, he believes, should not be the
only ones discussed at the conference.
Although it is difficult to forecast
the decision of the American dele
gates, is is generally believed that
the labor representatives will be bar
red from the sessions.
Warran and Payne and the Mexi-
can delegation had holiday We'd
nesday, calling off deliberations to
visit the pyramids and other points
of interest in the environs of the
Mexican capital.
Thursday. the sections of the Mexican
constitution and laws, which hinder
operations of American capitalists
in Mexico are to be discussed.
1t is believed that the parley will
end within a few weeks and that the
delegates at the end of that time will
be able to recommend their respec-
tive governments a basis of United
States recognition OF Mexico. THE
Americaif' Representatives have made
a favorable opinion on Mexican Of
ficials who admire the frankness of
their statements.
Tom Campbell, former governor Of
Arizona, who has been a personal
friend of President Oregon for many
years, arrived here Wednesday, but
denied his visit had anything to do
with American recognition of Mexico.

Tee, Fairway
and Green
BY CHICK EVANS
FRREAK SHOTS

Golf is game of surprise and 1t
has long history of freak shots
showing many peculiar performances
of the little white ball. Somehow
or other golfer usually remembers
his freak shots best and easily sin
giles then from all the thousands that
he plays. He takes the steady, ma
chine-like shots, as matter of
course, but brilliance and unusual
ness make the freak shots impress
sive. Since we are all interested in
these shots. 1 wish to tell a story
heard the other day about one of the
freakiest of freak shots.
Not long ago a four-ball match
was played and for some time there
had been keen rivalry between these
golfers. The match began at the
tenth IN account of the big crowd at
the first tee and by this arrangement
thu ninth became th1 eighteenth
hole. The PLAYERS reached the ninth
tee all square, and, of course, there
was but one to go. Three of them
got beautiful drives, right up to the
edge of a pond. but one player
smothered his into the long grass in
front of the tee. 1t is a full 225 yards
over the water to the green and a
slightly raised bank bord ors the
pond. Just as his second shot went
prettily on its way head appeared
above the bank. There was a sick
ening noise and the sight Of white
ball caroning onto the green near
the hole. The head had disappeared.
A Banks Shot.
When the players arrived at the
pond they helped caddy boy out
of the water. into which he had
dripped when the ball hit him. He
was looking for balls in the pond
the boy wa sail right and the player
holed out in two puts for his four
and won the match for his side.
H. l.. Willoughby, Jr, of PJhila-
delphia had peculiar experience
some years ago with a hooked tee
shot at Palm Beach. A greenhouse
with a Slated roof instead of a
glass one stood at the left of the
new seventeenth and old fifteenth
hole, and it was CIT OF bounds. Mr..
Willoughby's ball from the tee land
ed on the near edge Of the structure,
bounced five times from Stat to Stat
and wound up 500 yards distant after
a favorable kick had turned 1t to-
ward the course. An examination of
the ball after the hole was played out
where the ball had hit the stats. The
most remarkable thing about the oc-
currence is that there was quite as
much room between the Stats as on
one. The roof was al least forty feet
out Of bounds and about 100 feet long
yet the ball hoped the entire dis
lance and then bounded back onto the
middle of the fairway.
