Quimet lost no time in winning
the first hole, reaching the green
with his second while Tolley was
still in the immediate distance. The
Briton, however. proceeded to lay
Francis a stynie on the second
green and won the hole in conse-
quence but the invader came right
back with a half on the third and
won the fourth with a ten-foot putt
and a birdie two, while the pro-
British gallery gaped in awe.
Fifth Also Is Halved.
The fifth also was halved, Tolley
brilliantly jumping a stymie to get
the necessary but the sixth went
to Ouimet, to 4, the latter pitch
ing to within four feet of the pin
and boiling out for another birdie.
The next two were halved, but Toll
ley won the ninth. Ouimet playing
wretchedly for the first and only
time during that round. This left
the American up.
He proceeded to run this narrow
lead into comfortable proportions
by winning the tenth and eleventh
with perfect tours. The Boston ace
was right back in stride after his
temporary lapse and the golf he I'M
covered .henceforth was beautiful
to behold.
At the tenth he placed his second
within ten feet of the pin4 while
Tolley, hooking his tee shot, was
far, far away. The eleventh saw
Ouimet drop twenty-foot putt for
a winning 4, and, while the twelfth
was halved, the following hole was
the scene of another miraculous ap-
proach by the American. who won
was then 3 up. The next two
were halved in par.
A huge gallery followed the play
ers and after the match freely ad.
mitted that Ouimet had given a
wonderful exhibition.

with the report a suit would be IN

the International Harvester Com
pany as combination in restraint

1t was reported the United States
plans to proceed in the district court
of st. Paul to hare enforced the con-

Modified in 1920, this decree gave

The company has not disposed as

scented with some vigor to the
Picking government Oddly enough,
it is America, 1.-The great good
friend of China" that has suffered
most in both instances.
China's two plain violations of
her treaty agreements, according to
officials here, are:
~ Failure to protect the persons
and properties Of foreign residents,
as shown by the Shantung affair,
and,
(2) Failure to maintain the "open
door, and equal economic oppor-
tunities for all nations" as exem-
plified in Peking's refusal thus
far to go through with the Federal
Telegraph Company's contract for
the erection of five wireless sta
tions.
OF the two, the American Govern
ment considers the second violation
the most serious, and it is upon
this that Washington is preparing
for a showdown.
Crucial Test of Open Door.
Minister Schurman has informed
the Pekin Government that the
United States considers execution
of the Federal wireless contract,
held by an American concern. to
be the crucial test of the open
door policy.
The wireless contract was made
With the Chinese Government in
good faith. Japan Immediately in
sisted that this contract violated a
prior agreement which Japanese in
terests had with China for exclu-
sive wireless construction over a
period of thirty years.
So great has been the japanese
pressure upon China that those in
authority at Pekin have thus far
failed to 20 through with the Amer
lean contract.
The United States takes the posi-
ton that under the open door"
commitments at the Washington
conference, no nation can legally
possess monopolistic or priority
privileges in China, either for wire
less concessions or any other bust
ness. That is the crux of the
American attitude.
Controversy is Acute.
'If the whole area Of China may
be barricaded against all overseas
radio development for thirty years
for the benefit of one nation, equal
opportunity cannot be said to

Ouimet's Game Willis.
1t was at this point that Ouimet
began to wilt, the elements seem
ingly having a greater effect on his
game than that of his rival. The
latter was 2 up at the turn and
added more at the twelfth and
thirteenth. Here Wethered rose to
superior heights with a pair of re-
markable tours, Ouimet's best was
six and a five.
Facing almost inevitable defeat,
all the remarkable nerve and game
ness that is Ouimets heritage from
French and American ancestry
came to the surface magnificently
at this point.
He was four down with only five
to go as they approached the
fourteenth tee and he replied with
a sensational three to win the hole.
At the fifteenth he had a four to
Wethered's five and the latter's
lead was cut to two holes.
This flash of ability, long over
.1ue, came too late. however. With
the whole world before him,
Wethered played very carefully on
the next two holes and was re-
warded with half on each, ending
the match.
The cards follow:
Wethered. OUT. 354435-37
Ouimet, out. ..... 4 5 4 6-39
Wethered, in...... 4 444554

The defeat of Tol1ey was a
distinct shock to the British. They
have another hurdle however,
blocking Ouimet's path to the title
in Roger Wethered, who tied Jock
Hutchinson for the British open
championship of 1921. Ouimet and
Wethered will clash in the semi
final round this afternoon, the lat

MOVIE WAR ON PACIFIC ISLE

PAPEETE, TAHITI, June 12- Papeete is now in the throes of a moving picture war, due to the ef- forts of an ambitious local merchant to establish a monopoly of the exhi- bition end of the industry.
 The merchant got control of three moving picture houses after building new one of his own. He then proceeded to cut down expens- es and among one of his first acts was to dismiss the Casino band. The Casinos, composed mainly of member of one family forming a large clan on Tahiti, considered this an affront to their art and their family honor, and built a theater large enough to house the entire movie population of Papeete.
 Today, Papeete is divided into two camps, and the war is on, with no quarter to be given by either side. The fight between the two factions has brought great joy to the thrifty inasmuch as it has cut down the cost of the admission price from about eighteen to six cents.
 Most of the thickly populated outer islands are provided with moving picture theaters which are well partonized by the natives. The favorite pictures are cowboy stories with plenty of hard riding, and the yells of approval which emanate from these movie buildings when the william is hard pressed by the sheriff's posse would warm the heart of any cinema star could he but hear them.

BIG ORCHESTRA TO PLAY
 AT BALL DANCE SATURDAY

One of the greatest aggregations of musical talent ever heard in Ne mana will provide the music for the benefit dance which will be given at Union hall on Saturday night under the auspices of the Nenana Baseball club. The boys have se- sured the services of a nine-piece orchestra and poppy music will be the order of the evening.
 The dance will start at nine o. clock and will be preceded by a band concert in front of the Coli scum immediately after the picture show, which will start an hour earlier than usual so as not to in- terfere with the dance. The band will play in front of the theater and then march to the hall.
 The committee in charge of the dance announces that eight prizes will be awarded during the evening to the winners of the dancing hon. ors.
 The dance tickets, which are be- ing sold around town by a number of young ladies, are going fast and the indications are all of them will be disposed of before the night of the dance. The cause is a popular one and the public is responding literally. *

CUSTER MASSACRE SURVIVORS
 ARE REDUCED TO INDIANS

HELENA, Mont. June 12--With more courage than hope, the Mon- tana Historical library has under taken three difficult tasks: The first to disprove the general belief that territorial governor Sir Francis Mea- gher, exiled Irish patriot, was in- toxicated when he fell of a steam boat, and was drowned near Fort Benton: second, to cut down the number of sole white survivors of the Custer massacre to a reasonable number if not to the zero point; third, to disprove the charge that Major Marcus A. Reno was guilty of cowardice in the Battle of the Big Horn, June 25-26, 1876.
 in lieu of the first impression, the Montana library has statements from pioneers who were with the Irish-American statesman and war rior on the day when he met death to the effect that he was suffering somewhat from the effects of a long ride in the hot sun and had not been drinking on that day. In this respect, too, the state historians claim the body was never recovered instead of having been found var iously from points on the Missouri river in North Dakota to the mouth of the Mississippi at New Orleans.
 Against the second so-called fal- lacy the Montana historians say there are no "sole white survivors" living who were in or saw the Custer massacre and only a few Indians still alive.
 To supplant the third general be- lief that state historical socie-y has secured copy of the United States War department report of an in- quiry conducted March II, 1879, which is lengthy and involved but the substance of which sets forth that the man for whom Reno, New. was named obeyed all of his or ders on the day of the battle, and under General Sherman's signature, declares there was no evidence of cowardice.
