 The course is in excellent condition except for the heavy fairways and greens and players are expected to be- come accustomed to them.
 Twenty-Five golfers from Birming- ham are in attendance upon the tourna- ment. A team representing the Roe buck club and another from the Bir- minghsm Country club were entered in the team trophy play. Charles Locke lead both Magic City teams with 76. He played for the Country club and with him were Jenks Gillem 7S, Frank Nelson, S6 and R. l.. Gregory, S3.
 Roebuck was represented by R. l.. Brooke, SO; 1. J. Osbun, S1; l.. J. Brownlee, 77; H. G. Seibels, S3.
 The team play resolved itself into a match between Jack Crenshaw of Mont gomery, and Seibels when the aggregate scores of the three players finishing first resulted in a tie.
 Crenshaw played remarkable golf on the outward Journey but blew up com ing in on the first four holes taking 5, 5, 5, 6. Seibels had played stead fly until the turn when he also found trouble and was unable to return to form.

HUNGER THREATENS
 M CUBAN INTERIOR
Appeals Made To President To
 End Railroad Strike

HAVANA, June 5.-Shortage of food is being felt in many interior towns as a result of the general railroad strike, it was learned today at the palace, and numbers of petitions have been sent to President Zayas, asking him to end the strike. Several towns also were said to be without electric light and power because of inability to get oil for their plants. The first ef- feet felt here was an increase today of ten cents pound in the price of meat. President Zayas, it was stated, is studying the situation with view to finding a solution.
 The wrecking train sent out by the United Railways to the aid of the Pine apple train derailed yesterday, also was derailed, it was learned today.

 Jones chipped from the edge of the green into the cup for birdie four on the twelfth hole and he shot a par three on the seventeenth after putt had kissed the edge of the cup and robbed him of a two. On his twnty- seventh, the young champion sent thirty-foot putt twirling around the rim of the hole and needed to adminis- ter slight nudge to put it down.
 Bobby was the only amateur to play well forward. The other threes Chick Evans, Jess Guilford and Art Sweet scored 154, 15S and 169, respectively.
 Mike Brady had a squawk to make about the seventeenth green. It seems that it was the fault of. the green not Brady. that he took five swats to pass each time he played the seventeenth. The second time he had a chanc for a two with a ten-foot putt. Mir. Brady was annoyed and thought the members of the club ought to be ashamed. -s

 Jones, on the other hand, was al- ways followed and preceded and some. times was surrounded by a gallery and on the tenth he lost his temper and a couple of strokes.
 Crowd Worries Jones
 ''Oh, well. I'm going to drive any way" Bobby decided when the crowd refused to be driven back off the fairway,s and he slammed the ball into the rough with the hopeful comment that that ought. to nail one. of them" He hooked short out of the brambles and was short on his pitch to the green, eventually needing six to finish four shot hole.

 Wills, if he wins, probably will be assured of fights with Luis Firpo and Ermino Spalla, and perhaps Dempsey, Madden has just received an offer of field, in England, presumably condi- lively time probably will be enjoyed by all.
 Madden is training at Pompton Lakes, N. J., and said to be in fine shape, as is Wills, who is doing just enough work in Billy Grupp's Harlem gymnasium to keep him that way.

SOUTHERN BELL
 IS RISING FAST
AcipcO Faces Tough Co., ing Against Telephone
 Team

Acipco and Southern Bell hook up Saturday in what promises to be one of the most hectic encounters of the City league season. The game will be staged at Smith field, with Dunbar and Davis in all likelihood being the oppos- ing fingers. There is a good chance of Manager James Harvey Big Boy" Ardis opening for Acipco.
 Following their triumph of last week over the Yellow Cab squad, the Tele- phoners are being highly touted to fur nish real competition for the top. With a fine tosser in Dunbar, three corking agardeners in West, Shaw and Richard son, and a good infield built around A. c. Young and Neil DePiano, South ern Bell ought certainly to stick close to the highest rung. Acipco, on the other hand, has played great ball all season. Their great comeback in Sat urday's combat with East Lake is typi- cal of the spirit they have shown all year.
 Both the other games in the central division are rich norsels for the con temptation of fans. Sayreton and East Lake are two of the evenest matched organizations in the wheel. There are no odds on this game, though East Lakes great play last week and the fact that they are at home might give them a slight margin. Alabama Power, while doped to check Yellow Cabs, will have no cinch in the game.
 Sloss and Ayondale Park clash in the eastern division feature. Each of these contenders is well up, the former being unbeaten; and the Parkers rest ing in third place. Doster-N r-Northington and East Birmingham, too, will fur nish very close game, according to the forecasts.
 Boys club will endeavor to halt the flying Fairfield squad, which as yet is unbeaten. The Clubbers are tied for third in the western division, but they own a fighting ball team and might up- set the dope pot at any time.

Speaking at the annual Flag Day exercises of New Britain lodge, No. a57. B r. 0. F., last night at the Elks home, John A. Gleason, a for mer New Britain resident and now city clerk of Hartford, came ont for military preparedness, declaring: No sane person would desire that our country should again be involved in a war yet only one whose optimism is so abnormally developed as to out weigh reason and good sense would say that such shall not again be our fate. f,pen now we hear rumblings from over the broad Pacific which may well bid us pause and urge us to examine our national conscience and ascertain whether we arc conducting ourselves properly in our relations with other nations and other peoples or the earth"

Inquiry Opens New Nerve Field
This new line of research, involving
a new inquiry into the way of nerves,
their Influence and control, may ex-
plain q good many things.
However, the hands of the clock
can not be set back: way must be
provided for the rebuilding of mis-.
shaped bones, joints and muscles de-
formed by chronic muscle diseases.
Whatever the ultimate result or
the operations now being tested in
thorough and effective manner, the
discovery is considered a great con-
tribution to physiological knowledge.
While it may not. and probably
will not, do all that is hoped for by
those suffering from muscle diseases,
it is probable that much may be done
to relieve these unfortunate persons
in the future through the work OF
these investigators.
