CHICAGO, May 27.-fBy the Asso-

ed today at the Oak Park Country club
In the first Is holes Of the elimination
round Of western aspirants for the ma
tioral open golf championship, and 1t
fell to Macdonald Smith, San Francis
co, TO lead the field Of 146, who fin
ished with score Of 88-34-72, which
10 par for the 6,464-yard course.
Harry Hampton, Canton, Ohio, play
ing with Smith, was second in the list
with a 35-3S-73. Third place was
shared BY Richard Linares, Long
Beach, Cal, who had 3S-36-74, and
Dewey Weber, Chicago, who had pair

Slips On Second Day
Emmett French of Youngstown, who
scored 70eyesterday in'practice, could
do no better than 76 today, halving
that honor with Eddie Williams, Pc
oria5 Alex Cunningham, Toledo; George
Keffigal, Los Angeles; Otto Hack
barth, Cincinnati; Laurie Ayton, Chi
cago +; Abe Espinosa, San Francisco,
and Dave Truffelli, wichita.
In all there were 35 scores Of 7S or
better and is scores of 70. An even
dozen. took so strokes ana II took 81.
As the experts have figured that 1853
would be the maximum score to admit
player to the final rounds for the IT,
OF these who scored in the eighties to-
day would have more than a slight
chance to survive the second elinina-
ton round tomorrow.
Fine weather greeted the golfers to-
day, although stiff breeze bothered
some sof the late finishers. The tees
were moved back as far as. possible
and the cups were planted at the treach-
erous far. edge Of the greens, making
scoring difficult. Although the course
is flat, dozens of terrific traps, numer-
Gus crossings Of a creek and at spots,
including woods, punished every shot
that was not carefully placed. These
conoitions accounted TOT mucn Varl-
anee ~ scores.
Dnflng the afternoon large gallery
followed Hutchinson and saw some re.
rnarkable long shots and approaches
but the former British open champion
did not perform brilliantly on the green,
In the afternoon, this gallery followed

light heavyweight boxed eight rounds
today, but got a real workout in only
two eof them against lilly Kid Her
mann. Gibbons continually tried to
shoulder close to Herman, soaking him
to the body with the lefts and connect
ing with right uppercuts. He boxed
three other opponents two rounds
apiece, but took things easy.

I He insisted that he must have a person
of the very highest intelligence to
serve as his caddy, and finally employed
a college dean to work in that capacity.
All his golf balls had to be carefully
tested as to weight, size ant balance,
the tests being made with the most
delicate instruments obtainable. His
locker at the club. modelled after
bank vault, was closed with a time
lock. His golfing tools and regalia were
insured for an unbelievable sum.
Oh--you want to know what sort of
game he played?
Are you expecting us to say that
his game was rotten?
Well, you win. 1t was
And now we come to johnson. John
son cared not the smallest fraction of

clubs he played with, whether his ball
had cover on it, or who his caddy
was. He played at times in overals%.

but more often in the ragged wreck of
what had once been tweed knickers.
His golf sweater was a faded, dirty af-
fair made for a man twice his size.
1t fit him like the bedroom paper on
the bathroom wall. He wore this swea-
ter at all seasons of the year for the
good and sufficient reason that his
one golf shirt had no back in it.
His clubs looked like poorly pre-
served relics from some old Scotch
museum. The shafts were warped and
split. Most of the clubheads were rusty,
worn and loose on their shafts
Can you guess what sort of game
johnson, played?
Huh?
No, that's wrong.
Johnson's game was rotten-un-
speakably rotten! Even worse than
Judson's.

To Be PR0BED
Investigation Decided Upon at
Meeting of House Commit
tee at Stormy Session

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30:-Just as
the House naval committee was
taking first step toward a naval
investigation today, the White House
revealed tha. President Coolidge still
is hopeful OF another international
arms conference within q year.
Mr.. Coolidge is not entirely con-
vinced that such venture will be
possible, but he still is4on the, look
out for a favorable opportunity to
call such a conference to DISCUSS
naval armaments. His general atti-
tude remains the same as that stated
IN his message to congress, when he
called attention to the steps for a
conference taken by the League of
Nations and declared the outcome of
that proposal must be awaited be-
fore there could be a definite deci-
sion.
A motion was adopted to call :
retary Wilbur before the commh.
January s, to make such recommen-
dations as he might deem expedient.
Chairman Butler announced that
durin the discussion he had been in
formed unofficially President Coo
lidge expected a conference to be
held within year looking to fur
ther naval disarmament.
The appearance of Secretary
| Wilbur before the committee is ex-
pected to open up wide field of in
quiry as to the administrations atti-
tude toward naval strength in gen.
eral and toward further attempts at
armament limitation.
In discussing with his colleagues
the feasibility of questioning the
secretary on broader phases of the
naval question Chairman Butler, of
the House committee, said he want
ed the committee to do nothing that
might incite any other nation, and
did not care at this time to take up
an examination of the "war condi-
ton" of other countries.
I'VE are in a feverish condition" )"
the chairman added.
representative Britten of Illinois,
the ranking Republican on the COM
mittee. declared there seemed to be
a definite and avowed purpose" by
some members to keep the secretary
from appearing. Possibly, he assert
ed, this was because the questions
might go too Deep
If we are afraid to have the Sec
retary come before u.s. he added
let us go on record to that effect"
Representative Vinson of Georgia,
the ranking Democrat, favored con-
sideration of a pending bill to
smooth out certain Irregularities in
the service, and several Republican
members supported his view. Asked
by Mr.. Britten If he opposed calling
the secretary, Mr.. Vinson replied he
would welcome a sweeping inquiry.
When he Democrats turned over
the government the nation had the
greatest fleet on EARTH. he said
'and would like to know what has
become of it,"
Among the Democrats supporting
the move to call Mr.. Wilbur. was
Representative McClintic. of Okla
homa. He opposed taking up the
equalization bin and favored finding
out what recommendations the Sec
retary might make.

feated for mayor when he was a
candidate for this Office on the DEM
