GOLF MEET IN
SCOTLAND OPENS
Many Ex-ChampiOns And
Stars To Battle For
Amateur Crown

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 20.
(By Associated Press. ALL the best
amateur golfers in England and Scot
land have assembled at st. Andrews,
the cradle of the noble game, for the
start of the amateur championships
Monday morning. There is only one
visiting American among the 200 en-
trants, but inasmuch as he has been
beating par over both the old and new
course, the British look upon him as a
whole invasion by himself.
No fanfare of journalistic trumpets
hailed the coming of this American
Francis Brown of Honolulu-but as
soon as the crowds of golf-loving Scots
heard that there was Yankee" over
here who was out-driving the prodigious
Mister Tolley they have been following
his every step in droves.
The American rewarded them for
their trouble by breaking the record of
the new course with 81 and the rec
ord of the old course with 20. Brown,
who is small of stature and "a years
old. holds record low scores on four
California courses.
Grant Enters
There is one other American entrant,
Douglas Grant, champion of Surrey
who is resident of London. The
only other prominent foreigners in this
years championships are Aubrey Boomer
of France, and Angel De La Tore of
Spain.
Most of the ex-champions, running
as far back as H. II. Hilton, are en-
tered. among them e. L. E. Holder
ness, Cyril Tolley and Roger Wethered,
all three of whom have been playing
sterling golf in their practice rounds.
Wethered is generally favored to re-
peat last years victory, as he is al
most always at his best at St An
drews.
The English contingent includes G.
c. Aylmer, G. Bretherton and Michael
Scott; the Scotchmen have all their
best bets in the entry list, among them
John Wilson, the former Scottish anna
teur champion w. B. Terrence of
Edinburg, w. A. Murray, Robert Har-
ris and Robert Scott.

LAWLESS ERA LAID
TO TOO MANY LAWS
Kansas Pastor AbsOIves Youth
And Women For LaXity

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 25.-
America is the most lawless nation on
the face of the earth, because there are
so many laws to violate. the Rev. L.
n. Dirkhead. pastor of All Souls Uni
tartan church, declared in an address
before the Woman's Dining club here.
The trouble is not the women or
the YOUTH the minister said. Never
since the dawn of history have the
young people behaved so as to suit the
older people. 1t is just a plain case of
200 many laws.%

CEDAR RAPIDS, Mich, May %
Miss Cora Vandenhout still wants to
marry Nels Hanson, who forgot to APP
pear for his wedding Saturday, but she
will have plenty to say to him when
he finally arrives.
"Nels is sick, or something has hap
pcned to him." Miss Vandenhout de-
clared. But when he comes back, We
will get married first and then L will
tell him what 1 think about the way
he treated me-"
All was in readiness for an elaborate
wedding in the Vandenhout residence
and the guests had assembled. After
a long wait Miss Vandenhout announced
that Hanson had been unavoidably de-
tanned and that the wedding would be
postponed few days.

club can be built, but we notice that
the non-hook and non-slice club usual
ly turns out to be a nOn-anything club.
And when and if such club is per-
fected, the. powers that be will prompt
ly rule it out, so why all this useless
expenditure of mental energy?
Another dumb remark, overheard on
the cOurses "'If they can't find a heavy
weight that can whip Dempsey why
don't they match him against two light
weights? A threesome in the ring
would be something new in fights, and
it ought to make big hit"
If a man who holds the law in con-
tempt is a ''seofflaw," then he who
lacks a proper awe and reverence for
golf is, we suppose, a ''scoffgolf," and
should be prosecuted.
In an ancient dialect of Scotland
golf was formerly known as 'gouff."
