DEFEATS
WATROUS IN
THRILLER
By Universal Service.

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Chicago, Sept.
23.-Walter Hagen, king of the links,
and Al Watrous, a young pro from
Grand Rapids. fought to the thirty
ninth green today before the king was
sure of retaining his jeweled headgear
for another day.
Watrous, who during the last two
years has had a couple of whacks az
the Goliath of the links, says he will
try again. 1t was one of the hardest
fought battles in the history Of the
tournaments of the Professional Golf
ers Association. The present one is
being played at Olympia Fields.
WATROUS UNLUCKY.
Here was the climax:
Both sliced their tee shots at the
thirty-ninth tee. which in reality was
the third hole of No. 4 course. Hagen's
ball came to rest on the velvety sur
face of the Big Bent Nursery, while
Watrous' lay few away in an ex'
ceptional path of rough. 1t was ar
gued that the king could not shoot
from a green, but the bent patch is
not a regular green, so Hagen hat
the better lie. He had to shoot ovel
some trees to carry the green, but III
did it and the little pill stopped deat
about fifteen feet from the flag. Wa
trous, out of the rough. pulled his sec
ond back of a clump Of trees and into
the weeds at the left of the green or
the hill. The Wolverine sharpshooteI
chopped out of the difficulty but had
too much steam on his axe and went
way over the other side of the green
After rolling ten feet beyond the flag
on his fourth try, Watrous conceded
the hole and the match.
TEXAN BEATS SARAZEN.
Watrous was low scorer in the elimi
nation round Monday
One of the greatest surprises Of to-
days play was the defeat of Gene
Sarazen, twice national champion, by
Jack Burke of Houston, Tex; in fact
Sarazen was not only defeated, but he
was humiliated. The final count
against him was s to Z, probably the
worst defeat of his career.
In the other first rounds of mattel
play Bill Mehlhorn of Westmorelant
defeated the veteran, Emmett trencl
of Youngstown. Ohio. ; and 4, and A
Espinosa. of the Illinois club, tool
George Howard of Canton, Ohio, int

JACK
AMONG THOSE
PRESENT
Appears in Perfect Trim
for His Exhibition
Thursday Night.

The first heavyweight champion of
the world to visit San Antonio since
1896, Jack Dempsey, acclaimed the
greatest in history, is resting today
at the Gunter hotel in preparation for
his four-round exhibition at Bear
Field Thursday night against "Tex
Mceks and Ray Neuman.
The champion Of them all, accom-
panied by Gus Wilson, the sparring
partner who accompanied him on his
recent European tour, stepped from
the train which brought him from Los
Angeles early Wednesday morning.

His pretty wife, Estclle Taylor, mo-
vic actress, was not able to accom-.

to many Of Jacks male admirers.
Dempsey has been in hard train

and is now down to 100 pounds, hiS

Due to his perfect condition and
the strength of the opposition stacked
up for him, Jack may be expected

that earned him his title when bS
steps into the ring Thursday night
Both Neuman and Wilson, his spar
ring partners, have assured the world
that Dempsey believes in putting out
everything he has on every occasion.
II he docs that some $1,000 San Ar
tonic fight fans will go home happ-
about midnight Thursday.
BUSINESS MAN.
Dempsey impressed all those who
saw him Wednesday as every inch the
prosperous business man. He is nat
thy dressed, and might well be takep
for a prominent banker or merchant
Jack appears amused at the reports
Fitting about that he intends to re-
tire from the ring. He declares him
self in readiness TO meet Wills or any
other logical contender, and promiscs
a championship fight as soon as a pro
meter offers n suitable purse. H.
will leave here early Friday morning
for Chicago, where he hopes to sign
up with Floyd Fitzsimmons, Michigaa
City promoter, for a Wills fight.
Jack is decidedly pleasant, and made
immediate friends of everyone who met
him Wednesday. In the words Of
Promoter Jack Shelton, who brought
him here, Hes Just good old boy
He seems entirely unaffected by the
fame and riches which have come hM
way.
Promoter Shelton has completed al
his arrangements for the exhibition
Thursday night. He has signed w
five six-round preliminaries, and il
now busy taking in the "dinero."

COOLIDGE CALLS
BORAH TO PARLEY
Foreign Situation Discussed
as President Prepares
His Message.

Before preparing that section of his
annual message to Congress which
will deal with International subjects
President Coolidge will consider the
views Of Senator William T.. Borah OF
Idaho, chairman of the foreign rela
tionS committee Of the Senate. Al
though this is made known at the
White House, 1t is not taken by those
close to the President that this means
the latter intends to incorporate rec
concentrations the Senator might
make in the final draft Of his mes
sage.
President Coolidge and Senator Bo
rah, while personally very friendly
belong to an entirely different school
of thought, especially politically. and
their theories of government, for the
most part, are vastly different. How
ever, the President likes Senator Bo
rah, and ever since he has been PreSi
dent he has appreciated his views and
opinions.
BOrah Real Power.
The President is known to look upon
Senator Borah as one of the real pow
ers in the Senate. Also ne admires
the latter'S sincerity of convictions and
his unquestioned courage.
There will be several importa nj
matters affecting our relations with
foreign nations which the President
will treat, probably at some length
In the message he is preparing
American adherence to the World
Court, the question of foreign debts
and another world disarmament con
ference will be included. Besides OBJ
tanning Senator Borahs personal
opinions regarding these, the Presi
dent appreciates the fact that the
&c III of a
full foreign relations committee, and
the fact that the President is asking
for his ideas is taken by some as
a practical step on his part to obtain
cooperation between the White
House and the foreign relations com
mittee when the time comes to con
slider administration Legislation re
garding foreign relations.
Senator Borah, it is understood
may present his views to the Presi
dent within q few days.
This was made known at the White
House following a long conference
between the President and the head
of the foreign relations committee late
yesterday afternoon.
Conferred for an Hour.
The President sent one of the
White House automobiles to the Sen
ator's office for him and conferred for
an hour. The Senator declined to
discuss his call with newspaper men,
explaining that il there was to be any
publicity should come from the Presi-
dent. hortly afterward the Presi-
dent made known the reason for this
conference and let it be known that
Senator Borah had agreed to consider
the Presidents request for his opinion
on foreign subjects, and that he would
them to the White House without de-
lay.
1t Is understood that the two dis
cussed briefly several subjects other
than those pertaining to foreign mat
ters.

after the test. for which a nominal
charge of rs cents is made.
Since the tests are made by deal
ers as a public service to motorists,
/ the charge was fixed to cover actual
cost. AS q matter Of fact. it is point
ed out. a test frequently costs a
dollar or more, because 1t requires
on an average Of a half-hour of the
time Of an expert mechanic. Pos
sibility of profit thereby has been
eliminated and the testing service
stands as the dealers contribution
to the movement for safe motoring
Conditions Improved.
According to leaders in the dealers
organization. driving conditions have
shown marked improvement since
emphasis has been laid on the need
of proper adjustment OF lighting
equipment in particular.
AS pointed out by a prominent
dealer today, the use of bright head
lights on poorly lighted streets has
improved driving conditions and elm
mated much of the danger to which
pedestrians and motorists alike have
been exposed. He FASTENED to add,
however. that the need for bright
3
for their proper adjustment, since
the danger they are designed to re-
move is only heightened If the lights
themselves are glaring.
Training Of sufficient policemen to
enforce, the headlight law was urged
by leaders in the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association, who. be-
lIeve that any regulation is only as
effective as the ability to enforce it.
Tests Must Be Frequent.
Headlight tests, according to those
who are making them, must be fire.
quent enough to insure proper adjust
ment of lamps at all times. Shortly
after lights are realigned the car may
be in collision, in which the lamps
might be seriously shifted from their
proper position. Even a slight col
iision, 1t is said may cause consid-
cradle displacement of the headlamp,
50 that it may become markedly
"cockeyed" and constitute violation
of the regulations, despite the fact
that the owner holds a card certify
ing his equipment.
Stress is laid on the fact that the
card issued after the test is made
does not make the holder immune
from blame should the headlight be
Jared from position later. 1t merely

certifies the equipment for the time
being and indicates that the car own
er has shown a willingness to COM
ply with the law.
The comparative ease with which
headlights may vary from correct
focus is illustrated In the action of
the filament in the lighting bulb. Fre-
quently 1t happens that the filament
will droop. 1t may be slightly dropped
at the time the test is made. When
a new bulb Is placed In the lamp
the focus is changed from what it was
when tested, and the driver may be
surprised IL he Is stopped by po-
liceman and told that his lights are
throwing a beam altogether too high.
Responsible motorists, however, agree
that 1t Is better to get a "call down"
by police officer than to go on
driving with lights that eventually
may result in serious injury to some
one.
Adjustment Varies.
The procedure followed by dealers
in making the tests is to submit the
light beams thrown by the headlamps
to careful measurement. The rays
are allowed to fall on an area 25 feet
distant on which transverse lines
have been drawn, according to the
height of the headlamp on various
makes of cars. Light beams are TO-
cused so that they fall below the hori-
zontal line and equally on either side
Of the perpendicular line. Adjust
ment varies in different types of au-
tomobile so as to bring all headlamps
within the regulation which prescribes
that the major portion Of the light
beams shall not rise higher than AZ
inches at q point rs feet ahead Of the
car, and shall be capable of illuminat-
ing a substantial object. equal in size
to small child. at a distance of 200
feet.
Following the light test, brake test
Is given, and for this purpose many
dealers have equipped themselves
