SETTLE GOLF TIE
 ON LINKS TODAY
Bobby Jones and MacFarlane to
 Battle for Championship

Worcester. Mass, 5. (AP)---Willis MacFarlane, 36 years old Scottish American professional, who makes his home In Tuckahoe, N, r., and the younger Bobby Jones. Georgia amateur, meet today on the links of the Worcester Country club to decide which will be open champion of the United States in the coming year, MacFarlane. a dark horse, and Jones, national amateur champion, distanoed their competitors to tie at the close of the scheduled 72 holes yesterday with score of lsl. The match today was to go IS holes Of medal play.
 M MaoFarlanes name were reg istercd. in the two days of competi- ton in which st players took part, the lowest outgoing and the lowest incoming nine hole scores, 3l and s3 on par 7l course, It was Bobby Jones who two days before the tour nament scored a 6s in practice, something never before achieved on the remadc club links.
 A year ago 1t was Cyril Walker, little Englewood, N. J., professional, upon whom the limelight fell, But Walker yesterday, handicapped by an injury to his hand, finished far in the ruck. Other notables who fn- ished close behind--but nevertheless out of the running were Johnny Farrell and Francis Ouimet with 292; Walter Hagen. with 293; Mike Brady with 29i and Leo Diegel with 2s8.
 Others who finished near the top were Laurie Ayton' and Al Espinosa, Chicago entrants; Joe Turnesa, Elmsford, N. r.. and Macdonald Smith, Great Neck, N. Y.
 For Bobby Jones this is the sec end open championship tie in which he has evidenced. Only two years ago at Inwood, N. r., the southern amateur finished the 72 holes dead locked with Bobby Cruickshank, of Westfield, N. J., at 2a6. In the IS hole play off Jones scored 7s and Cruickshank 7S.
 Leo Diegel, favored by many to win the tournament, and who seemed in fair way to make good his claim as the tournament ap- preached a close, broke 50 badly on the last nine holes that he was placed far outside the select list of top notchers. His score was 29s.
 Macdonald Smiths 1s2 in the first Ss holes placed him beyond hope of winning, events in the sec days play showed.
 The sweltering heat, which drove the mercury well above 90 degrees during the scheduled two days of play, and which played a part in the showing made, was expected to be less intense today, The weather bu- reau predicted fair weather and mot quite so warm."

SOVIET DEMANDS

Asks Dosser Be Freed

MOSCOW Russia, July 9.-Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin has addressed a
note to the Chinese ambassador sim

protest to the British envoy concern
ing the arrest China of a Russian
citizen, Dosser.
Referring to the new Russo-Chinese
treaty and the numerous Soviet dec
larations with regard to remuneration
Of Russia's right to exercise the extra
territorial privileges enjoyed in China
by the czarist governhent, the for
eign minister argues that handing
over Dosser for trial before a mixed
court is not only illegal in view of
the charges preferred against him,
but also a direct infringement of the
treaty.
He demands that China take imme
diate adequate measures to secure
Dossers release, placing on trial
those responsible for his arrest.

Boosters Launch
Los Angeles Boom
to Lure Bunkables

LOS ANGELES, July 9.-Business
has been slumping in Los Angeles.
Unemployment is spreading. Worry
has moved the leading boosters to
heroic action. After July 1, $1,000
900 will be expended to advertise the
city. Eastern capital is to be sought.
Labor should profit by early warn
ing that this capitalist stronghold is
overstocked with the exploited. I'm
employed crowd the workers quart
ers. They are literally down on their
knees pleading for work. Claims that
this is the cheapest labor market in
America are only too we'll borne out.
Advertising that might bring working
men here is criminal.
The same applies to business. In
May and June the exodus to the east
left trade fiat. Stores and tenements
became vacant. Landlords were ask
ed by the realty board to remove ITO
Let" and For Sale" signs as there
were so many of them that they add
ed to the business depression.
To advertise for industry is i'll
timed. Supply of water for factories
is limited and it will take many years
to tap the Colorado river
The boosters are advertising for
population and nothing else. They
want people to come here, spend their
money and go away as soon as they
are broke.
This million-dollar boost campaign
will draw many strangers of moderate
means to California. These will add
to the army of wage slaves. That will
suit the task masters.
So, if tourists only bite at the adj
vertising bait, small harm will be
done; but, if workingmen or trades
men do so. restitution must result.
Claims made in the advertisements
should be subject to heavy discounts.
