Equals Best Mark.

Equals Best Mark.
The winning of the British open by
Jones with a score of 291, equaling the
best mark ever recorded in the historic
event, tops off five years of remark
able golf by the Atlanta star
Back in 1922 he finished in tie for
second in the u. S. open at Skokie'
The following year he tied with Bobby
Cruickshank for the title at InWood
and won the playoff. In 1924, he was
runner-up to Cyril Walker at Oakland
Hills. At worcester last year he tied
with Willie MacFarlane only to be
beaten in the playoff.
In addition to creating all this con-
fusion among the professionals, he also
managed to win the American amateur
championship the last two years.
And as stated, the score of 291 made
by Jones in capturing the 1926 British
open, tied the best mark ever made in
the event. Jim Braid won at Walton
Heath in 1908 with the same score.

A Popular victory.

The victory of Bobby Jones in win
ming the British open was a decidedly
popular one at home and abroad.
If there is dissenting vote, it would
come from the professional golf play
ers.
In all sports, the professional is re-
garded as the superior Of the amateur
This usually holds good, but golf very
often offers decided exception. Bobby
Jones is such an Individual
While Jones is very popular with
the professional players, a victory by
ono of their rankj probably would
have been more pleasing, simply be-
cause it would keep the pro to the
fore and that is quite desirable if he
is to continue to get the big money.
Six Great Rounds.
Jones, in winning the British open
turned in four rounds of remarkable
golf He was consistent throughout
He had 72 for his first two rounds
then a 70, followed by a "A, a total
of 291.
Coupled with his record breaking
qualifying rounds of 66-68-194 at Sun
ningdale, Jones turned in six remark
able exhibitions of golf, which should
stand for some time.
It's been 20 years since the amateur
won the British open. Harold Hilton
captured it in 1897. He also won it in
1892. Only three amateurs have ever
been successful in its conquest, John
Ball, Harold Hilton and Bobby Jones.
The British open was inaugurated in
1860. When you figure that over a
period of 66 years only, three amateurs

TURKS ASK GOVERNMENT
 CONTROL OF DANCING
Would Have Monopoly Of Halls to Protest Morals of Young
 Women

Constantinople, March 27 I9 - Tho Puritans of Turkey alarmed at tho craze for modern dancing which is sweeping the country are urging the government to create dance monopoly" They argue that only under government ownership can the public halls be safe places for tho girls who have always been so carefully protected. Further they argue that such Q monopoly would provide large amount of revenue for tho government
 Monopolies. however, arc not popular in Turkey at the present time, The governments recent monopolization of sugar, petroleum and gasoline has caused the price of these commodities to soar, In the case of sugar the rise in price brought on q famine which assumed serious proportions in Constantmoplo For week sugar, which was piled up in the customs house, could not be distributed us the law creating the government monopoly had gone into effect but the machinery of ad- ministratton had not been formed, | Now the government wheels are operating but they arc turning out sugar which costs the public about seven cents more per oke ( two and three quarter pounds) than former ly. Hence the Turkish people are anathematizing monopolies In gen. eral.

FRANZ KNEISEL FAMED
 VIOLINIST, PASSES AWAY
Roumanian Was Organizer and Member Of Quartet Bearing
 His Name.

Boston, March 27 P, --- The death in New York Of Franz Knel- sel, Roumanian vlolinist, has re- called to music lovers here tho fa- nous Kneisel string quartet, organ ized less than a year after Kneisel began his American career as con. cert master and soloist Of the Bos- ton Symphony orchestra in 1885. knclsol died last night.
 His quartet came into being primarily through the wish of Ma jor Henry l.. Hlgginson. founder and patron of the Boston sym phony, that chamber music be given more prominent notice. The quar- let gave an annual series of con. certs which from the first attract ed wide attention. It performed the standard works of the classic com posers, but more often introduced for the first time many important chamber music productions by famous American and European composers, In these productions the quartet often was augmented by the composer.
 Besides Kneisel as first violinlst, the quartet included Julius Von Thoodorowicz, his fellow student at the Vienna conservatory. Louis Svoncenski, violinist, and Alvin Schroeder violoncellist. Schroeder was considered one of the most &C., complishcd cellists of the time and was one of tho few to receive the honor of an invitation to become soloist of the Hof opera in Berlin.

Canadian Liberal Wants
 PIebisCite on Beer

Edmonton, Alta, March 27 Pl- A resolution of Mrs. Nellie McClung, liberal, calling upon the government 10 take a plebiscite on the question of the retention of the beer parlors during the general provincial cleo ton, has been defeated in the legis- lature by the most decisive vote of the session-4S to 8.
 Premier Brownlee, who led in the opposition to the resolution, declar- ed that it was not good policy for the prohibitionists to demand a plebi- scite on a question which was voted on by 90,o00 only in 1928, and which had not had a longer trial, at most, than IS months. Also. he con- tinucd, the direct legislative Act should have been invoked, if any change in the act was desired, in the same manner as the 1928 plebi- scite was demanded and granted.

TACNA.ARICA CASE
 STILL UNSETTLED
Chilean and American PlebisCite
 Officials in WranSle

Africa, Chile, March 27 P)-Al- though Chile and Peru have agreed for the time being to forego the holding of a pleblscite on the ques- ton of a settlement of the historic question as to the suzerainty of the provinces of Tacna and Africa pend ing an attempt by the United States to mediate in the controversy, com plications have arisen between the Chilean and American plebiscite ofli- cials.
 This is due to a claim by the Chileans that they accepted the good offices of the United States only on condition that the plebiscite activi- ties should not bo disturbed during the negotiations. The Americans are demanding complete suspension of activities uling the interim.
 Yesterdays announcement that q direct settlement of the question at issue between Chile and Peru would be substituted at lst for the time being, for the plebiscite. was receiv- cd with hostility by many Chileans. and fear was expressed in many qua ters that the sudden reversal of the procedure might culminate in serious rloting and attacks upon Peruvlans especially in Tacna. The Chilean authorities, are known to have taken precautions against dis turbances, and to have expressed the intention of landing men from the warships in the event of untoward scenes.
 It is understood they specifically mentioned in communications eX- changed between Santiago and Wash ington during February, when the mediation offer was made, that the commissio, or it's equivalent remain here and that its activities should continue pending efforts at a diplo. matic settlement.
 IL Is understood a similar offer was made 10 Peru. but that while Chile accepted 1t, Peru declined it The Washington government after the failure decided to proceed witl the plebiscite until on March 25 Pert accepted the same offer of good Of. fees, which the Chlleans claim are still restricted by the limitation thar the plebiscite activities were not tc he disturbed.
 A meeting of the plebiscite com. mission is to be held tomorrow morning, when 1t Is expected the matter will be finally threshcd out
