lightly into the ball, tkaing q little
turf after the hit. I like to play
the bali just off the left heel,
though. Of course, that varies &C.

and other things.
The player should take particu-
lar pains to sole the club right.
Let the club head lie on the
ground and let IL take its natural
position. Too many players do
not let the natural sole of the
club lie as Il should.
The arms for a light iron shot

should be much the same as in q
drive. though the back swing has
not the column that the drive mas.
The wrists should break at the
top OF the swing, and the club
should be brought down in swift
but definite swing. Take a prac-
kice swing, and IL the club head
runs away with the stroke, it is
because Of two things: either the
swing has started down too fast, or
there Is too much club for the

Tony Lazzeri was a murderous

Dugan have been playing under
severe handicaps. Dugan was out

Famous Pixies Peak
Climb Duplicated
On California Hill

The nationally famous Pixies
Peak climb is to be rivaled by the
Mt. Diablo stock car event accord

Already the California mountain
climbing contest has taken. it's
place among the automotive clas-

manufacturers of cars of any class :;
but the car with which they COM

the Chevrolet must be Identical

of which have been delivered in

of the run is the standing of the

He must be a local man. This

assumed national Importance with
the announcement that the chal-
lenge trophy offered by an Oakland
newspaper for the fastest time up
the slopes of Diablo under the
rules governing the award had
been lifted by Chevrolet.
1t is now claimed by men high
in the industry that the Mt Diablo
dash will soon be as we'll known
as the Pixies Peak race and that
the California climb will rank with
the great European mountain runs.
The driver of the first car to
capture the Mt. Diablo trophy, Joe
MendOnca, was an amateur. He is
receiving congratulations from
members of the vast Chevrolet or
ganization of the Pacific coast
which stretches from sun-baked
adobies of Mexico to the snow-cov-
cred lands of British Columbia.
Mendonca covered the 11.6 miles
of mountain highway in "a minutes
and 20 seconds; and this is con-
sidered excellent time when it is
recalled that the average motorist
is content to make the climb in an
hour.
When the Chevrolet made the Mt.
Diablo run for the newspaper tro-
ply, Mendonca was officially tim
ed by Representatives of the paper
making the award and the run was
officially observed in accordance
with the rules governing this high
land road classic.
The trophy will remain in the
possession of the Chevrolet organi-
zation for a period of sixty days
during which time no competitor
may compete for it. After that
period has elapsed Mendonca will
hold the trophy until some other

his resolution for waving of the

acted upon favorably by congress.
This resolution has already been
introduced by the senator. The
content of the message received
from the senator seems to indicate
that his resolution will probably be
passed soon. He further explained
that the waving of the fees is the
direct result of the Investigations
which were conducted in the south
west last June by the senate sub
committee. Senator Cameron was
chairman of the subcommittee and
conducted the hearings.
Senator Cameron recalled in his
message that the waving of the
grazing fees is in direct accord with
the promise elected from United

Greeley during the hearings of the

forester said at that time that he
would recommend the waving of
the grazing fees for the entire year.

not turned over the assets and et-
fects of the City Ice Delivery COM
pany in accordance with an order
of Judge Jenckes court several
weeks ago. Mrs. Mosher, accord
ing to her story, informed the

a corporation formed to take over
the concern.
Judge Jenckes told Mrs. MOsher
she says, that he understood she
was president of the new firm and
could deliver the firms assets if
she saw fit to do so. He then gave
her "a hours to comply with the
original court order or go to jail

Another Identified in "Alky" Trade Is "Taken
 for a Ride"

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-tPs-Another man connected with Chicagos illicit liquor traffic has been taken for a rlde,' and a new notch has been "hlttled on the pistol of gangland.
 At the very moment police were rounding up and questioning gang sters in connection with the recent staying of 'Hymie" Weiss, leader of the ctty's most powerful bootleg band. tho body of man identified as John Dano, q relatively unim- portant figure In the "alky" business, was found near the intersection of two main travelled roads in Frank lin park, a suburb.
 Although the authorities were convinced that Dano was a victim of bootleg feud, there was no immediate evidence to connect his staying with the machine gun killing of Weiss.
 The latest murder had the customary setting of the gangster who had been taken for a ride. The man, with five bullet wounds, was tossed from an automobile which apparently lost itself in the heavy traffic of Mannheim road, a short distance away.
 Dano, the police were informed. was active in bootlegging under the Genna regime. When the power of the five Genna brothers was eclips- ed, Dano sank in importance, and finally retired to a suburb. where he operated a cafe.
 Three alleged gangsters, including Vincent "Schemer" Drucci, reputed cd successor to Weiss, were seized Sunday at a football game, and an other man was picked up at hotel for questioning, in connection with the Weiss killing. All denied sany knowledge of the North State street machine gun fight.
 Drucci said he was In New York at the time of the killing. and had not seen Weiss for a month. He was in the real estate business, he aver red, and knew nothing of bootleg ging or a bootlegging war.
 Police found a pistol on Vincent McErlane. another of those seized.

SALVATION ARMY HALL CLASSIFIED AS CHURCH
Arch Street Barracks Will Not Go on Tax
 List

Although the Salvation Army did not file q list of it's properties with the board of assessors during the time prescribed by state statutes for receiving such declarations, the Arch streets barracks will not go on the tax list since the board of assessors has decided to be governed by re- cent decision of the corporation counsel that the organization is a church.
 Heretofore the holdings of the Salvation Army have been exempted from taxes as a benevolent institu- ton rather than as a church. When the board of adjustment had under consideration a proposed public gar age close to the Arch street build ing the question was raised as to it's status and Judge Kirkham ruled the barracks to be a church.
 The state law which is effective for the first time this year requires all benevolent, charitable, welfare, educational and cemetery associ- ations to file lists and provides that those failing to do so lose their tax exemption. Had the corporation counsePs ruling not been recorded last month, it would have been com pulsory for the assessors to place the barracks on the taXlist, not only for it's market value, but also with a 10 per cent delinquency penalty.

Misuse of Liquor Per- mits and Help Given in M a king Gin and Whiskey Criticized by Putney.
Enforcement Conference Hears Prohibition Ad- ministrator, Prof. Fisher and Others in Addresses Today.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. IS R-The misuse of liquor permits by certain doctors, and the aid given many druggists by physicians in making whiskey and gin of their alcohol, are among the biggest problems confronting the dry law agents here today, Frank c. Putney, federal prohibition administrator, told the Connecticut women's conference on law enforcement here this morning. MT. PUtney said that i spite of the many difficulties the agents en- counter and in spite of the small force of prohibition officials, consid- erable headway is being made in the work Of enforcing the eighteenth amendment.
 About 250 men and women, in cluding many figures of statewide prominence and leaders in the vari- ous women's organiz .ions, attended the conference. Mayor Stevens in welcoming the delegates said that the prohibition law should be either enforced or repealed. Mrs. Henry W. Peabody. of Beverly, Mass, chair man of the national women's com mittee for law enforcement, making the chief address of the morning, asserted that while men are good at giving law they arc often a failure at enforcing it, and that it is up to the women to bring about the suc- cess of prohibition. She outlined many ways in which women might work to this end.
 Mrs Peabody, speaking again at the afternoon session, discussed Can this republic enforce It's laws?'
