The Washington Post, intaking up the mater of immigration proposals says: In general the changes in the immigration laws which Secre- tary Davis proposes to recommend to Congress will be heartily approv- ed by all who have given any atten- ton to the subject. Mr. Davis will recommend that aliens who, once having been deported, find their way back to our shores in violation of the laws, should be subject to penalties in addition to being de- ported.
 He would hold ship masters res ponsible for the entry of stow aways unless 1t can be shown that all due diligence on the part of masters and crews had been ex- ercised and failed to discover the presence of the undesirables. Will also ask that the deportation laws be codified and strengthened, with the new classes of deportable aliens ! to be created including peddlers of narcotics.
 | Present laws permit the alien jwife of an American citizen to ent- ! CT the country to join her husband, without reference to quota of the < country whence she comes. Secre- ! tary Davis suggests that like pri- lvi1ege be extended to alien husbands of American wives, and that all alien children of American citizens between the ages of Is and 21 be laccorded the status of nonquota inn migrants. The limit is now IS years.
 The present laws deprive the North American Indians who reside in contiguous territory outside the limits of the United States of the fright of immigration or natura1fza- tion. This has been the basis of 1much controversy in dealing with Canadian Indians especially, and Secretary Davis suggests that, in view of the failure of Congress to fully understand the provisions of the law of 1917 when the statute was enacted, so far as it may relate to the status of these people, the act should be- amended accordingly
 He further asks Congress to con slider "the necessity for special re- lief for the wives and minor children of aliens married at the time of entry, who entered the United States lawfully, for permanent residence, prior to July 1st, 1924"
 1 Tn view of the fact that all the recommendations of the Secretary of Labor are based upon his expert ence in the administration of Inc immigration laws during the las six years or more, they shou1 q re- ceive the careful considerat tion ot the committee on immigration and of bothhouses of Congress.

We don't know what the official measurements are, but in those places where the snow hadn't been disturbed and there was no drift the depth at noon on the 24th was II inches. This represents a fall more or less steady since early Monday A. M.

ARMY AND CITY
WILL CLASH AT
P AR K SUNDAY
Game Expected to Be One
of Best Here in Years
Big Crowd Expected

Increased interest in the outcome
of the Army-Twilight League game
on Sunday is arousing the fans TO
considerable speculation and potn
teams are claiming unexpected
strength, both in the fielding and
batting departments. The game VIII
be played Sunday as the main at
traction of a double-header, the flrst
being played between the Nacozarl
team and the White Sox, a local
team. The first game will be played
at 2 D. m. The second game should
get under way shortly after $3.50 as
the preliminary game is scheduled ter
seven 1li1lings by agreement.
The Army Twilight Stars game is
sure to draw a record crowd as these
teams have never met. The strength
of the army team is well known and
they can be expected to put up a
whale of q game, but the challeng-
ers are in fine fettle and expect to
win over the soldier nine.
Gotta and Molino will start as the
Twilight league battery. Austin, lp.;
Valenzuela, 2b; McRae, shortstop;
Miller, 3b; Rubio, CT; Ruterman III
and Amaya Or Pererya ri. It is pos
sible that several other changes will
be made as the list Of available sub
stitutes is long and many are first
class players. 1T is desired that all
eligibles report to the ball park on
Sunday in uniform 4 if possible as there
is a strong possibility of playing a
part of the game. Rivera will keep in
condition to work part OF the
game if the soldiers start working on
Cota's delivery too strong. Ruterman
will be held in reserve also. The pitch
ing department is well fortified to
to give the infantry team q hard
bombardment
The camp team will use the same
lineup as they used last Sunday
when they trimmed the White Sox
10 to 2. The. regular camp umpires
will officiaCe. "A small admission
charge will be made to defray ex-
penses of playing the contest.
The fans and supporters of the
Twilight League team will be out
to give their favorites hearty re-
ception, The regular attendance at
Twilight league games have been in
,creasing by leaps and bounds as the
games have become more closely
contested. 5}g atet

Public Links Tourney ll
Reaches Final Stage.

|. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 5 (R-Ex-
cellent golf, worthy of any champion
ship, today brought Carl Kaufman, of
Pittsburgh and William Serrick of
New York, to theifinals of the national
public links championship of the
Ridgewood course Neither semi final
match was in doubt after the first few
holes, although the losers fought back
gamely and at times brilliantly as long
as possible.
Serrick played the Steadiest golf, be-
ing one under par for the ID holes ne
needed to defeat Kendall Morrison, of
st. Joseph, Mo-, and 4, but Kauf-
man except for three bad holes, was
8 under perfect figures in his 8 and 1
victory over Robert Wingate, of Jack
sonviIle, Fla, the losers were six above
par at the finish. All four won en-
trance to the national amateur to be
played two weeks hence at Mime
apoliS.
kaufman previously eliminated j.
r. Miller, Of Washington, in the morn
ing round, 5 and 4, by scoring 3 un-
der par for ID holes, probably the most
brilliant scoring of the tournament.
He started poorly with Wingate but
finished strong.

COURT ACTION
THREATENS TO
Halt BIC FIGHT

CHICAGO, Aug. A QF9--The same old
spectre which robbed Chicago OF the
first Tunney- dempsey heavyweight
championship fight was resurrected
today to hinder the staging of the re-
turn match court action against
Dempsey to enforce an alleged con-
tract to meet Harry Wills.
Counsel for B. e. Clements, declared
that suit would be renewed against
the former champion in q few days, to
at least recover the $4,000 Clements
alleges he has spent trying to go
through with the Dempsey Wills match
for which he declares Dempsey signed.
Rickard took the SeSqui battle back
east when he failed to come to terms
with Clements and others last fall.
The spectre held no terrors for the
hackers of the match scheduled for
Soldiers field, September AZ, however.
Tex Rickard called 1t "a mere bid for
publicity The Illinois athletic COM
mission declined even to comment on
Clements threatened action.
John Balm, the South Park commits
Sioner who cast the lone vote against
leasing the stadium to Rickard, said he
knew of no reason why the fight
should not go on as scheduled. The
other park board members were out
of town but Balm said the boards
engineers were going ahead with seat
building plans and paid no attention
to talk of action to prevent the match.
Virtually every possible site around
Chicago had been offered by today to
the two boxers as training camps and
word was received from Dempsey that
he would leave for the scene of the
fight August Is. He mentioned golf
as a desirable adjunct to his training
program There are more than $50
golf clubs around Chicago from which
he could make selection.
George F. Getz, millionaire coal op-
orators and legal promoter of the fight,
was the last to leave tonight for his
summer home across the lake. He
and the other moving spirits in the
program for the title bout expected to
return Monday to meet Rickard and
get preparations under way.

Yanks Play All Stars
A Tight Game of Ball

All Star camp yesterday and for four
innings held a 10 lead that looked
good as Happy" Mahaffey, twirling
for the YankS, was setting the heavi.
est hitters back on strikeouts, short
pop flies and easy hoppers. 1t began
to look as if the Yanks were going
to force the All Stars to extra innings
but Peryra hit a homer with the
paths loaded and put the game on
ice With a three run lead the Yanks
frightened and added three to their
total SO the game was in deadlock
at the fifth The All Stars kept
hamInering away and in the final
innings connected for enough runs
to win.
Happy Mahaffey, pitching his first
game was effective for four innings
but weakened toward the close

when he was jerked to give way to

Deciding Game in Big
Diamond Battle Is Set
F or Today In League

The curtain will fall on the Twi-
light league pennant race To-Day at
5 D. m. when the SwaStikas and
Speed Demons meet in the final
game Of the closest race that has
ever been waged for city honors.
Scarcely a hall game behind the
Swastikas are forced to win today TO
clinch the pennant while Speed
Demon victory will give the pennant
to the All Stars. The rival teams
are speculating on the selection Of
pitchers that the respective managers
will make today as the season clos
es.
Manager Kelley Nemeck of the
speed Demons is worried over his
pitching selection as Clint Cary, his
ace is complaining over sore arm
but Cary is ready and anxious to
turn back the Swastikas as handily
as he did on his last start against
this team. Cary held the Swastikas
to no hits until the final inning
when single and 4-ply swat gave
them two runs. Cary's team mates
had given him six runs, SO he had
no trouble winning and was never in
danger.
Captain Miller of the Swastikas
has been grooming Lefty Ruterman
for this final game and feels that his
star performer will have no trouble
with this game as he gave the All
Stars a 10 beating the last game
he pitched. Ruterman has had three
days rest and is in good conditiin
to speed them over the rubber.
The batting strength of the two
rival teams is about equal and the
fielding averages have been about
equal also, SO a close game is anti
cipated The Swastikas are tearing
at the leash for chance to redeem
themselves for their last beating at
the hands of the Speed Demons.
The averages TODAY are:
