American Professional Golf Champion,

~ AkMONT COUNTRY CLUB.
Pittsburgh. Pa, June IA
One of the three big days in
American golf in 1927 is here
as the first IS holes is being
contested in the open championship.
1t Will take real golfer to win,
for there is no course in America
better suited to determine the cham
pion. Oakmont is as fine a test of
golf as the great players ever have
encountered in the play of the most
sought-for title in the game.
The American open has become the
greatest event in golf, and with the
British Ryder cup team here. this
wears tournament is. the greatest
ever.
There is no telling who among the
many stars will win, but | am GER
tain it will be a well recognized
player, and after four days of practice
| have had no cause to change my
five favorites, Bobby Jones, the
champion: Johnnie Farrell and Bobby
CruiCkshank, the American profess
SIGNALS, and Aubrey Boomer and
Charles Whitcomb of the British
Ryder Cup team.
Fine Putting Essential.
eSI9fudN the NdklllOHL STSSIlS were
cut, although they were keen enough
to suit most golfers as they were, and
If the weather clears these keen
greens are going to put tremendous
value on a fine putting touch, for
while the ball rolls true it will take
the finest strokes to get the long puts
close enough to make sure of holing
the next one. This will be a three
putt tournament unless the sogginess
caused by the rain this morning con
tinues.
Every section of America is repre-
scented here by the foremost prOfes-
SIGNALS, and we also have handful
of the best amateurs, headed by Bobby
Jones. 1 played yesterday with Jones,
Watts Gum and Lee Diegel and found
Jones the same machine-like player
he has been ever since he started in
this event at Toledo several years
ago.
Bobby is just shade lighter than
he was at Columbus last year This |
will do him more good than harm. He |
is just as great as ever, and this is
good enough to win if he plays his |
game, and he usually does.
1 have talked with a number of. the |
boys and watched many play since l |
have been here. Gene Sarazen is |
very good. l saw him play a number |
of holes without making an error. |
Gene slipped to Oakmont about two |
weeks ago and practiced and was |
back again the middle of last week. |
He has prepared himself as carefully |
as any of the players.
BritOns Like the Course.
The Britishers like the course, con-
slider it a fine test and suitable to |

Reverse Times Tomorrow.

Starting times of all the players
will be reversed tomorrow, with Beach
getting away in the second cham
pionship round at 1140 and Armour
teeing off at 1:25. The same part
ners will play through the first two
rounds and tomorrow night only the
first 60 players and ties will be eligi-
BILE to play SO holes on Thursday for
the championship.
Oakmont'S rugged test, in the judg-
ment of the clubhouse sharps, will
beat back the efforts of this fine field
to break 295 over it's bunkered ex-
panse. On the other hand, those who
have watched the stars in action for
the past week point to the So regis
tered by Bob Jones on Sunday, the
SO hung up by Aubrey Boomer on
Friday and the 20 registered by
Tommy Armour on Thursday last.
Fred Mcleod of Columbia, who
knows the course like a book, be-
lieves Oakmont's 1000 yards of sand
ridden terror will jump the winning
score up to at least 298, and that 300
may win. His judgment is supported
by some and questioned by many, but
there is no question in the minds of
those who know Oakmont that a
couple of bad shots will drop even the
best of the stars out of champion
ship chance.
Bob Jones Is the outstanding favor
lite. No doubt of that. for in this, as in
other title chases over the past six
years, the hope of the entire pack has
been to beat the Atlanta marvel.

The big parade of golfdom's
~ leading lights started from
the elevated first tee at Oak
mont today. with q meager entry from
the Capital City engaged in a knock
down, drag-out fight for the national
open golf championship of the United
States.
Only two p1ayers--the smallest en-
try from Washington in many years
represented the Capital in this great.
est of all open championships, al
though one of them, Tommy Armour
of the Congressional Country Club, IS
regarded as one of the real threats to
Bobby Jones in his bid for his third
open title. The other. Ralph Beach Of
Burning Tree, was given little more
than an outside chance over Oak
mont's bunkered stretch, where golf
terror of a sort hardly equaled in this
country awaits the inaccurate shots Of
even the finest player.
The entire field of more than $50
linksmen was scheduled to play IS
holes today, with the first pair swing
ing down the bunker bordered first
fairway at $50 this morning, and the
last pair scheduled to leave at 2:40
this afternoon. Beach was one of the
first starters, getting away at $40
with Waldo w. Crowder of Shreve.

lost one of the keys and had taken the
one which he had always left in the
bank and put, it in his pocket. He
testified that he had come into the
bank one day and found the drawer

it had been forced. Upon investigation
he had found that McKinnon had
wanted to get into the drawer and had
opened it in this manner, he testified.

upon his moving to Phoenix the matter

The bill bears the emergency and
became law today. The governor,
in passing the bill, states that he
has grave doubts that the bill en-
acted by the legislature will correct
the present delihquent tax situation,
and whether it Will prove The remedy
needed He states he is inclined
to believe otherwise and that two
years from now, it will be repealed
and the measure fostered by the
state tax commission will be enacced
The bill passed, provides that four
months after the taxes become de-
linquent, the county attorney can
bring suit to collect. In event thar
the couny attorney does not act, the
bill empowers the county treasurer
six months after the second install
employ an attorney to bring suit TO
collect.
Judgment cannot then be taken
after the delinquent date of the sec
ond installment of taxes. In the
case of delinquent taxes of prior
years, if the county at orn y
does not bring suit two months after
\ the Dill becomes olIecIlNe lne. county
treasurer may employ counsel three
nonths after to bring suit. In the
case of the latter type Of delin-
]euencies, the judgment debtor mas
! the privilege of paying the judg-
ment in annual installments equal
to the number Of years of delin-
Guency.
| Where private attorney has been
employed he is to be paid five per
cent of the taxes where collection
was made without suit and Is per
cent where made by+ judgment. At
tcrneys employed are required to
give bond of $4,000 or more as the

Under the bill the delinquent tax
suits are to be brought in the

gates from each school district This
committee, on whose efforts now
hangs the fate of the entire project,
should be made to interest the entire
valley in the project, to secure all
available information on the subject
and to work out a definite plan.
Members of the committee We're
delegated to arrange for a meeting
in the near future at an upper val-
ley point at which time the senti-
ment Of all the people of the valley
will be voted in.
While there were many arguments
end discussions during the meeting
last night on ways and means OIL
securing power, on methods OF or
ganizing the district and on mum
her Of other issues there was no
expression in opposition to the
movement. While this m e e t i n
brought out large amount of very
valuable information which satisfied
many doubts and created q new en-
thusiasm for the project it was real
lied that there is yet much to learn
about the question.
In this regard IL was eSllnhdleu
that it will take many months to
assemble a working knowledge CT
the matter in hand and to thoroughly
convince all of the farmers of the
feasibility of the project. The men
from Casa Grande pointed out that
electric projects are in their infancy
and that in their case there was
nothing in history to teach them
what to do or how to do it,
1t was freely predicted following
the meeting, however, that the prof,
ect will be started although many
who are studying the matter admit
that great tangle of facts and lega
matter will have to be milled ove'
tefore the power flows over the
fertile acres that are to make q
