AMATEUR TOURNEY
Won Elm, Watts and Gum to
Meet Stiff Competition
BY JIMMY POWERS

New York, Aug. 2O-"Step right
up, ladies and gents, to the best liz
golf show on earth!
See Bobby Jones, wonder-boy,
the superman, the stoopendous
scintillating star of the links!
See the fat ones, the skinny ones
the tall ones, the short ones, ETC."
The ballyhoo is on. Thrills are
ahead. You can almost picture the
phantom figure Of nifty" Miller of
The Barker Turing his gallery to
Minnikahda's rolling prairies
A succession of amazing feats by
American amateur golfers during
recent weeks promises national
amateur championship next month
that will surpass all others for spine
tingling.
Bobby Jones' achievement in
again winning the British open in
record breaking figures overshad-
ows everything, of course. 1t brings
assurance. Furthermore. to his
friends who were bitterly disappoint
ed by his downfall in the American
open. Many tear was shed at the
supposed passing of the worlds
greatest medal player. He's lost his
grip; he's shot his bolt-those were
the whispered comments now hush
ed.
Now Jones' was not a lonesome
achievement among the amateurs.
His protege, Watts Gum, gave a
brilliant exhibition, capable of
winning any match play champion
ship. when he battered young Ro-
land Mackenzie to earth in the final
of the national Intercollegiate. He
also annexed his state title during
idle moments.
Those two victories proved Gum
is a golfer in his own right-not a
shadow Of his famous pal. They
proved it was no flukey streak that
brought him gloriously to the finals
at Oakmont two years ago.
Gum, in that championship, gave
Jess Sweetser a terrific beating. 1t
is too bad Jess will not get a chance
to reverse the verdict at Minnekah-
da. for his health limits him to 8
holes a day.
George Won Elm will be in tip
top shape. The clash between Jones
and Won Elm will be worth travel
ing half n continent to see. The
struttine grenadier deserved his
1926 triumph over the Atlanta wiz
ard. He will once more be the
hope of the far west which IS seek
ing the 1928 amateur tournament
site.
George Weight, provided he can
clear his name of hometown charges
and chickering's. will be watched.
The sporting element. always look
ing for an overnight flash to upset
the dope. will keep their eyes glued

Paris. Aug. 20 Up - Oriental
thought has solved many problems
with which the western world has
wrestled in vain, believes E. Bar
rington, English novelist. She is
resting in Paris. which provided the
background for her latest novel,
THE Thunderer, based on the life
of Napoleon.
Il was much In touch with the
Oriental side of things, besides
which the interest of the govern

she will live after a trip to Ceylon.

SeQuestered Church
Traded for Embassy

Vienna, Aug. 20 Up - Austria
finally has a new embassy building
in Moscow. because a Russian
church here was held as a sort OF
hostage.
During the war the Austrian en-
bassy at St. Petersburg was plum
dered and destroyed. Failing to get
prompt redress, the Austrian gov
eminent took possession of the mag
nificent church on the Russian en-
bassy grounds here. 1t was turned
over to the Soviet authorities the
day the Moscow government gave
the new building at Moscow to the
Austrian embassy staff there.

There Is no question but what
amateur golf is getting classy in
this country. Business among the
simon-pures is looking up. The boys
are no chumps-as many a pro who
lost his shirt betting in a friendly
mixed foursome will sadly tell you.
Only one finishing touch Is neces-
sary to make the weekend at Min
nekahda riotous success. That
would be the presence of Edwin H.
Haley, the hitherto unknown young
American who all but upset the
blinking English tournament this
summer. II he can be induced to
make visit home this fall Amer
lean fans are in for a rare golfing
treat
Even as it is. the affair is going
to be some picnic.

Rare Records Are Lost
During Vienna Ri0tlng

Vienna, Aug. ~ tf'-o"hersh'p
of property, validity Of marriages
and divorces. financial settlements
and many court cases are made
doubtful by the wholesale destruc-
ton of records in the burning OF the
Palace of Justice during the July
socialist rioting.
Several years, 1t Is estimated, Will
be needed to gather again the evil
dence on file in pending civil and
criminal cases. Many of these prob
ably will be dropped, because some
documents can not be replaced.
Nearly half of the abstracts OF
title to Vienna property were burn
ed. Record of many regulariza-
tons of irregular marriages are
gone. The loss of the records. 1t Is
said, will affect seriously thousands
of firms and individuals.
Glass flowers, already popular as
