MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, August %.
One by one the records of golf have
fallen before the cleaning irons Of
Robert Jones. the budding barrister
of Atlanta. and in the thirty-first
amateur championship of the United
States that starts over the Minikah-
da course here Monday, the brilliant
Georgian is faced with the opportuni-
" to write Il new chapter of brilliant
achievement in the history of Ameri-
cas- premier links event.
Only two men i'll the history of
golf ever have reached the finals of
a national amateur championship in
three successive years. They are Bob
by Jones and Jerome Travers--one of
the stalwartS of American golf 20
years ago. a week hence. Bobby Jones
may be the only player ever TO march
10 the finals i'll four consecutive cham
pionships.
Travers made his three successive
drives to the amateur finals more
than Il decade ago. He was finalist
and winner in 1912 and 1913. when
he defeated Chick Evans and John
Anderson for the title, and the run
ner-,Ip to Francis Ouimet at Ekwanok
in 1914, when the Bostonian reached
the peak of his career.
Jones' Record a Parallel.
Jones record is a parallel of Trav.
ers'. lie was the victor in 1924 and
1925. when he turned back George
Won Elm and Watts Gum, and the
rIInner-up year ago at Baltusrol,
when he was checked by Won Elm.
So Bobby 1as the opportunity IN
this championship to establish a new
record and also tie Walter Travers,
should he win his third amateur
championship. That would leave only
Travers ahead Of him in American
golf, for Jerry is the only man ever
TO win the amateur four times.
Jones, Won Elm and the other stars
already are on the championship
grounds getting the touch of Mini
kahdas greens and learning the ge-
ography of it's traps. Minikahda, one
learns, means: by the side of
water"
There is a creek that winds through
the Minnesota hills and offers a haZ-
ard on three holes. while lake that
demands a 190-yard carry makes the
sixth hole rather fearsome affair to
those who do not have the utmost
confidence in their irons. Minikahda's
sixth is one of the finest water holes
found on a championship course In
several seasons, and plenty or ruin
will be seen there before the tourna-
ment is ended.
Three Severe Dog-Leg Holes.
Three severe dog-leg holes add to the

n INIKAHDA Club. Minneapolis,
Nu August 22.-Their practice
N rounds a thing of the past,
i six Washington golfers start
ed today over the bewildering
Mnikahda course in an attempt to
qualify in golfdom's blue ribbon event,
the thirty-first renewal of the Nation
al Amateur championship Tor the
crown now worn by George Won Elm
of Los Angeles.
Two-thirds of the big field, which
started today devoted their attention 10
their own game on this trying course.
The other third had Weather-eye
cooked in the direction of George >.
Voigt, wondering what the Capital
PLAYER. who came under the eagle eye
of the United States Golf Association
a few weeks ago, would do in his
second amateur championship.
There is no denying the fact that
George Voigt is apt to be somewhat
of a sensation here, not because he has
been the subject of a searching scru-
tiny Of the golf governing body, but pe-
cause of his fine game. Noigt mas
even been given an outside chance to
win by some of those who watched
him shoot a nonchalant IL yesterday
and an equally easy 73 the day pre-
vious. His hardest hurdle come to-
day and tomorrow. for il he survives
the rigorous qualifying test, he is apt
to cause havoc in the ranks of the
elect.
Mackenzie Playing Well.
The other Washington entrants have
not caused anywhere near the sensa'
ton that the icy cold Voigt has ere.
DoIop1 NTocKonzio has been
playing well, simply attempting to find
the easiest way to the hole and not
trying to be a par. Miller b. Stevin
son, Page Hufty, Guy M. Standifer
and A.. l.. Houghton, all OF the Capt.
tai, have been going through similar
methods, preparing for the big test to-
day and tomorrow. OF the six, Mac
Kenzie and Voigt appear to be the
two men most likely to qualify and
Noigt alone appears certain to make
the grade.
AS all championship links should be
| the Minkallda course is a rough
tough affair. Not so much matter
| of hitting lengthy tee shots, but a
| matter of keeping them in the narrow
| fairways and out of the bunkers.
Hufty claims it's the toughest course
| in America, but then Page hasn't been
| through the championship mill SO
often as some of the more seasoned
campaigners. Page got out in 40 yes
terday afternoon, and thought he was
going quite well. but he ran into a
peck of trouble coming home and get
back in a breezy so. And, that is not
so hard to do on test where a putt
may go straight for the back Of the
cup and suddenly veer two feet off the

seven new greens that are Minikahda's s
pride saw to it that undulations
| aplenty were put in them to test the
| eye of the best putter, and it won't he

came as surprise to Washington
AID prompted immediate specula-
ton on the position the American
government would take.
Chen's refusal to admit that Can
tonesc nationalist troops We're re-
sponsible for the outrages which re-
suited in the Staying of one Ameri-
can and several other foreigners,
was regarded with concern in some
quarters. while in others it admit
tedely was viewed as presenting an
other obstacle in dealing with the
already difficult China situation.
No comment was forthcoming at
the state department or at other
government agencies that have been
in touch with developments in
China.
Neither could 1t be learned
whether Chens reply had been for
mally received as other officials
manifest complete reticence to dis
cuss the subject in any way.
Word Of Chen's reply reached the
capital at time when officials
were awaiting with interest the out
come of the conference between
moderate leaders Of the Cantonese
party scheduled to take place al
! Marking today. Advices last night
besides indicating that the meeting
would be held as planned, also told
Of severe Cantonese reverSes in the
area around Marking and of strong
counter move by forces allied with
, the Picking government.
Although there was no official ex-
preston regarding Chen's reply, 1t
vas recalled that only three days
ago it was said at the White House
that President Coolidge expected
the nationalists to comply with the
moderate demands that were made
upon the Cantonese by the United
States. The question of providing
punitive action to enforce those de-
mands it was said, had not been
taken up by the president because
Of this expectation.
Considerable speculation arose
today over what position the Wash
ington government would take. In
some quarters the opinion was ex-
pressed that the proposal to create
an international commission to in
vestigate the outrages would not re-
ceive favorable reception, but
, pending a more complete report on
the foreign minister's reply, no one
; would venture a prediction as to
what would be the next step by the
American government.
In the anti-foreign outbreak at
Marking on March "a, one Ameri-
can citizen and three British sub
jects we're killed, a number of
other foreigners were wounded,
women were subjected to indigni-'
ties and foreign property, including
the American. British and Japan
ese consulates, was looted.
One party OF foreigners took re-
fuge on Socony Hill, site OF the
Standard OIL property. from which
they were rescued only after their
attackers had been driven off by a

writing by the CHIEF
OF the nationalist army. including a
written undertaking to refrain from
violence against foreign lives and
property, is, as far as an apology is
concerned, justified on proof Of ma
tionalist guilt for the Marking dis
turbances. The nationalist govern
ment, therefore proposes that the
question of an apology should also
await determination of the question
Of guilt. either by the government
inquiry, now In progress, or by the
proposed international commission.
In the meantime the nationalist
government repeats the expression
OF regret which the minister of for
ign affairs communicated to the
United States government directly 1t
was reported to him that the United
States consulate was violated"
The nationalist government, as
the responsible governing body, does
not countenance the use of any form
Of violence or agitation against for

protection of foreign lives and prop

but to see that effective measures are
