THOMAS EASILY
DEFEATS ZIMM
IN GOLF MATCH

Although the famous Thomas
Zinn golf match was held Sunday,
reports of the outcome were so
garbled, and there were so many
different stories concerning it, that
the Press had to abandon any idea
of recounting it yesterday.
BY sitting out the various stories
of those who witnessed the match,
it develops beyond any doubt that
Tommy" Thomas won the match,
and won handily, in spite of the
fact that he was coached by
"Rockne' Richmond.
So bad was the beating admins
tered to Zinn, that the latter is
wearing a bandage, heavily soaked
in iodine, on his arm. Thomas, on
the other hand, came through un-
scratched, and played superb golf
Efforts of large gallery to "rat'
tle' him, proved unavailing, and he
was at all times, master Of the sit
uation.
Opening the match with splen-
did 295 yard drive from No. l tee,
Thomas walloped Zinn eight up,
seven to play.
Thomas superb form and Wig
orous style were declared by the
large gallery of onlookers who fol
lowed the pair to be responsible for
his victory. And in keeping with
the old adage "let the better man
win,' Thomas is believed to have
proven himself the greater gentle
man. as the contest was strictly a
gentlemen s game. Brilliant drlv'
ing, accurate putting and splendid
control lin the face of rude re-
marks by Penny" Richmond,
Zinn and others) marked Thomas
fine performance.
Acting as referee, Fred Gianola
found himself busy keeping Rich
mond from blocking Thomas pro
gress, "Penny' having taken unto
himself the office of coach, which
assistance was proven to be entire,
ly superfluous by the talented ano
terrible Thomas.
An unusual number of visitors
were noted at the club Sunday
residents of Fl Centro> Holtville
and Brawley being among those
present to witness the classic.
Arrangements to match Thomas
against talent from the coast are
today being considered by Tom
Gill, "Pinkv' Loud, Fred Gianola
and other members of the loea
club.

Stock Exchange officials, who were

possible violation of the rules.
The tense situation created by the
demand for delivery of the stock was
reported to have been eased by
bankers, who are reported to have
obtained permission to loan large
blocks of stock held in strong boxes
for delivery against short sales
The premium of ] per cent offered
for the loan of the stock made it an
added inducement. The market price.

Total sales in the first four hours
ran close to $4,000 shares, as against
an outstanding capitalization of 1885,.
424 shares, the bulk of which is owned
by Rockefeller interests. Total sales
of the issue this week are believed to
have exceeded $50 900 shares
Brokers. who have been accumulat-

This caught the short" interest UNI

order to make deliveries in time. a
number of cash transactions were
necessary, as ordinarily deliveries of

BRITISH OFFER PRAISED.
Colonial Secretary Does Not See How
Canton Could Refuse 1t.

LONDON. January % CR.--Another
indication that the British govern
ment is doing everything possible 10
avoid armed conflict with the Chinese
is seen in the words of the secretary
of the colonial department, L. c. M.
Amery, Following up the announce
ment that the government mad
formulated generous" terms in the
hope of arriving at settlement, he
declared in a speech at kilmarnock
last night that Ton-acceptance or the
terms was uncomfortable, so generous,
considerate and far-reaching were the
notifications the British were ready
to offer. Only the influence Of boil
sheyik agents over the real will of
China, he believed, could account for
their rejection.
It was not the governments init
nation. Mr.. Amery emphasized, to
declare war, to seek conquest or have
a part in the internal struggles OF
China; neither did 1t desire to infiu-
ence the negotiations through the
forces sent to China.
May Yield Concessions.
One report has aroused the deepest
interest. This is that the proposals en-
yisage surrender of British conces-
sions throughout China, including ex-
traterritoriality, and call for new pacts
TO take the place Of those now in
force. In this connection the news
papers speculate on what guarantees
will be asked of China, and how the
government will surmount the diff
Guilty of having to negotiate with ex-
ecutives of whose stability in office
there is no certainty.
