SHUTTLE MEADOW
 VS. SEQU|N TODAY
Rival Club Teams Meet in Tour.
 nament on Local Course

Two clans of golting rivals will meet this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Shuttle Meadow club in a six-man team match when the Se- quiun team clashes with that of the Shuttle Meadow club. The Maple Hill crew is anxious to come out on top this year as it did last and for that reason there has been plen- ty of practice on the fairways and greens during the past week.
 Captain w. J.. Sweeney of the Shuttle Meadow sextet has already declared that his men are all from Missouri and they will have to be shown that they are beaten before they will admit defeat. This will be one of the features of the golf sea- son. this battle of golting rivals.
 Tomorrow and Sunday at the Shuttle Meadow course, the biggest event of the season excepting the club championship will be started when the qualifying round of the Presidents Cup will be played. Every member, in the club who is able to swing driver will be en- tered in this competition and Presi- dent II. S. Humphrey has already announced that the prize this year will exceed any ever offered before.
 Most of the men have been getting their clubs shined up during the week and every spare minute has been spent on the course practicing driving. approaching or putting so that there will be no slip-up tomor- row or on the Sabbath. Crowds of twilight pill chasers' have been trudging religiously over the grassy slopes of the local course all week long and although the competition is always keen, better golf will be in order this season.
 Last year Ralph Howe won the tournament with Alan Sweetser run ner-up. These two will have diff cult time in coming in in the same order in this years event because w. J. Sweeney, Ernest Baldwin. Bill Booth. Ted Hart, Clarence Manning and many other are out to get that cup at all costs and each has gone into strict training with careful diet ing during the past few days. It will sure be a merry old battle,
 The fairways will be found to be excellent but Val Flood has set his mon to working on the greens. Dur ing the week several caustic com plaints have reached the popular pro that the greens are not quite true and although Val believes that these complainants simply didn't have their eyes with them, he has promised to have. the greens rolled without delay.
 Several special tournaments were played on the course during the week and the fact that the course has been crowded at all hours seems to show that the members are out 10 make up for the time lost during the rainy spell.

Gene Tunncy May Defend Heavy weight Grown Against Jack Shar- key In "Windy City"

New Lork. June 3 Rl-The possi- bility of a Gene Tunney-Jack Shar- key championship bout in Chicago developed here today. Tex Rickard is considering the advisability of us- ing Soldiers field, with its seating capacity of 150.0O0 for the Septem- Der title bout. provided Jack Demp- sey decided not to return to the ring. He holds both Tunney and Sharkey under contract. and may visit Chicago to talk over matters with a group of sportsmen who are anxious to have the champion defend his title in that city.
 Rickard professed ignorance re- garding a definite decision by Demp- sey but said he expected to hear from the former champion soon.
 The New York Times says that Johnny Buckley, Sharkey's manager. has been in communication with friends in California and that he has been told that Dempsey would not take up the game again. Buckley was quoted as saying that if Demp- sey changed his mind. Sharkey would be willing to meet him in the elimination bout for a chance at Tunney.

 To the expectations, Friday. May 13 might be regarded as a hoodoo, but not to Pitcher Tony Kaufman and the Chicago Cubs.
 For it was on that date Of the present year that Kaufman hit a home run against the Philadelphia Nationals in that city. Making "a home run on any date is an event in Tony's life. He made only one in 1926. which is about his average.
 However, Tony Kaufmann's cir cult drive of May 13, 1927. equaled major league record for a club making one or more home runs every day.
 During the season of 1922, the St. Louis Browns on a batting ram- page, made 20 home runs in II con- secutive games. When Kaufman

Bridgeman and Viscount Cecil have left
for Geneva to participate in a resump-
tion 0f the naval conference there. Be-
fore entraining, Mr.. Bridgeman said we
shall finish our work this time one way

long discussions with the Cabinet, and
think the position is clear. The Govern
ment thoroughly discussed the whole sit.

and Britain remains fundamentally an

good hope for a settlement, as when we
came back. Lord Cecil remarked, II
am always hopeful, but I regard the
position as unquestionably critical.
Paris, July 28th-Dropping twenty

Emile Van Laere, is credited. An aero

mont Sur Disc in the forest Of Car
nellie began to fall from a height of
1000 metres, it is said. The parachute
did not open until he was a thousand
feet from the ground. Although near
ly stunned by his rapid descent, Van
Laere was uninjured.

war, right as it was on our part, was
still a terrible affair, but the peace of
the world is after all the attainment
which every man of religious and spiri-
tual faith desires to see accomplished.
We believe that you in America and we
in this country are charged with a great
mission, a very heavy mission. We can
do much. 1t is difficult to e~xaggerate
what we may achieve. If, God forbid,
anything should happen to make our
