SAN FRANCISCO, May 21-For a
century and more, San Francisco has
been locked from most intimate contact
with the rest of the world by its bay
barriers, the first of which has just
been blasted by bridge-a bridge
which is stamped by all records as
the longest highway span in the world.
Prediction says this is only the first
of bridges which will bring to the Pa
cific coast metropolis the communica-
tions held most important to it and
the world.
Opening a direct, unferried path
from Mexico to Canada the Carquinez
bridge between Vallejo and Carqui-
nez across the straits of the same
name, not alone improves coast COM
munications, but brings to transcon-
tinental highways their first north and
south communication when the west
is reached.
The influence will be felt wherever
the wandering westward motorist is
existent. 1t unlocks barrier after bar
rier, heretofore associated with the
great Victory and Lincoln highways.
The greatest parking area known
to man has been made ready for the
actual opening of the span on May 2l,

BRITISH RYDER GOLF TEAM ON /
INVASION OF j: 5. CARRIES
Nine PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS.

I LONDON, May 81 CP.-The British
Ryder cup golf team, which invadeS
the United States for the big inter-
national matches at Worcester, Mass,
on June 10 and IL, is composed of the
nine leading professionals Of Great
Britain.
Chosen by a committee composed Of
| the famous triumvirate, Vardon, Braid
and Taylor, the selection met with
unanimous approval. One of the nine
| is a reserve man. The Ryder cup,
donated by Samuel Ryder, Londoner,
symbolizes team supremacy in profess
sional golf, as does the Walker cup for
amateurs.
| Abe Mitchell, who captains the team,
| is one of the best golfers in the world
who never has won big championship.
AS a youth he was WoodSman in the
royal forests, where he developed his
strong back and shoulder muscles and
tremendous driving power.
! Quiet, modest, unaSSuming and one
of the most popular players in the
country, Mitchell is the private "pro"
for Samuel Ryder, donor of the cup!
He is 40 years old and has visited the
United States three times.
The Flying Scotsman" and the only
Scot on the British tean is George
Duncan. He is hard to beat at his
best, but often off his game. He Is
called "googly" putter, which may
mean something good, but often not
SO good.
At so Ted Ray is the father of the
! 80 ovN1
British open championships, the latter
80 years ago, he is a grim, determined
fighter.
Arthur Havers is one of the two
British "pros" who have won the
British "open" since the World war.
Several years ago, after touring
America, his game slunped. Now he
is recovering and much is expected Of
him, for he is only 30.
A happy-g -go-lucky blond giant Of
great promise, Arthur Compston, Is
reported to be somewhat of a high
brow, like Gene Tunney. He likes
Homer, but also likes to clout golf
ball tremendous distances.
Aubrey Boomer has won eight open
championships, including nearly every
thing on the continent, but never the
British nor American classics. He halls
from the Isle of Jersey and is dapper
youth with style and dash,
A steady player George Gadd, al
ways is in the running. Realizing the
usual deficiency at the short game, for
several years he has practiced hours
daily with maShie and putter. This is
his first American visit.
! Fred Robson is a strong match player
who at AZ has suffered much from
ill-health.
Charles Whitcombe is from a family
of Somerset golfers. The father wanted
his sons to be farmers, but couldn't
keep them off the fairways.

YAOUI INDIANS

SAYS GEN, MANZO

NOGALES, May 81 R.-Official re-
ports given out to the press today by
General Francisco r. Manzo, COM
mander of federal forces in the Yaqui
infested zone, state that the rebellious
Indians have scattered into large
bands and are making their way to the
border in an effort to enter the United
States. ~
Reports brought, into this city say
that small Indian bands have been
sighted to the south of Magdalena,
approximately rs miles south of the
border. There are no indications, how
ever, of any untoWard activities at this
point, and the general concensus Of
opinion is that the state of Sonora
is we'll aligned with the Gales govern
ment.
The Sierra De Bacetetes, the century
old stronghold of the YaquiS, con-
spicuous in the past by its repulsion of
federal troops, is noticeably deserted,
according to semi official report
reaching the Herald this morning.
Attacks on this natural impregnable
fortress during the first two months Of
the war, which proved disastrous for
federal forces, were recently halted, the
troops having surrounded the mountain
fasteness in an effort to starve out the
tribe, under the leadership of Chief
Luis Matuz.

Singer Needs Police
Guard While Singing
In Germany Theatre

BERLIN, May 81 R).-The
closing month of Berlin's muSi-
cal season furnished a real
thrill in the form of a police
protected concert by Emmy
Destinn, former prirna donna
of the Metropolitan Opera.
Nine. Destinn was once a
favorite of the Berlin opera
going public. Critics recall that
the performance of aida" back
in 1918, with Emmy Destinn
and Enrico Caruso as starring
guests, was the most noteworthy
in the entire contemporaneouS
history of German opera.
Nine. Destinn lost popularity,
however, with a section of the
German public because of al
legged anti German utteranceS
during the war. When, there
fore, the billboards announced
certain organs of the nationalist
that she was to appear here,
press practically urged that she
be prevented from coming on
the platform.
To guard against any such
attempts, 100 police were de-
tailed to preserve order. Nothing
happened, however, outside of a
few Kisses, which was drowned
by applause.
