Anyhow, the percentage IL against
Jones. So, of course, il the field,
That leaves only Jones against
both and II is pretty much Of a
stand off, at that. II the young
man Is playing golf next week, the
rest OF the stuff can run hurriediy
for Michael Francis Sweeney.
The trouble with Jones against
the field in a national amateur
championship il that he must beat
at least one man every day. For
that reason, we can be justified in
throwing out OF consideration here
his victories in the American open
championships of 1923 and 1926
and his British open titles Of 1928
and 1927. In each Of these, there
was at laest one man In the field
playing better golf than Jones over
certain intervals of a. hours.
But he didn't have to beat that
particular man that particular day
All he had to do was to head him
at the end of the week, which he
thoroughly did.
In other words, the "a menace

Bobby Jones and George Won

respectively, naturally are the stand.
out candidates in the field Of ITO.
This is true of Jones because he is
a stand-0ut anywhere. 1t il true Of
Won Elm because he In the only man
to beat Jones since 1923, and. con-
versely, Jones il the only man to
gain a decision over him during the
same period.
Won Elm has been finalist in two
of the three years and semi-fina1iSt
on the other occasion. And he Is the
tenacious type that, once in, won't
get out without some high pressure
salesmanship by the party immedi.
ately concerned.
This pair, by the way, constitutes
all that IL left Of the so,called old
guard as a first-class threat against

the Coach Armstrong squad has
much more speed and should give
the border boys plenty of worries.
The Calexico team went down 10
a 24-12 defeat in their first league

to a 6-6 tie. The comparative

"T believe from 10 to 10 mem
bcrs of the Mafalda 5 engine room

Radio reports of other ships at
the scene apparently make it i'm
possible that so many people conld
have persisted.
The Dutch steamer Alheina report
cd carving $50 to Rio de Janeiro,
where she was due at midnight to-
night. The Formosa, reported to
have 353 rescued aboard, was due
at Rio Friday. Other ships have
reported carving smaller numbers.

As the Mosclla dropped anchor in

the ship.
Twenty-four members of the Ma

aspect was one of utter dcsolation,
The Mosclla 5 commander, his eyes

Pair Make Third
Attempt To Wed

A notice of intention to wed was
filed at the county clerks office
this morning by Roly B. Hardwisk,
son of Joe HardNick former Calex-
leo police chief nd Margaret
Welisch of Calexico. Both gave
their ages as II years but it is un-
derstood that the parents have
given their consent to the marriage.
1T is the third effort of the two to
become man and wife.
The new marriage law requires
that three days elapse between the
signing Of intention and the issu-
ance of the license.
The present effort of the pair is
being directed by Probation Officer
Griffin and after the signatures of
the couple were placed on the dotted
line, Hardwick was turned over to
county authorities for detention.
