Secretary Jardine, of the Agriculture department, has approved an amendment to the Alaska game law regulations abrogating the open season on greater and lesser yellowlegs thereby making it illegal to take or kill such, birds at any time during the year, after July 2, 1927.
 The change is made in order to comply with certain regu- lations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which provides for a closed season on yellow legs for two years through out the United States and Alaska.
 Additional changes in the present game regulations are also indicated by the ali nouncement that regulations 12 and 13, respecting the open seasons and game limits orr certain game birds in Alaska, will be revoked.

SYNDICATE PLANNED
 FOR LEARNER GROUP

The High Grade group, own. ed by w. R. Harner and Horn. CT Ficklin, and situated on the south fork of the Marmot al the head of Magee Pass, will be taken over shortly and op- erated by a syndicate, the plans for which are now in process of formation, accord ing to a statement by MT. Han ner.
 The discovery of free gold in two heavily oxidized veins on this property created some thing of a sensation last year. Samples taken at that time over a width of one foot along the hanging wall of what is known as the West Vein, yield ed as high as $280 per ton in gold, silver and lead. General sampling of the vein indicated 9 general average of $60 per ton. In point of size the Easl Vein is the more important of the two. This vein dips at an angle of 40 degrees, has an eastern trend, and an average width of 612 feet for a dis tance of 400 feet, but is trace able some 800 or 900 feet farther. The vein matter is an opaque quartz and the mln- 2raliZation consists of pyrite, ;halcopyrite and .galena. The walls of the vein are free. The outcrops are strongly oxidized and banning of this materlaI yields a good prospect in gold. The West vein averages from 5 to 8 feet in width and out crops over a distance of 120U feet. The dip is northeasterly It an angle of 60 degrees anu coth walls are free. Like the East vein, there is much OK idization, persisting to depths )f five or more feet, as shown oy open cuts. Where unaltel. ed, the vein is heavily mineral zed with pyrite, galena, char :opyrite and zine. Two we'll known engineers who have ex- amined the property consider that it has considerable merit and it's exploitation is fully justified.
 Provisions for a small force are now at the camp and a crew is to start work immedi- ately on an extension of a short cross cut tunnel run late last year. This is now in 50 feet and has about 25 feet to go to cut the lead at a depth of 85 feet, which should be below the field of oxidization.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The loyalty
to their work of the keepers of the
lights in the United States Light

the case of the Mississippi flood.
Reports to the bureau show that
post lights along the lower river

Their work has been commented

With the river out of its banks,

and will take over the game for
the Sundowners. Austin, Miller and
Cary were the only available TWi-
light stars who could play.

BOBBY JONES wins NATIONAL
AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
BY DEFEATING CHICK EVANS

away so no one, not even the loser,
seemed to mind when Chick suddenly
walked over to Bobby and congratu-
lated him.
The gallery for few minutes did
not know what to make of this as
Evans had not putted, but he had
used up AZ stroke by inadvertently
moving his ball as he took his stance.
The game Evans looked good in de-
feat for he made a golf match of it
in the afternoon, after he had gone to
luncheon six holes behind. He knew
that no man could come from six
holes back to win from Bobby Jones,
but he kept trying and at one time in
the afternoon round had cut the lead
to four holes, getting two back in the
first five holes of the afternoon.
However, after the oath was halved,
Bobby won the next three and started
out on the last nine with his greatest
advantage of the match. The 28th
was halved with poor fives when both
players needed three puts and the
end came at the next hole.
In the afternoon, Bobby lost his first
hole when he slipped over par at the
21St, and although he was over par
at the 23rd he could not have won
with par as Chick had birdie 8.
BY winning today, Bobby equalled
the record Of the late Walter j. Travis,
who won the championship in 1900,
1901 and 1908. The comparison is not
quite the same, for Bobby was runner
up last year, making his record three
championships and once runner-up
over a period of four years. The
champion has another mark to shoot
at in|the amateur, however, for Jerome
ID. TraverS won the title four times,
1907, 1908 1912 and 1913 "a
Jones, great golf To-Day routed the
well-trapped and rough bordered
Minikahda course That venerable
Nemesis of all but the best golf play
ers, Old Man Par, had been flat on
his back for several days under the
terrible punishment meted out to him
by the fast flying Bobby Today the
twice-croWned national open, national
amateur, and British open champion
jumped on him with both feet and
left him quite groggy, if not completely
knocked out.
The loser, who has been runner-up
three times, twice won the titles, paid
the winner high tribute when Presi-
dent William c. Fownes, Jr., of the
United States Golf association, stand
ing in the rain, presented the medals
to Bobby, the champion, and Chick,
the runner-up, and gave Bobby the
championship cup to take to the At
lanta athletic club with him.
II did not mind losing" Evans said.
1T was worth the defeat to see such
an exhibition of marvellous golf.'
The champion in his brief speech
acknowledging the presentation, said
nothing about his golf game, but ad-
initted he Liked the Minakahda course.
A survey of the scores he made on it
would suggest that he should want to
take it home with him.

DEMPSEY LOOKS
BETTER AT end
W EEK TRAINING

CHICAGO, Aug. 81 (P)--Jack Demp-
sey concluded his first week of train
ing at Lincoln fields today with an
other session of the gloves, the third
he has engaged in since opening his
camp at the racing plant last Mon
day.
Working under the watchful eye of
Leo P. Flynn, the old fox of fistlana,
Dempsey faced three Sparrlng part
ners for round each and was hitting
with precision and power. He looked
better than on any previous WORKOUT
and finished fresh and strong.
A crowd of about 400 saw the for
mer worlds champion exercise in pub
lie for the first time. The decision
to close the gates to the public and
work before newspapermen only was
reversed with the result that the public
was admitted at an admission price
of ITO.
Manager Flynn said that Dempsey
would box again tomorrow with the
prospects that crowd of 1000 or more
would make the 35-mile trip to see
dempsey wallop his sparring mates.
K. o. Christner, Pete Wistort, new
heavyweight, from South Chicago,
and Bennie Kruger, the German
heavyweight, traded socks with Demp-
Sey today, and each was belted about
during the three rounds the former
title holder kept pegging away With
the big heavy gloves. Christner put up
such feeble resistance against Demp-
sey that he was released from the staff
of sparring mates. He was SO fright
ened by Dempsey's lscoWl and vicious
punches that he was no longer any
value for boxing.
Wistort, a protege of Johnny Coulon,
one time worlds bantamWeight cham
pion, did fairly well against Dempsey.
Manager Flynn thinks he will turn
out to be valuable camp mate.
AArueger was on the receiving end
as usual, but the German warrior is
big and healthy and did not seem to
mind his leathering.
In addition to the boxing, Dempsey
reeled off three miles on the road in
the morning and whaled away at the
heavy bag for two rounds. In the
afternoon he worked round with the
pulleys, a round with the light bag,
three minutes of wrestling and another
session at abdominal exercises besides
the work with the gloves. 1t was a
rather strenuous day so far ahead of
the fight, but Dempsey apparently is
eager to work and Flynn did not at
tempt to restrain him.

COUNTRY CLUB ISPUTTING GOLF
COURSE IN FIRST CLASS shape
and ARRANGING FOR WINTER PLAY

Fans of the royal and ancient game
will be interested to know that prep
arations are now under way to put
the local golf course in first class
plaving condition at an early date.
Due to the heavy rains this year it has
been impossible to keep the course in
shane during the past few months, so
all of the efforts have been directed
towards working over the tees ana
general repairs New foundations have
been put in practically all OF the tees
and these will be ready Tor play py
the time the course is in shape.
The committee in charge Tor TINS
year are as follows: Carol L. Stone,
chairman; L. L. McDaniels, secretary;
R. L. Hoyal, team captain; A. H. Key,
handicap master; Geo. R. Drysdale and
c. G.. Weaver. The committee already
have met twice this season and pre-
liminary arrangements are under way
for the coming events of the season.
One of the many improvements that
will meet the players approval is that
IL new tee boxes have been ordered
to replace the old ones that have been
in service for the past several years.
The contract was giNen to the Douglas
Lumber company after a sample had
been prepared by them, and in addi-
ton to being new, there are several
other features in them which are a
marked improvement over the old
boxes.
Levy Brothers Dry Goods company
donated several barrels of refuse crude
oil to the golf committee which viii
be used IN mixing with sand for the
greens. Arrangements are under way
for several new seats to be placed be-
hind some of the tees Another item
of Importance that is under the COM
mittee's consideration is the caddy
problem, and an arrangement is being
worked out whereby the players will
be assured of better trained caddles.
1t has been suggested that an examin-
alton be prepared which caduy must
pass successfully before being per-
mitted to offer his service on the
course.
Efforts will be made to have the
course in playing condition as near the
middle of September as possible which
will give the players chance to linn
Der up the old driver, steady the mid
iron, sharpen up the niblick and get
the putter working good before the
actual events begin which will be
early in October.
In addition to the usual annual
matches and tournaments there has
been new and noval mixed handi-
cap trophy tournament arranged for,
the details and name of which will be
announced by the committee at an
early date. This trODhy tournament
has been made possible through the
courtesy and generosity of one of
Douglas leading enterprises whose
identity will be revealed through the
name of the trophy.
Many new players have signified
their intentions of coming into the
game this year, in both the mems and
the ladies tournaments, and everyone
is looking forward to very interesting
season.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Aug. 81 R)
Bobby Jones today won the national
amateur golf championship for the
third time in four years, bowling over
the last obstacle in his path, the vet
eran, Chick Evans, 8 up and Z to go.
To defeat the Chicago player, the
Albanian, who recently won the British
open championship with record
breaking 285, dubbed the Minikahda
course into complete submission, scor-
ing a 67, five under par in the morn
ing round, when he had Evans down
and stepping out in the afternoon,
when he seemed for time to have
lost his fine touch, in SO, one over
par, for the first nine.
Going to the 29th green seven down
and eight to play, Chick had a short
putt for half which would have left
the match dormie. 1t was raining and
the twelfth hole was nearly 400 yards
