Miss Eleanora Sears Hikes From Newport to Boston

! Boston, April o4.-fP>-After step-
 ping 7i miles to this city from New 1 port, R. l.. the last o5 miles through a drenching rain, Miss Eleanora Sears. society woman and hiker, rest
 ed today well content with her rec
 ord Of l6 hours and 50 minutes of actual walking time.
 Shc ran up the steps of her Beacon street home at 9:l3 o'clock last
 night, exactly 17 hours and 15 min
 utes after starting from the New port Casino shortly before sunrise yesterday morning.
 Three male pacers had been pretty much used up by the strenuous pace set by their companion although
 none of them walked steadily, but Miss Sears only visible complaint was limp in her left foot Twice. the party stopped. once at Taunton, the half way mark for rest and the second time in Easton for rest and food.
 Although the hike was unan- nounced the former tennis star was quickly recognized by newspapermen as she strode into Taunton about noon followed by beach wagon and roadster, which carried refresh- InentS and extra walking shoes and stockings.
 In the roadster was George Low mcr of New York who when traffic i bra | n S1nyv SnnI ahead 10 solicit cooperation of po- lice in clearing the way for the walk CTS. In the earlier stages of the jaunt the party held to street or highway but on entering the outskirts of this city they abandoned the public way in favor of sidewalks.
 Miss Sears negotiated the first 19 miles of the journey at an average of four miles an hour, taking mat ters easily in order to conserve strength for the home stretch.
 From Fall River she began to pick ID speed and by the time she had negotiated the 4o miles to Taunton. she was clipping along at 6 miles an hour. For he remainder of the trip, although faced by a number of long grades, she never fell below four mile average.
 IL was not until the very last stretch. from Kenmore Square to her home that the party found itself the object Of concentrated public inter est but along the final stretch numerous groups of curious gather ed to watch. Several local neWSpa- pe.rs had broadcast Miss Sears prog r"ss as she urarcd the city and de- pitv the wind and rain, there was q smal! crowd about her Beacon street place when she arrived.
 Yesterdays walk was the longest but one which Miss Sears has made in the course of many years of hik- ing. Tn 1912 she walked from Bur- llnganle to Dcmonte. Cal. q distance Of 1oS lnllrs in 49 hours and 5u nin- utes.

 Wiz" kremer has pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates out of the Ma tlonal league cellar---a strange rest ing place for champions.
 The big Frenchman blanl1ed the Chicago Cubs with three hits at Wrigley field yesterday while his teammates were running mp six runs. Idle because of cold weather the Boston Braves exchanged their seventh place for the Corsairs' rank ing at the bottom of the heap.
 Krenler held the Cubs in subjec- ton all the way while Pat Malone, rookie strikeout artist, and Art Nehf. one the left handed pride of John McGrav's heart, were pounded for ? safeties including d home run by Glenn Wright with one on base in he first inning Paul Waner, Ma tional league batting champion, shook himself out of a slump with Three singles. Malone had the satis- faction of retiring seven men on strikes.
 Some weird work by Wee Willie Sherdel gave the Cincinnati Reds a :: to decision over the St. Louis Cardinals at Kedland. Willie did two things in the third inning that he's not often guilty of. He walked a man with the bases full and he made wild pitch. These two mis- takes. coupled with a pebble in the infield. gave the Chicagoans all their runs. The Cards punched hits off Adolfo Luque in the second and sixth innings for single runs, They threatened again in the ninth when Edwards was pitching for the Reds hut a double play snuffed out what looked like q promising rally.
 Before the game the Reds re- ceyed the cheering news that Pete Donohue, veteran right lander. had come to terms and been reinstated by Commissioner Landis.
 The cold and rainy day saw the American league successful in stag ing only two of it's four scheduled games.
 The Cleveland Indians dropped 1 their third decision of the season to 1 the Browns at St. LOuis,, 4 to ?. Manushs homer in the first and four singles off Shaute in the fourth gave the Browns all their runs. Sam 1 Gray. former Mackman, registered 1 his third victory in four starts.
 Owen Carroll pitched the Tigers to a five hit. three to nothing victory over the Chicago White Sox at De- | tro'. The former Holy Cross star issued six passes but good support in the pnches prevented the SoX from | converting any of these lapses into | q score. Bill Cissell, expensive Sox | ahortstop. personally accounted for { two of the Tiger runs when he threw wild to the plate in the eighth | inning. George Connally pitched good ball for the Sox. granting only seven hits and flaming bakers half IOzen

"As far as the position of the feet are concerned, it is known that there is as much as eighteen inches difference in the stance of some of the best golfers.
 This Fault Helps Jones
 Speaking of the value of perfect form l remember that Freddy Nc Lcod remarked once after Bobby Jones was beaten badly several years ago that the defeat was not important. He said: There are no flaws in Bobby's game. He has nothing to correct and he can stay away from the game for years and be the same when he returns
 "It has been said that Bobby has a fault--a hitch in his upswing and close scrutiny can detect if. But in his case it brings out my point adapting game to physique. Bobby because of his small stature has 10 get that hitch in his swing. It would ruin the game of a taller player, but it only helps to make his game the thing of power and beauty that it is."

HAGEN IS HEAVIER AFTER HIS LAY0FF
Golf Star Is Anxious to Return
 to Active Competition

New York, April A R-There is more of Walter Hagen on his Brit lsh invasion of 1928 than has been ] present on his other five excursions lin search of the open golf cham- | pionship. Whether the addition is to be an asset or lia ability, ''The Haig' is yet to learn. The actual playing equipment is the same. He still has the bulging bag with spare clubs, extra shoes, several sweaters for use if a cold wind blows up, and one of the big gest of all golf umbrellas as rain in- surance.
 But this year. the confident Hagen , walk will be topped off by double chin and the turf of sandwich will be called on to support much more Hagen poundage than was the case when he won his first British open there in 1922.
 Hagen can not be called fiat and forty for he is only SC years of age but he is more than pleasantly plump after q winter in which golf has been only incidental to other ac- tiyities.
 Anything lacking in his physical condition, however, may be offset by his mental slant. After what amounts to a long vacation from golf he is anxious to return to ser ious competition and will match strokes and enthusiasm with all corners.
 Who knows?" he asked. as he was aueried on his ideas of winning the title as he sailed for England.
 Might Win Again
 T might win again. at that. Golf is Il funny game. When you think you will, you are just as apt not to, and when you feel that you are pret- ty sure to come through they may not be able to find you at all at the finish.
 I'd like to be British champion again and I think I have about as good a chance as anybody else. l haven't played any golf to amount to anything this winter, but that won't make any difference.
 "Why you have played more golf than l have since November" he sai to 6 reporter.
 Not me-" replied the golf writer. shocked into q grammatical lapse by the unexpected charge.
 "Well, if you have played at all you have" insisted Hagen. All l have done has been to knock the ball around little. In California played on even terms with motion picture actors, but when I went up against Charlie Guest and the other pros, and George Won Films, who is good enough to be a pro, l insisted on handicap"
 The idea of Hagen asking or ac- cepting a handicap caused his hear CTS to smile.
 That's right" he said. "Von Elm started me one up when l played with him.

Wurlitzer Organ
To Be Feature
OF New Theater

One of the features of the new
West Coast theater, now nearing
completion, is to be the two manual
II stop Wurlitzer organ, now being
installed by w. II. Brown of Brown
Bros, Los Angeles.
The great instrument will have
nine ranks of pipes, ranging in
length from 16 feet to eight inches,
and can be played either from o
regular console by an organist or
from a separate automatic console,
using music rolls.
The organ has, besides the regular
organ stops, all the orchestral at
tachments and trick stops, such as
traps, bells, etc. Combinations of
stops can be arranged in advance
by the organist and put into play
by pressing piston button, there
by avoiding those pauses usually
necessitated to press down each
stop separately.
Scenery for the new theater is
arriving and being installed. The
asbestos drop, a handsome green
velvet drop and beautiful title
screen are now in place and electri-
clans are at work completing the
connections that will makes these
curtains operable from the projec-
ton booth or from the switch board

Oldest Saloon
In Nation Now

BY VIM. e. NEELY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. % - At
the corner of Bourbon and Bien-
Vile street, in the historic Vieux
Care of New Orleans, stands Amer
ica's oldest saloon, weatherworn
and awaiting conversion into n
cabaret, antique shop or grocery
store.
The two-story brick building is
known as the cold Absinthe
House, and has reached the age of
l4j years.
Surrounded by numerous antique
shops, studios, eabarets and other
small shops such as compose most
of the business efforts of the old
French quarter, the Old Absinthe
House remained true to tradition
until the 18th Amendment shuttered
its doors-so far as the sale of its
renowned product was concerned.
Several times since the advent of
the Volstead amendment the old
place blossomed forth in an effort
to regain its once famous reputa-
tion, but each time it has failed dis
mally. The last effort resulted in
an unannounced call of squadron
of Uncle Sans dry sleuths and the
place soon was made the victim of
a paddock. 1t recently was released
after a years subservienee to the
paddock but since then no one has
been found to reopen the doors of
the ancient landmark.
The old building has remained in

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 22.-Stills
which are the source Of illicit liquor
are harder than ever to find and
to confiscate under the new search
warrant limitations fixed by the
Wisconsin Supreme Court, according
to reports of prohibition deputies
working Throughout. the state.
Formerly the officers were able
to secure warrants con information

now necessary to have the sworn
statement of someone who has seen

being manufactured at specified
place was sufficient foundation for
issuance Of search warrant cover

Prohibition enforcement Officers
have found that these stills usually
are closely guarded. The liquor made

it even more difficult to obtain evil

Citrus Growers
To Plant Vetch

Fifteen citrus growers throughout
the county have agreed to cooper
ate. with the agricultural extension
service this year in planting cal
carata vctch as a winter grown
manure and seed crop.
l.. G. Goar of the experimental
farm at Meloland has been working
that it produces 10 to II tons green
fertilizer per acre, or when not
plowed under it yields around 1000
pounds of seed to the acre.
This vetch is similar to the pur-
pie vetch grown on the citrus orch
ards of the coast region. Calcarata,
however, grows somewhat better in
the winter here and its seed yield
is larger, due to the fact that pur-
pie vetch loses much of its seed by
SCATTERING during harvesting. This
being the ease, purple vetch seed
usually brings a good price.
If it is found that calcarata
grows well in other regions, I'm
pcrial valley growers may find a
new source of profit in the produc-
tion of cheap vetch seed.
Shipments of the seed produced at
Mcloland have been sent to River
side and Orange counties for ex-
perimental planting this fall.
The local co-opcrators are plant
ing one or two acres each of the
new vptch and some valuable data
will be gathered from these expert
mcnts by the agricultural extension
