Creek
Little Pinky Burton Is one Of
the most efficient caddies in this
section of the land but few of the
many who have noted him toting
the bag of Harry Pitt in tournament
after tournament suspected the
Pinky shot an 50 and a 70 trying
to qualify for the national public
links tournament and it is said
ne wasn't on his game, at that.
J. Monro Hunter and George Dir
fenbaugh are coming more and more
in demand as exhibition players.
Hunter, with his prodigious bulk and
proportionate seeking ability, and Diff
fenbaugh with his remarkably long
hitting despite a shortage of heft'
make a picturesque golf act. They
invariably win, too.
Today the Indian Spring pair
will play Freddie Mcleod, Column
bias sterling little pro. and Wal.
ter Hall, the Rock Creek pro,
on the Rock Creek course. Sun.
dav Hunter and Diffenbaugh will
meet Glenn Spencer and Carl Nc
Masters in Baltimore. This
match will be a side attraction
when Indian Spring and Rolling
Road engage in = 12'man team
battle.
Archie Compston, conqueror OF
Walter Hagen and Aubrey Boomer,
another famous British pro, may be
seen here this summer. Indian
Spring contemplates a match IN
which the visiting stars would meet
Hunter and Diffenbaugh. Compston
and Boomer have challenged the In
dian Spring pair. However, there
a question Of expenses worthy OF lots
of consideration. Indian Spring
would go in the hole heavily IT I'M
favorable weather killed the gate.
Noted golfers command fat fees
for exhibitions. G o m p II ana
Boomer receive about $500 for show.
Johnny Farrell by himself can get
even more.

 The prohibition question was threshed out at the California polls as recently as 1926. In that year move was made to re- peal the Wright state prohibition enforcement law. but the law was sustained by 56S,7S5 votes to 502.- z9S.

 Senator Johnson has only one opponent in the primary. Charles H. Randall, former congressman and a prohibition leader, who is both a republican and prohibition party candidate.

Ore rivaling in richness that contained in the spectacular ore bodies mined in earlier years has been located in the south work ings on the third level of the Pre- mier mine, according to reliable reports reaching town during :e- cent days.
 The ore is said to be of the ruby silver type and shows pro fuse quantities of the ruddy metal. Unofficial reports indicate that the deposit, which is of large ex- tent, carries very high average values. Assays running well over $2000 per ton are said to have been obtained.
 Coming on the heels of the re- port that the mine is on the de- cline. with only three years or so of activity In prospect. the phe- nominal discovery discloses most conyincingly that the true poten- tialities of the famous property are still far from being fully de- termined.- (Hyder Herald).
