MEXICO CITY, September 2o.-A
prohibitionist, base ball fan and friend
of the United States will be President
of Mexico if Emilio Portes Gil, who Is
among those strongly suggested to sue
coed Gales December /, Is selected by
Congress as provisional President.
Portes Gil pronounced "Heel') is a
close friend of President Gales. He is
civilian, lawyer, and since 1925 has
been governor of the State of Yamauli-
pas. He recently became minister of
gobernacion (interior) in Gales cabi-
net.
He is an enemy of gambling. and
does not smoke nor drink intoXicantS.
He supports, and may be expected to
continue if he is provisional President,
Gales policies on all important ques-
tionS. His attitude on the religious
question is: 1.-The laws of the country
must be enforced" That is the way
Gales has defined his own attitude.
Favors Foreign Investments.
Portes Gil favors encouraging for
eign investments in Mexico, but upon
the same terms Gales has prescribed.
which, in effect, are that foreign capital
must come to Mexico not to exploit the
country and people, but to cooperate,
to work harmoniously, to obey Mexi-
can laws and not to expect special
privileges that MeXicans themselves do
not have.
Portes Gil advocates international
good will and friendly Mexican-United
States relations. He has let 1t be
known that he would be willing to go
half way to meet Ambassador Morrow
in amicable adjustment of issues and
in maintenance of friendship between
the two countries. Meeting anybody
half way is one of the best things the
Ambassador does. 1t is one of his
specialties, so it would seem that the
Morrow Gales good will teamwork may
continue if the principals are Morrow
Portes Gill
Portes Gil is stocky man of sturdy
frame and strong face, a student, and
considered unusually well versed in the
law. At the same time he is an out
door man and a devotee of sports. He
arises at o'clock most mornings,
rarely later than 6, and goes walking,
horseback riding or swimming. He

was all he tried to do. Also he stopped
everywhere in the state the open opera
ton of gambling houses.
He increased the number of schools
in Tamualipas and established state
supported industrial school for indi-
gent children, the first in Mexico. 1t
cost 100000 pesos, and has capacity
for 900 children. He founded a state
agricultural school, and had .enacted
legislation intended to improve living
and working conditions of industrial
employees and to promote the govern
ment distribution of land to small
farmers.
Portes Gil was born in Ciudad Vic
toria, capital of Tamaulipas, in 1891.
He is married and has one child. He
was elected to the national Congress
in 1917, and served four terms. In 1920
he was provisional governor of Tamaul-
ipas for six months. In 1924 he was
elected governor for four-year term.

the Texas border, and does everything
he can. officially and personally, to
encourage all outdoor sports.
Closed Rural Saloons.
Although as governor of Tamaulipas
he established partial prohibition in
that state, he does not indulge the
dream of making Mexico dry, because
he is convinced it would be a quixotic
undertaking impossible now of accom-
plishment. What he did in Tamaulipas
was to close all groggeries in villages
and in the country. Saloons continued
open in towns and cities, because public
sentiment in the centers was against
prohibition. Portes Gil is a realiSt.
He accepted the situation. Since all
he could do was to close cantinas, that

TED HART BEATS SWEENEY
 IN TOURNEY SEMl-FlNALS
Former Champion Is Eliminated In Play at Shuttle Meadow Club Yesterday = New Contender Has Been Playing Sensatienal Golf In All Rounds Putting Decides the Issue - Dave and Clarence
 Manning Play on fer Right to Battle for Club Title.

They both passed the test with their drivers. Both laced out 225 yard shots. Sweeney played a long iron to the green and Hart matched the shot. Now it was a test of putting. Both had long down hill puts.
 Sweeney played first and ran five feet beyond the cup. Hart got the line and just missed the cup for a birdie. Sweeney's putt curled away from the cup while Hart sank his to win the hole and match. They played out the last hole for the score: Hart 3s-3s-7s; Sweeney 3s-as-77. Two good golfers had played fine golf. One was on his putting game and the other was off. Aside from that there was not much difference in their play.
 This gives Hart his first oppor- tunity to play in the finals of the club championship and he should give one of the Manning brothers 2 hard battle.
 Dave and Clarence Manning are scheduled to play off their match this afternoon. Whoever wins will provide . worthy opponent for Ted Hart in the 3s hole finals to be played the s0th.
