MISS BROWNE IS 7
 CONSIDERED PRO
Must Make Formal Application
 for Reinstatement

New York, Feb. R1-lf Mary K. Browne has, as she says. adopted .
 watchful waiting" policy 50 far as her reinstatement as golf amateur is concerned she will be obliged to maintain it for the full length of the usual thrse-year good conduct period prescribed by the United States Golf Associs ton.
 Miss Browne has been quoted as saying she won't ask for reinstate- ment but the U. $. G. A. made it clear today that no action Is possible on her atatus without formal ap- plication to lift the ban imposed last April after the former tennis cham pion toured the country with su- a.anne Lenglen and the rest Of the c. c. Pyle professional troupe of tennis players.
 This Is how Miss Browne set forth her case recently in the Cleveland News:
 ''They said was ineligible and it's up to them to make me eligible. I never have been professional in golf and no matter what they said I never considered myself as a golf professional Of course. I'm anxious to be allowed to play in all these tournaments. but it's up to them. Under the circumstances I do not care to go begging before the U. S. G. A. I have seen reports that had asked or would ask for rein- statement but 10 not intend to ask for it."
 The association's point of view. as expressed by H. H. Ramsay new vice president and chairman last year of the committee that ruled Miss Browne out of amateur colnpe- tition. is this:
 Cannot consider the status of Miss Browne or of any other eligible player without actual application for reinstatement Obviously the U. S. G. A. cannot go about the country calling the roll of ineligible players. asking whether they wish to be con- sidered for reinstatement, especially If the usual three-year good conduct period has not yet elapsed. If any exception to this rule were to be made in Miss Browne's case. and l do not know that 1t would. 1t could rot be considered without an appli- cation from her. We have no con- troversy with Mss Browne. We rave had no word from her since our ac- ton last spring. I went over the case thoroughly with her then and I think she understands our posi- tion."
 So it would seem that unless Our Mary" changes her expressed posi- ton there Is no prospect of her re- turning to the amateur golf fold this year or. possibly, until 1880.
 The prospective debut of Dr. Otto Peltzer in the Millrose track and field carnival tomorrow night will be in sharp contrast with the first American ind DOT appearance of that other famous Europeah runner. Paavo Nurmi. in 1925.
 The German stars schedule calls fer an S00-meter run against com petition that is not likely to give

him more than . good warmup. Paavo not only tackled two races on the same night at distances of one- mile and 5000 meters but he mes the best this country could produce and won both events in record breaking times.
 The picture of Nurmi's finish In the mile on that occasion three years ago in the old Madison Square Garden is one ot tho most vivid in track and field history. Joie Ray. Lloyd Hahn Jimmy Connolly and other stars all were out to "get" tho Flying Finn.
 They aiternated In setting | kill- ing pace. designed to upset Nurni's customary clock-lilse performance. but this strategy failed. Instead of killing off the Finn. the Americans killed of themselves. When the final lap came. Nurmi ran circles around his opponents and finished. as the turfmen say. going away. Ray open mouthed and Easping. staggered home in second place.
 Peltzer has not had aA much time as Nurmi to equip himself for in- door racing, but the German star, by running a half-mile last week in Los Angeles in 1855 l-l0 demon- strated he has kept himself in good form.
 Jole Ray. contemplating | cons- back this year. apparently hopes to shake of the Olympic jinx that has reset the little Chicago veteran. Joie was a member of the 1920 and 19:4 Olympic teams but injuries or illness kept him each time from showing anything like his form at home. The last Olympic trip was sandwiched between two of Rays greatest seasons, 1923, when he swept everything before him at home, and 1925, when he was spur red on by Nurmi's invasion to run d. mile in 4:1:. the fastest any American has ever turned in.

 That statement coming from a player who was member of team that just was forced to swallow the bitter pill. was not only a compli- ment to the playing of the New Britt ain team. but was fine example of good sportsmanship on the part of the colored star.
 The Atlas Five of New Haven plays the Hartford Yankees in Hart ford tonight in . state league game. At the same time. New Britain will be meeting Bristol in Bristol in an- other circuit tilt.
 New Britain will be | good bet to defeat the Atlas in the next meeting of the teams if the local squad plays in the same form it showed last Sat- urday night against the colored stars.

WASHINGTON-M stories have
been written about the passing OF the
ohio Gang" which President Harding
brought with him to Washington. But
the story of the gang" Harding put
in his cabinet has been almost as
tragic.
OF the ten members OF Harding s
original cabinet, but three-Mellon,
Of the treasury; Hoover, OF the COM
merce department. and Davis, of the
labor experimentation
OF the ten, only four remain un-
affected by scandals of the brief
Harding administration. These are
Hoover, Davis, former Secretary OF
State Hughes and former Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace.
Secretary of the Interior Fall, Sec
retary of the Navy DENLY and Attor-
ney General Daugherty were driven

Postmaster General Hays has ad-

POTTER PALMER
ESTATE LEASES
CLAIMS AT NINA
Northwestern Mining Inter
ests to Resume Work at
Properties at Once

Ore shipments will be started from
the Nina district in Mexico within
the next 80 days and the mine which
was active for some time and was
profitable producer in the silver
and lead ores will be once more in
active operation. This is what is
more generally known as the Potter
Palmer estate properties and has just
been taken over under a lease and
bond agreement by interests in the
northwestern portions of the United
States. Details for the resumption
of operation were completed last
week and employment will be started
quite soon.
While it is not known exactly what
number OF men will be employed it
is forecasted that there will be from
40 to SO employed from the start and
more as the development may waT-
rant. 1t is said to be the announced
intention OF the lessee to make the
new effort an aggressive one + f4m the
opening day.
This mine is located about 20 miles
north of Tonichi and while not in
the immediate area Of Douglas, it is
an operation which the business men
Of Douglas express keen satisfaction
on seeing started. The resumption
there, it is pointed out by local
man who knows, the conditions gen.
orally through Mexico, is indicative OF
a faith in the present situation
in Mexico as to mining and may be
accepted as promise that other
mining activities will be started at
various points in due course. That
view is also voiced in a recent issue
OF Boston financial paper in these
paragraphs:
Mexico has passed through her
period of trial and has emerged
stronger than ever and better quail
fled to create new wealth fol- herself
and for her developers.
'"This country is on the road to
the greatest expansion and prosperity
any nation ever had, based on every
indication at hand regarding her
government, her internal condition,
her new wealth OF untapped mineral
treasure and the all important fact
that Uncle Sam is advising her in
her problems"

THE WALRUs

The Walrus, up in the Arctic sea
Alternately lollS and daShes,
His eyes are as kind as eyes can be
But he wears long fierce moustaches
He is quite at home in the freezing
foam
And often in rowing herds will roam
From Baffin's Bay to the shores OF
Nome
Which the floe-laden ocean lasnes
The Walrus, when he is near the
shore
His sonorous below nushes
For he knows the natives will hunt
him for
The ivory in his tushes.
He will sniff the air with exceeding
care
If an Eskimo is around somewhere,
And there never will be a Walrus
there
When over the snow he mushes.
The Walrus, though his sinuous hide
Has the look OF. sheet of rubber,
Is always extremely full inside
OF delicate food called blubber.
ALlu ue ueVer COHCealS LLe Iear ne
feels
When the Eskimo forth in his kyak
steals
For he has a distaste for supplying
meals
To fur clad biped lubber.
The WalruS' life is not so good
When we get right down to cases
And you and Though we knew we
could,
Would not want to trade him
places.
But the whole world shares in joys
and cares
And deep delights and profound
deSpairS,
There is sun and storm in the life

OF all the created races.
