Montreal. N. C., May 21 R-The 69th general assembly of the Presby- terian church in the United States today had settled two of it's major problems, the position of the church toward divorce and provi- sions for ministers annuity fund. The chief issue left before 1t to- day, was the question of possible union with other Presbyterian bod ies. Charlottesville. Va. has been selected as the 1880 meeting place.

The fund which will be administered by q central executive board. is expected after the first few payments to amount to 33,000,000.

I'M ALONE SINKING CALLED ACT 0F WAR
Adlck c Rm Slip DsaolBcd
 in Caladill noqM

Ottawa, May .l N-sinking of the Canadian schooner I'm Alone by . Uaited states coast guard vessel has been termed an act of war or an act of deliberate piracy on the doer of the house of commons.
 c. H. Cahan. conservative mem. Der for 1t. Lawrence-St. George. in . speech declared that if the coast suard boat sank the schooner under direct instructions from American authorities. the sinking was an act of war. If the sinking was done without direct authority. but on the initiative of the commander of the coast guard ship. 1t was an act of deliberate piracy. he asserted.
 The speaker criticized the Cana dian minister for introducing the discussion of hot pursuit" into cor. respondence relating to the I'm Alone incident. saying that subject should have been left for the Amer. ican authorities to bring up.
 King Would Withhold Discussion
 Premier Mackenzie King. defend- ing the course of his government in the matter of the I'm Alone, said he questioned the propriety of discuss- ing the subject while arbitration was pending.
 He said in answer to criticism of the reference to hot pursuit" in Canadian diplomatic correspondence that the secretary of the United states treasury had made public ref crence to the subject as a justifica- ton for the sinking.
 Cahan declared that in his opinion nothing in the United States prohi- bition laws gave to the coast guard the right to seize foreign ships be- yond the 1:-mile limit and that therefore the sinking of the I'm Alone on the high seas, e15 miles from the coast, was illegal.
 He said that former Secretary of State Charles E. Hughes, who nego- tiated the treaty of 1set with Great Brieain. had written to the British government that the treaty would not justify seizure of British ves- sel beyond the Emile limit.
 R. .. Bennett, conservative lead CT. supported Cahan in his criti- cism of the minister for mentioning "het pursuit." declaring that it was unwise.
 .. ". Jacobs, liberal, of Cartier, said that the owners of the I'm Alone were satished with the status of the case,

By BRIAN BELL (Associated Preas Sports Writer.)

% eS~e "A'
 Now York, June ls N-George Won Elm will be one of the three or four amateur golfers conceded chance to win the open title at Winged Foot.
 The fighting Detroiter. who brought his keen game east after spreading golf destruction through out the country. with Salt Lake and Los Angeles as bases. finished in ! tie with Walter Hagen for fourth place in the 1928 open. just two strokes out of tie for first.
 He is the only amateur who has been able to win from Bobby Jones in the simon pure championship in the last five years. Von Elm won the title in 1926. defeating the At- lantan two and one in q sensational 36 hole final. He was q finalist in 1s2t and semi-finalist in 1925, los- ing to Jones each time. In 1927 and 1928 he was eliminated in early rounds, falling before Harry Legs in the second at Minikahda and losing to Arthur Yates in the first at Brae Burn.
 The big Westerner thinks he has q chance to lead the biz pack home at Winged Foot, for he turned his back on the British amfteur, where certainly he would have been q fa- vorite. to try hls luck with the best the United States can muster on . golf course. Von Elm went to Great Britain to play in the open and amateur. but when the date Of the British election caused the amateur to be postponed from May 27 to June 10 he sailed for homo to get m shape for the open here.
 He had no luck in the British open. After barely qualifying. he had two rounds of 79 and 7S and then went to 84. dropping back to 77 for his final test and 72 hole total of SIS, 26 strokes behind Ha- gen the pro whose score he match- cd stroke for stroke at Olympia

on these well-trapped greens will de- serve the birdies that will be their reward.
 Mike Brady, veteran Winged Foot professional. who has done the course in 67 strokes with the play at each hole starting from the back tees, is too modest to talk about his own golf performances, but there are plenty of his friends at the club who will assure one and all that Mikes record is in no danger. A 67 under the strain incident to cham pionship play would be golnng miracle. There are many who in- sist that 70 Is not likely to be bet tered on 8 single round in the cham- pionship play.
 Some of the professionals who have tried out the courses resistance suggest 296 for the 72 holes of play as a score likely to stand the attack of the 153 who will seek the laurel wreath of the game. Bobby Jones agrees. II think a count of e96 will give any one feeling of security when the scores all are in," the amu- teur champion said.
 At Oakmont in 1927, Tommy Armour and Harry Cooper tied for the lead at 301. Hundreds of strokes were lost on the Pittsburgh course in the traps. not quite so numerous ,, as those of Winged Foot but with u more vicious bite. The traps at Oakmont were filled with heavy saud and furrowed 50 that a good lie iD the hazards was impossible. A hard rain made the conditions even more difficult.
 There are tons upon tons of sand in the Winged Foot traps but 1t is light and furrows can not be made in it. Heel prints will be the worst foes of the sharp shooters.
 Its no trouble to get out of the traps, said Brady. "Getting in then, probably will cost a stroke for even the best can't always pitch out close enough to get down in one putt but that's what they are there for. That sand though is easy to play out of." It is question if some of the play CTS who grow too familiar with traps next week will agree with Mike. Winged Foot is a real golf course, no matter if the man who laid it out did wear seven league boots as he walked from the tees to the greens. up hill and down hill, and through the forests
 It's no course for women and chill dren.

COURSE FOR OPEN IS A TOUGH ONE
X 67 Under the Strain of Cham.
 pionship Play a Miracle

Mamaroneck, N. r., June l9 P9- The west course of the Winged Foot golf club where the open champion ship of the United States will be de- cided next week is affectionately de- scribed by club members as he mans course" The The man" in question must have been a giant. No man of light tonnage was the model for this rugged layout. stretching yard upon yard through the forests of Westchester. Given its final grooming for the blue ribbon event of golf the course will measure more than 1000 yards.
 In it's normal alignment it boasts 6,697 yards, with the tape measure stretched from the front of the big tees to the front of the greens. For the supreme tests the tee markers will be set far bar, the canny pros and star amateurs playing practire rounds daily in preparation for their ba ptism of sand next week ignore the markers, now resting comfort ably near the front, and drive from the extreme rear. a sharp chip shot from the markers.
 Winged Foot is hard but fair. There are scores and scores of traps scattered about it's rolling surface to make the unwary pay for their care lessness, but no bed of sand is un- fair. The perfectly hit shots will not find trouble.
 The greens are as near perfection as putting surfaces can be made. The ball rolls straight and true if properly hit and in the majority Of cases next week those that should 90 in will do just that.
 A good rain will prove helpful. A week before the big chance comes to the games best the fairways are hard and the ball gets more roll than Is possible under normal play ing conditions.
 In tuning up rounds yesterday. Bobby Jones. Johnny Farrell. Mac Smith, Gene Sarazen and Charley Hall, the long driving pro from Birmingham, were getting great dis tance from the tee. A soaking rain will make the game different, just as the wind changes tactics without warning on the course.
 The course has four one shooters. two one each side. Two will call for a spoon from a majority of the play ers-for under the championship conditions. they will be more than 22S yards. The other two will be reached with a No. iron. The 18th. long iron or short wood. has . trap to the right, giving an im- precision that the Sahara desert has changed it's base. The i've par hoies. four of them, also equally divided between the two hines, are back breakers. Two will be more than 800 yards and two in the neighbor- hood of 460.
