NEW YORK, July 20.-(P)-If Lee
Diegel can successfully beat back
the formidable opposition he will en-
counter in defense Of his Canadian
open golf championship, the River
mead cup, emblematic Of the title,
will take the longest journey of its
Is year old life. The title will be de-
cided at Montreal, July 1927.
Diegel, the only golfer to win the
Canadian title three times, nov is
playing from Aqua Caliente, Mex
ioc, and although the Canadian cup
has been won by golfers from the
United States for the last 10 years,
it has never before been threatened
by such a sudden transfer from
north to south.
The reigning monarch won the
title for the third time at Toronto
last year with a score of 262. He
scored 70 and 68 on the final day
to keep out in front. Walter Hagen,
Archie Compston and Macdonald
Smith tied for second place, two
strokes behind. Smith finished with
a around in 81.
The best pros in the United States
and a s%prinkling of crack amateurs
will battle Leo's right to repeat
Among the former champions ex-
pected to seek the title again are
Tommy Armour, Macdonald Smith
and AL Watrous. This is one Of the
few titles Hagen has not been able
to capture and he will shoot at 1t
again as will his partner, Horton
Smith, the lean Missourian. Among
the amateurs expected to make a
determined bid will be George Won

The play of Earnest Fernandez, de-
Tending champion, featured Satur-
day play in the Elks' billiard tourn-
ament. Fernandez won five straight
contests without a loss and went
into third place In the standings
with a mark of .318. The victims
of Fernandez excellent cue work
were Box, Ernst, Nelson, Stein and
Corey.
Bell, at the top of the procession
with a perfect mark of 1000 after
16 games, contented himself with
one victory. Reid, 70-year-old bill
lard wiseacre, logged along at an
easy pace, dispoSing of two oppon-
ents. He is now in second place
with only n defeat out of II
contests. Reds play has been the
upset Of the tournament. He was
paced in the second handicap class
ification and for his work it now
appears that he should have been
in the first.
The chief feather in his cap SO
far was his defeat of Fernandez at
straight billiards. In the handicap
contest, Fernandez was forced to
give him 25 points. Reid is leading
in the handicap tournament.
Nelson hit a snag Saturday, los

LECTURE ON SOUTH AFRICA
At FIRST CHURCH CHAPEL
Rev. HarwOOd b. Catlin to Explain
Conditions As Shown In Mo-
ton Pictures

! From kraal to Mine and Mine ia
kraaT is the title of a four reel
motion picture which will be shown
on Tuesday evening at 7:15 in the
chapel, Of the First Congregational
church. The picture was prepared by
Ray L. Phillips under the general
! direction of the late DR.. Frederick
b. Bridgeman Of Johannesburg,
South Africa. The picture tells the
story of the joining of social. busin-
. ess, and governmental agencies in
ministering to the tens of thousands
! of African natives who go to johann
inesburg to work in the gold mines.
Johannesburg is city of more
than a million people. half of whom
are blacks and half whites. 1t is the
center of the greatest gold produc-
ing area in the world. 1t attracts
natives from all parts of South At
RIGA. While the natives are at work
in the gold mines they are subjected
to the temptations which accompany
the sudden impact of western civil
liZation upon raw heathenism. They
|are peculiarly responsive to the
hand of friendship reaching out to
them in the form of social service,
it is said. When they leave the
mines and return to their native
kraals they are listened to with in
tense eagerness as they tell of the
things they have seen and heard
and SO they carry message as they
return to their native places all over
South Africa.
In connection with the showing Of
the picture Rev. Harwood B. Catlin
of Johannesburg will speak on the
conditions shown in the picture. Mr..
Catlin is a native of London. After
graduation from New Hampshire
State College and Hartford Theolog-
ical Seminary, he went to South
Africa in 1920. In 1924 he was call
ed to Johannesburg to take over
temporarily the extensive social and
religious work carried on by Dr..
Bridgeman.
The meeting is open to the public
without admission fec. Special num-
bers have been arranged as part
of the evenings program, which
follows the cafeteria supper which
is being held under the auspices of
the Young Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the church.
