Republican national committee, and Ar
thur M Hyde, Secretary OF Agriculture,
pleaded for law enforcement and re-
spect for the Constitution, laying spe-
cial emphasis on the eighteenth amend
ment.
Backs Prohibition.
DR.. Work declared in his address that
prohibition is law to be enforced be-
cause it is deemed essential to economic
prosperity and good morals by our silent
citizens, who stabilize our scheme OF
government and control U.S."
"Of the issues of the last campaign
only those of protection, prosperity and
prohibition seem likely to appear" DR..
Work said. Protection because 1t Is
fundamental to prosperity, prosperity
because it is essential to human prog
resS; prohibition because 1t Is law to
be enforced"
DR.. Work was seconded on his stand
on the liquor question by Secretary
Hyde.
Every man has a right to an opinion
as to the desirability of the eighteenth
amendment" the Secretary asserted.
Equally he has an undoubted right to
agitate for its repeal. But no man has
a right to violate the Constitution nor
to advocate its violation. The validity
of constitutional government is the
issue. The amendment is now, by all
the rules Of law, sacredly obligatory
upon ALL"

Senator Vandenberg reiterated the
claims of Michigan people to the birth
place of RepublicaniSm. 1.-THE birthday
party belongs in Jackson and nowhere
else" he declared. The Senator in
dorsed two major political parties as
virile factors in the Nations life.
The birthday party" came as q eli
max to JackSon's centennial celebration,
which had been the occasion for a round
of pageants, parades and reunions dur
ing the past eight days. The celebra-
ton today was featured by pilgrimage
through the business section of the city
to the rock pile which marks the site of
the initial Republican gathering. A
parade later in the day contained nu-
merous floats depicting incidents in the
founding of the party. Among the floats
was one on which baby elephant, the
symbol Of the party, vas carried.

CONCEDE NET TITLE

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July 30.-Ap-
parently nothing but a steady succession
of thunderstorms can keep the Sea-
bright invitation tennis championship
in womens singles from going to Cali
fornia again this year.
OF the Is girls still in the running
for tie title today, are from Califor-
mia. Heading the list Is Miss Helen
Jacobs Of Berkeley, who is bowling the
Helen Wills in the entire world and is
rated as an overwhelming favorite to
retain her hold on the coveted Seabright
bowl.
In the unexpected event that Miss
Jacobs should lose, California still could
count upon Miss Marjorie Gladman Of
Santa Monica, Miss Carolyn Babcock
Of Los Angeles, Miss Josephine Cruick-
shank Of Santa Ana, Miss Edith Cross
Of San Francisco, Mrs. L. A. Harper,

Of Palo Alto.

MIA were bothered considerably more by

To get such distance with two wooden

difacult places on those enormous put
ting green's and three puts were not
uncommon.
It must have seemed like old home
week to Sidney G. Moore, assistant pro-
fessionals at Congressional. For Sidney
Is fresh from England, only IS months
from the old country and Annapolis
Roads has been laid out to simulate
the famed holes Of several British
courses. Sidney, whose compact swing
won't permit much deviation from the
straight line, shot an individual score
Of 10, to shatter the best previous mark
for the course by four strokes. His card
was exactly par for the layout, which
Is IS each way, and his golf was bril-
liant.
Moore was helped on two holes by his
amateur partner-M. Parker Nolan

aided him on the short fourth, and

England, and located with his brother
at Dunwoodie. He has been at Con-

himself as one OF the best professionals

Although the fairways were baked
hard and the ball could be driven as
founding distances, the course baked
most Of the professionals. Outside of
Moore's score, there were no cards
turned in Of unusual significance. The
boys found that the traps were no
child's play and that the pitch shots
required unusual accuracy.
Following the tournament the profess

I'm spite Of the fact that France has
again retained its hold on the
Davis Cup. followers of tennis in
4 this country are more than pleased
at the showing Of the younger
players in the challenge round at Paris
last week end.
George Lott had not enough expert
successfully against those Of Henri
Cochet, but Lott showed championship
quality In his game. forcing his older
and more brilliant opponent to four
hard-fought sets. It Is only question
of time before he will be able to con-
quer his French rivals.
John Van Ryn ana Wilmer Allison
have emerged from the challenge
round as the greatest doubles combina-
the fact that they have been playing
together only two years, it Is not at all
impossible that they will some day take
their place among the immortal dou-
bles teams of tennis history.
Personally, felt that the Davis Cup
committee, II they could have seen
their way to doing it. should have
played Van Ryn in the singles at Autell
in place of Tilden.

the same, but even SO the added ex-
perience would have done Van Ryn q

on whom we're going to depend a great

Tilden already has announced his
retirement from international tennis
play and Hunter is no longer in the
same class with our younger stars. Van
Ryn and Lott will In all probability
form the nucleus Of our Davis Cup team
next year and, therefore. they should
have been given all the experience in

MARATHON GOLF RECORD

ANDERSON. Ind, July 80 F.-

be a world record when he played 1870
holes at the municipal course. He
started his marathon at 4:05 am. and
completed his last putt at 6:55 pm.
The former record was said to be 165
holes held by Fred Jesse Of Youngs-
