would like to get in the chase for
the title.
Consequently Hall and Seago
have halted their series, billed for
the courthouse championship, to
allow the others to come in. They
had played two games, each win
ming one.
The new tournament was in the
process of formation Friday. Any
officeholder or employee at the
courthouse is eligible to enter the
fray.
Discussion as to whether the
tournament should employ handi-
caps was in progress Friday. Sam
Bell, generally conceded to be the
best golfer, was staunchly holding
out for a straight tournament, while
others believed that handicaps
should be employed. A suggestion
that both a straight and handicap
tournament be held simultaneously
was under consideration.
No definite steps had been taken
Friday, but it was viewed as prob
able that committees to set the
rules and schedule would be named
at a general meeting of the entries.

The city's reaction to the flight

a tense moment in a Texas league
ball game here, the Billion Dollar

pitcher forgot to deliver his ball,
the catcher removed his mask to
watch the refuelling high above and
the fans likewise craned necks.

He said Chu zao-Yang, minister
to Finland, would leave Marking
Saturday for Harbin enroute TO
Moscow. There were various re-
ports that Moscow would refuse to

Eastern railway had been returned

There were reports from Man

been fired upon by Chinese at Man
chuli, at the eastern terminus of
the railroad, and that afterwards
rival armies encamped on opposite
sides Of the frontier there had fired
upon each other.
The danger, in the event Russia
should send an expeditionary force
into Manchuria, was obvious, OBJ

fear was expressed that continue

so irritate the Soviet headquarters
as to nuiiify the efforts which have

WEATHER HALTS
HOP TO TOKYO

TACOMA, Wash, July 26.-LP-
With plane and aviator ready, only
a favorable weather report was
needed to send Lieut.. Harold Brom-
ley winging his way across the Pa
cific to Tokyo, Japan.
The take-off was lat least "a
hours distant" Lieutenant B-oIaiey
said last night after scanr:rg an
unfavorable weather report. A few
score persons, however, remained at
the Tacoma air field all night, on
the chance the young aviator might
attempt a surprise start.
In a trial flight yesterday Lieu
tenant Bromley flew over Seattle
and Olympia, remaining aloft an
hour and Is minutes. "Fine Is silk"
was his description of the way the
big plane performed, but nc did
learn the need for Z change IN his
wireless antenna. When he lowered
them back and entangled them in
the tail skid. A heavier weight will
remedy this, he believes. Another
defect discovered was a compass
which was in error 80 degrees.
Herbert Fahy. chief test pilot of
the Lockheed factory, where the
plane was built, expressed approval
of the ship and preparations for the
take-off with one exception. He
found the ramp, built to give the
plane added momentum on the
take-off, dangerously steep, on his
recommendation II will he lowered.
Fahy presented "a 1ley with a
tedraggled .ab9-ts foot for coed
luck.
But : want it back when you re-
turn" he stipulated.

ASKED IN EAST
Engineer Studies Opportun-
ity For Industrial And
w. Textile Field v.
Especial to The Herald)

SAN BENITO, July 26.-The
Lower Rio Grande Valley may take
its first important steps toward be-
coming an industrial section if a
survey being made now by w.
d. Dickinson. industrial engineer of
the Central Power and Light COM
pany, shows a field for it.
1t is understood the survey is be-
ing made at the request of several
large manufacturing concerns in
the east.
Dickinson is making a survive to
determine the feasibility of estab-
fishing large textile and paper mills
in the Valley. The amount of cot
ton seed hull is being determined,
as this would be used in the manu-
facture of paper, while textile mills
would draw on the cotton, and
probably would use imported ma
terials from Mexico.
He also is making a survey to de-
termine the field for a dried milk
plant. although it is believed the
number Of COWS is insufficient at
this time. ~

Common Bridge Errors
AND HOW TO CORRECT THEM
BY w. w. WENTWORTH

of hearts and East wins this trick
with queen of hearts, leads clubs
and prevents game.
The Correct MethOd-Every eff
fort must be made to prevent East
from obtaining the lead to play
clubs through Declarer. Every
finesse should be taken by Dummy
toward the Declarer's hand so
that if the f1nesse fails West will be
in the lead.
Upon winning the first trick with
ace of clubs, Declarer plays jack of
hearts and overtakes it with ace
of hearts whether West covers with
hearts or not.
Declarer then plays 10 of hearts
and illnesses. Played in this manner
two club tricks must be made and
game is assured.
After winning the Jack of clubs,
DecIarer throws the lead to West
with of clubs to make him lead
up to Declarer.
The Principle-When necessary,
prevent opponent from leading
through you by finessing toward
opponents strong hand.
