States Senator from Illinois, voted against the Eighteenth Amendment. He was again elected by the voters of that State to represent them in the Senate outright repeal platform, and by a lratio of three to the State approved Teferen- Iduns for repeal, second for modification of the Volsead Act, and the third to repeal the State enforcement act.

Bobby Jones Retires.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Twenty-eght seems at first thought early age at which to retire For most persons, it would be. But for Robert T. Jones' worlds premier golfer, it is not illogical There more worlds to con- quer. Not only has this champion of champions taken every major title of the world from one to five times in 1930 he brought his brilliant record to climax by capturing all four of the highest honors of American and British golf.
 Jones indicates that he withdraws from amateur golf because taking money for his projected movies would be breach of the spirit, if not the letter, of amateur play Implicit in his statement is a criticism of the costliness of amateur sports they are organized today. The attitude has been shown by a number of ranking amateur sports men in various games.
 In this light, it seems likely that the admiration held by millions for this youthful worldbeater will continue undiminished despite his withdrawal from championship play He will not become a pro- fessional but he cannot afford to remain an anna teur
 Aside from universal regret, therefore that Bobby Jones will longer startle the people of two continents with his uncanny brlliance on the amateur links his retirement is likely to be whole some, in establishing the prestige of an "in-be- tween" group, who not professionals yet who feel that the rules of amateur play are too cir cumscribed.

CONGRESS MEETS.

While the personnel of Congress that convenes today is materially different in political complexion from the one which will be composed of members elected last month this session will in some meas ure reflect the changes due to take place in it's successor The duration will be short, until March 4 and if it acts upon all necessary subjects, it's consideration of them must be expedited to a greater degree than characterized its opening ses- sion.
 If it takes of legislation designed by the Administration to facilitate its emergency program to meet conditions caused by unemployment and last summers serious drought, and the regular de- partmental supply bills, there will be no general dissatisfaction if it ends it's abors there Senator Norris has announced he will make an effort to force definite action Muscle Shoals, and other members have what to them vital bills. But the country wont suffer materially if they are carried over for another session to deal with The important need right is to enact such laws as are neces- sary for the successful functioning of government. As long as the country has party politics and the Congress it will have issues to spare and the sub jects coming under that head right now will answer as well as any other set for the next session to wrangle about.

GOLFERS PLEASED
 WITH NEW BALL
Ten Prominent Players Express
 Complete Satisfaction

Pasadena. Cslf., Dee, - CP)- The new golf ball-bigger and light er-has inc approval of the ten prominent players polled today by the United Press after they had played with 1t in a major tourna- ment.
 Although the new balI-1.tS inches in diameter and 1.55 ounces in weight-does not become official until Janua7y 1, 1t was used in the Pasadena $4.0e0 open tournament which ended sunday.
 Although scores generally were higher than was the case in the same tournament last year over the identi- cal course, the new ball vas found satisfactory by practically all the prominent players. Tony Manero. Elmsford, \. Y, professional won first prize Of SI400 with q 72-holc total ot 4S7. three strokes over par and seven strokes more than the figure Horton smith won with in 1929.
 Last year fl players shot go or under, whereas thls year only four were within -9Q. Most Of the professionals agreed that the sudden change from the heavier ball 70 the lighter one was the main cause of the higher scores
 Mortie Dutra. Long Beach, Calf, finished second with @89, followed by Herman Marron, Port Chester \. Y. and Al Espinosa. Chicago. who tied TOT third place. Each scored 29o.
 Tied for fifth place were Ray Nangrum, Dallas, Tex Tommy Armour, Detroit, Frank Walsh, Chi cago, and Willie Hunter. Montebel- 10 Park. Calf. each with 29I.
 Only seven times during the four rounds Of the tournament Was par 71 for IS holes broken with the new ball. A year ago Horton Smith broke par for 1S holes twice and equallcd it on his other two rounds. Comment of ten leading golfers on the new ball obtained by the United Press fol- lows:
 Tony Manero: T prefer the new ball to the old one, If weather con- ditions are good I think the scores will be just as low as with the old ball as soon as everybody gets used to the change although the scores may run higher.
 Craig Wood: T like the new ball except for putting, l. seems to float
 
 believe there will be q big difference because Of the difference in weight
 Horton Smith; "I don't find great deal of difference. The new ball doesn't fall in 10 the cup as well aS the old one did
