liver to Governor Youny it's recon. mcndation in Billings case.
 Court Must Act

hNCr 10 GoVernor 1ouny It's recom- mcndation in Billings case.
 Court Must Act
 Governor Young can not act favorably on Billings application un- less the supreme court so recom- mcnds. This is because California law requires supreme court recom- mendation in the petition of twice convicted men, such as Billings.
 Mooney. a San Quentin inmate, legally may be pardoned at any time, but the governor insisted that the two cases arc similar and both men will receive the same treatment,
 Thus, if the supreme court flatly rejects Billings appeal, it will mean that Governor Young will refuse Mooneys plea for a pardon.
 Both men have said they never would accept paroles, insisting that q parole carries with il an inference of guilt.
 Communication, like a pardon or repricvc. is part of d governors power 10 exercise clemency, Unlike q parole is the fact that q convict can not refuse a Commutatiou of sentence.
 Information given to inc United Press by usually reliable source said it was almost certain that q pardon will not be granted. That leaves two courses opcn-a com mutation or parole. and the former, according to those who hay" studied th" case. seems the more likely.
 Leaves Onicc soon
 X recommendation one way or the other by the court will mark the end. in all probability Of Governor Noung's part in tho controversy. He leaves office the first Of the year. James liolph, Jr.. San Francisco's mayor, succeeds him.
 Rolph never has committed him. self on the Mooney- Billings case. His only reference 10 its during the republican gubernatorial primary, in which he defeated Young, vas that the case would he settled without de- la should it ever come before him.
 Tho Mooney Billings ' controversy has been stormy issue between liberals and conservatives since the men were convicted. Efforts in their hrhalf never have ceased and will not now. should their appeals b" denied recording to Mary Gal larh,r. secretary Of tro Mooney dc fonsc lcagu".

Mrs. Kahn

out the schedule.
From now until just before MAY rs, the
date of the first match at Avalon, the
women at each course will play several
rounds and submit their cards to their
team captain that they may be used in
selecting the four low handicap players to
form the team. The handicaps will be sub
mitted to Mrs. Stevenson who in turn will
use them to determine which order the
teams will rate by handicap. On their
handicap rating the teams will be matched
for the first round matches on May rs.
the same as for individual match play.
One OF the three winners of those
matches will draw a bye in the second
round and the other two will clash June 9
at Highland The winner will clash with
the bye" team on June 30. at course
to be selected later to determine the club
champion for 1880. Two obstacles arose in
the path OF the team league. First. it
was pointed out that some of the clubs
do not have four low handicap players.
Second arose the problem Of getting in the
play before vacations disrupted the team
personals. Because OF these two problems
it was decided to limit the league to six
teams and TO plav the matches by bracket
system covering three engagements instead
Of having each of the six teams meet the
other five teams.
A S it is the city tournament at
IA Avalon this year will come be-
tween the second and third matches
and the final match will be over
just a short time before the state
tournament at Hammond. The idea
Of Mrs. Lee in forming the league
