Force Of Regulars Called to
 Meeting This Afternoon

Regular members of the police force have been notified by Chief William C. Hart to be present at a meeting at 3:l5 this afternoon at headquarters to discuss charter re- vision proposals which have direct bearing on the police department.
 One of the chief topics of discus sion will in all probability be rcIa- tive to the fixing of d definite age at which all regular policemen will become eligible for pension.
 It IS understood that some of the younger members Of the regular force are in favor of making the age limit 60 years while the older members are content to leave mat ters as they now stand with the uls- cretionary power of retiring a man m the hands of the members ot the existing police board.
 Further consideration will be giV- en to the plan which calls for two per cent deduction from the wages of the policemen during the past three months for the mayor s rellet fund. The men will decide whether they will continue this contribution for the next three months or d!s- continue II.
 Ways and means of increasing the pension fund will also come Tn TOT it's share of consideration.

CHIEF SCORES

CHIEF" GEORGE, Brownsville
golfer who won the amateur tour
nament at HarlingoA Monday. IS in
clined to be modest He says ne
was fortunate to beat out the field.
Jimmy. my son. should have beaten
me in the seml-finais. but he miss
ed a couple Of short puts al crl-
tical moments which allowed me TO
halve the holes. Jimmy played bet
ter golf All through the tournament
than I did" the Chief said.
ALTHOUGH the Brownsville
golfer defeated Jimmy Morgan by
a decisive margin in the fina', he
says the San Antonian Is OF
the best minister's that he has ever
Ret. Never before had Morgan been
down to an opponent in tourna-
ment play. He did not know how
II felt to be on the short end. When
the Brownsville man put him down
early in the match. Morgan began
striving desperately and the strain
was too much. He blew up. CHIEF
had him five down and four TO
90 when hostilities ceased.
Two perfectly executed explosion
shots from sand traps and q TAM
pico professional. had a lot TO do
with the Alamo City chaps down
fall. Chief recently won a tour
rament at Tampico IN sensational
style. Consequently. he made a
strong impression upon Nichols,
Tampico pro. just before the final
match az Harl.ngen, Nichols was
talking to the San Antonian. He
told him Of the Tampico tourna-
ment and OF the Chiefs magic
powers over the clubs. You'll have
TO 20 some If YOU want TO beat
that Indian Nicho-s told Morgan.
Evidently. the San Antonian let
this affect his game.
Tie snatch had no sooner started
than Chief began living up TO the
advance advertising copy put out
by Nichols. On two successive holes
Chief went into the sand traps. IL
looked as if he were in a bad way
each time. on both occasions the
Brownsville man executed perfect
explosion shots TO roll within eight
inches of the cup. These shots SEEM
cd TO take the steam from the San
Antonian's game.
4e-Foot Putt
BOBBY JONES sunk a 40-foot
putt to win the national open. The
Chief had TO do the saSle thing 70
come through in one Of his early
matches. He called his shot, ms
tructing the caddy TO move his
shadow over from w the hole
and to be sure and pull the pin. a
sure steady stroke and the ball
dribbled across the green and fell
into the hole. Had II missed. II
would not have gone two inches
beyond the hole.
GEORGE has high hopes Of at
tending the Mexican national am
ateur meeting 70 be staged al
Mexico City Nov. /. Due TO his
strong showings at Monterrey and
Tampico. Chief has a good reputa-
ton as a golfer in the southern re-
public. He has been extended a spe-
cial invitation to the Mexico City
meet.
