Johnny Goodman. True to form,
out went Mr.. Little in his next
match, losing to Francis Ouimet,
amateur champion back in 1914
(when Little was a very, very little
fellow. Ouimet, too, lost his next
match to Jimmy" Johnston, the
ultimate winner. who, it might be
said, was "the man who beat the
man who beat the man who beat
the man who beat Bobby Jones!"
Little defeated Philips Finlay in
his first match at Pebble Beach. He
has his heart set on another chance
at the national amateur title. He is
q great competitor, with poise, a f1ne
style, and tee shot reminiscent OF
Babe Ruth. He won the annual
Washington's Birthday Tournament
at Del Monte this year, tied for sec
ond in the national open qualifying
trials in June, but was beaten later
in a couple of minor tournaments.
He may be just the man to prevent
Emperor Jones. from winning his
fourth straight crown this year. 1t
was at Merton that Jones won his
first amateur title, IN 1924.

WALKERS SANITATION
CHIEF FACES REAL JOB
May Find It Necessary to Use
Police as Well as Cans and
Brooms on Streets.

NEW YORK (NANA). - When
Mayor Walker recently appointed his
debonair secretary, Charles S. Hand, as
sanitation commissioner to handle the
street cleaning job, he announced it as
"the best promotion at my command"
Since then Mr. Hand, In going about
the streets to learn the proportions of
his task, has cause to wonder over those
words.
Following the "white wings" he has
found that in tenement districts the
sidewalks are Strewn with rubbish and
decaying vegetables only a few min
utes after broom and travelling can have
gone that way He has visited the
Coney Island beaches and seen that
the bathing masses would rather sit in
trash than throw it into cans plenti-
fully provided. Women ignore police
warnings and throw milk bottles upon
sand already glittering with broken
glass, and storekeeperS dump refuse
into cutters.
SO Mr.. Hand is convinced that some
real police action will be required to
get the city's streets, sidewalks and
beaches really clean, and to keep them
clean. Also, as former newspaper re-
porter, who covered" national political
conventions and toured with Roosevelt
Taft and Wilson as candidates. Mr..
Hand has hopes Of "dramatizing" the
street cleaner He has figures to snow
that such work is more hazardous to
life and limb than the work of firemen
and policemen, and he wants the citi-
zenry to respect the street cleaner and
defer to his authority on the canning
of trash.

flags are painted in huge blocks upon
the bows and midship, so there shall
be no question of nationality when
bandits open fire. But the bands are
not at all discriminatory; one ship is
as good target as another.
AS for the charge that certain for
eigners have been engaged in seditious
activities in the interior, this applies
more to prowling Russians than to any
other nationality. Occasionally these
men are picked up and taken to the
district magistrate and questioned.
Then they are taken to Marking to ex-
plain themselves. Arrests in the in
terror are infrequent-but then so, too,
are the foreign travellers. Few foreign
ers travel in the interior for fun or

main in the comparative safety Of such

CALIFORNIAN MARKET
Is SIGHT OF LONDON
Unlovely Square Is Filled With
Goods Gathered From Four
Corners of Earth.

LONDON CN.A.N IA. - The Gale
DOMAIN Market, though not such a
Mecca for bargain hunters as it used
to be, is still one of the sights of Lon
don, and every Friday morning the
unlovely square off that long and noisy
CALIFORNIAN road is filed with goods
gathered from the four corners of the
earth and now scattered in the most
casual fashion on stalls and pavement.
One fascination of the market is that
you never know whom you will meet
there. Artists, millionaires and beg
CARS jostle against housewives and
tourists, and you may be served by
pauper or a princess. One recent
habitue of the market is Dame Laura
Knight, who is convinced that she can
find many new and interesting types
among the stall holders.
One of the most picturesque figures
in the market Is the daughter of a
Polish princess. She calls herself Miss
Leon, and her Zine" is antiques and
bric-a-brac. About six years ago she
rented what is called by courtesy
STALL" but is really few feet of paved
ground at the usual cost of about SO
cents a week, and one of her first ex-
periences was the friendly offer from
