-FOUR 5)D-yARDERS
SHOO AWAY BRIDES
Two of BeverIy's One Shot
Greens Also Defy Par.
No. II a Marathon.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HCAGO, August 3.-Beverly
Country Club, on Chicago's
" South Side, where the ma
tional amateur golf cham
pionship will be played the tag
end of the month, is considerably
more of test than its STOP yards
and understanding par of II in
dicates. Despair and disaster will
overtake many of the Draw lad
dies who come there with enthu-
siam, but no length to their
wooden shots.
The principal catch to Beverly is this:
While the course measures only 6702
yards from the back tees, 2,265 yards,
or more than one-third of the layout,
has been apportioned among four holes.
The three-Shotters are just that, and
not even the longest drivers are going
to reach the green's in two full swipes
unless there Is a strong wind at their
backs. And no guarantee of favoring
winds is being made by the United
States Golf Association.
Made for Giants.
The battle against distance starts
with the second hole, that measures
545 yards. A narrow fairway puts a
pinch on the tee shot and the second
must avoid two traps If clean pitch
tc the green Is to be enjoyed. There
are $50 yards to the seventh hole, and
o 220-yard carry is necessary to climb
over the hill that faces the tee. At the
end tightly trapped green will pro-
vide numerous headaches.
On the second nine the struggle be-
comes more difficult. The 590-yard
eleventh must have been built for Primo
Camera, for it is up and down hill,
with a slight dog leg at the finish. An
out of bounds to the right will put an
added strain on fluttering hearts. Two
perfectly hit wooden shots put a player
in position to get home with q No. 5
iron, but the approach must be well
struck to avoid the trapping about the
carpet.
The home green. with its Sta yards
provides no rest for the weary and Is
one Of the best finishing holes in the
country. 1t has q slight dog leg to the
right and demands the heavy woods to
be within pitching distance of the
green. The green itself has q decided
slope and Is bordered with deep traps.
Many an otherwise good card will be
ruined on this hole.
Two Tough Short Ones.
On many courses good players are
able to pick up brides on the par five
holes, but there is small opportunity to
gain anything on par over Beverly S
four long ones. The fellow who can
reap q on each of the three-shotters
will go far in the championship, but
the percentage Of pars is expected to
be small
Beverly also has two very testing
short holes. The outstanding one-shot-
ter Is the sixth, that measures 1877
yards. From a hill tee a perfect No.

HOUSE PASSES
LAME DUCK
MEASURE
Norris Resolution Finally Is
Approved After 10-Year Row;
Inauguration Set for Ian. 4

Another barrier has been
broken in the long battle Or
congressional progressives to abol-
ish lame duck" sessions of Con-
gress.
The House has passed the
Norris resolution for a conStitu-
tional amendment, and the meas
ure is on its way to conference
with the Senate, after stubborn
opposition had sidetracked it for
years.
Senator George w. Norris (R.)
Of Nebraska, who led the forces
seeking to prevent defeated
members from legislating, held
the key to final action this
session.
Alternate Dates Set
Although passing the Norris
resolution, the House amended it
to provide that each second ses-
sion of Congress would auto
matically end March 4. AS the
bill passed the Senate, Congress
alone was to determine the time
Of adjournment.
This amendment, proposed by
Speaker LOngwOrth, made pos
Sible passage of the resolution in
the House by a twO-thirds vote.
Unless 1t Is accepted, it is evident
the resolution cannot be passed
this session.
Meets on January
Under the resolution as passed
by the House, the President
would be inaugurated on January
"A instead of March 4.
Congress would meet each year
on January instead of the first
Monday in December. Congress
would determine the time of ad-
journment for the first session
after a November election. The
second would run from January
4 to May 4.
1t means that an entire House
and One-third of the Senate,
elected in November, would come
TO Washington in January.
Would Help Presidents
A President, instead of waiting
from November to March to be
lnaugurated would enter office
In January.
Under the present system mem
berS of the House elected in No
vember may not get q chance to
function rs legislators until 13
months later.
The long interval from election
tc taking office has been de
Tended by opponents of lame
duck" legislation as a necessary
cooling off period.
If Congress completes action
on the amendment it will go 10
State legislatures for ratification.

But" objected MT. James, If the girl goes back to Maud Lau- derdell that damell bump her off all the same and we lose the rake off. Dyou want this Maud to scoop that half million dollars?"
 T can't stop her
 II can though" said MT. James, with a quiet and sinister determi- nation.
 ''How?"
 "The girls husband scoops the pool." he said and leered tri- umphantly. She'll marry me, all right. Only too glad to, by-and- bye" and MT. James leer almost shocked Dr. Charters himself.
 nCut it right out" he said and brought his fist down heavily upon the desk.

 .No, Jimmy" the Doctor went on, there are three little obstacles to your clever scheme. In the firsJ place I'm an honest man, and in the second place the girl wouldn't marry you. And in the third place you're married to Louie Just tell Louie your scheme, my son!
 Without reply MT, James depart ed.

 Dr.. Charters turned his stern re- gard first upon the Matron and then upon Nurse Jones. Not from them had come the merciful ap- peal Sardonically he eyed the la dies, and neither of them spoke.
 At our own risk, Manoel?" he asked. Send for the police and hand Wave over to them-to tell them all he knows?"
 We must do something" expos tulated Dr. MacAdoo indignantly.
 I'm going to do something, all right MT. James assured him. Your MT. Unspeakable Skunk IS going to get his from me right now."
 Look here" continued the Doc tor. You can cut the police-idea and the killing -idea right out, for I won't have the police sent here about a dead Wave any more than live one. But I'll give him an ultimatum. The day Chink's hang ed Wave goes or he never goes at all. I'll tell him we'll take the risk of killing him and that we'll tell Sir Bernard and his Solicitor and Banker that he went hope lessly man and escaped before we could get him certified
 But mind you, Jimmy, we're not going to do it. A dead Wave is going to be mere dangerous to us than a live one. As soon as Chink's hanged there's no further reason for Wave to hide here, and there's no earthly reason why he should return our hospitality by rounding on us. And if he does who's going to listen to the mad mutterings of the lunatic for whom

 Yes-but what would the boss do?

 And the money became ths girls absolutely On September the first, when she was 21. Why lei Maud have all that great wac and only peel off 10000 for those who landed it? Shame to bumr off a pretty girl like Marjorie.
 Yes-Mr. James would make ur to her forthwith, and when she was about at the end of her tethel propose both matrimony and es- cape.
 She'd take the former for ths sake of the latter, if for no other reason.

James, clever Dr. MacAdoo and the reverend Dr. Charters himself had something on their minds, were upset about something.
 And upon the minds of the five there was something incredible monstrous, nauseating-the reah- zations of human depravity hither- to mercifully concealed from them
 Tt surely is the most plumb wickedest thing I ever heard of, " said MT. James, "and, Boss, l don't stand for it. It was bad enough when we thought it was a stranger. How on earth did they come to pick on Chink Dorson?'
 "How?" snapped the Doctor. Be cause Wave put them on to. him He wrote the anonymous letter to the police, and it gave them some thing to work on. They arrested Chink, got his record and framed this case on him.
 AS soon as anybody is hanged for the murder of Schlitz it lets Wave out. He must have known that Chink was in England and that his record would go against him and, for all we know, he may have had it in for Chink. He may have thought it clever to put ! the police on to poor Chink for the murder that he himself had committed Anyway it's unspeak- able that he should lie in bed here at eight o'clock in the morn ing while Chink is walking to the scaffold with the awful sky-pilot reading the burial service over him while he's alive and warm" A shudder ran through the com pany gathered in the consulting room.
