Balloon Golf
Ball Abandoned

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. CJ.R)-Abol-
ishment of the balloon ball was
announced by the United States
Golf Association through the United
Press today.
Effective January /, 1882, the Of
fetal ball will be of 1853 inches
in diameter and of 1852 ounces.
The balloon" ball was also o.
1853 inches in diameter but weighed
only 155 ounces.
The balloon" ball supplanted the
1.62-162 ball which had been Off
cial for many years. 1t was adopted
in an effort to curtail increasingly
low scoring performances by star
players. In this it failed. A Unit
cd Press survey of scores made in
major tournament play failed to
disclose any radical change.
Meantime the buffers con-
demned The larger ball. They con-
tended that it accentuated tenden-
cies to slice or pull their drives.
However. like all golfers, they ad-
mitted it sat up better in fair
way lies and thus enabled many
players to make sounder second and
third shots.

|-Cridiron warriors Of Stanford

|alertness on the eve of their an
| nual big game" were ready today
| for the showdown between POP
Warmers magic and Bill Ingram's
flight.
The current renewal OF their e
year football feud was reduced to
these elements SIS the hour for the
kickoff approached and pre-game
fanfare and hysteria gave way to
cold facts and a comparison Of the
|rival squads.
The chief stumbling block in fore
casting the big game-the biggest
in the west this week and to thou
sands of old grads the biggest OF
the years. that cold facts don't
mean much when Glenn Scobey
Warner is part Of the equation.
BY almost every rule known to

lis the better team and should at
last win after seven futile assaults

en- Bears hold a shade in the wager
ling. and doubtless they should, but
and there are a whole flock Of
butts.
The indomitable spirit that In
gram has inculcated into a down

OF FIGHT
PROMISED FANS
IN RING TONIGHT

Fight, and nothing else but, is
guaranteed boxing fans tonight at
the Imperial Valley Athletic club,
when Al Alicante and Dick Ramies
square off for Jne IU-rounu main
event in what promises to be one
of the hardest and most exciting
battles in the history Of the club.
Ramies and Alicante are topnotch
welterweights who could shine in
any club in the country. The state
ment is not exaggerated and will be
borne out by any who have seen
either of the boys do their stuff.
They have met all the hard ones,
including Cowboy Charlie Cobb.
Swede Berglund, Sammy Aguirre,
Sammy Jackson, Bandit Romero
and other well-known fighters.
Sometimes they have won and other
times they have lost, but whenever
Ramies or Alicante step into the
ring there is fight and a good
one.
Tonight each of them will be
battling for another chance at
Charlie Cobb, recognized as the best
of the welters in Southern Califor-
MIA. Cobb holds decisions over both
boys though Alicante beat him once.
Another shot at Cobb would mean
packed house in San Diego,
whether it is Ramies or Alicante that
gets the assignment.
All the fight is not on the top
spot. however. If Kid Exposito is
anything like advance reports claim
MIN TO be, the semi-final is going
to be a WOW. Nino Perez. the San
Bernardiro flash, showed in sew
eral battles here during the summer
that he is a finished workman. He
has speed. skill and a punch that
should carry him far. Exposito is
declared to be the type that will
make him extend himself, and if he
does. that should make good fight
No. ..
Last week the fans saw Carl
Hagar get up from nine count to
knock Joe DeLeon into Dreamland,
and Joe is tough hombre to knock
to sleep This week Hagar faces a
boy whom almost any fighter can
lick, but who happens to be a
stumbling block for Carl. The San
Bernardino boy has had several
fights with Louis Reyes, the Draw
ley fat boy, and has had lots OF
trouble in each fight After a long
rest Reyes should be in good shape
tonight and if he is, the fans can
put this bout down for good fight
No. 8.
Kid Mexico, the Brawley veteran,
and Pilino Garcia of CaleXico, will
open the show. The kid is pretty
we'll shot as a fighter but he can
make funny faces and make fair
showing which is all one can ex-
pect III q curtain raiser.
The first fight will be called al
$50 and ladies with escorts will be
admitted without charge. The arena
has been covered with the usua
%big top" and will be comfortable II
every way for the fans tonight. AS
usual. low prices will prevail ano
with a headliner like the main event
the fans are getting a bargain.

PRESIDENT IS OPTIMISTIC.

The people will be generally disposed to hope that President Hoover had good reason for his declaration that the underlying forces that count recovery from the present depression throughout the country working, and will assert themselves to the extent that we shall soon enter ot prosperity far greater than anything that has gone before. The Presidents speech was plainly in tended to give the people more confidence in the situation. He openly asked for the restoration of confidence
 There are few, if any, who do not believe firmly that the depression that is in the midst of it's second year will disappear and that prosperity will again. The mooted question is, 'When?" There is no doubt but that more confidence would strengthen those in authority and hasten the ap proach of the much wanted good times However, in spite of the Presidents optimism most people will probably believe that the readjustments that are generally admitted to be condition precident have not been completed.

SECRETARY WILBUR MAY RETIRE.

W. w. Jermane, Washington correspondent and associate editor of the Seattle Times, wires his paper that Secretary of the Interior Wilbur may resign September l and his work Presi- dent of Leland Stanford University. Dr. Wilbur is still President of Stanford. He given leave of absence for year when he became member of the Cabinet and this extended last year His leave will expire September l. It is said that menl bers of the Stanford Board not in favor of further extension as, they think, the university is suffering account of long distance administra- ton It is believed Mir Jermane says that Dr. Wilbur has not been completely happy in public office and would prefer to return to educational work
 Another reason advanced for the belief that Dr. Wilbur will return to Leland Stanford is financial His salary President of the University $20,000 year while that of Secretary of the Interior is only sl5,000. For the first year he drew both salaries and severely criticized for it. The Stanford Board refused to pay his salary during the second year. Further, a half dozen more years as President of Stanford would enable Dr. Wilbur to retire on a large pension If another President is elected now that pension would not accrue. So there is even more than the s5ooo year difference be- tween salaries at stake.

Commemorating James Monroe.
(New York Herald -Tribune)


 As MT. Hoover said in his message at the un- Monroe Doctrine was conceived in the friendliest spirit toward the struggling republics of Latin America" AS Elihu Root said in his letter, it is a policy of peace-and it may be added, of Ameri- can peace.
 Peace is not a condition which can be either created maintained without effort, as is shown by the existence of the police in even those coun- tries having most docile population There are places in the American hemisphere where the popu- lation far from docile that the very sovereignty of the nation is shaken to the extent of being times non-existent. Perhaps for this reason the Monroe Doctrine wisely asserted the sovereignty of "the governments which have declared their inde- pendence and maintained it." There are countries in the hemisphere where independence is to say the least, seriously jeopardized
 Those who have followed the recent develop ments in Nicaragua will join with MT. Root in say ing that it lis at least premature to say that the day of the Monroe Doctrine has passed Together with the Washington Jefferson policy of no en- tanglements with foreign countries the doctrine is cardinal point of American foreign policy h. deed, if school children merely remember these two points they need not know much more to appraise the political aspect of the United States in the foreign field.
 The Monroe Doctrine is so intimately related to the growth and prosperity of the Americas that its framers scarcely be commemorated too much. It is fitting and statesmanlike for MT. Hoover to state his faith in it, especially at time when a tendency to forget it is occasionally discernible.

Liberty and the Press.
Cincinnati Enquirer,


 As a restatement of the fundamental principle of the freedom of the press, the Supreme Courts decision against the so-caled Minnesota "gag law" scarcely requires comment So firmly grounded in American public life is the doctrine of free press, that the uphoding of that principle may be taken for granted.
 What is significant is the emphasis which the majority of the Court placed the peculiar position of the newspaper With the problem of government steadily complex more beset with temptations and irregularities Chief Justice Hughes said in effect, that the importance of untram- meled press is even greater than when the Const- tuition was framed.
 This is at tribute to- the newspapers of America and warning. It acknowledges their ef- fort to throw spotlight the conduct of the public business and the functioning of our gov ernmental system. But it also implies a special responsibility of the newspaper to hold itself above the standard of profit-making and embrace above all the public interest.
 Enjoying the confidence of the Nation md the vigorous protection of the Supreme Court from those political restraints that have destroyed the liberty of the press in many countries, the newspapers of America will continue to be not only faithful mirror of contemporary history but searchght upon the men and institutions that conduct the public affairs of the Nation.

STATE AND TREASURY DEPART
 MENTS ARE RIGHT.

We agree completely with the State and Treas ury Departments at Washington that the Repara- tions charges against Germany and war debts to the United States separate problems and ought to be so considered The United States loaned money to the struggling Allies in the against Germany with prodigal hand We gave them what they wanted and gave Sit to them when the indications plain that the Allied Nations might crack if the request for money were not granted. They got the money to keep their own forces in the field.
 After the war was over, won with the aid of Americas very costly army the Allies imposed their costs upon Germany The United States bore the expense of her 100000 and vast fleets and asked for not cent from anybody for them. We got reparations, asked for We only asked the countries that borrowed money from us for their to repay We gave them all the time they asked for in which to pay We even waived a large part of the interest
 Whatever the United States might do about the debts the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury absolutely within the facts when they say there is connection of any sort between them and the separations charges that made against Germany.

Every now and then we hear some one shout that MT. Raskob, MT Shouse and others ignor- ing in their discussions of party issues the dry Democrats of the South. It is being predicted that they will lose for the Democratic Party the votes of Southern States in the next Presidential election they do not quit their war Prohibition and its enforcement The South it is said, will vote Re- publican if the Democrats do not stand pat for the Eighteenth Amendment and it's enforcement.
 The answer to that ought to be easy.
