carrying around 240 The longest ball
was one that carried about 240 yards
and then rolled 40 more for a total Of
280. But Hunter was hitting the ball
into a wind from the northeast out of
the right and under unfavorable con-
ditions. The air was heavy, the sun
was not shining and the ball dropped
quickly with comparatively little run.
Under more favorable conditions
neither Mcnamara nor Davis had any
doubt that Hunter could carry the ball
260 yards or more. 1t was a most i'm
pressive display of long hitting from
the tee. Gosh" said Tommy. IF
could have had that wallop back in
the old days I might have won the
championship. This guy Is real
hitter and no mistake"
The balls used were Of the present
regulation weight and size with one or
two of the new weight Sprinkled in.
Strangely enough the two which carried
beyond the 250-yard mark were Of the
old weight and size. namely 1.55 in
weight and 1853 in size SO any time
you think a golf ball cannct be carried

can knock 'sm $50 yards and more,

or not.

 Forty shells fired from the Jap anese concession fell in the Chin ese area. Four persons were killed and ten were wounded.
 Japanese authorities said ran- dom shots fired by rioting Chinese soldiers fell in the Japanese con- cession, killing two sentries and wounding a woman.
 Details of the fighting as told by eye-witnesses were conflicting and confused because dust storm ob- scufed the scene. Darkness also made 1t difficult to identify the rioters.
 The Italian and French garri- sons were on guard all night. but the shell fire apparently ended the danger to foreign residents.
 The fighting began at midnight when about 1000 armed Chinese began disorders not far from the foreign concessions Chinese off, cia1s charged that the rioters were melted and bribed by Japanese. The Japanese said the fighting was started by Chinese troops which had retreated from I<irin Province in Manchuria and which attacked the Tientsin garrison.
 The rioters attacked the Chinese police station, the railroad station and the governors headquarters. The native police were surrounded and driven back. Three compan- ies of Chinese troops weer called out to disperse the assailants. Mar shall Chang Hsueh-Liang, Man churian ruler who controls the Peiping area. sent an armored trani from Peiping.

WHAT THE PRESS AGENTS SAY
RUTH CHATTERTON IN "ONCE A LADY" DELIGHTS CROWDS AT WARNER BROS STATE

A crowning achievement in the career of any screen celebrity Is worthy of note. Ruth Chatterton assays this accomplishment in "Once a Lady" now at Warmers State.
 Although Miss Chatterton has been surrounded with nota able and gifted cast, including a good ly sprinkling of English celebri- ties who ideally suit the earlier British environment of the action, it ta again the royal sense of dra- mattc values which the star pos sesses and so facilely projects from the screen, which carries off the honors.
 The story is of a Russian ad- Venturess transplanted from Paris, scene of many amorous conquests, by the different wooing of an Eng fish son of wealth. The changed environment, with the husbands s disappearing family alternating the affection of a daughter from her mother, and q moment of indiscre- tiom with a former admirer on the eve of an important election in which the young man is interested. provoke breakup.

 An excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the feature which closes It's engagement to- morrow night.

fighting broke out again at 2 a. m. with about 1000 armed men en- gagged.
 The Japanese authorities issued an order to the rioters at a. m. to withdraw from zone extending 300 yards outside the Japanese concession. The order was not obeyed. The smelling was started at a. m.
 Chinese troops arrested some rioters who were quoted as saying the Japanese supplied them with ammunition and bribes to organize the disturbance as an excuse for Japanese occupation of Tientsin. The Chinese said they found brlbe money and Japanese pistols on the rioters
 The Japanese version of the out break was that they had been com pelled to fire in defense of the con- cession, because of the attack by Kirin troops. They disclaimed all responsibility for the battle.
 Chinese troops were on duty to- day, relieving the police.
 StinlsOn to Act.
 Washington, Nov 9-(UP)-Sec- retary of State Stimson is plan ming new American move to maintain peace in the Orient, but officials would not disclose nature of 1t.
 This was learned today after Stimson held conference with President Hoover at the White House.
 Because he is actively working on this latest effort to safeguard peace, Stimson declined today 10 discuss the Manchurian situation. He would not answer directly n question as to whether American forces in China would be supple mented because of anti-foreign demonstrations. Stimson said that many things were under consider ation.
 He pointed out, however, that q squadron of naval vessels is all ready In the Far East as well as a regiment of infantry at Tientsin. Although he did not say so directly observers received the impression that he regarded existing America n forces in or near China as sufficient to safeguard United States inter- est
 Although he regards the present phase of the Chinese-Japanese struggle as very serious, it was understood the secretary has not lost hope of preventing open war fare between China and Japan.

three courses open to Stimson now in his efforts to prevent war. One would be to renew diplomatic pres sure on Tokio and Manking by sending a strongly worded memor- andum urging the countries to preserve peace. He has sent sev- eral such messages in the past.
 Second, Srimson might call a conference of the signatories of the nine-power Pacific pact of 1922 which provides for consultation If China's territorial integrity is men aced. Thus far officials have taken the. view that this step was need less because virtually all of the signotories are now conferring in League of Nations meetings.
