LYONS ARM VEXES DOME
White Sox Pilot Also Concerned
Over Jolley's Condition.

NEW YORK, April II (Pl.-The nu-
merous problems which vexed Manager
DOME Bush of the Chicago White Sox
have been materially reduced. But two
serious ones remain.
The condition of Ted Lyons arm,
which suddenly went bad on him, is
still source of worry. The other cause
for concern is in how quickly Smead
Jolley, who went to Chicago several
days ago for a minor surgical opera
ton, will return to duty.
Jolley is expected to be ready in a
week or two, while Lyons arm was
scheduled for a trial against the New
York Giants today.

Pointers on Golf
BY SOL METZGER.

The golf swing. as has often been
pointed out, is full swing back with
a straight left arm in control. True,
many stars, such as Vardon, will bend
the left at the elbow when near the
top of the backswing, but this benz
only occurs when nearing the top
and when starting the club down.

One main reason for the left con-

With a new rudder, clean bot tom freshly painted and favored by four winds and friendly tides, the steamship Northwestern, Capt. c. A.

Bound from Seattle to Seward, she is scheduled to resume her trip to the Westward at 4:30 this afternoon.
 On reaching here, the vessel had 52 passengers, and of these B were fer this port. Cabin passengers for Juneau were MT. and Mrs. L. w. Turcff, MT. and Mrs. E. E. Eng strom, MT. and Mrs. L. w.

SAILDA, Colo, Jan. 2.-Snow- blows have begun their seasonal wrangle with the elements in the Rockies.
 Men and machines have joined forces in efforts to keep highways across the continental divide open to the cross-country motor traveller.
 Day and night, often for week at stretch, gasoline motors drone their way back and forth along snCw-clogged roads. Hundreds of men work in shifts to prevent the white banks from erecting an all- winter barrier to travel.
 Frequently there are slides, when hundreds of tons of snow hurtle down from the mountainside with such force as to dislodge concrete railings-not by impact but mere ly by creating back-slap of wind.
 Of the score of passes in the state, less than half dozen are kept open all winter. Tennessee pass, 1O,276 feet above sea level, is one of the most important be- cause it is on a transcontinental route. Another is Raton pass, on the Santa Fe trail.
 Something like Sl0000O was spent last year in keeping open passes and roads throughout Colorado. A hundred blows, mostly of the straight blade variety, are employed
 And moving the snow is as much problem Of excavation as moving dirt or rcck. On Tennessee pass huge rotary blow is used, but only after the. straight bladed blows have wcrked over the read to give the whirling blades full play.
 Snow work is of fairly recent orl- gin in Colorado, so far as keeping open the passes is concerned. Ten ne5-ee pass has been kept open for only two seasons.
 Another pass, Berthoud, on the Victory highway is kept open large- ly because the highway department found it cheaper to work dii win ter than to remove the accumulat- ed snow in the spring.

FISH DIE OFF
 AS LOCKS POLLUTE RIVER

. ADELAIDE, Australia, Jan. B. The fish that formerly teemed in Australia's greatest river-the Mur- ray-are dying in myriads and the banks for hundreds of miles are strewn with them Death of the fish is said to be due to locking of the river during recent years for irri- gation farms.
 The locks have impeded the flow and the waters are becoming i'm pregnated with salt and magnasia.
 This pollution net Cnly kills the fish but also the mussels, their principal food.
