MISS CIRCUIT
SCORES 81
|NSTORM

PORTMARNOCK, Ireland, June
6.-With American representation
strengthened by the last-minute
entry of Mrs. Mark Steele, of San
Gabriel, Calf. play began today
in the British Women'S Open golf
championship over the Portmar
mock course.
Until Mrs. Steele'S entry T'aS
posted and accepted, the only
American entrant had been Maui
reen Orcutt, of Englewood, N. j.,
who, battling through thunder
storm, scored 80 for the first 18
holes of qualifying play.
Mrs. Steele's participation in
the tournament was brief, how
ever. She failed to turn in her
card.
Miss Orcutt's was one Of the
hest early scores turned in, al
though her card showed two Is
and one 6.
She got into grave difficul :cs
at the twelfth, where she bunkered
her tee-shot and then dropped her
recovery into a bunker on the
other side. She got out of this
only to find herself back in the
original hazard. She took 7 to
hole out.
Sets New Record
At the thirteenth, Miss Orcutt
landed in a water hazard with
her No. iron shot and had to
pick out the ball. taking a stroke
penalty.
Miss Enid Wilson, British cham
pion, set a new course record for
women with a IS for the first
18 holes.
Miss Orcutt has won practically
every title in the United States,
with the exception of the national
and wa installed here as the
favorite l~rgely on the basis of
her work this spring.

All OF ChlS OF course brings the
pitchers cause to the fore be-
cause when he is really right, it
is he who makes the little white
speech so bothersome to the hit
ters, both great as we'll as weak.
Teams Weak At Bat
Take yesterdays game between
the Griffmen and Detroit Tigers
for instance, Sad Sam Jones and
George Uhle, opponents on the
mound, had every batsmen that
faced them bothered, only Detroit
was able to find Jones for the
hits that decided the issue in the
eleventh after 10 scoreless frames.
Against UhIe the Griffmen
couldn't find themselves at bat
at all while the Tigers found
it equally as hard until that
eleventh as mentioned before.
Almost every inning found the
batterS lifting weak flies to the
outfield or pops to the infield. 1t
got so that after the sixth or sew
enth, fans, players and everybody
else looked for a ScoreleSS tie game
with darkness hating it because
Of the twists and turns both Jones
and Uhle served plateward which
could not be hit with any con-
sistent degree of safety.
This bring the subject down to
the fact that hitting and not
pitching must win games every
once in a while. But not against
Uhle and Jones as they hurled
yesterday.
Wear Down Jones
The Tigers won because they
wore down Jones in the eleventh,
or until they were able to insert
one of the few bingles they got
in the right place. The Griffmen
lost because they could not get
their hits collectively. They

four of these after two were out.
Jones hit III. Walker, Tiger
Outfielder, to start the eleventh.
This gave Owen a chance to
sacrifice his teammate down
to second, which he did.
Stone grounded to Kuhel, and
it looked for a moment as if
Jones was to get out this little
rough spot, but johnson singled
through second and III. Walker

three in their end of the eleventh
and the game was ended. It
marked, incidentally, the first
Detroit victory in that teams
last eight starts while it broke a
mild winning streak of the Griff.
men which had reached three
straight.
So in conclusion it goes that
the twists and turns of the
pitchers offerings are certainly
bothersome at times. The Griffs
were extremely bothered because
they were unable to hit in
punches for the first time this
week, while the Tigers were
bothered until johnson, right
fielder, inserted his game-winnine
single in the eleventh.
Oh well, Jonesy old boy, maybe
it won't be such a tough day
next time out. Also Uhle, who
certainly had to pitch his head
off to triumph.

Oh Connie Mack's menaces in this
fast travelling pennant race.
But it seems that that is not

had a whale of a chance to re-
duce the AS lead to four games
yesterday, as the AS lost to the
Chicago White SoX, to 3, but
failed because George Uhle bested

At that if the Griffs can keep

White SOx Here Today
But to keep in the present
order of things. The Chicago
White Sox are in town today for
the first of their four games here
and Manager Walter Johnson, al
ways hopeful of gettink off to a
good start. will send Carl Fischer,
his brilliant young lefthander to
the mound. Either Victor Frazier
or Pat Carroway is expected to
1url for the BuSh-managed team.
The White SOx, incidentally,
are glad TO get away from
Philadelphia, where they have
been for the last four days, be-
cause Of the rough treatment
they have received at the hands
of the terrible gang" there.
True, they defeated the men of
Mack yesterday, but it was
only because Mahaffey, starting
pitcher, could not stem the tide
behind Philadelphia hits. Also
because Of the fact that Reds
Faber turned in one of his we'll
pitched games of the season.
The White Sox are not playing
first division ball, however, when
everything is considered. They
just haven't got that punch, it
seems. although they have been
materially strengthened by the
acquisition of Lew Fonseca from
Cleveland. FonSeca is playing
second base for his new team, q
decidedly different position from
the one he was playing while with
Cleveland. He was on first for
the Indians.

across the remaining yards and Jimmy
Johnson kicked the goal. Princeton

TAXES DISCUSSED

Taxes and other matters were dis
cuSsed for several hours when officers
of the Pine County Tax Reform
League and others interested met at
the Hotel Madison in Sandstone Sat-
urday. w. F. Hammargren, district
appraiser of the State Rural Credits
Bureau, gave the most extended talk
of the day, though no set speeches
had been arranged for in advance of
the meeting. He dwelt upon the pro-
posed state income tax and the neces-
sity for passing the constitutional
amendment at the election in the fall
of 1882, urging all to support the in
come tax, especially out here in rural
communities where it will be most
beneficial. Many resolutions were pro-
posed at the meeting and some passed.
Plans were also laid for having a
meeting together with the county COM
missioners to further discuss taxes,

ing states in conservation of it's nat
ural resources. Our game laws are
copied by several other states who
have been tardy, to their sorrow, in
curbing game and fish hogs. l be-
lieve that Minnesota's natural gifts
are for the pleasure and benefit OF
all the people. Judging by the large
vote given to reinstate the game
refuge, the law must be popular. OF
course there will be a few violations;
if there were none, there would be
no need for the law. l know that
all wardens are very careful to judge
between a hunters mistake and will
sportsman may make a mistake in
taking a breed of fish or fowl and
l think the average case is handled
in the best way. Most violations
seem to come from just little over
eagerness. Our blood gets warm, the
away with it a few days before sea-
son, or just on the edge inside the
well posted game refuge. Just grown
up kids trying to beat the game, a
few sharp lessons and we'll learn.
One of our wise laws is the one re-
quiring that all fire arms in automo-
biles be empty, broken, or encased.
| The good points of this law are OBJ
vious and any child can explain it.
Any public enforcement officer can en-
force it. 1t does not violate the sec
ond or fourth amendments to our con-
stitution. If the game warden finds
two men with loaded shotgun in the
car in chicken country, out of season,
they can't alibi that they are wait
ing for their wives. You answer it,
it's my question.
1t is easy to play checkers from the
side lines. 1t is easy to criticise and
not offer a remedy, while construc-
tive criticism must have brains and
thought behind it. AS Bill Barns
feather says: eff you know better
ole go to it." If the conservation
laws were violated as openly, as cheer
fully, and as unanimously as one other
amendment l am thinking of l would
say, repeal them all and start over.

ment? The public was not educated

ASSEMBLY HALL WORK

AS stated in the American last week
it was decided to go ahead and fix up
the Assembly hall and we started
to dig out the Foundation and have
been going at the job with a full
crew ever since. The crew has
ranged in size from men and three
teams and a truck to Is men. By
Friday night the foundation should
be finished. The last two walls will
be set in concrete, as it will be
quicker, and we thought it best to
get the foundation set before it turned
colder. Next week we will need some
carpenters and helpers. So far we
have only hired one carpenter and
one mason, we have been getting free
help for the rest. Most of the car
penters have promised us from one
to two or more days free labor.
We need lots of free help, if you
can help US day or two let me know

PINE PHILOSOPHY
By the PINE PHILOSOPHER

Laws are primarily made by the
will of the people and meant to be
the voice of that people. If the public
is educated to the point of accepting
that law, and are sold on the idea
that it is a good law, then violations
will be very few and of a minor ma
ture. If the law is forced on the
public, or if the public is not educated
to a point where they will accept it's
restrictions, then that law will even
tually be repealed or nullified through
constant violation.
Minnesota has been one of the lead
