What Is the surest way of getting out of bunkcrs?
 The average golfer neglects this department of play A large percentage of players will prac- tice wood and iron shots and putting but rarely do you encounter one practicing bunker shots.
 Bobby Jones believes the surest way of getting out of g bunker is to rely entirely on the explosion. To make the explosion shot, imbed the feet, firmly in the sand, tilt the face of the club well back to prevent driving the ball either into the bunker or over the green, and take comfortable swing. hitting about an inch behind the ball. It isn't Itec- essary to lunge at the ball or to take q ton of sand.

ConstcrIlation

; 2. {. The other week Dazzy Vance signed his name to pitch for tho Brooklyn Robins for five months or so,s at a salary of $23,0O0. That amounts to more than $4,000 per month. Newspapers carried the headline, VANCE SIGNS BUT IS SORE You might wonder just what he is sore about.
 | He is sore because he didn't sign for $25,000, gentle readers. He is sore $2,00O worth. That's, roughly speaking, about two weeks worth of work. If a commentator wished to be mean, he might leap up and shout that Vance lost 15 great big ball games for Brooklyn last year. while winning 17. and that if he had. been, able to beat young Lefty Hallahan in that l to o pitching duel that changed the pennant course aof 1880. Brooklyn might have won the. pennant. But why should a commentator be mean to a great old guy like Dazz?

Defamation

Lou Gehrig has the floor. Says he:
 Lefty Gomez is going to be a greater pitcher than Lefty Grove. Why? Because he $ smarter than Grove. Grove is a fast ball pitcher. He pitches the same way to Ruth that he pitches to Eddie Morgan. Just fast ones. Gomez makes every batter a separate study, and he has whale of a memory.'
 If one were inclined to argue with Lou, one might say that If a pitcher has 2 fast ball the boys can't see, why should he study. mightn't one?

HOuR.GLASS IS SYMBOL OF MODERN ROASTING METHOD
Accuracy Is Assured in Con- trolled Roasting = Hills Bros.' Patented Process
 for Roasting Coffee

Better than anything else, an hour-glass symbolizes the exactnesss of Hills Bros patented, Controlled Roasting process. For as the ac- curacy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow :. |. a little at time :. so the wonder full, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros: Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, contlnu- ously e little at time.
 This is very different from or dinary, bulk-roasting methods. The results are very different too. You .an judge them yourself, if you com pare Hills Bros. with other cofees. Hills Bros. has a finer, uniform flavor. Roasting it a little at time makes this possible. For every berry receives the right amount of heat. None is underdone. none IS |overdone. The same delightful fla vor is assured in every pound. Bulk roasted coffee can't guarantee these things. No wonder Hills Bros. Cor. fee has and holds so many friends
 Hills Bros. Coffee comes in vac |uum cans that keep it fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary, lair tight" :" cans won't keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.

 TOM SAWYER
Jackie Coogan Has Title Role in Play Founded
 on Mark Twain Story

With Grumpy starring Cyril Maude, showing for the last times tonight at the Coliseum theatre, Tom Sawyer" with Jackie Coogan in the title role, will be the head line attraction tomorrow night.
 Grumpy" is the story of a grouchy but benevolent old man, retired criminal lawyer who lives with his charming granddaugh.e near London. The action of the play begins on a week end when there are two young men guests at the home of Grumpy.
 Both Love Virginia
 Both these visitors are in love with Virginia, the granddaughter. One of them, Heron, is in possess sion of very valuable diamond which he is taking to merchant in London from his employers in South Africa.
 Jarvis, the other guest, is so- ciety neer-do-well.
 During the night Heron IS at- tackled and robbed of the diamond, Suspicion is thrown on Jarvis, but no proof of his guilt can be found Grumpy leads in the sleuthing, which takes him to London and back to his home again in the amusing but thrilling pursuit of the villain. The canny and canker- ous old man finally gets the cul- prit and the stolen property, and Phillips Holmes as Heron gets the girl, Frances Dade.
 Authors of Original Play
 The original play was written by Horace Hodges and Thomas Wigney Percyval. Doris Anderson authored the screen version.
 Tom Sawyer" Paramount pie ture, is based on Mark Twain's fla nous book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" In the screen yer sion of the story, Jackie Coogan and Mitzi Green are the heavy lovers.
 The photoplay, like the book, abounds in humorous lines and sit- nations.

MYSTERY PLAY
 TO GIVE WAY TO
 JOYOUS COMEDY
"Dracula" Will Be Follow
 ed by "Cohens and Kel- lys in Africa

"Dracula," uncanny mystery dra- ma, will be presented for the last times tonight at the Capitol the
 ater. 'The Cohens and Kellys in Africa" hilarious comedy. will be
 the featured attraction tomorrow might.
 "Dracula" is a weird story, and the settings of the play are in &C.,
 cordance with the theme. Massive scenic effects show chambers in an advanced state of disorder, with stone balustrades and pillars fallen into disordered ruins, and the en- I'tire festooned with cob-webs. There are hair-raising incidents in graveyard, with a female INvampire, risen from her grave, wan dering disconsolately among the tombstones. Opening sequences
 depict a picturesque inn in the mountains of Pennsylvania, and a rocky mountain pass on a foggy night, with wolves bowling in the darkness.
 Storm at Sea After the story is transferred to England, involving a terrible storm at sea, many scenes are laid in an ancient Abbey leased by Dracula- a location which in it's ruined con- struction is greatly reminiscent of the castle in Pennsylvania. The Cohens and Kellys in Af"
 rica" is funny story about two
 piano manufacturers with their
 wives on an ivory hunting expedi-
 ton in Africa. Charley Murray and
 George Sidney have the leading
 roles supported by Vera Gordon
 and Kate Price.
 Native Village Constructed
 A wooded area on Universals 350-
 acre studio lot in Hollywood was
 transformed into a jungle with
 native village of more than 35
 palm thatched huts, especially con-
 structed for scenes of this new
 comedy. The village was built to
 accommodate 280 natives. The set
 ting was patterned after an Afri-
 can jungle village photographed by the director in 1927.

better Despite late start he has hit nearly score of homers, while his seasons average around .340 put him right up among the lead- ing hitters in the senior circuit.
 Even more spectacular than Half. ey's improvement has been the comeback of Sunny Jim" Bottom ley, whose late-season slump ha-. rassed him thro u g o ut the 1930 season.
 Against Athletic pitchers he was able to scratch one hit in 9 times at bat for the sad average of .045.
 This season he has led the Ma tional league in batting on several occasions, playing his old position at first base with all his former dash.

 He is out to show Jimmy F'oxx, whose .333 average was one of the best in last years series, that some times they do come back-better than ever.
 Mickey Cochrane, Connie Mack's star receiver, ordinarily swats the ball at faster clip than Jimmy Wilson, although the latter's .3l8 mark last season was hardly to his discredit.
 In the series Cochrane hit not often but nightly, finding Grimes and Rhem for homers that helped win the first two games.
 In the field there is little to choose among the rivals. All had perfect records in the 1880 series with the exception of Cochrane, who was charged with one error an average of 967.
