Bill Bassett, F. Wayne Youth, Is
Indiana'S New Amateur Links King
BY DICK MILLER

Billy Bassett, Fl. Wayne youth
and former Purdue university golf
star, occupied the throne of Indi-
ana amateur golf today, the result
of conquering a field of $50 at Ham
mond last week.
Bassett cinched the title with a
up victory over Phil Talbot,
Bloomington, former Indiana uni
versity linksman, in the final
thirty-six hole match Saturday.
The TT. Wayne boy ascends the
throne after three attempts. He
reached the semi-finals one year,
and the quarter-f1nals last year.
Talbot has been in the classic
four times, reached the quarter
finals once, failed to qualify an
other and last year and this cap
tured the runner up prize.
IT was thrilling match from
l. start to finish. Bassett, cratic
with his putter on the first nine.
was 2 down, but won four holes of
the second morning nine, when Tai
bolt was wild on the greens, to go
2 up at the halfway point. Bas-
sett had 40-35-75, Talbot a
37-40-77.
The new champion fired even par
Sc on the first afternoon nine, but
lost his lead when Talbot fired a
"a to square the match. Bassett
stepped out on the last nine, and,
with two holes to go, was up. Tai
bott birdied on the thirty fifth hole
to win, but blew a. chance to knot
the match by taking a to halve
the thirty sixth.
nNE of the largest galleries ever
~ to follow a state amateur
championship final match was on
hand. Old grads CT both Purdue
and Indiana, and those who know
what a contest between athletes
from these schools is at any time,
were on hand.
Bassett had ISL for the 36-hole
match and Talbot 153.

Ernest Zee Jahncke, Assistant Secre'

dent Hoover had carried out all the
pledges of the 1928 Republican platform
and would stand on this record In
seeking reelection in November.
Addressing the University OF Mlcnl-
gan Union, the little cabinet" ofnceI
praised the administration emergency
relief program and inquired, "Who
among the Democratic potentialities
would have had the vigor, the courage
and ability and the intelligence te
formulate and carry through the Hoover
prcgram?"
Predicting Mr.. Hoover's reelection
the speaker said the Democratic party
was torn with dissension on such issues
as tariff, immigration, fiscal policies ano
other matters" and would conduct the
coming campaign almost exclusively
on the theory that because we nave
suffered economic reverses the people
will turn against the party in power"

new DAVIS TRIAL
Counsel Expected to Ask That Sem

IA With Others.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 10.-Call of the
Federal lottery case against United
States Senator James j. Davis was put
over today until tomorrow because Of
the Jewish holidays.
The Davis case was interrupted a
week ago with the declaration OF mis-
trial after a iuror-Henry F. Moore
had called upon defense attorney to
tell him that another juror was put
ting in the poison against your side"
Government attorneys indicated that
when the case is called for retrial to-
morrow, they will ask that Davis be
tried with three other defendants on
November a.
The charges involve charity balls
conducted by the Loyal Order of Moose
in 1880 and 1881, the Government con-
tending Nation wide lotteries were con-
Quoted in connection with them. Sem
ator Davis is lifetime director general
of the Moose.
During the two weeks of his first trial
his counsel contended he had nothing
to do with the alleged lotteries. The
Government showed that some Of the
money taken in from the charity balls
went to the Moose organization depart
ment, which ostensibly was owned by
Davis. The latter's defense introduced
testimony to show that Davis crgan-
ization contract had been sold to Joseph
A. jenkins and Fred w. Jones, the
transaction being oral.
Severance for Davis first trial was
granted because he sought immediate
vind;cation from the charges before
continuing with his campaign for re-
election to the Senate from Pennsyl-
vania. With the declaration Of mis-
trial further hearing before the election
on November was deemed impractical
by both the Government and the de-
fense.

The mine was closed when pickets of

Montana and Wyoming stockmen and
farmers today looked out on fields OF
white-a life blood snowstorm for field
and farm in the two States which had
experienced 30-day drought.
Snow fell again In Colorado. Wis
consin and Minnesota had their first
snow this Autumn, accompanied by
near-freezing temperatures.
Lincoln, Nebr, had its first snow OF
the season, light one that melted as
fast as it fell.
Transportation and communication
facilities generally were undamaged in
the snow area, but a spot of bad flying
weather between Cheyenne and Laramie
in Wyoming caused air officials to take
passengers by bus between the two
points
Temperatures generally hovered just
above or below freezing, but Montana
reported a new record low. At Helena
the thermometer showed 1877 degrees
above zero early yesterday. The pre-
vious lc-v for October in the So years
of weather records was in 1919, when
the reading was 16.l above.
Southeastern Montana received the
heaviest snowfall, while all Southern
Wyoming and Northern Colorado were
blanketed Denver had cold rain,
which was followed by light snow
which melted rapidly.
The storm, except for the record low
temperature at Helena, has no unusual
aspects Montana weather records
show snowfall in their State in each
month of the year at some time in the

GENEVA REPORT DENIED.
Britain Disavows Pledge to Support
Germany's Arms Equality Claims

LONDON, October 10 (R).-An en-
phatic official denial was made by
Downing Street of a report from Geneva
printed in a London newspaper saying
Great Britain had pledged her support
to Germany's claims.
Nothing whatever is known here of
such pledge, the Downing Street
statement said, and it added that such
reports were calculated to arouse sus-
picions and to encourage harmful in
luences at time when it appeared q
settlement Of the armament problem
was hopeful.
Prime Minister Macdonald was de-
scribed as particularly disturbed by the
report, which officials here said they
considered particularly wicked" at this
time
The fate Of the proposed four-power
conference now probably hangs on the
forthcoming conference between NJ.
Herriot and Macdonald.
