COURT RULES FOR
 ADMINISTRATOR
Claim of $l3,OOO Ruled as Valid Against Mer=
 chant Trust Co
BY JUDGE PEASLEY

The story of Hindu who wrote in Arabic and spoke 10 different languages yet shrouded his life with cloak of mystery was un- folded In superior court today dur ing the hearing of a civil action in which an administrator of an es- state sought to establish a claim of $13,000 against the Merchants Trust Co. The action was brought by Attorney Nathaniel Grossman of Bridgeport, administrator of the estate of Abraham Hassent in which Grossman claimed two ac- counts on deposit in the Merchants Trust Co. were rightfully Has, sent's.
 The accounts at the local bank are on deposit under the names of Abramo Eggiziano and Michael Edn. Judge Frederick M. Peasley who heard the case ruled that the accounts of Eggiziano and Edn are one and the same and that those names were used by Hassent in making his deposits.
 Grossman testified was one of the most mysterious men in Bridgeport who practised crystal gazing, sooth-saying and fortune telling in addition to using herbs as a. cure for hundreds of people all over the country. He said he was acquainted with Hassent prior to the latters death in 1881 and was appointed administrator of his estate by the probate court in Bridgeport. Hassent was supposed of have a great deal of money but he could find no evidence of it in any of Hassent's belongings.
 He made Q diligent search and found the bank books on the Mer- chants Trust Co stuffed up in the chimney of an open fireplace in the house where Hassent lived on George street, Bridgeport.
 Hassent had many women ad- mirers and he had many clients who came to him for treatment by herbs. He often came to Water bury where he registered at the Jones Hotel on Bishop street.
 Grossman testified he used about 10 different names because he did not want people to know too much about him.

now in effect, those who have
bought or intend to buy tickets for
the George Courtney-Leo Larrivee
fight at the White City stadium.
Savin Rock, Monday night, will not
be called upon to pay the extra as
sessment, thus the popular prices
will still stand.
The new tax has not met with
ready favor among the sport fans
and as q result Matchmaker AL
Well, realizing the situation and
always one to give his followers q

pay the ten per cent tax on all
tickets for his opening show Of

Courtney has been attempting to

Strong Finish Among the
Leaders Is Expected
Sarazen Not So Good
by STUART CAMERON

Flushing, N. r., June 25.-(UP)
The boys shooting for the ma
tional open golf championship
reached the serious part Of their
play today, with three Of their
number holding gilt-edged chances
to win, and some IA more outside
possibilities.
The big three included T. Phillip
Perkins, Jose Jurado, and Olin
Dutra.
Perkins had an aggregate OF Las
as he came up for the third round
today. He equalled Dutra's par
shattering first day round of So
In yesterdays second attempt.
Jurado came up to the final day
with 74-71-145 to tie T. Phillip
for the lead.
DIN Dutra, who tipped around
in SO on Thursday, faltered coming
home late yesterday, scored a IL,
and was lodged one stroke back OF
Perkins and, Jurado.
1t Is q Guess!
Only the golfing gods know II
one of this trio can take the title.
Jurado looks like the bet, but Jose
has been known to falter when a
couple of straight pokes down the
fairway would have won him the
hurrahs OF the golf world and q
right smart piece Of change.
He came up to the final two
holes of the British open last year
needing nothing more than pair
of tolerable scores to win, but he
blew so badly that Tommy Armour
drifted away with the Oldest of the
golfing prizes.
On tho List
Other leading contenders are:
Leo Diegel of Aqua Caliente.
Mexico, who had two-round total
Of 147.
Walter Hagen Of Detroit. who
has been a champion before had a
total Of 148.

1t is advisable to stand fairly
erect with an open stance in maxi
ing chip shots. A firm grip must
be maintained.
As in the putt, the backswins
will vary according to the dis
lance. Usually 1t will be short, for
the chipping distance nearly al
ways Is short.
Give the left hand chance to
guide the club by keeping the
hands In line with the stroke. The
stroke must be executed smoothly
to avoid jabbing at the ball.
The clubhead should be kept
close to the ground. hitting the
ball cleanly and accurately as 1t
sweeps through. No turf Is neces-
sary.
A players tendency to raise the
head Is greater in this shot, SO be
extra careful to keep your head
down.
