ATEST LAFAYETTE, Ind, July
w 19.-When the annual state
amateur championship tournament
.convenes at French Lick, Aug. 20, it
is very likely that the four junior
players who reached the semi-finals
of state championship held here this
week will be on hand.
They are Harold Brewer, West
Lafayette; Tom Marshall, Culver;
Earl Hudlin, Bloomington, and Bob
Hamilton, Evansville. There is a
possibility of a fifth member-either
Bill Reed Jr. or Bill Russell, both of
indianapolis. It will depend on
whether either one of them can win
the playoff for the medalist honors
tomorrow.
A COUPLE of years ago at Ham
N mond, Ind, when juniors more
or less took charge of the state
amateur event, the officers went in
to executive session. Men who sand
wiched their golf in with their
business life had a hard time Of
matching links efforts with lads
who practically lived on golf courses
the summer through.
Then, too, these boys who golfed
all the time in most cases had little
or no money to exist on when at
the tournaments and the result was
boys sleeping in autos, under straw
stacks and eating bite here and a
bite there. It was developing a lot
of 'moochers" among the coming
golf generation. Naturally the boys
wanted. to take part in these big
tournaments and they we're willing
to make any sort of sacrifices TO get
there.
The executive board decreed that
since there was a we'll organized In
diana Junior Golf Association which
holds an annual tournament each
year, it might be good idea to
limit the junior entries in the
senior state amateur event to five.
These are the four semi-f1nalists
in the junior tournaments and the
medaliSt if he happens not to be one
of the semi-fnaliStS.
MONDAY in the qualifying
1V1 round of the state junior play
Harold Brewer, Reed and Russell
tied for the medal honors with 74S.
Russell was eliminated in a first
round match Tuesday and Reed in
the second-round match on the
same day. Brewer battled his way
through the Semi-finals and en-
gagged in the final match today with
Tom Marshall, Culver.
The trio has been ordered by the
officials in charge to play off the
tie Friday morning. If Brewer wins
there will be only four juniors eligi-
BILE for the state amateur, but if
either Reed or Russell wins then
there will be five
After watching the junior play
this week, we are sorry that at least
the four losing quarter-flnalists are
not eligible, too. They played great
golf and any one of them looked
like a champion. All they lacked
were the breaks needed to win.
This is the tenth annual Junior
tournament and in looking back
over the records we find that in
only three tournaments we're In
dianapolis boys unable to make the
final match. They were in 1924,
1926 and 1927. Since then the cap
ital city boys have been PRETTY
much in evidence around the tour
naments. The fact that no Indian
apolis boy was able to reach the
semi-flnalS of this years event must
irk somebody. Still, the two capital
city boys who reached the quarter
finals we're called upon to battle
two Of the best in the state and
their defeats do not need apologies.

first pitch to Hauser was to the

it out of the park. Hence Weinert
lost the game on one pitched ball.

QUESTIONS in
REGARDS TO
HOUSING ACT
Explanations AS To How Loans
For Housing Improvement
Can Be Made
WHERE TO WRITE FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION

In connection with the National
Housing Act, the question is often
asked:
"It's all very nice, but where am !
going to get the money to do all the
little things I want to do around my
own home? 2"
Uncle Sam is ready with an an
swer to that question with the plan
set forth in the National Housing Act.
This Act sets up a financing plan
which is the simplest and most liberal
in the history Of American banking.
It enables you to walk into a bank
and borrow money without putting up
any security or having any endorsers
or co-makers. The only conditions
are that you have good credit stand
ing in the community and show that
your income is sufficient to make
monthly payments without hardships.
The money you borrow is not gov
eminent money. It is the banks
money. All the government does is
to guarantee the bank against loss
through this form of loan. In other
words, Uncle Sam having faith in you
as a citizen, is willing in effect to
60 on your note. Uses you can make
Of the money you borrow are not
limited merely to home improvements.
Business properties, farm properties,
ranches, summer homes-practically
everything which puts the building
industry to works included.
Mr.. Ounce Ashburn, Chairman Of
Worcester County Committees, has
prepared the following brief summary
of the provisions Of the Act regard
ing financing Of repairs and improve
ments.
Answering the question "Who is
eligible for 1oans?" 1. Any owner Of
improved real property-home or
business building. 2. Whether prop
erty is mortgaged or not. 3. Pro-
viding there are no past due obliga-
tons, interest, taxes, liens, etc. A.
Credit standing satisfactory to lend
ing agency. s. Owners must have
annual income at least five times the
annual payments assumed under the
loan.

FREEZING MEN
DIG in SAND
FOR PROTECTION
Ocean City Duck Hunters Ma
rOOned On Island In Sine
puxent Bay

A rather novel way to escape death
was made use Of by two Ocean City
duck hunters Trimper, Bird
and Hugh T. Chopper.
These men went down Sinepuxent
Bay, moored their motor boat as near
to an island as they could, and navi-
gated the remainder Of the intervening
water in small boat.
When they started on their return,
they found the small craft had been
torn from the stake to which it had
been tied, and the hunters were left
without any means Of reaching the
power boat.
The weather was freezing cold; no
driftwood on the island, and the icy
cold water between them and the big
motor boat. In order to keep their
blood in circulation they ran back and
forth on the sandy shore; but finding
matters getting worse they conceived
the idea of digging in" By some
method, not altogether explained, they
scooped out a hole in the sand big
enough to contain their bodies, crawl
ed into the hole, and in manner,
pulled the hole in after them; that is,
they covered themselves with sand.
Then they made a covering for their
heads with box which they had used
for their decoys, and in this condition
awaited help.
This came in the person Of Craw-
ford Savage who, learning Of the alb
sence of the two men, started search
for them. They were discovered in
their sorry plight Sunday morning,
exhausted and almost frozen, and de-
claring they believed the end would
have come had they been compelled
to spend the night in their cave of
sand.

MORRO CASTLE
SLOWLY BEING
TOWED TO SEA

Much to the relief of Asbury Park,
the sober resort, the charred hulk of
the Moro Castle, beached for three
months in the city's front yard, is
moving seward slowly.
Each foot it moves-they count their
gains now-is good news to the city,
which is now as anxious to get rid
of the fire-scarred ship as it once
was to rent, buy or borrow it for a
museum"
Asbury Park has come to appre-
ciate the experience Of the man who
woke up one morning after a storm
to find a whale stranded on the sands
in front of his summer seashore cot
tage.
The ship, like the whale, was prof
table attraction for few days but
like the whale, the ship soon began
to get unbearable. Now the MORO
Castle is considered not only an eye
sore but a menace as well.
In the holds of the once luxurious
Ward liner, which burned off the Jer-
sey coast the morning Of Septem-
Der 8 with loss Of 124 lives ARE rot
ting hides and thousands Of gallons
Of oil. Some of the hides have been
unloaded, and the stencil isn't quite
so disagreeable as it was when east
winds blow. The oil apparently can
do no harm unless the ship should
break up in which event Asbury Park
fears it's beach would be ruined.
The ships stern, says Capt. Her.
bert r. Foster, in charge of salvage
operations, has moved seward about
IS feet since the work started about
a month ago. The job is in the hands
of Merritt Chapman and Scott, New
York Salvaging Company, which was
awarded a contract for $4,000 by
the War Department to remove the
hulk and tow it to New York.
Six heavy cables stretch from steam
winches on the starboard side Of the
ship to $500 pound anchors 1900 feet
at sea. When rough seas batter the
hulk, the heavy anchors, each capable
Of pulling 80 tons, tend to tug the ship
seward. The winches turn slowly
and take up the slack SO that the adj
vantage gained will not be lost.
Captain Foster, lanky overalled d.
rector of the job, isn't ready yet to
give the order to get up all steam.
He'll do that "when the time comes"
but no one knows, he says, whether
that will be weke or a month hence.
At the present moment, his crew OF
81 is busy cleaning the ship of the
debris that litters the decks and MAX
ing final preparations to "pull away"
When the shines comes, an east
wind will be kicking up heavy sea.
Two tugs, the Willett and the Reso-
lutte, will be pulling on the ships
stern, striving to get in 500 feet out
where it will float.
Fear that the ship might break in
half arose when it was discovered

room amidship, crumpled from the
incessant pounding Of the sea. Water

Record Blast To Be
 Fired At Anyox Mine

What is claimed will be the largest mining blast the world has ever known will be fired at Anyox toward the end of the present month, according to reports from that point.
 One hundred tons of dyna- mite will be exploded in the Hidden Creek mine, two miles from Anyox and is expected to break a half million tons of rock in one giant convulsion of the earth. Some of the pow der charges will be exploded eight hundred feet below the surface, but most of it will ex- ert its shattering forces at depths around four hundred feet.
 The giant blast, for which preparations have been under way for the past year, is de- signed as a cheap means of cleaning up old workings in the Hidden Creek mine, from which much ore has already been taken. Miles of wiring will be employed in discharg- ing the masses of dynamite in the old workings. The firing will be done from Anyox.
 To prevent possible accidents from the blast, the entire Ipopu- lation of Hidden Creek village, numbering around 1000, will temporarily evacuate h e camp.

Duck Hunting Season Closes

The 1884 duck hunting seas oncame to an end last Monday and further shooting of migra- tory waterfowl is now illegal.
 Game taken during the open season must be used up by Mo- vember 15 under the regula- tions, which permit possession for ten days after the close of the season.
 The season extended over period of ten weeks, with Sat urdays, Sundays and Mondays open for shooting during each weekly period, the remaining days of the week being closed.
 The system was inaugurated for the first time this year and apparently has been satisfact- ory to game hunters.

Governor Troy In Hospital

Governor John w. Troy of Alaska, who left recently fer a vacation in California, is now in a Seattle hospital, according to late advices.
 It is said that the governor has not been in the best of health recently but is more in need of a rest than medical assistance. However, it is his intention to undergo a thor ough clinical examination while taking a two-weeks rest in the hospital.
