NAVAL DELEGATES
TACKLE DEADLOCK
U. S., British and Japanese
Meet, With Prospects
for Harmony Dim.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 1.-Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan held
their first joint session of the naval
discussion today at a luncheon, with
Premier Ramsay Macdonald presiding.
The talk began a new phase of the
conversations, with the delegations
now seeking some way of reconciling
their principles ard breaking the pres
ent deadlock.
A meeting between the japanese and
the American delegates yesterday was
entirely inconclusive, 1t was stated, out
the groups agreed that conversations
among the three powers should be
continued until every possible road
leading to a compromise had been
explored.
At the same time the three dele
cations admitted there was little ap-
parent hope Of an agreement.
United States Rejects Proposal.
At Yesterdays meeting the japanese
told the Americans that recognition
of the principle of equality would not
mean Japan would start building ships
Immediately, but the Americans de-
clined to consider even the possibility
of giving Nippon equality on the in
stallment" plan.
A British spokesman was as little
sympathetic toward the proposal.
Much of the session was given over
to lengthy explanations Of the Japa-
nese suggestions. in the course OF
which they insisted security was i'm
possible under the present arrange
ment and advocated both equality and
reduction or abolition Of offensive
ships.
This started discussion Of what con-
stitutes offensive ships, the Americans
declining to accept the Japanese idea
that aircraft carriers, battleships and
large cruisers are, in that order, the
most offensive weapon, while the sub
marine is defensive.

FEDERAL RESERVE
BANK LOANS DROP
Indebtedness of Members
at Lowest Point
in 20 Years.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 1.-Member
bank Indebtedness to the Federal Re-
serve banks has slowly dwindled in
recent months until 1t now stands at
the lowest point in 20 years.
The almost complete eradication of
bank borrowing is an unusual feature
Of the past year or two, one which
escapes much comment because of its
negative Importance But it would
be necessary to go back to the earliest
days of the Federal Reserve System to
find total as low as the current $1O,-
864, 900 of bills discounted for member
banks.
On March 8, 1888, at the height of
the CRISIS when every bank in the
country closed its doors, member in
StitutionS owed the Federal Reserve
banks 81 1,414,00 900, one of the larg-
est totals on record This debt they
had accumulated through frantic dis
counting of liquid assets in an effort
to meet the currency runs which swept
the Nation and precipitated the bank
ing holiday.
SAT-, ,0O0,0O0 Bills Bought.
In addition, the Reserve banks held
on that date $417,000.000 of bills
bought in the open market and ST.
881 ,0O0,0 of Government securities
On october "a, 1884, the Reserve
banks held, in addition to only S10,-
864,000 of discounted paper, SIS 1898, 900
of open market bills and S2,430, POI 900
of Government securities.
Strangely enough, the bulk Of the
debt now owed by member banks is
held in the New York district, ordi-
narily the one with the least borrow
ing relative to its size. The total debt
of second district banks currently
amounts to S6,092,000
Back in the calm, unruffled days of
1926 and 1927 borrowings by member
$500, 100000 to $500, 0,000,0 900 were con-
Sidered perfectly normal.
Loan Demand Evaporates.
The current figures have a double
significance. Not only do they reveal
the nearly complete evaporation of the
demand for loans, but also illustrate
the position of the banking system in
striking manner.
The discount figures indicate that
the plethora of idle banking cash is
not concentrated in large cities but
has spread throughout the country
Small country banks ordinarily are the
largest borrowers from the Reserve
banks and carry the least reserves.
1t is not unusual for large city banks
to be out of debt to the Reserve banks
But since country institutions, too,
have wiped out their borrowings. it
appears that they also are suffering
from the piling up of unlendable re-
sources.
The liquid position Of the small
rural banks speaks well for the finan-
cial strength of the banking structure
but i'll for the Nations business.

The White House always
passes off the problem by saying it is
evolutionary, meaning probably that
it is unexplainable now. Others are

These poses are apparently being
maintained temporarily so that the

HAAS, IS, ANNEXES
DIXIE GOLF CROWN
Son of Pro AmazeS, Rivals
Jones' Feat in Beating
Perry, 10 and 8.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
N JEW ORLEANS, June 23.-
M In one of the most amaz-
" ing upsets of the Dixie
4 season, Fred Haas, jr.,
slender 18-year-old New Orleans
boy, today smothered the vet
eran Sam Perry of Birmingham,
10 and 8, to win the Southern
amateur golf championship.
Seventeen years ago they crowned
the l5-year-old boy wonder Bobby
Jones-as Southern king. In win
ming today Haas became the second
youngest player ever to win the title,
In some respects Haas victory was
more astonishing than that OF Jones
in 1917. for this was his first South
ern meet. he possessed no other than
local repute and he barely slipped into
the championship flight after a ragged
qualifying round.
Son of professional and l. a
player himself for a dozen years,
reared on the Colonial course here
Haas fired such spectacular brand
of golf that Perry. only 26 and holder
of previous Southern titles in 1929
and 1892, failed to win a single hole
in the morning round.
Haas gained 9 up advantage
which he maintained through the
first nine holes Of the afternoon
closing Perry out or the twenty-eighth
hole for the most smashing victory
since Jones beat Ewing Watkins of
Chattanooga, 10 and 9, in 1920.

Hagens favorite preserve, but Sara
zen PLAYED perhaps the greatest golf
of his life when he won next door at
Princes with 283, and in 1928 he was
second to Hagen, losing a desperate
race by two strokes.
If Sarazen is in form, then for my
self I shall not even in such field
greatly expect any one else to win
In 1882 he lowered above the rest and
at st. Andrews last year he was, with
all possible respect to Shute, the best
golfer there, and only lost through two
gratuitously disastrous holes at which
he hurled away strokes in prooigal
handfuls. st. Georges is a course to
suit him because, assuming it TO be
its proper length, it needs and repays
power.

will rest on Padgham. Cotton and

Cotton was second and mis- was a re-
markable performance, for he began
by throwing himself out of the nunt

had three successive scores in the Cos.
OF course, these three names by no
means exhaust British hopes. R. A..

him to win at At. He missed his

NEW RECORD SEEN
FOR ST. GEORGES
Hagen'S 292 Held Certain
to Fall as LoW-SCoring
Orgy Is Predicted.
BY BERNARD DARWIN,
British Golf Expert.

= ANDWICH, England, June
- 23.-The British open
championship begins Mon
- day in perhaps the richest
corner of the golfng world,
where the three Kentish cham
pionship courses - Rova' st.
Georges. Princes and Royal
Cinque Ports-ioStle one an
other.
St, Georges and Princes are at
Sandwich, and the Royal Cinque
Ports is more generally known as Deal
but a man may hit uninterrupted
golf shots from one to the other In
deed it is recorded that the famous
Freddie TAFT once backed himself
with guilty ball to play from the
St. Georges club house to the Deal
club house in 40 shots, teeing his
ball. and won his bet with a final
stroke that broke the Deal windows
and frightened the housemaid out of
her wits.
On this occasion the championship
itself will be played on the links of
st. Georges and the two qualifying
rounds will be at st. Georges and
Deal, each competitor playing one
round on each course.
At the present moment Britain, like
all the rest of the world, apparently
is suffering from a drought and I am
afraid that unless nature takes a
violent hand in the game, the courses
may be too hard and fast and the
ball may run so far as to make a
fool of par.

Nee's 80 ON Last Nine, in a 67
Round, Sets Columbia Record

Maury played the last nine holes at
Columbia in 80 strokes, which consti-
tutes q new amateur record from the
back tees, and played the entire
course in 81 strokes to tie Ernie Cald-
wells official course record made last
year. Nee bagged an eagle and three
brides in his ar-shattering stretch
on the last nine, corralling the eagle
on the par 5 twelfth hole, where he
knocked in 10-foot putt for a 3. He
subsequently holed brides on the thir-
teenth, sixteenth and seventeenth
holes and played the other holes
in par.
Here is his card, against par, for
the nine:
Par ..............4 445 344 344-35
Nee ..............4 443 244 $3.50
That last nine at Columbia has
been played in IS strokes by Leo
Diegel in a famous match several
years ago when L;.rruping Leo came
home in 29 to wi a fair-sized bet
from Guy Standifer. But Nee's score
of 80 is the first time an amateur
has made such a mark from the back
tees. Leo's 29 wIc made from the
middle tees.

by w. R. ms CALLuM

Washington for several years and
never has figured to any great ex-
tent. But by steady and consistent
practice, and hard work on her game
she came to the District champion
ship right at The crest. She had
scored an IS at Manor last week, a
performance that was the tip-of on
how good she is.
But none gave her more than a
fighting chance against Betty P.
Mackley in the first round. She went
out against Mrs. Mackley and licked
the former champion. Then against
Mrs. Ora Emge, the Beaver Dam title
holder, she won on the twentieth hole.
And she followed by whipping Mrs.
Betty MacKenZie-one of the favor
ties for the title-on the sixteenth
green in the semi-final.
Mrs. Pray'S courageous stand is one
of the most inspiring bits of golf that
has come along in many years. 1t
proves again that any competitor.
given time to practice and the will
to work, can go far in golf.
A nice touch came on the final day
of the tournament in the form of a
lengthy telegram from Mrs. j. Marvin
Haynes, the 1888 champion, con-
graduating the new champion on her
achievement. Mrs. Haynes intends to
spend the Summer at Lake Tahoe in
California.
'TISN'T often that hole is halved
in brides, even in these days
of fast courses when a golf
ball goes far on the hard fairway of
Summer. But when three players all
get brides on the same hole and the
other member of the foursome bags
a birdie on the next one, that's news.
Over at Washington a few days
ago Calvert Dickey, Milton R. West
colt. DR.. T. j. Rice and Dorie c.
Gruver were deadlocked in a tight
match. The last three all secured
brides on the par 4 seventeenth hole
and Dickey came along on the eight
eenth to win the match for he and
Rice with a birdie on the eighteenth.
Try and get bird on the eighteenth
hole some day. It's tough, but it's
tougher when you can't win the seven
teenth with Dlrd.

First womens team matches will be
played at Columbia on Saturday. with
possibility that Chevy Chase, now
leading in the chase for the team
title, may gain an unassailable lead
which cannot be overcome in the two
remaining matches. Chevy Chase
will play Columbia, last years cham

lumbia will muster all its strength in
a last-ditch fight to overhaul its rival.
In other matches Congressional will
meet Army-Navy, Kenwood will clash
with Woodmont and Indian Spring
will meet Washington.
One of the high spots of the week
will be the funfest annually staged
at Washington club by the Maryland
State Golf Association, known to the
divot-digging trade as the mixed
Scotch fourSome. Originally sched-
uled for Congressional next Thurs
day, it will be transferred to Colum-

and there doesn't seem to be any
other girl capable of stopping the
march of the Pope-Dettweiler COM
bination. Betty Keeler, the public
links champion, would be threat if
she was accustomed to playing long
golf courses, but the 1.-THE little lass
from Rock Greek Park isn't used to
those lengthy second shots. The girls
will play SO holes-18 on Thursday
and 18 more on Friday-for the title.
On Friday a field of about 20 pro-
fessionals from this sector will gather
at Kenwood to compete for three
qualifying places in the national P.
G. A. championship. Bobby Cruick-
shank, the smooth swinging little Scot
from Richmond who should have won
the national open two weeks ago, and
Al Houghton, Kenwood pro, will be
favorites to win two of the places,
with the other spot wide open between
such sterling Shot-makers as Bob
Barnett Of Chevy Chase, Mel Shorey
of East Potomac Park and Ralph
Beach and Glenn Spencer of Baltl-
