Her Stages Private Pin Tourney Urges Uniform Woen Golf Handicap
PAR AND AVERAGE
|. IS !. s. c. A. BASIS
Also Rules Player Cannot

Unfit for Play.
BY WALTER E. McCALLUM.

BY WALTER E. McCALLUM.
1.-TWO rulings and decisions i'm
portant to the golf world to-
day were handed down by the
United States Golf Association
which may have considerable bearing
on the conduct Of women's golf tour.
naments around Washington and to
future championship affairs staged in
this country.
One was recommendation by the
Women's Committee of the U. s. G. A.
to all women's golf associations in the
United States Of uniform system Of
handicapping based on course yard
age.
The other was correction of an "er-
roneous" impression, apparently wide
in extent" that a player is the sole
judge of whether ball has been SO
damaged as to be unfit for play.
In the first case the association rec
commended a definite basis Of handi-
Gaping, something that has not been
done before. In the second case the
ruling takes out of the hands Of the
player the right to decide whether a
ball is unfit for play, and puts that
right in the hands of the referee. In
the absence Of a referee, the commit
tee must decide the question.
How to Determine Par.
On the womens handicap matter,
the association retains the old scale Of
yardage: namely. that women's par Is
to be determined as follows: Holes up
to 200 yards, par 3; holes from 20l
yards up to 375 yards, par 4; from 376
yards to $50 yards, par 5. and 551
yards and over, par 6. Working from
this par and yardage basis, the ma
tional golf body recommends that not
more than three scores shall be used
from one course; that the handicap be
figured by taking four-fifths of the
difference between the average Of
women's par and the average Of the
best scores; that the fraction of one
half and over to count as a stroke, un-
der one-half be dropped, and that an
CA(CROAOAAaA cNO4C may NC 0AoA 0CAs
In order to put teeth in the new
recommendations the association de-
clared that handicaps not figured by
the system outlined shall not be ac-
cepted by the Women's Committee Of
the U. S. @. S. for the women's ma
tional championship.
Likely to Adhere Here.
A LII handicaps of six or less. for en-
n try in the national, must be
cleared through the sectional as
sociation which has representative
on the Women's Committee. The
Women's District Golf Association,
which has a very efficient handicap
sytem, probably will adopt this new
schedule.
For many years popular custom has
decreed that the player is the sole
judge Of whether ball may be con-
sidered unfit for play. II he finds his
ball in a bunker with a deep cash in
it, he might place another ball in the
same spot. This custom has become
legal through rule "a, which states
that IF a ball be so damaged as to
be unfit for play, the player may
change it on intimating to his op-
ponent his intention to do So" But
all this now is changed.

knowledge all the squatters with
the exception of the two exempted
had left when ordered " do so.
A. H. Mcclure, Yuma attorney,
visited The Press office yesterday
and declared the squatters had not
left the land under dispute and
that he is applying for an extern
sion of the stay of execution which
expires Thursday, in order to have
time to prepare brief asking that
the judgment ordering the eviction
be vacated.
He asserted further that he had
sent the notice of the original stay
of Judgment to Eggleston. The lat
ter explains that he recognizes only
orders from the U. S. marshaps Of
flee at Los Angeles and refused to
comment on the Yuma mans
statement. Further, he stated, he
has received no notice of stay OF
execution from the marshal's Of
flee.
Whether the squatters are "out'
or in" appears to be as much in
dispute as jurisdiction over the
famous Mr.. Hopson.

KARPIS MADE
TIRE ATS TO
KILL HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. U.P)-
Alvin Karpis, long-sought public
enemy No. l, has sent a communi-
munication to Director j. Edgar
Hoover of the federal bureau of in
vestigation, threatening the life of
the chief "G man." the justice de-
partment revealed today.
The threat was received by Hoov-
er about month ago, but was kept
secret until today while agents
sought to trace it as new clue in
their relentless hunt for Karpis.
Officials declined to reveal any
details of the communication or
how it was transmitted. They re-
fused to comment on reports that
it was contained in a letter mailed
from OttumWa, Iowa.
Of the leaders of bands of rov-
ing, fast-shooting criminals that
Hoover's men started to run down
and exterminate two years ago, Kar-
pis is virtually the only major one
still at large.
He has been hunted since Janu-
airy, 1884, as a ringleader in the
kidnapping Of Edward Bremen in st.
Paul, MINI. Later he shot his way
out of police trap in Atlantic
City, N. j. He is believed since
then to have ducked from one hide
out to another in various parts of
the country.

FOR PRESENT
VIII Not Reply To Critics Until
He Starts Trip To Pacific Coast
In September
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt will open his coun-
ter attack on critics of the new
deal" when he proceeds to the Pa
cific coast next month and-con-
trary to recent reports-not before,
it was learned today in sources close
to the White House.
Until he travels westward, Mr..
Roosevelt is expected to maintain
his policy of silence regarding po-
litical developments, including the
demand of former President Hoover
that he make known what consti-
tutional changes he desires.
Some political experts had be-
lieved that in view of mounting
speculation ON the 1886 campaign
he would hit back next Saturday
night when he addresses the young
Democratic clubs of America over
national radio hook-up.
Instead, it was said, the Presi-
dent in his speech to the Milwaukee
meeting will emphasize advantages
that have accrued to the youth OF
America through operation of GER
tain administration policies, the re-
sponsibilities of youth in govern
ment and politics and perhaps give
a clue to further plans he might
have in mind for the rising gener-
alton.

Small Subsidy For

From Mexico City

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 20. UP
The federal government is granting
a quarter of a million peso subsidy
to Baja California which is said
to be facing bankruptcy, it was an
nounced today.
The appropriation was ordered
after appeals from Governor Olach-
ca of Lower California.
Reports at Mexicali today ex-
pressed disappointment at the small
amount of money allotted to Baja
California by the federal govern
ment to relieve the stringent, finan-
cial situation in the Northern Dis
trict.
Governor Olachea returned last
Saturday from Mexico City, where
he is reported to have asked for a
sum considerably larger than that
granted, explaining that the recent
ban prohibiting gambling had SO
decreased the revenue in the North
ern District that 1t was facing
bankruptcy.
The current rate Of exchange on
the peso is reported at 27 cents, ac-
cording to local bankers, SO that
the amount granted to the Northern
District is approximately $67,500, a
sum not considered sufficient in
view of existing conditions.
