CLARE AGAINST LARGE FIELD IN
 W.C.C. INVITATION
New Haven Won Medalist HOnOrs for Third Time;
 Lee, MunsOn Threat

After gaining medalist honors for the third year in succession, with a par 69, Charley Clare, the Race Brook rambler, started off in quest of another championship shortly after g o'clock this mor- ming with an opponent who can provide genuine opposition for any, one on any golf links. H. Merri- man, Jr; of Watertown, was paired with Clare today as match play of the fourth annual invitation play began at Waterbury Country club.
 Apparently
 When the qualifying scores were in yesterday, it seemed to be the field, and a very large field it was against Clare. The par 69 posted by the blond New Havener was two strokes better than 136 competi- tors, the largest field in the history of the increasingly popular tourna- ment. Merriman had one of half dozen 77's turned in but is capable of much better golf in match play. Dana Tyack, who qualified with a nifty 77 took on c. P. Goss, 3rd, a 75 qualifier in the second match, listed for this mornings play. F. B. Towne of Essex, N. J. and w. J. "Little Bill" Sweeney were paired today while c. S. Sherry" Nun son, the Yale links star from Fair field and W. Fisher of Milford hooked up in fairway duel.
 Consistent
 Clare's qualifying round, in which he equalled the course par of 69 and was short of his own rec- ord of 67 was good steady golf, ex- cept the 18th, including two birdies on the outgoing nine and as many more coming home. James B. Lee of the Danbury hat family wound up with 0 72 and was paired with Bill Meany of Greenwich who just got into the championship flight of sixteen in a four-way playoff.

DESTROYED BY FIRE
City Firemen Battle Blaze in
Bitinq Cold.

Fire of undetermined origin early
today destroyed the office of the
Hillsdale Nursery, near Castleton,
with loss estimated by Alex
Taschinaky, manager, at $500.
Quick work on the part of In
dianapolis firemen prevented de-
struction of a large barn containing
hay and farm implements, which is
only rs feet from the office site.
Lieut.. Russell Miller and five men
from Pumper Co. 20 fought the fire
in near-zero temperature. Only
water available was in swimming
pool 500 feet from the burning
structure. Part of a rustic fence
around the pool was torn down to
get apparatus near the pool and ice
was broken to reach the water.

Republicans Not Friendly,
Seeing Him Only Hope,

By United Press

81 CHted PTeSs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Ade-
quate financial backing was assured
today for the presidential candidacy
of Senator william E. Borah.
While the money has not been
definitely pledged, it became appar-
ent that Mr.. Borah would not lack
necessary campaign funds.
This development, coupled with a
formal avowal by Mr.. Borah that he
would cooperate fully with liberal
forces placed the Idaho veteran for
the first time squarely on record as
willing to contest the presidency
with the present White House in
cumbent.
Senator Borah has not said in SO
many words that he is a candidate.
But persons versed in the intricacies
of politics asserted that his state
ment of yesterday reached the same
end, since to draw back now would
be to break faith with those who
have been given permission to adj
vance his name in state primaries.
Mr. Borah has told intimates that
he would not be able personally to
finance a campaign. He is not in
league with the regular Republican
organization and could not call
upon it for funds. He would like to
represent himself as a poor mans
candidate, relying solely on popular
support.
That is not a strictly accurate
representation.
Borah will have among his sup
porters Republicans who are not
Borah admirers, but who believe
that he is the only Republican with
sufficient popular appeal to stand
chance of defeating President Roose-
welt. Those persons are willing to
finance any endeavor which in their
opinion gives the best prospect of
ousting the present Administration
Friends of the Senator say that
he is thinking of a presidential
candidacy only in the terms of
popular campaign, divorced from
regular machine politics and rely
ing on a spontaneous uprising of
the citizenry for its principal
strength.
Others in the Republican or
ganization who are interested more
in defeating Mr.. Roosevelt than they
are in the doctrines of their own
candidate, believe that in Mr.. b.
rah the Republicans have a man
who can inspire just such a popular
demonstration.

Bare feet on cold, clammy floors,

in a plea of a childish scrawl to
Clothe a-Child, of The Indianapo-
lis Times.

have no shoes and can't go to school
regular. We have not got clothes
to keep us warm. BESSIE"
You can have ME" and MY" for
the asking in enlisting in Clothe-a-
Child to bring new garb and a
newer spirit this Yuletide in homes
of the unfortunate ones.
ME" and my" want so little.
just warm dresses so other children
won't poke their fingers in scorn.
Odd, but it seems want is more
acute during the Santa month. The
plight of the INDECENT is realized.
Do you realize it, too? Have you
shivered during the past two days?
If you have then place yourself in
your teen-age with holey stockings,
thin sweaters, bedraggled panta-
looms, frayed coats.

COTS colleague in the most power
full of the local rackets, is the Gov

This connection, which carries no
necessary imputation of guilty asso-

knowledge in Minneapolis. Every
knowing citizen is aware of it. The
newspapers have not ignored it.
In every issue of Walter Liggett's

bristling edition which prefaced his
death, he pointed out the Golf

Both Federal and Hancock Coun-

Low; Absence of Wind
Lessons Bite.

Climbing slowly, the mercury

ing dropped to new low of 3. Sun

Motorists and pedestrians who did
not find the weather as biting to-
day as yesterday, when the mer-
curry dropped to 5, were informed
by the bureau that the absence of

The low mark was established at
2:30 this morning. Fifteen min

BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The
New Deal reminded employers today
that taxes to finance unemployment

The Christmas mails will carry
Treasury orders to all employers of
eight or more persons requiring that
they begin keeping pay roll records

collections will be based on those
records.
The Treasury directed employers

gross pay roll, total taxable pay roll
and the number of persons en-
ployed and length of employment
No special form of record is pre-
scribed.
Requires Keeping of Records
employers claiming to be ex-
empt from the tax should keep rec
ords to establish their exemption, "
the order said. No records of
amounts paid to particular employees
are required.
Employers not proving exemption
are required under the act to pay a
tax equal to l per cent of their gross
pay roll for the calendar year 1896;
2 per cent for 1887, and 8 per cent
for 1888 and thereafter.
