AMATEUR EVENT
Play Starts Today in 10th
Tourney at Garden
City Links
BY STUART CAMERON
United Press Sports Editor


Garden City, N. Y, Sept. II. (Up)
Johnny Goodman stepped into the
favorite's role today as play started
In the 10th national amateur gold
championship over the treacherous
Garden City Golf club course.
The Omaha sharpShooter, who
captured the y. 8. open title In 1888
and who never has been better than
runner.up IN the amateur, was q
seven-to-one betting favorite and
only unanimous choice OF golf writ
ers who named the four probable
semi. tlnalists.
Eighty-two matches were sched-
uled for today, 46 Of the field Of
2i0 players having drawn first-
round byes. Today's 81 winners and
the 46 byes will take part In Tues
days "a second-round matches. The
Anal will be played Saturday.
Goodman was the firSt Of the bet
ter known players to leave the
starting tee today. He had an carly
match with Hunter Hicks Of Chi
cago, who figured to get nowhere,
Scotty Campbell OF Seattle, Ross
Somerville OF Canada, 1882 winner,
and Reynolds Smith OF Dallas were
the other top choices as the tourney
got under way.
Campbell was one OF the late
starters. He was to meet Forrest
Thompson Of Landover, Md. Camp
bell will be followed by Smith, who
plays Gordon JirlYler Of Milwau-
kee.
Although Goodman tops the big
four and will be the one man TO
watch until and II he Is eliminated
the field embraces at least dozen
players who could win without re-
cording an upset. Goodman Is the
only really big name In the first
quarter Of the draw. The second
quarter Is studded with possibilities.
II includes Somerville, who drew q
bye along with Willie Turnesa OF
New York. Others In the same tor.
rid sector are Rector Thomson who,
as British amateur champion, heads
the overseas threat: Johnny Fisch-
or, former intercollegiate champ
from Cincinnati; Freddie Haas Of
New Orleans, who would be q bigger
threat II he we're q bigger man-he
admits his inability TO maintain the
pace when the 36-hole stage is
reached; Gus Mroeland OF Peoria,
former Walker cupper, and Walter
Emery runner-up TO Lawson Little
last year.
The third quarter Is enlivened by
the presence OF George Vogit, Smith
and Campbell, one OF whom Ger.
tainly should become q Semi-final-
ist. The fourth quarter Is the poor
est In quality.
Charley Yates OF Atlanta rates as
the star OF this section, which in
cludeS 1888 champion George Dun
lap OF New York, and Jock Mclean,
British Walker cupper.
The course Is In perfect shape.
The green's are on the fast side but
not slick enough TO be unfair. Heavy
grass just Off the fairways about
which players complained In early
practices has been cut to within q
couple Of inches.

LACK OF PROGRESS CHARGED
ON FARM TO MARKET
ROADS

With results to date disappointing,
farmers of the state are being urged
by Secretary G. E. Wise, Jr., of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation
to demand action on the farm-to
market road program which was
provided as part of the work relief
grant of the National Legislature
more than a year ago. Results can
be secured if farmers are insistent
with their deamnds, he believes.
Emergency relief funds will be
held for allotment until June 80,
1887" according to a statement of
Mr.. Wise. $50 far the farm-to-
market road program has not been
keeping pace with other relief &C
tivities. If we fail to secure allot-
ment CT the funds available for farm
to-market road purposes before the
end OF this year it is quite likely
that the funds will be re-allocated
to other projects and farmers lose
the opportunity we now have to Sc
cure improvement of our farm-to
market systems.
Even WPA officials at Washington
have been disappointed with the
farm-t to market development which
seems to have created less attention
than grants made to primary and
secondary systems of highways in
most states, Mr.. Wise reports. The
first idea that all labor must come
from those on relief rolls has been
discarded, according to Secretary
Wise, and those in charge of the
program at the Nations Capital are
thinking now in terms of getting
results on the program even if other
local labor must be used
Very little progress has been
made On farm-to- market roads in
Maryland under the work-relief
grant" says Mr.. Wise. "Other
states report a similar situation,
and, after year of waiting it looks
as though farmers themselves will
have to demand action on the pro-
gram for their own arm-to-market
roads. In three counties such move
ments have been started by the
Farm Bureau and others are ex-
pected to follow"

The Golden Text will be from 1
Peter 1:25-"The word CT the Lord

Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible-Eccles.
12:13-"Let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter; Fear God and
keep his commandments; for this is
the whole duty of man"
The Lesson-Sermon also. will in
clude the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, page
207-"The spiritual reality is the
scientific fact in all things The
spiritual fact repeated in the action
Of man and the whole universe, is

SENATE RELIEF MEASURE

Maryland's lawmakers at Annap-
oils, have done little so far during
the special session of the Legislature,
except disagree. The matter OF
enacting relief legislation has proven
a knotty one.
The Senate on Saturday adopted a
favorable report on the measure
which imposes levies on beer,
whisky, amusements and automobile
titling, which would provide 49,
100000 for relief purposes.
The levy on the manufacture and
rectification of whisky proposed in
the bill is cents gallon.
The amusement tax would be a
fat ten percent. and the measure
would tax automobile titling at one
per cent. the value of the machine.
The Senate bill provides that the
revenues from the levies shall be
divided between the city and tn
counties on a sixty-forty basis. 1t is
planned to continue the gross re-
ceipts levy of one per cent. for two
months, bringing the total to be
raised under the Senate program to
$3,7O0,000.
This division would give Baltimore
city about $2,5O0,000.
The $S,1O0,OOO relief tax measure
went through the Senate Monday
afternoon practically without a
hitch, after a motion to recommit it
to committee for further considera-
ton lost by vote Of 10 to 8. The
vote on final passage was "a to 4.

STATE ROADS FINANCES

William A. Codd, chief auditor of
the State Roads Commission, has
warned the commission and Cover
nor Nice that construction of new
State highways might end soon I'M
less funds are provided from other
sources or new appropriations are
authorized.
Considering the present method
of distribution and application OF
road revenues" the auditor pointed
out in his annual report, little will
be provided for the future" with
the exception of funds from other
sources or new appropriations.
Therefore" he continued, 1.-THE
use of road revenues for other pur-
poses cannot be permitted,
for in addition to the urgency of ap-
plying all funds to road purposes.
there exists the possibility of forfeit
ing thirty per cent. Of the Federal
appropriations" made in 1884 for
highway work.
Turning to the question of over
drafts by counties of their road
funds, Mr.. Codd reported that eleven
OF the States twenty-three counties
had overdrawn total of $604,976 at
the end Of January.

SOILS CONSERVATION LAW

A new step toward equality for
agr culture" was taken on March 1
when President Roosevelt signed the
so-called soils conservation bill, thus
guaranteeing a new national pro-
gram for agriculture. The soils
conservation bill, supported by ma
jor farm organizations and drawn up
IN line with their expressed desires,
replaces the AAA which was doomed
by the Supreme's Court decision of
early January.
Very little definite information
about the operations of the new
measure can be given as yet. They
are being worked out now and will
be announced as rapidly as details
are completed. In the statement
issued by the President at the time
of signing the bill, the measure was
