MONTANA SPORTS TALES
by Joe L. Markham

This tale is about Joe Novak. Others
will be mentioned in the first two para
graphs, then Novak will hold the center
Of the stage.

John, Rudy Joe and Ed; the SeamanS,
Steve and Frank; the Mallons, John

Every man jack Of them can play good
golf.
In the pro ranks we have the two
Novaks, three Merhar's, one Gall, one
Mallon. In the amateur ranks, TWO
Kalls, two Merhar's, two Skedds, one
Seaman and a few of the Kristovich
boys. Nearly all of the brother" lads
have won some title or another in Mon
tana golf.
Now for Mr.. Novak. If there ever was
an engaging youngster 1t was Joe No
yak, as a boy Of IA, when he started
caddying. AS the years have rolled on,
Joe has taken on added personality
and ability. He is the ace of the Butte
caddy gang in acquiring fame and
shekels in his chosen profession. He is
and has been Sitting pretty" for q
number of years.
Twenty-Five years ago Joe was caddy-
ing at the Butte club. He took to the
task like duck to water and likewise
developed into a good player. He was
a favorite with all players, SO was kept
busy Club members insisted on Joe
playing with, as well as caddying for
them. He even instructed them. When
the days work was over, Joseph would
spend hours practicing stance and
swing.
After two years as caddy Joe, then
16, was engaged as pro of the Helena
Country club, becoming the youngest
full-fledged golf pro in the world. He
stayed at the Helena club for two sea-
sons, then received an offer to serve
as assistant to the professional at the
Butte club. he was giving lessons to the
members and taking them from the pro.

AS the golf season in Montana was all
too short, Joe yearned to go to Cali
fornia, where golf is an all-year sport.
He correspondent with many clubs, seek
ing job. The California club Of San
Francisco hired him.
Joe found out that there was World
war In 1917. He enlisted and saw service
overseas. Upon his return in 1919, he
landed the job as pro Of the Spokane
Country club, staying there for years.
Joe made many trips to California to
play in tournaments, always making
and improving contacts, having In mind

Old Faithful Goes
off Schedule for
Two Eruptions

The shortest and longest intervals
between eruptions Of Old Faithful we're
recorded one day recently Just at noon
time when the usually reliable geySer
spouted once at :56 a. IA. and then
burst into action again at 1925 p. m,
a wait Of only 30 minutes
Then, as ii to balance or amend her
impatlence, the well-plumed lady bided
her time until / :53 D. m, an interval of
81 minutes, the longest break between
eruptions on record. The long-delayed
eruption was marked also by an I'M
usually long preliminary display, with
more than 20 minutes used up ia minor
erupti0ns as a dress rehearsal for the
overtime performance.
William Kearns, junior park natu-
ralist: Charles Hutchins and DR.. Irwin
Douglass, park naturalists, and VIII
liam Bugass temporary ranger wit
messed the two record breaking erup-
tons which strangely followed In con-
secutive order They noted that the
premature eruption went to q height
Of only 100 to ITO feet, scarcely doing
justice to the true form Old Faithful
with its $50 to 175-foot column Of
water.
Clicked periodically since preseason,
the geyser has been holding almost
perfectly to 3 65-minute interval be-
tween eruptiOnS. This season for the
first time a constant patrol is kept
near the Old Faithful cone. The pro-
lection service by rangers is provided
night and day to offer information to
visitors, protect them from wandering
too close to hot water pockets, and to
prevent despoilation and depreciation
Of the natural features Of the cone and
area.

brought out whole-in-one club. a de-
vice that by the simple turn of the
wrist the one club would be converted
into either midiron, mashie, niblick
or putter. He gave up his post at the
Berkeley club to supervise the manufac-
ture and selling of his brain storm His
economy golf weapon has been a mild
success, and is still on the market.
The Ritzy Bellair club at Beverly
Hills offered such tempting bait to
Joseph that, eight years ago, he at
tached himself to that club as pro-
feSsionaI His clients are movie and
radio stars, as well as men and women
associated in those industries.
In 1928 Novak was runner-up In the
California open. He won the title in
1925. He qualified for the U. s. open
six times. Joe has gradually abandoned
active tournament competition in order
to do justice to his Instructions His
success as a first class instructor has
earned him recognition by several au-
thorities as one of the 10 best golf
teachers in the country.
One of Nations Best
Novak was the first pro to broadcast
golf instructions over the airlines. He
was also one of the first pros to utilize
movie film as an instruction medium.
The first golf prize ever won by Joe
Novak was a suit Of clothes in q caddy
tourney at the Butte club IS years ago.
The caddy tourney committee was so
sure that John Kall was going to win
the event that a suit that would fit
the more rotund John was purchased.
joe was content to win the title He
never wore the suit because of the mis-
fit. The suit was sold to Kali for $40.
Today Joe Novak enjoys good job,
good business, and good health. He
also wears good clothes, for even now,
as IS years ago, Joe insists that his
body be encased in proper fitting gar
ments. NoVak was ambitious to get
in golf when caddying. This
sentence is devoted to telling you that
Joe certainly made the grade.

BRITAIN Ely f )
EMIGRATION

LONDON Q.N.SD-In an ef-
fort to strengthen the defenses
of the British Empire a great
new scheme of emigration is to be
launched by Britain in the near
future.
Hundreds Of thousands Of
BritonS are to be settled in the
DominionS. The plans for this
scheme are now being drawn up
for discussion at the Imperial
Conference, which is to be held in
London during Coronation week
next May.
Under the scheme thousands of
men for whom employment can
not be found in Britain will be
transported to the DominionS.
To Strengthen Empire
They will cement, it is hoped,
the solidarity of the whole EN-
pire under the Imperial Crown
both in the interests of defense
and of the whole future existence
VI GIlc Gu1P4c.
During recent years-Since the
system of emigration from Britain
was slowed down-a diSquieting
change has been taking place in
some of the British OomlnlonS.
The structure of some of these
countries has been permeated by
foreign influences, and it is felt
here that the essentially British
nature of the dominionS may be
undermined.
The French colonists in Quebec
are already demanding home
rule for Canada. In South Africa,
German and Dutch coloniStS have
been gaining ground. and the
British influence has been declin-
ing.
The japanese, it is also felt, may
become a real menace in Aus
tralia.
With the object of circumvent-
ing these influences proposals will
be discussed at the Imperial Con-
ference for pumping more British
capital and more British families
into those dominionS.
This will mean establishing new
industries in the Empire, but as
far as possible they will not COM
pete with industries in Britain.
The dominionS, however, do not
want the rejects Of the British
industries.
They will demand skilled,
healthy men, and special arrange
mentS are being made for those
who wish to take their families
with them.

gained support Of the Arlington
County Board yesterday when its
members agreed to visit Rich

man, chairman, the board voted
to invite members of the con-
gressional committee investigating
possible sites for Thomas Jeffer-

ACAPULCO, Mexico, G.N.SJ
The lost glory of Acapulco
glory which made of this city the
clearing port between the old
world and the new during the
Sixteenth Century-is at last re-
turning, but in a new form.
The new glory Of Acapulco is

its eyes, and awoke to new day.

In her rebuilding program, the
city is taking the example of Cali
fornia cities on her north.
Plans are under way for a new,
six hundred-foot pier to accom-
modate the luxury liners of the
Panama Pacific Steamship Com
pany, which only in the last year
has made Acapulco their port of
call on the west Mexican coast.
Acapulco is the only deep water
harbor on this coast.
Naval and commercial shipping
experts have been consulted on
the pier construction. Their viewA
have been placed before President
Cardenas. who is reported in
hearty accord with the renaissance
movement under way in his old
coast city.
To look back on Acapulco'S past
is to view a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
story of buccaneers, gold and con-
quest. When Magellan discov-

Montezuma's studded stronghold
in the Valley of Mexico fell, and
the year 1920 had been written in

Of the upper house who, in all
probability, are going to be paid
for 80 days work, despite the fact
they will do only about five days
work.
With q law emitting them to
one months pay on the basis Of
a 30-daY month regardless OF how
soon they close the session, a
move to restrict the pay to the
time actually spent here was to
be made, but is apparently being
laughed out of the assembly" as
one member expressed the senti-
ment of the legislators who were
forced to leave home on the eve
of Christmas"
Consensus of the members here
is that the special session will close
Friday, after five days actually
spent in session. If the move TO
pay them on the per diem basis
was passed by the assembly, then
each would receive $50 plus mile
age for their efforts, or a total
salary cost of 1880.
But with Christmas so close,
most members are determined to
collect the full 80 days salary, or
a total of $3.50 each, plus mileage.
This will bring the total salary
