 ed of evading the draft 3 years before.
 In a Washington court, 2 men are on trial for an all- eged offer to sell a cadet s appointment to the United States Military Academy. If the offer really was made, it must have been made with the expectation that someone would accept it, The draft dodger would not receive war service as a gift. Others are willing to pay for it. The world changes, but one mans meat continues to be anO- ther mans poison.
 The showing of a motion picture in which the late William F. Cody appears as a character recalls the day when the small boy got the thrill of his life out of seeing Buffalo Bill in the flesh. The Boy Scout movement has furnished a wholesome outlet for the energy that formerly went into killing Injuns', but there is a host of elderly and sedate men who feel that no Boy Scout honor can possibly approach the dignity and importance that went with being Buffalo Bill or Dr. Carver for an hour on the back lot.

horror, this time in describing
Ghezzi's emotion. Unless the ras-
cal was apprehended, he explained
in voice alive with feeling, he
couldn't hole out and his chance OF
winning some money would be lost
There was a shout from the vi
cinity of the swimming pool.
1--WE got him We got himi" Came
the triumphant cry of the leader
bearded fellow who only the night
before had bored everybody in the
locker room with the story of how
he once had a par on ST. Andrews
famous road hole.
They marched the boy to the
edge of the green and demanded he
place the ball in the exact spot IL
was when his criminal instincts goi
the best of him.
Chin out, and with every freckle
breathing defiance, the boy drop
ped the ball on the ground and
kicked it into the trap, where ii
rolled into a deep heel print.
1T wasn't in the trap!" the hor-
rified gallery cried in unison.
That's where 1 found it and
that's where put it back" Tom
replied.
A general alarm for the tourn-
ament officials and their rule
books was sounded.
They came scurrying. In two min
utes enough golf minds to make
one ordinary mind were giving off
opinions worth nothing.
One red-tape interpreter wanted
to know the culprit's age. Another
wanted the business address Of his
father. Still another said he thought
the same rule that applied when
crows flew off with golf balls would
apply in this case. A colleague ques-
toned this on the grounds that the
boy. bad as he was. was not a crow.
Finally they decided on the only
thing anyone with common sense
could decide They allowed Ghezzi
to drop the ball over his shoulder
in the approximate spot the specta-
tors said it landed.
Tom Sawyer, firmly held by his
father, walked away meditatively
rubbing the seat of his pants.

games and traditional holiday con-
tests remained today to complete
the 1896 Pacific coast football seas

The Santa Clara-T. c. U. game in
San Francisco tops next weeks grid

important for the Santa Clarans,
who will be fighting to retain their
record of no defeats and no ties
the only record of its kind in the
nation among the major teams.
Should the Broncos get safely
past the tricky Texas Christians,
their Sugar Bowl game with Louisi-
ana State will take on greater sig
nificance On basis of seasons per-
formances, the teams are among the
four top-ranking elevenS in the
country.
Other grid battles on top which
are of interest to Pacific coast fans
will be the University of Califor-

HY HENRY McLEMORE

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 7. WP)-Tom
Sawyer came to life crowd gather
ed about the 18th green of the
Biltmore golf course here yester-
day and, right under his elders
noses, perpetrated a crime which
threw the very important $4,000
open championship into a very fine
diScord.
At least it looked like Tom Saw
yer. He was boy of about eight,
and his face was thickly freckled,
his shirt was out, and his pants
were worn in the approved half
mast fashion of boyhood The
only discordant note was the shoes
he wore, but he apologized for them
by leaving the laces united.
Victor Ghezzi, the big profession
al from Deal, N. j., was his victim.
Ghezzi, intent on sharing the $4,000
worth of wage which is distributed
to the low scorers in this, the rich
est of all tournaments, boldly played
his second shot for the green. The
ball skittered across the carpet,
bounced through a treacherous trap,
and came to rest on the grass some
three feet beyond the sand.
1t had no more than rolled to a
stop than Miami's 1886 Tom Saw
year, who was standing with his
father in the crowd horse -shoed
about the green, minnowed through
the spectators and, with joyous
Whoop, grabbed it up and disap-
peared in nearby clump of hibis-
Gus bushes.
Horror is the only word TO use
in describing the emotions of the
spectators as the boy and the ball
and the flying shirt tail disap-
peared in the shrubbery. They
shrieked and m0aned and cried
for the scamp's father to set out
i'm pursuit.
When that gentleman, who was
overcome by the enormity of the
crime, didn't Immediately move, a
posse of golf lovers was quickly
formed and set out on the chase.
1.-The scamp should be arrested"
Indignantly barked an old fellow
who used putter for cane.
wish he were mine" was the
bitter remark of a lady whose
shooting stick groaned under her
weight I'D wear him out with a
number 2 iron"
Ghezzi, ignorant of what had
happened, arrived at this time and
started looking for his ball At first
no one dared tell him of the dast-
ardly deed, but finally the old gen.
tleman with the putter explained
the situation.
Once again we must use the word

NET STARS IN
PLAY TOGAIN
TEAM POSITION

Ell Centro high school tennis
sharks today prepared to enter an
other week of ladder play to de-
termine positions for a team which
will be whipped together by Coach
Joe Burcham to meet Brawley high
racketeers Saturday, December 19.
The chances for a championship
team at Central this season are far
from bright, but Burcham indicat-
ed his meters would make the COM
petition stiff for the favored CAL
eXico team.
The Border City tennis team is
rated as the strongest to represent
that school in recent years but it
is pointed out that the strength
of the Calexico team is limited to
the boys division.
The Ell Centro team, however. has
the two ranking girl players in the
valley and Coach Burcham is count
ing on the feminine stars to come
through for his club.

AS for the judge himself, he sits
tight and talks of rainbow trout

major league owner who wishes he
knew what the Judge was really
thinking about. It's a 100-1 it isn't

Among the important matters the
club owners will discuss are:
l. Night baseball in the American
League.
q Curtailment of double-headers.
g. Raising the draft limit from 4
to 5 years. -
4. The recent rule adopted by the
minors which permits major

HOUSTON, Dec. 7. (UP)
Inter squabbles of h {

ended today, for a time at
least, with the reurn to the
presidency of jeremiah T. Haho-
ney, the New York supreme court

10 keep America out of the Olym-

Elected with him in the fiery
final session of the union was
the entire slate proposed by the
Mahoney forces.
The result might have been diff
ferent if Avery Brundage of Chi
cago, leader of Americas forces
in the Berlin Olympiad, had elect
ed to run once again, but his
choice of e successor, Major Pa
trick ]. Walsh of New York, found
scant favor amcng the delegates,
Walsh lived up to pre-convention
promises OF fight only by stag
ing a glorious row in the closing
session.
Brundage forces sought to have
the election secret because some
of the delegates reputedly had
assured backing to both sides.
The Mahoney supporters would
have none of it. After an hour
of shouting the proposal was
voted down.
The final count was Mahoney
199 81 and Walsh 1879.
Jack Fafferty of Houston, was
named first vice president; Charles
Hunter of San Francisco, second;
William NJ. Leonard of Schenectady
third, and A. H. Russell of Des
Moines, fourth Dan Ferries was
elected executive secretary for
tenth time. His present term is
for four years.
