Large Gallery Watches
A large gallery of local golf
fans (and / mustn't forget the boy
fans) as we'll as many out-of-
towners gathered for the meet.
Each gallery, as you know, has a
favorite and in most cases it's the
defending champion. Well, this
gallery was no exception. It had
a favorite and Sam Sheppard was
1T. Sam won the tournament last
year and came back this year (all
the way from st. Louis) dead-bent
on taking the bacon back with him
for the second straight time but
the Twin City boys had apparently
vowed that there wasn't enough
bacon to go around. At least, not
as far as St. Louis and especially
when the local boys have been
wearing a hungry look ever since
last year.
For the benefit of the foreign
element still enjoying this fine Min
nesota climate, I might say that
dope before the tournament had it
all settled that local lad would
do the honors this year. AS close
as foreigner got to the bacon this
year was when Sam Sheppard, the
defending champion, had to play a
Sudden Death" hole with Jimmy
Lee with whom he was tied for
second place. Of course, Jimmy,
rabbit foot, horseshoe and all,
won the play off.
Cities represented from through
out the central-states were Mime
apolis, st. Paul, Kansas City, St.
Louis, Des Moines, Omaha, Du-
luth, Sioux Falls, S. D., and To-
peka, Kan. Minneapolitans en-
tered were Chas. Noble, "Hezzie"
Allen, Bert Dawson, Tom Donald
son, James Murray, Don Brady,
Chas. De La Compson, Otis Wood
ard, Bert Smith, Johnnie Williams,
Earl Ionic, Ray Dysart, D. w. In
gram, and Fred Jones. While the
St. Paul group included Duke CO.
ram, Jesse Mcclure, Les Lewis,
Jimmy Lee, and James Hughes.
From st. Louis came L. B. How
ell, Frank McConico, Herbert Love,
Sanders Mason, AL Garner, Nat
Jordan, Sam Shepard, and ]. Tay-
lor. Topeka sent the lone Sheriff.
Thompson to uphold its honor.
Next to Minneapolis the largest
delegation came from Kansas City.
This group included C. Prescott,
Ken Hill, Warner Kicks, Verxis
Barnes, Leroy Doty, Morris Hern-
don, Major Shavers, Ray Rucker
and Geo. McClain. The Des MONIES
team was made up of four men
and they were Jackie Howard,
Howard Wilkerson, Chas. Howard,
"Speck" Howard.
A six-man team from Omaha in
cluded Boyd Galloway, Jesse Hut
ton, Penn Murray, Billy Davis,
Malcolm Scott, and Lonnie Thomas.
Representing Duluth was AL Black
and from Sioux Falls came ]. G..
Crowder.
The morning eighteen holes de-
cided the fight that each player
would be in for the afternoon play
off. Foursomes were approaching
the 18th hole until 1890. Jimmy
Lee made a 80 for the first nine

THERE'S ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE

Either we Americans as class are little dumber than are sometimes credited with being or radio has scored neat little coup in gaining first page publicity on the newspapers of the country, judging from accounts carried by the Associated Press on the men from Mars story of Sunday We are inclined to credit the latter thought. We suspect that the newspapers took the bait hook, line and snker
 There is reason to believe that the big broadcast ing company did very effective job of putting on show. A few gulble folk started using the telephone to make inquiries, The boys the newspaper desks, either had had a bad Saturday night or else were reading the comics about the men from Mars as depicted by MT Buck Jones, for it is apparent that they seeing and thinking things them selves with the facilities at their command they proceeded to build CT up" to the utter delight, no doubt, of the Columbia Broadcastng Company and its affiliated stations throughout the country who got nationwide publicity without the outlay of one

It is great that was received in Juneau yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce that work is to start immediately on construction of the break waters in the Juneau small boat harbor which is to be located just north of the Douglas Island bridge on the mainland side
 It had been feared the work might be delayed until spring Bids for the job had been called by the War Department. But when they were opened by the Army Engineers in Seattle they were found to be much higher than anticipated The lowest bid was 54 cents a yard against the engineers estimate of 40 cents: IA cents difference-too wide range The Army engineers recommended the bids be re- jected.
 In the meantime the local Chamber got busy. It marshaled it's facts the advantages of doing the job this winter compared with next spring, and forwarded them on to Col. H. J. Wild District Engineer for the Army in Seattle. The Colonel who consistently has assisted Juneau in every way in getting it's boat harbor, yesterday notified the Chamber that he had received permission to proceed with the breakwater construction by hired labor and that work would start within ten days
 This means the Army engineers will direct the work themselves instead of letting it out contract It means too that Juneau who need work are going to get it. that equipment which otherwise would be idle during the winter will be im use; that the breakwater work will be completed much earlier than anticipated allowing for the dredging and eonstruc- tion of terminal facilities in time to have the harbor completed next summer.
 It is a great piece of business for Juneau The Chamber of Commerce. which has fathered the small boat harbor since its inception, is again to be con- graduated for applying the pressure when it was needed
