ONE VETERAN IN GOLF PLAY Beverly Country Club, Chicago, Sept. 3. —(U.R) —Only Francis Ouimet, Boston veteran, and Arthur (Ducky) Yates, Rochester, N. Y., campaigner, remained in the National Amateur Golt championship today to stem the rising tide of youngsters who swept through the first two rounds of match play yesterday. Quimet, national open champion in 1913 and national amateur champion in 1914, and Yates, holder of no titles but long time golfer, carried the standard of the “old guard” into today's 36-hole quarterfinal matches. Arrayed against them were six contenders ranging in age from 18 to 26. Three of the six never have qualified before in a national amateur. and two of them are playing in their first national tournament. Leading this band of youngsters in the quest for the title relinquished by Bobby Jones were Billy Howell. 18, Richmond. Va., and Paul Jackson. 21, Kansas City. Mo. Unheard of outside his own bailiwick until this tournament, Howell. slim, blonde-haired southerner who holds the mid Atlantic and Virginia state titles, has been labelled a "future champion” by competent golf judges who have seen him at Beverly, Howell's victims in yesterday's play were Johnny Goodman. Omaha, Neb., who conquered Bobby Jones at Pebble Beach, and Owen Covey, Salt Lake City. He

i beat Goodman 1 up and Covey, 4 and 2. | Jackson who holds the Kansas City championship, eliminated I Johnny Lehman, Chicago, who tied I for medalist honors, and Frederick I J. Wright, West Newton, Mass., |: former member of the Walker cup | team, both 1 up. Lehman rounded the turn 3 up on Jackson who shot I a par 35 coming back to win on the I 18th green. The other members of the young group who took their toll of veterans in the two rounds yesterday were Lester Bolstad, 23, Minneapi oils, Maurice McCarthy, 24, New York, Fay Coleman, 25, Culver City, Calif., and Jack Westland, 26, Chicago. Bolstad, former big ten champion. stayed in the running after a . tough battle with Dick Martin, present big ten champion, who put out ’ George Voigt, veteran New Yorker, ( in the first round, 2 and 1. Martin t carried Bolstad 19 holes before the , latter won 1 up. They finished , their match in a rain-storm which swept over the course when five of ! the eight second-round matches were still in play. McCarthy fought back from the brink of defeat in the first round . when he found himself 4 down to I Russ Martin at the end of 9 holes. A magnificent 34, one under par, on the second nine enabled Mc- ' Carthy to win 1 up, and he easily ’ conquered R. Emmet Spicer, Memphis, Tenn., 5 and 3, in the second round. : After C. Ross Somerville, London. Ont., Canadian amateur chamJ pion, had eliminated Gene Homans, • Englewood, N. J., runner-up to • Bobby Jones last year, in the first 1 round, it was Coleman who stopped Somerville's march with a 4-3 vic- - tory in the second round. Wesland's two victims were Sam r Parks. Jr., Pittsburgh. 4 and 2, and - George T. Dunlap, Jr., Garden City. I N. Y., intercollegiate champion the t past two years, 3 and 2. t Quimet was the only player who - did not have at least some difficulty - gaining the quarterfinals. The 1 Boston veteran trimmed Johnny I Shields, Seattle, Wash.. 4 and 3, » and subdued Frank Connolly, Mt. Clemens, Mich., 5 and 4. The 268-pound Yates won a nip and tuck struggle from Charley Seaver, Los Angeles, who tied with Yates and Lehman for the medal, 1 up, and from Carey Bellew, Kansas City. 6 and 4. Yates' 30-foot chip shot into the cup for a birdie three on the 390-yard thirteenth in his match with Seaver has been called the greatest shot of the tournament. o PACIFIC TRIP IS ANNOUNCED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) maneuver over Cleveland airport today celebrating navy day at the air show. Navy fling patrol boats on their first trip inland were to inaugurate the celebration. The “boats" manned by crews of five men, were to roar 2,500 feet above the city. in addition to the patrol "boats" the navy was to be represented by the twelve “striking eagles” which have been a waily attraction during the air show. The program today scheduled as a double header because of the rain enforced holiday yesterday, was to start at 9:30 with an air transport speed and efficiency race. Speed and stunt flying featured by the daily appearance of the international exhibition team, was to augment the maneuvers of the service partlors. Flight Commander it. H. Atcherley, British stunt flier, probably wil join the Intenational team in exhibitions late this afternoon. The British ace was injured in a crackup Friday. Speed tests were to include qualifying flights for the Thompson trophy race, to be held Labor Day. Interest it) the Thompson speed classic is centering around Lowell ' Bayles, Springfield. Mass., fliers, who recorded an average of 267.34 ! miles an hour Monday. His mark, made unofficially, betters the America nspeed record for land planes. The "Mystery Ship," brought here by Ray Moore, California pilot is attracting considerable attention. Moore's plane a small ship with retractable landing gear, is reputed to have a, maximum speed of 300 miles an hour. For the fourth consecutive time the Bendix derby, Los Angeles to Cleveland, was postponed because of unfavorable weather. The race wil be held lain or shine. I officials said. The latest entrant in the $15,000 transcontinental dash ! is Ait Goebel, who won last year. —_ o GOVERNMENT AT CHILE CHANGES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) . uro Alessandri announced he would I not be a presidential candidate in J the October elections, thus leaving Senator Manuel Hidalgo, commun[lst candidate, the only represent■alive of the left faction. The mutlineers received numerous messages lot solidarity from communist organizations, but denied that their rejvolt was connected with the comImunist movement. The Chilean workers federation 'urged a general strike in sympathy 'with the mutineers, who continued lin control of the battle fleet a t

i Coqnimbo. Rear Admiral EduadoH von Schroeder wus received by the; i sailors' committee aboard the Al-' 1 mirante La Torre and outlined the I government’s position. The government, headed by Man- , uel Trucco, which resigned last • night, had threatened to send army I airplanes and navy seaplanes ( against the mutineers, unless they i surrendered today. The sailors replied with the threat to turn the ; battle fleet’s guns upon Chilean ■ ports. It was reported that mutineers in addition to demanding that a proposed 30 per cent reduction of their salaries, which caused the mutiny be rescinded, asked reforms including sub division of cultivated lands and reduction of compulsory naval service to one year. They also asked extradition and ' trial of former President Gen. Car los Ibanez and the members of his government who fled from Chile after he was overthrown. o Pure Air Saves Life Traverse City, Mich., Sept. 3.— (U.R) — Northern Michigan's pure, pollen-free air today was creditted with saving the life of Joseph Rig- , . gin. 30, Muncie, Ind., dairy farmer , who was gored by a bull. Accompanied by a doctor and a i nurse, Riggin was brought hbre in ■! an ambulance airplane late yesterII day.

RATE DECISION COMING SOON Commerce Commission To Give Verdict Early Next Month Washington, Sept. 3—(UP) —The interstate commerce commission was undestood today to be planning to announce early in October its decision on the petition of the railroads for a 15 per cent freight rate increase. While procedings have not been completed, it was understood that , on the basis of the showing already made by the railroads and the opposition entered by Agricultural interests, shippers and others, the ■ commission was inclinded to reject the carriers’ plea. It was reported that the commission was convinced that agricultural products could not bear higher rates. While the railroads asked for a blanket increase, as- , setting they would adjust rates la- , ter to a fair basis for all concerned. , The commission apparently believed that differentiations should be i made for the various commodities. . in some cases it was understood i the commission was ready to auth- , orice higher rates, but not by 15 i per cent. The figure of 5 per cent! 1 appeared more likely one. h The proceedings, which began in ' June, have moved swiftly and now ! are in their final phases. TJie car-| riers presented their arguments in July. The opnm|iiion has pleaded its case at various hearings through j out the country. Hearings now un- ' derway in Chicago will conclude | that portion of the case, leaving 1 the filing of briefs, final arguments ! and the decision. The commission announced yesterday that oral arguments will be heard in Washington beginning Sept. 21. These are expected to be concluded within a week. The commission has asked that briefs be filed by Sept. 18. The motion of six western states to dismiss the carriers petition will : be debated. The states assert the commission is without auth>ity to grant rate increase on a mere showing of financial distress among the carriers. The roads will argue

that the commission has jurisdiction and is entitled by law to give them oportunity to earn a fair return. I O_ SPORT PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) Indianapolis will be held March 18 and 19. The 1932 annual swimming meet will be held April 9. Sectional track meets are set for May 14 and the finals May 21.

The bulletin raised the questions of whether a state basketball tournament should he held, but offered no recommendation. One suggestion offered in connection with the tournament, -however, was that teams be divided into A and B classes; another was that the tournament end with the 16 regional meets. q “Dead Man’’ Outlives Most of Mourners New Orleans, Sept. 3. —(U.R) —It’s been 49 years since Thomas Littlejohn was pronounced dead as he lay fully conscious, and heard them bring’ in his coffin and prepare to carry him to his grave, but today he still is very much alive and prides himself that he has already outlived most of his “mourners." "It was in the terrible > smallpox epidemic here in 1882,” Littlejohn said. "I was 25 years old. Had been sick about two months and finally sank into a sort of coma. Doctors who had been treating me pronounced me dead. There was nothing I could do about it. I hear them bring in my casket. A peal of thunder finally caused me to open my eyes and move just as they were carrying my coffin back from my room.” Miss Bemadine Shraluka, who is employed in Muncie, and Bill White of Muncie visited in Decatur Tuesday.
