'par in . strength than as many teams have ever! been in the Union -Wallowa dis trict, will begin a two-day tourna ment) here to determine which of the eight;-; will enter the district finals at Union Mar. 3, 4, 5. " They will lino up In the first round as follows: : - , Friday. -morning 0:80 Imbler vb. La Grande. - 10:30-r-E(iterprlae vs. Wallowa. Friday afternoon 1:30 Elgin vs. North Powder.. 2:30 Joseph vs. Cove. And Friday afternoon and evening four more games will be played, with two -of .the eight learnt) to be dim In a ted after the day's two rounds of basketball contests. Which two will be eliminated? And which two will win in the first two rounds, thus assuring themselves of entrance to the Union tournament? 5'Thoao two f questions, answered.' In ordinary years without much diffi culty, stand forth as extremely dif ficult this year, but .we're going to guess, lust the same. Our guess, and that's as strong ns we'll go, is that La Grande, Wal lowa, North Powder and Cove will win (n the first round, throwing Imb ler; Enterprise, Elgin and Joseph Into . thfii first two elimination, gomes. p-.If that should transpire, it would put Imbler against Enterprise and fiiBln against Joseph. The odds then would favor Imbler and Joseph to win, with Enterprise and Elgin the first two eliminated. ; , La Grande, Cove Favored' ui Going iback- to the topj of the braokotr.we also would pick La Grande to win a second game, defeating Wal lowa, and, Cove to come through Over . North . Powder. That would throw. Cove and La Grande Into the tournament at Union, and also pit the. -two, against each other for the tournamtont'amplonship. -. If our guess, is right, and. -the tournament should go that way,, then how about the other. team to qualify? ,' All right, let's take a look. Third round games then would be as fol lows: . l (i j Imbler-would play Joseph and Wal lowa would- play North Powder,-with the two losers eliminated, probably Imbler and North. Powder, although wo aren't quite so sure about that guess. j 1 h ' ; .h v ' Joseph or North Powder?

Since Bobby $ ; Jones aiid Willie Macfarlane came out I even at Worcester in 1926, there have i been four additional tournaments re the play-off -round was 18 holes, and two were required before Macfarlane emerged the winner by a single stroke. As I recall At, nothing was done about the shortrroute play-off until after the Oakmont affair of 1927, when Tommy Armour and Harry Cooper tied at 301 and. Armour won tho extra .round, 76 to 79, which was not as sour golf on the Oakmont oourse of that period as you might fancy. ; i - Then, ' before any more ties oc curred, the United States Golf as sociation adopted a regulation that isnmg witn two mrcues. In 1929, ,Jones lost half a dozen strokes In the .last six holes to Al Eaplnosa, but got Into a tie with him, but Bobby won the -ensuing play-off, at 36 holes.

George -Von Elm canned a J2 foot putt on the 72nd green at In verness last summer, to tie with BllUo Burke. And they played-off and played-off until everybody was nearly dead with excitement and exhaustion, . I remember this particularly, . as I, was broadcasting the tournament and tho play-off, and I had predicted after the second round that the tournament would come out in a tie. I t.hen predicted that the first play-off would come out in a tie, and when that happened, the U. S. G. A. officials and the tournament offi cials got me In an upper room of the Inverness club and told me what would happen to me if I predicted any nnore ties, and they came off. So I laid of the predicting, hav ing had quite a sufficiency of it mv self. And the next day Billy won after a ding-dong, battle that again went to the lost green and a margin Of one stroke. Officials Got Plenty . Now it Beems that two days of play-off was too much for the pow ers that be, and they have decided to revert to the original plan ol play-off at 18 hlles. Inferential ly. this will, be in the morning of the day following the tournament, so if It should come out In a tie, they can do It again in the afternoon, as Willie and Bobby did at Worcester. - Did you ever hear, by the way. what Willie remarked about . the heat,, as fchey started off the first tee of the afternoon round, right in the' hottest part of a record-breaking day? .

Because Germany exported a great deal of wheat last fall, these circles said, an, abnormally short cereal crop will make it necessary to import sufficient wheat , to feed the people until the new harvest. Certificates were given those who exported wheat last fall entitling them to import an equal quantity whenever they wish. Grain circles here said they ex pected the American, Argentine and Canadian . markets would split the benefits of Germany's probable pur chases unless the United States farm board were willing to release another 7,600,000 : bushels on terms similar to those governing the last purchase. n COTTAGE (GROVE WOMAN IS KILLED (Continued From Page One badly damaged it had to be replaced at Pasco,! ififfllroad authorities nere said. t ...

The secretary of state, in thesev eral thousand, word communication, pronounced America's;., policy. :iilled with detailed background, in the Far East difficulties ;as. one squarely be hind the , open door, , policy and the nine power treaty, tinder whichithafc policy was subscribed to by. the prin cipal powers. The letter was in response to a re quest., by; Borah , for on,, opinion whether conditions in China have indicated, the. inapplicability , or, 'in effectiveness of the nine power treaty and whether It was in need of modi fication. ... The nine power treaty,. Stimson wrote, was . entered into by Japan j and the other signatories at a time when China was engaged in an at tempt to dovelop free institutions and the powers realized. China would re quire many years to attain that end. Covenant of Self Denial , . "The treaty was thus a covenant of self denial among the signatory powers in deliberate, renunciation of any policy of aggression whioh might tend to interfere with that develop ment,"' the secretary said in part. "It was believed the whole history of the development of the 'open door' pol- ( icy reveals that faith that only by such a process, under the protection of such an agreement, could the full I est Interest not only of China, but of all nations which have Intercourse j with her. best be served." ; j , The secretary reminded that , "on I Jan. 7th, upon the instruction of the president, this government formally notified Japan and China that It I would not recognize any ". situation, ; treaty or agreement entered into by those governments in violation of the covenants of these treaties (the nine power and ' the Kellogg-Briand treaties) which affected "the rights of our government or its citizens in .China." "If a similar decision should be ' reached and a similar position taken by the other governments of the . world." he continued, "a caveat will bo placed upon such action which, wo believe, will effectually bar the j legality hereafter of any title or right sought to be maintained by pressure or treaty violation, and Which as has been shown by history in the post will eventually lead to tho restora tion to China of rights and titles of I which she may havo been deprived." I Stimson said recent events in China and especially the hostilities begun in Manchuria and extended to Shang , hal, far from 1 indicating the advls 1 ability of treaty modification, have tended to emphasize "the vital im portance of the faithful observance of the covenants." He avoided any attempt to place finger on the sore spot of blame for tho Far Eastern troubles. ' ' DORE AND HARLIN- : ARE SELECTED IX MAYORALTY RACE (Continued From- Pago One) preme court.
