Johnston i Wins Title : As Amateur Champion yy' Of America ' I ' . (Corituraad from Pas J.) ; Pacific coast In tie . final round for the first time and In the first 'tournament held In the far west. -the gallery of perhaps 5,000 spee . tators manifested strong support r of Johnston throughout and rare him a tremendous oTatlon at the finish. The eontrast between the bare. headed-whlteshlrted "Jimmy" and the portly, somewhat soar looking dentist mar hare had some in fluence. Johnston too, was the younger, . for Willing is a cam paigner of 39, and "Jimmy" was the anderdog for the first half of the mitch furthermore the' doc tor's known disinclination to con cede short putts has found dis favor among the spectators a num ber of. times during the tourna ment and- that -too, appeared a factor In the unusual partisanship of the jostling jam. : Throng Pleased Wk -Wining Misses Putt : Whatever It was, the match wit sessed a startling outburst of cheers, at the eighth hole, when Willing missed a shot in a trap and Johnston won his first hola after apparently haying tossed it away by putting -his second shot oyer the cliff to the oceanslde. Again at the 16th hole, where St. Paul "Jimmy" really began his : uphill fight to victory, scattering cheers echoed as Willing's second shot trickled over the edge of the , rreen into a trap, from whirh it took the doctor two to get out. Again at the 18th, the partisan spirits in the gallery groaned as WUlings approach shot, aparent- ly headed for a trap. Just cleared thW haxard and made the green. It ' was on this hole thafrjohnston made the most magnificent recoy. , cry shot of the entire match. He had Just cut WUlings lead from three to one hole by taking the 16th and 17th In succession but It looked dubious when "Jimmy" pulled his braasie oyer the bank and down to the edge of the ocean. The surf lapped around his ankles as he took his stance but he . clouted the ball to within six yards of the green. Just short of a trap, from where he chipped dead to the pin for the par five that gave him a half. Willing requiring two putts to get down.

On both the' 14th and 15th holes .In the morning, after beautiful pitch shots, Johnston missed short putts by inches for wins. Both tin. lshed the first round in even 80, eight over par, to show the extent of their poor scoring but Johnston redeemed an erratic outward 48 by coming back in 37, only, one -over par. in lact "jimmy- piayea the last eight holes of the first!

Johns; " dquarea Match At Nineteenth Green They started shakily again In the afternoon, both taking two hots out of traps on the 19th to reach the green but Johnston got down In five to win the hole and square the match. Thus encour aged, Johnston took command of the situation for the first time. He began to hit his shots with more confidence, boldness and accur acy. He missed a fire foot putt for a win on the 21st but took the lead on the 22nd for the first time when Willing putted three. "Jimmy" planked his tee shot to the 110 yard 23rd hole. 10 feet from the cup, and won the whole with a three after Willing was trapped and- exploded to the oppo site of the green. Aided by a "break" Johnston won his third , straight hole and virtually settled - the match, on the long 502 ? yard 24th, which bends around, the cliff at the oceans edge and finished uphill, "Jfstiny" Has Luck " Pafrdnc Hazards Coins? for the green with his second shot, using a spoon John ston half topped the ball and It baraly carried over the eove that euts part way into the elbowed ' fatrwa W was 'still 60 vard ; short of the green but laid a chip shot dead, eight ieet from WllUnr chipped short, missed his - . suit and Johnston holed for a birdie, the first and only one of , -' Willing was game rigai uuwn iw the" finish but he was a beaten man from then on.

Nor was It the IH-tell-you-and-you-go.bring-the-crowd Idea. It was th e deep-seated belief ot one of Salem's long-time fight pro moters and Judges: "The Fox-Akers fight next Thursday la to be about the sweet est scrap Salem has seen In years." And Harry ought to know. He's seen Fox. perform through a num. ber of mixes, some of which are now classic In the minds of Salem fight fans. And he knows Akers quite well, too. Five years ago Akers tussled here with Phil Bayes and Harry hasn't forgotten. "Believe me, that lad Akers is a flghter,' he confided Saturday to a member of the Statesman crew. He packs a wicked left and If it lands squarely on Ted Fox . . It may be 'curtains for Ted's hopes." To those who know lees than Harry Plant about Akers it might oe wen to introduce mm as an up and coming lad ot 26 summers, age of S3 In a tournament that, knocked the dope all over Pebble Beach and the surrounding Cali fornia countryside. So lightly were Jlmmys" chances regarded that he was only number 6 in the rank ing list used for "seeding' pur poses. Dr. Willing was No. 7 but all those higher in the rating fell by the wayside. Champion Jones went out in the first round along with George Von Elm, while Jess Sweetser, George Voigt and Cyril Tolly passed out in the third round.

August was a month without a single cloudy day according to the official weather report which. means that on no day. in the month was the sky 'more than three-tenths overcast. Rainfall for the. month was one-half of an inch while clear days were listed as 26 and partly clear aa five. The weather showed a marked improvement over 1928 in August when there were only 13 clear days,- andll cloudy ? days with seven , days being listed as partly dear; -The maximum, temperature for August 1,-1929,. was 98 de grees .while : the maximum for August 1928 was 96 degrees.

Yet nowhere, so -far as I know, has there been a simple statement ot Just what it la and why it works aa it does, according to Charles K. Dennlson, tocal radio dealer. - vacuum tube Is supposed to be a vneway device, that is voltages applied to the grid will be repeat ed and amplified in the plate cir cuit, but there will be no action at all in the other directions, from the plata brack to the grid. Tubes lived up to this expectation until we tried to get very high ampli fications out of them. Then It was found that they were not 100 per cent one way, but it was possible rlor a small amount ot voltage to leak, back ward through the tube, and this was very troublesome. It caused radio receivers to howl and squal, and made them quite use- leu for radio broadcast reception. Ot course, when It was desired to make a tube generate an alt ernating current of high frequen cy, a path outside the tube was ar ranged to feed part of the voltage from the plate back onto the grid. to be held in the high school building here October 7 and 8, Su perlntendent Mary I Fulkerson announced Saturday. Program for the Institute, which will be attended by more than 500 teachers from all over the county, will be completed shortly. Two main speakers, Dr. C. E. Moore of the school ot edu cation of Cornell University, N.T., and Dean J. R. Jewell of O. S. C. school of education, were chosen and announced pne ,Jtaoei -t ago. The counyjsaniUryiOffkefs and Miss Agnes Campbell; county su pervisor of nurses, will be able to meet with the congregated teach ers, according to the program be- ins outlined by- Mrs. Fulkerson and her assistant, R. W. Tavenner of the Salem high school. TO SEE GREAT GHE Sweeping changes in require ments for naturalisation are in the offing according to U. O. Boyer, county clerk, who received a large supply of new blanks Sat urday which win be used hereaf ter In all transactions with the naturalisation service of the Unit ed States department of labor. While Mr. Boyer had not had suf ficient time to study all the chan ges under the new regulations, it was evident that-larger fees would be required .of applicants for cit izenship in the future. Mr. Boyer Interpreted this as a movement to make the service more nearly self supporting. On one of the blanks, an appli cation for a new declaration ot in tention in He of one lost or de stroyed, ten dollars Is required as a filing fee Instead of one dollar previously charged.

Cczal at Owexxi nun Gi?Sd z3 wy oExDertin Equipment This was done in regenerative re ceivers, and In transmitters, but in tuned radio frequence receivers. even tne small leak through tne I tuba itself had to. bo stopped or compensated for. . All the various methods of neu tralization, including' the Haxeltine method, f which la probably the best, were developed to balance out this, small voltage that leaked back' through the tube. ' The -balancing devices called for 'extra windings on the transformers' be tween the tubes, to collect the bal ancing voltage, and then a balanc ing condenser, by which Just the right amount of this voltage could be fed back to the grid. The ad justment of these balancing con densers was difficult, and- the whole arrangement was complicat ed and expensive. The problem for the tube de signers was to njoduce a new tube that was really a "one-way device, that did not have this small leak for letting voltage come back the rwrong way and cause trouble." The screen grid tube is the answer to this problem. In this tube: the leak is so; extremely -small as to be negligible in all ordinary re ceivers. - The balancing of a receiver was therefore not a virtue, but the necessary eure for a' very trouble some defect in the tubes them selves. Receivers which use the screen grid tube do not recuire to be balanced, there is nothing to be balanced, the tube has not feed back path in it. The balancing con densers and the extra windings are left out. and the whole circuit be comes simpler and more stable. The screen grid is an extra ele ment inside the tube. It is placed on both the inside and the outside of the plate. It does not prevent the tube from amplifying the proper direction, but" it does ell- ftninatej .the i small . leak," back to the grid, that caused . so ' march trouble. ' . When the screen grid was tried out, it was found that it not only stopped the leak, but that it also made It possible to get very much higher amplification out. ot the tube. It is not feasible, in broad east receivers, to use all the am plification of which the tube is capable, because if this is done, the voltage on the output side will be so much higher than the input voltage that there will be suffi cient leakage In the wriing of the set to cause-very serious trouble.
