(UP) The Ameri cans are doing more of their drinking and gambling now Just where the state of Chihuahua wants them to indulge. The campaign to tell Americans where to drink and Rumble has end ed In victory for Governor Andres Ortla, of Chihuahua, although for a time a R-oneral strike in Juares was threatened as a protest. Cambium is said to have increased four-fold at tho Casino ThurlBta In- ternnclonnl. Business 1n tho uptown saloons also la said to have picked up. The reason the governor was so solicitous about business In the up town section of Juarez is that the state gains most of Its tax revenue. And right now, politicians say, it Is imperative that the state s Income oe lnoreased because- the state's coffers are low. So to fill the treasury again tno governor took drastic steps to Increase business uptown here. When ne was at first unsuccessful in having the 8anta Pei street bridge closed to ped estrians coming from El Paso, he do creod that 13 saloona near the bridge must close at 9 o'clock nightly. His object in closing the bridge to ped estrians was to forco them to go across the Stanton street bridge and thus go through town instead ot pat ronizing the saloons near the other bridge. Then the labor unions threatened a general strike In Juarez- unless the saloons were allowed to remain open until midnight as formerly. A com promise waB arranged whereby Ameri can pedestrians are not permitted to cross the Santa P street brldgs from El Paso wlUlo the saloons were grant ed permission to stay open until mid- ulgut.

The two men wero Inexpe rienced anglers and their luck con sidered quite, phenomenal by Grants Pass people, who urged that they be freed of the charge by purchas ing licenses.

Isaacs, one of southern Oregon's best known fishermen, had a thrilling time In the Rogue Wed nesday evening, h reports, when a stoelhead grabbed the tackle he was using In small trout fishing. , His first realization that the game fish had struck was In the form of a great Jar. He was using a three and a quartor ounce polo, which tho steolhead all but removed from his grasp. He battled with .the spirited fish for more than half an hour and finally granted hlra all honors as the eteelhcad .broke from the lino near the bank and traveled back to the depths of his water homo. Isaacs reports that he has had sovcral steclhead on his line at his fishing haunt. Big Rock lodge, this season, but they have all been too wild for bun. The fun IS Just as great, he maintains, as the realiza tion of landing them. Anglers disagree on this question, some maintaining that It is more sportsmanlike to fish with small tacklo. granting the steclhead every chance tor escape, and others . that It Is better to use heavy tackle and play the fish out on the start.

The dolorous plaints of old John Public, It Is said, have reached the hearts of the solons of the United States Golf association, or at any rate annoyed their ears, until the situation seems to Indicate a rem edy of some kind. At any rate, a change. Ideas concerning the change are fairly divided between a straight re. version to the 1.63 of yesteryear and still another combination, retaining the present diameter, 1.68. and rais ing tht weight to the old status, 1.63 Some people fancy this would be a better ball than either the old or the current projectile.

No Senm ot llumot As for ms, feeble and low In mind and generally worn out trying to make the public understand what la. good for It, I sincerely hope ' the U. s. G. A. develops a sense of humor and returns the standard to tho old 1.62 as soon 'as it can be done with out undue hardship on the already long suffering manufacturers. When one of the leading humor- oua magazines of the country can put on a campaign of months, al legedly on behalf of the long suffer ing average goiters, and not a line of sensible Investigation Is offered the public, it seems to me that the best thing to do is to give back the 1.62 ball. , However, I wouldn't go so far as to offer a logical extension of that policy that ot permitting the golf ing public to vote on changing the else ot the hole to six Inches, or to ballot on any of the other ways to reduce the game to runt golf with out the macabre hazards ot that cur ious pastime. It would be a lot of fun to observe old John Public with his old ball restored and without an alibi. The new ball, thanks to the hard pressed and frenctto columnists, and professional funny men, has grown in seven months to bs the most mag nificent, satisfactory and altogether fool proof alibi in the history of any sport. . . ttVinirn Piny Right At the same time our lady play ers are scoring better with the new ball than ever before, and the ladles are the ones who play golf today as the old game originally was Intended to be played, with a lot of clubs not so much a long drive and a itlck and a putt. But the proprietor of this column was never of the stuff of which cru saders are constructed.. I considered the new ball somewhat more difficult for the expert to score with and a lot easier for the average player and the duffer. I still consider It so. But I'm far from an ambition to fight, bleed and die for It. I'd rather alt back and observe the duffer, with his ball restored and his alibi removed. After all, I don't play the darned game any more, anyway 1 llrllhh Hope It la not exactly a remote noes! blllty that the English in a rather oblique fashion may partially even up golf matters this year by scoring a victory in the u. 8. amateur. The chance will come through the efforts of T. Philip Perkins. British amateur champion In 1994, who has since moved to America. Perkins In the American open this year finished ahead of all the Brtt Ish pros who came over for the Ryder cup matches, and he ended In a tie for seventh phtre, N was ahead ot such competent Amerlaan profession als as Mao Smith, Johnny Parrel), Al Esplnoaa and Harry Cooper.
