Annual State Chess Tourney Postponed AMERICAN SWAMPS SCOTCH CARPENTER IN AMATEUR FINAL Little Smashes Four Records in Winning British Title by Lopsided Score Prestwick, Scotland, May 26.—\>) —W. Lawson Little of California de- feated James Wallace, Scottish car- penter, 14 and 13, Saturday for the British amateur golf championship, smashing all existing records for this classic tournament. After gaining a 12-hole lead in the morning round by shooting a sensa- tional 66 to break all records for this strenuous seaside course, Little quick- ly put an end to the one-sided match at the 23rd hole with another display of sub-par golf. He was three under par for the five holes of the after- noon round and eight under par for’ the match. In becoming the third native American to win the title — Jess Sweetser won in 1926 and Bobby Jones in 1930—the 23-year-old Cali- fornia husky set up four records, His margin of victory was the most one- sided ever registered; his lead of 12 holes after the first 18 was the larg- est any finalist ever enjoyed; and his first round 66 shattered the profes- sional record of 69 held by MacDon- ald Smith, as well as the amateur standard of 71 set by F. Blackwell. In the face of this sort of golf, Wallace, the “dark horse” sensation, never really had a chance. Wallace failed to display the same steady, skillful game that he showed in elim- inating George T. Dunlap, Jr., Fri- day and four other Walker cup play- ers on previous rounds. But, even if he had, it wouldn’t have helped him, what with his birdie on the third of Postponement of the annual state chess tournament, scheduled to have been held here May 29 and 30, was announced Saturday by C.

At the same time it was announced by Water Commissioner J. B. Smith that a further reduction, to apply to the general rate, would be made la- ter, probably about July 1. In announcing the lawn rate cut, Smith said the commission recognized. that it is “socially desirable” to make the rate as low as possible in order that people may protect their invest- ments in lawns, trees and shrubs without undue burden. The new rate is 10 cents per 100 cubic feet above the average of win- ter consumption, for which the nor- mal rate is charged. The old rate was 15 cents per 100 cubic feet above winter n City Auditor M. H. Atkinson said the bills for May would be delayed by reason of the commission’s action, since it will be necessary to refigure them on the basis of the new rate.
