WOMEN'S TOURNEY DELAYED BY RAIN DEL MONTE, Calif., Feb. 11.—A driving rain starting at 9:45 this morning delayed starting of the qualifying round in the Pebble Beach golf championship for women.

Lane, electrical engineer WILLS MAY NOT GET FIRST SHOT NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—That attitude in official quarters here toward Harry Wills' pretentious as a challenger for the heavyweight title is one of neutral tolerance was indicated today when Chairman George E. Brower, of the State Athletic commission, let it be known that the board would not grant automatically Wills the first shot, if any, at Jack Dempsey's trick nose. The sepia-tinted young man will have to take his chances along with the rest of the field. Brower intimated. In so doing, he ignored the fact that Wills has had a challenge of two years' standing filed with the commission and in consequence should be at the head of the line that forms on the left. The board has set a precedent by taking this stand in the case of challengers for other championships titles. "I have informed Paddy Mulens that Wills' defi will receive the same consideration that other challengers," Brower said. "I cannon however, commit myself in a variance about giving Wills preference over other men. He have to take his chances with rest." The chairman would make statement on the announced I to bring Dempsey and Gibborg together early next summer in Wills among the innocents standers.

Lane, electrical engineer who has been conducting the radio tests, explained today's failure as due probably to the complete unscrewing of the light bulb thru its constant jarring. He does not take the silence, coupled with the fact that the ammeter shows the light is not burning, as an indication that Collins is dead. Definite statement that the diggers were no more than two or three feet from a tunnel that may lead to Collins' prison, was made here at noon today by H.T. Carmichael, director of operations. He based his prediction on the fact that cave crickets are increasing in number as the shaft is deepened. "Since they never burrow more than two or three feet from a cavern I believe we are near a tunnel," Carmichael said. "We are also finding an increasing number of crevices as we dig down." A new entrance to the cave was found today due to extreme cold weather prevailing here. The contrast of heat in the cave and the surface cold caused heat waves to rise from a crevice. It was investigated and the entrance found. It will be explored further.

The most prominent births salaried man is a Class Ad in this paper. a highly successful stage play, has at last reached the screen via Paramount. It will be shown at the California theatre on Wednesday and Thursday. To say that the screen version of "Merton" is hilariously funny is but putting it mildly. As a picture it is a delightful mixture of wistful drama, magnificent burlesque and keen satire. Walter Wooda, who is responsible for the adaptation, and James Cruze, the producer, have taken full advantage of the many opportunities the screen affords. They have incorporated comedy situations and bits of "business" that were out of the question in the spoken version because of the limitations of the stage. The result is the screen play is an alternating succession of laughs, chuckles and grins. The plot is too well known to need retelling in detail. It concerns an awkward, country youth who is consumed with a desire to become a famous motion picture star. What happens to him when he goes to Hollywood, his trials, his earnest, pathetic strivings, his cruel disillusionments and his final unsuspecting triumph constitute one of the really great epics of the screen. Glenn Hunter, who created the title role on the stage, is also the star of the picture. He is Merton to the life! His gawkiness, his erude naturalness and his terrifiable sincerity are typical of the average, small-town movie-struck boy. Viola Dana has the featured feminine role, and her sympathetic interpretation of "Flips," the girl who makes Merton a star against his will, proves her the ideal choice for that part. "The Luck of the Foolish," a Mack Sennett comedy with Harry Langdon in the leading role and a late issue of the International News will complete the screen program.
