Open Championship Possibilities -
Tucker Takes Green.

"Wha'll We bask?" is the question heard
whenever the Scotch professionals talk OF
the open championship. Auchteronie Is
undoubtedly the favorite. James Laing OF
the Crescent Athletic Club says that he will
bet 800 that Auchterlonie Is in the first
three, and the same amount OF him against
any other who may be named. VIII Smith
is the next in favor. for few seem to think
that Fred Herd will win again. or the
Eastern men Joe" Lloyd. Willie Anderson,
and Willie Dunn of the older guard, each
has friends, while, of the new men, Dave
Hunter and George Low find some support.
Hunter, blythe way, has taken w B'n Mich
OILS challenge, and has written for dates
to play home home match, of -
holes, for 500 Il side NiChol cannot
complain CT Il lack Of takers. for since his
sweeping challenge to play any man in
the country was issued, it has been ac-
cepted by Willie Anderson. and now by
Hunter, with several links to be heard
from. Herbert Hartman and Findluy $.

alone, amounts TO $4,000. Is partly COW
