H. CHANDLER ECAN CHAMPION
He Wins the Gslf Contest at Chicago from
His Cousin.
LAST GAME AN EXCITING CONTEST
The Loser FIuBs His Drive and
IN HOpsIessIy Bunkered a.
the Twenty-FOurth
Hole.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-H. Chandler Egan Of
the Exmoor Country club, won the title Of
amateur golf champion Of the Western Golf
association today on the Chicago Golf club
line, by defeating his cousin, Walter e.
Egan Of Lake Geneva, one up in three
holes. Never since the championship was
instituted by the association four years ago
have the finals been marked by such brill
liant golf as was seen today.
Chandler Egan had won the gold medal
from a big field Of starters In the qualify
ing round with a record breaking total Of
1853 strokes for the most dlflcutt golf course
in the United States and was picked as a
likely winner from his cousin, who is three
years older than the Exmoor boy. But
Walter fought every foot Of the contest
with Chandler bringing matters all square
at the thirty-sixth hole mark, with a
c~yclonic finish in the last nine holes. An
irresistible desire to play an iron shot
safe from the bunker guarding the first
green (thirty-seventh hole) instead Of trust
ing to a brassey that would carry to the
green and the resulting bad lie In the mud
in the north corner of the bunker, spoiled
Walter Egan's last chance to take the
match from Chandler, and for the second
time in the western championship Walter
had to be content with the runner up
tronhy.

Foreman Pitches Nicely.

Monk" Foreman made his debut with the
Rangers in the second game, and in all save
one inning he more than made good. That
was the fifth. when two three-baggers and
a single netted st. Joseph two runs. Omaha
had only one. and 1t seemed from the close
way both teams were playing that the extra
tally might win the game for the visitors.
After that Monk" was water tight and along
In the sixth Glade gave the chance to beat
that pair. With two men out Stone singled
and then Glade hit Dolan and Stewart In
turn. With the bases full Thomas came
up and responded in grand style with a long
single to left, scoring Stone and Dolan.
No more tallies we're necessary. as all
the visitors could do with Monk" was two
scattered singles in the next four innings
after that fifth. The locals had scored one

it has always been, and 1t Is perfectly H. lustrated by his attitude toward Powell Clayton, our ambassador to Mexico.
 MT. Clayton Is henchman of MT. Han- mas, and his Arkansas machine is the strongest and probably, with the excep- tion of Wimberly's machine in Louisiana, the worst in the South. It is a machine which works in utter unconsciousness Of the existence of morality. The federal offices have been sold to their incum- bents by those who are also seeking them. In one instance a postmaster who de- sired the office simply for the honor of being an official, bought the appointment by agreeing to pay over its salary to an- other applicant. Judicial and other oni- cers have likewise secured their places by agreeing to pay portion or tneir re- ceipts to rivals. To cap me Whoie q United States judge has signed these cor rupt contracts as a witness to them. Such utter unconsciousSess or rripery and genei al turpitude hos been o'spiayeu by Powel Claytons organization that It is safe to say that the Arkansas Repup- lican machine has never heard of moral principle. MT. Hanna is perfectly con scious that this has been going on and the only reason why officials wno perpetrate these offenses are still in office IS that they were appointed by Mir. Mckinley on the recommendation of MT. Hanna ana that their terms of office have not ex- pired.
 President Roosevelt is in very em- barrassing position, for he cannot punish these men for cffelses committed petore he came into office without appearing to condemn his predecessor. It is perfectly we'll understood however, that MT, Han ma parceed out the patronage ot the South. and made the selection ot the or flee holders. Powell Clayton's case IS singular and furnishes another illustra- tion of MT. Hanna's standard of pupiic morality. A char ge Is made against Clay ton which may or may not be true It Is that he is g. stockbolder and director in a mine in Mexico, against which Amer jeans not connected with the mine nave claims.

MT. Laffan and the New York Sun.

 From Printers Ink.
 What are the facts of the change of ownership of the Sun?
 MT. William M. Laffan has bought of MT. Paul Dana, representing the Lana estate, the 176 shares of the caplral stock of the Sun Company. It is understood that the purchase price was $700,000. The total number of shares of the Sun Company is $50. Does MT. Dana go out?
 No, I understand he continues his editorial relation with the Sun news paper.
 But MT. Laffan is the directing force?
 Yes.
 Well, has not that been so for a good while? think it has ever since MT. Charles A. Dana's death.
 It was not so in the lifetime of the elder Dana was it?
 No, but MT. Laffan was for many years preceding the elder Dana s death a potential factor in the Suns affairs.
 Is he much more potential now than he has been for dozen years? I think he is.
 You do not know the facts as stated of your own knowledge? No, but I happen to know that one day, about two weeks ago, MT. Dana deposited $700,O00 with the Colonial Trust Company
