MYERS DEFEAT DECISIVE
Women Golf Lovers Follow the Play
in Pouring Rain.
JAMES IS WILDLY CHEGRED AT THE END
Society Out in Full Force to Witness the Contest.
The Day on the ')iamond. Games OF
National American and
Souihern eapiias
Southera leag ues.
(By the Associated Press.)

Glenvew Golf Course. Ills, July 49,
year-old, today won for his own the
highest golfng honors that can come to
an amateur in the United States by de-
feating Edwin NJ Byers, of the Allie
gheny Golf Club, of Pittsburg, in the
finals of the annual championship tourna-
ment His victory was decisive, as shown
both by the medal scores and the hole
play. He finished four up and two to
play, with a spectacular putt of at least
ten yards over the uneven, water soaked
surface of the seventh green, and even
before he had flshed his ball out OF the
cup he was grabbed by his wildly cheer
ing club mates and hosted on their
shoulders. James medal score was:
Morning, out 49, in 80; afternoon out Al.
in 81. for seven holes. Byers' was:
Morning out 43, in 43; afternoon, out A,
in 80. for seven holes.
The young champion won his laurels
on the green's. Both drove beautifully
all day. James shots were so true as
to excite enthusiastic comment from
willie" Smith, Leslie and other Wes-
tern professionals who learned the game
amid the sand dunes of Scotland. Time
and again he laid long approach pitches
dead for the hole. and only once or
twice during the long, trying contest
did he fail to negotiate his puts.
Tall and slender with the fragile
limbs of an over-grown boy, he used
every ounce of his weight to the best
advantage in his drives and brasseys and
seldom failed to cover 200 yards from
the tee.
Byers lost the game on the greens.
At Yale and in the East, the young
Pittsburger gained the reputation of be-
ing unreliable in his short game, un-
beatable at times and woefully lacking
in accuracy at others. Today was his
Off day. Three times he had short puts
to win the hole, and twice, had he
putted down from short distances, the
hole would have been halved. In every
instance he failed He trimmed the cup
four times, but nthe delicate play on
the green's Byers was found wanting.
Probably a golf championship was
never decided under such unfavorable
conditions. Part of the morning play
was during a rain storm that was al
most a deluge. The play was entirely
over the first nine holes of the eighteen
courses, several of the greens of the
last nine being entirely under water
The gallery that followed the two con-
testants probably was the largest that
ever witnessed a golf game in this coun-
try. Undeterred by the storm society
turned out in full force. and fully six
teen hundred golf lovers. a third of
them women, trudged through the driv
ing rains behind the players.

not come in the nature of a suit, but as
case in equity, justice and fairness.
There was considerable discussion among
the members of the board, endeavoring
to ascertain the fact and to place the re-
sponsibility, and to determine from what

CASTRO WILL RETURN.
Abandcns the idea of Fighting and Will Go to
Caracas
(By the Associated Press.>

(By the ASSoc1a TED l'feSSl
Washington, July 19.-Minister Bowen,
at Caracas, has cabled the State Depart
ment as follows:
1.-The President of Venezuela has
abandoned the idea of attacking the enc
my at Barcelona and is proposing ito re-
turn to Caracas soon."
President Castro went to Barcelona,
which was partially invested by the rev.
olutionists, about ten days ago, landing
from a government warship and assert
ing that he would clear out the rebels
within fifteen days. He had a consid-
erable force of soldiers with him and
the reason for his change of mind in the
absence of decisive battle can only be
coniectured here. 1t is known that he
is unable to regain Caracas by land, ow-
ing to the presence between himself and
the capital of revolutionary forces, and
he must return by water as he came.

Attempt to Break Through Defences
to the Coast.
INNER SQUADRON TG THROW OUT SCOUTS
The Movements Involved in this Problem May
Extend From Cape Hatteras on The South
10 Easporl, Maine, on
the North.
CBy the Associated Fress ,

Washington, July 1.-THE summer
manoeuvres Of the North Atlantic Squad
ron Off the New England and Middle At
lantic coast have now actually begun
From now until the end of the first week
iii September, the squadron will work
out problems prepared by the Dewey, or
General Board, and busy itself with drills
and eyolutions with short interruptions
for coaling and taking on supplies.
The picturesque feature of the sum-
n7ers work and the one which is excit-
ing the most interest will be the attempt
OF several war vessels, representing an
enemy, to gain the coast through vigi
liant defending squadron. The latter Will
send out scouts and use it's utmost
endeavor to locate the invaders before
any of them may slip through the lines
and put the guardians Of the nations
safety to shame.
The Navy Department now announces
that this feature of the manoeuvres will
take place from the goth TO the 25th of
August, inclusive. The movements in
volved in this problem game, it is an
nounced, will not extend below Cape Hat
teras to the South nor beyond Eastport,
Maine to the North, but the specific
wimits within which the enemy's ships
will be defied to reach the coast, will
not be made public. Only the officers in
command of the ships engaged will be
furnished with that information.
1t is understood that the attacking
force will be given certain specified
limits within which to strike, and the
defenders naturally also will be made
aware of these limits. But it is not de-
sired to make the information public
property for fear that following the
movements so closely may result in in
formation as to the vessels whereabouts
at the critical time leaking to the oppo-
site side, thus destroying the value of
the game and depriving it of it's zest.

Washington, Nov. 1o.-General Will
liam Crozier, chief OF the bureau OF
ordnance, in his annual report to the
secretary of war, says the improved
musket is completed and tried with very
satisfactory results, the various changes
not only improving the weapon, but
cheapening and accelerating its produc-
tion. The rod bayonet is a feature OF
the new rife. Its advantages Is said to
lie in the fact that it lightens the weight
of the gun and dispenses with the bayonet
and bayonet scabbard now in use and in
place of which, init 4s%'ing tools may
be carried by soldier. The new piece
weighs but little less than 9I pounds,
considerably lighter than the German
and Mauser, vet has greater velocity
and greater penetration 1t is noted
that opinions differ as to the value OF
the rod bayonet. The construction. OF
s. 900 new muskets has been authorized.
