CHANDLER EGAN CHAMPION.
Won Western Golf Honors From hi.
Cousin by Nerxu Plan


Chandler Egan of the Exmoor Country
CLUB Won the title OF amateur golf cham
pion Of the western Golf Association Sat-
urday on the Chicago Golf Clubs links by
defeating his cousin. Walter e. Esan OF
Lake Geneva, up in 81 holes. Never since
the championship was instituted by the as
ISOLATION four years ago have the finals
been marked by such sensational nerye-
testing and at times brilliant golf as was
witnessed Saturday.
Chandler Egan had captured the gold
medal from big field Of starters in the
qualifying round with a record-brea king
total of 163 strokes over one of the most
difficult golf courts in the United States
and was picked as 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 mat
ters all square at the thirty-sixth hole,
with a wonderful finish in the last nine
holes.
A strong desire to play an iron shot safe
from the bunker guarding the first green
of the thirtysseventh hole instead of trust
ing to a brassy, which carried to the green
and the resulting bad lie in the mud, spoil ed
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
trophy. AS he was runner-up last year in
the national golf championship he now
possesses three silver medals emblematio
of his trio of game contests.
At the conclusion of the morning play
Chandler was up. Slicing on account of
a cold northwest wind that blew across the
links was the chief feature of the morning
mistakes made by the rivals. For the first
nine holes in the afternoon play wretched
golf was exhibited by both players in the
long game and on the green's Chandler
had to give up the twenty second hole af-
ter fubbing his drive to bunker and send
ing his ball deep into a gopher hole.
Hopelessly bunkered at the twenty-fourth
hole, he also gave up that hole. His cousin
failed to take advantage of the poor streak
of playing and was generally in trouble at
the same time This partly accounts for
Chambers failure to gain a decided ad-
vantage at the turn for the last quarter
of the race.

Injured Cyclists Improving.

Bennie Munroe and Jimmie Hunter, motor
pace followers, who were so badly injured
in the accident at the Baltimore Coliseum
Friday night, were in a slightly improved
condition last night. DR.. Gushing OF Johns
Hopkins Hospital now thinks Munroe's
hardy constitution will pull him through.
Owing to the delicate operation performed
upon Munroe In the removal of pieces Of
broken bone from his head he must re-
main longer In the hospital than Hunter.
George Leander has so far recovered that
he left the hospital yesterday.
The claim that Nelson would have been
up to Leander and probably past him in
the race but for the accident Friday night
resulted In the Chicago boy Offering TO ride
more.

Quakers Won at Cricket.

The rain of Saturday prevented the dou-
ble-header between the Washington and
Baltimore clubs being played in the latter
city. The two games will be played today.
Manager LOTUS and the Senators return
ed TO Washington Saturday evening and
left for Baltimore at noon today. The sem
atorial leader was seen by The Evening
Star reporter at the Oxford yesterday and
had little news to impart outside of ac-
knowledgiug that he hoped to secure Out
fielder Joe Stanley. now with the New Or
leans club. and Twirler Smith of the Birm-
ingham team. Mr.. LOTUS has been dicker
ing with these men for several months
past and both have promised to report 20
him in this city before the season closes,
but as yet no papers have been signed.
Stanley halls from this city, and his de-
velopment since he played with the Wag-
ners in 1898 has been slow but sure. Joe IS
something of a pitcher, but his chief value
lies in the fact that he hit the ball
hard and often. He has been playing right
field and pitching for the New Orleans
team, and his work attracted the attention
of several managers.
Captain Delehanty practiced last spring
with the New Orleans team, and became
quite intimate with Stanley AS soon as
Del reached Washington almost his first
words were a recommendation that Lotus
sign the Washington boy. At that time
Delehanty said:
He stands up at the plate like batter,
in fact handles himself better than any
youngster l have seen work for many a
year. He has had the edges knocked off
of him through playing in the minor
leagues, and is about due for fast COM
pany.
Manager LOTUS had all the players re
needed at that time, and permitted Stanley
to 60 along unmolested. The players work
this season has shown decided improve
mert over last year. which demonstrates
that he is still coming. Stanley is also fast
on the base lines, n feature which will be
appreciated in Washington.
Frank Smith, the other new man. has
been playing with a weak team all this sea-
son. but any old support was good enough
for him, and he pulled off games with as
many as eight errors charged against mis-
companions. OF course. Smiths work has
been confined to the minor leagues but
there are several veterans in the Southern
League this season, and they all speak we'll
of this pitchers work.

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY.
It Is Proving tc Be Of Value in Curing
Consumption.

New York. Jan. 21-Experimepts are
being made on a most elaborate scale
In London with a modification of Tes-
las high frequency electrical currents
in the treatment OF consumption. Ii
is stated that some remarkable results
have been achieved. says the London
correspondent OF the Herald.
These experiments. for the most part,
have been conducted by DIR. L ]. Box
enham, an eminent West End surgeon,
in the course OF his private practice,
but with the knowledge and approval
Of leading consumption specialists. For
various reasons. but principally be
cause Of evil results which might en-
Tie II the system were used by any but
the most experienced medical men,
with perfect knowledge of the forces
they were dealing with, the expert
ments have been quietly conducted.
Applications for details Of the meth
DDS used have not been encouraged. DIR.
Bohemian has had fitted up most
elaborate apparatus for the production
Of electricity in the particular form In
which 1t is used. the.n result Of which
Is that q current of $1,000 volts is pro
duced. OF such high frequency and ad-
ministcred in such small quantities
that the consumptive patient may re-
ceive 1t without the slightest injury.
The awe-inspiring force of this volt
age may be best appreciated when 1t is
rcpembered that only 500 volts are
employed for driving trains on rail
way. Yet the patient is not conscious
of the enormous electrical pressure.
DIR. Bokenham's experience is that in
very bad cases OF consumption the
cough has been greatly reduced, the
night sweats have disappeared, the ap
petite has improved and there has been
a gain in weight and general health. So
that even If the consumption baccili
have not been destroyed, 1t Is certain
that their virulence has been much de
creased that they have been brought
under control and that the patient has
felt cured. A doubt entertained by
phthisis specialists, who do not ques-
ton this temporary improvement, is
whether it is anything but mere e1-
hiliaration. DIR. Bohemian. however.
has great faith in the future of the sys-
TEN.

We're sent III over the United States.
In December last, as n result of con-
ferences between the leading lead pro-
ducers of Idaho and Utah and officials

Company, it was decided to reduce
prices aud at the same time curtail
production. A harmonious working
arrangement was entered into by all
parties, the price of lead was cut and
the surplus stock which had accumu-
lated was greatly lessened.
The demand among consumers con-
tinued strong, so much SO. in fact, that
last week it was decided to advance
