VACATION AUTOMOBILE.
How the Machine Can BE Turned

While the rich people keep on using auto
mobiles to run down bicyclists and carriage
drivers, il has remained for a band of gyp-
riage 10 a really sensible service. A band
of these nomads is reported 10 be travelling
in a slow-gOing machine wagon divided into
three compartments, "A kitchen, dining room
and sleeping room. With this vehicle the
owner says he can make fifty miles a day,
when he needs to so so far.
What an impetus that model is bound 10
give to summer vacation travel. when the
idea, becomes better known. The house
boat is the most desirable vehicle so far
devised for an ambUlatory vacation. But
the automobile must be much cheaper than
the houseboat, and it will enable it's own
ers to move through mountain regions that
they can traverse in no other way so COM
fortably and so cheaply. Driving through
ideal way 10 enjoy a vacation. But for a
party of four, which might easily travel in
a machine wagon, a driving trip involves
the hire OF two horses and the feeding of
the horses and the party at the wayside
hotels. The cost Is at least commensurate
with the enjoyment and puts driving par

slight; less than board I'm even a mountain

a long felt want. II the gvDsies hasten IFS

good deed IN a naughty world. They need
the credit for that as badly as vacation
seekers need the house automobile.

|. N. JAMES Is CHAMPION
DEFEATED EBEN w. BYERs IN THE
GOLF TOURNAMENT FINALS.
Finished 4 Up and = to Play, with a
Spectacular Put-Winners OF Ten
mis- Tourney HonOrs.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Louis y. James, OF
Glenview. a nineteen-year-old boy. to-day
won the highest golfng honors that can
come TO an amateur in the United States
by defeating Eben ". Byers. Of the Ale
gheny Golf Club, Of Pittsburg. il the finals
OF the annual championship tournament.
His victory was decisive. as shown both
by the medal scores and 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
hshed his ball out OF the cup his cheering
eliminates had hoisted him on their shout
ders. James's medal score was: Morning,
out, 10; IN, 80. Afternoon, out, A; in, 81 for
seven holes. Byers's was: Morning. out,
AZ; in. -. Afternoon, out, A; IN, q for
seven holes.
The young champion won his laureis on
the greens Of the GlenvieW course. Both
drove beautifully all day. occasionally d
bah would go wrong. but this was due more
TO The slippery condition OF the tees thah
10 faulty form. There was little 10 choose
in this respect, but when James used ~hlS
cleek, his midiron or his putter his shots
were so true as to excite enthusiastic cOEl-
ment from Willie Smith,. Auchterlonle
Leslie and other veteran professionals.
Byers lost the game on the greens. To-
day 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 in
stance he failed. He trimmed the cup four
times, but as former Champion Travis
said when Byers defeated him. 1T IS not
what a mar ought to do at golf. but what
he does that counts" and in the delicate
play on the green's Byers was found want
ing.
Probably a golf championship was never
decided under such unfavOrable conditions.
Part Of the morning play was during a
rainstorm that was almost a deluse. Oc-
casiOnally the rain would let up a little.
Then 1t would let down a great deal more
and great pools Of water formed on the al
ready thoroughly soaked course. The play
was entirely over the first nine holes of the
eighteen-hOle course, several of the greens
Of the last nine being entirely under water.
The gallery that followed the two contest
ants was probably the largest that ever
Witnessed a golf game in this country. IN
deferred by the storm, society turned out
in full force and fully 1850 golf lovers, a
third Of them women, trudged through the
driving rain behind the players.
