FINE COURSE UNDER WATER
Heavy Rains Seriously Interfere With
Coed Work-0nly Nine Holes in Use
-Westerners Put Up Splendid Ex-
hihition.

GLEN VIEW, H., July 1s.-Two
Westerners, Louis James, of Glen View,
and Eben NJ. Byers of the Allegheny
Country Club, Of Pittsburg will contest
for the amateur golf championship of
the United states here tomorrow.
Each earned his right to play in the
finals by sterling matches today, in
which james defeated F. O. Reinhari,
of Baltusrol. by up and l, while BY
ers beat DR.. D. P. Fredericks. of oil
City, Pa, up and 3.
With nearly one-half of the cham
plonship golf course under water and
rain pouring down as it does in Hawaii.
the United States Golf Association Of
licials today decided that play should
be continued in the semi-fnals by using
the first nine holes.
Almost Cloudburst.
Last nights dcluge. which amounted
to a cioudburst, caused the river that
traverses the course to overflow it's
banks. The seventeenth, twelfth, and
thirteenth greens were soon submerged.
vi t'I iNtNptI anu Il COL pS u
worked nearly all night cutting away
The dams and making sluices for the es-
cape of the floods.
At 2 p. m. 1t looked as if the south
western portion of the course would be
drained in tire to play, but another
storm came up early in the morning, and
soon made lakes out of the fair greens
and the valleys.
Nine Holes Used.
1t was finally decided to use the first
nine holes only. The James-Reinhart
match was rather a heartbreaking af-
fair for the Glen View boy as. after
running the first couple of holes, he got
badly down, being four holes behind at
one time. and never got a lead again
until the match was almost completed.
Although Byers finally defeated Fred
ericks by up and 3 to play, the recent
conqueror of Travis had the Oil City
doctor down at the first nine holes.

Of the people, and so obtain justice for them

The outcome was a letter addressed to
General Washington by Colonel Nicola, an
officer Of the army, which, after a recital Of
fulsome praise OF the commander-in-chief,
said, In part: owing to the prejudice OF
the people II might not a hrst be prudent to
assume the title Of royalty, but " all things
were once adjusted we believe strong argu-
ments might be produced FOR admitting the
title of king.
OF what avail would have been Bunker
Hill, Concord, Yorktown, Valley Forge and
the long, weary years of strife had there
been a less determined man than Washing
ton In command?
Thus forewarned, Washington issued an
order for a meeting of the officers at the
Temple. General Gates presided, and amid
great solemnlty the commander In. chief {
arose and read his address, which was n
mastery and eloquent plea for faith In the
Justice Of their country, terming those who
would overturn the government traitors, and
finally emphatlcally declining to be made a
king.

elks' teeth now bring from 81 to $40, and
that they are very scarce even at tho latter
figure, and that TO the Indians they repre-.
sent so much wealth, the value Of this Gu

ciated.
Many romances and few tragedies are
connected with this dress. Forty Indian
maidens, robed In the dress, have sworn al
legianco to swarthy braves. 1t Is held by
the Indians that a maiden who becomes
a squaw robed In II may feel sure Of holding

Quaker Dudley who lives out OH
Central street, HallOwell, was in the
city. yesterday, calling on friends. He
brought up a heavy load of potatoes
for State Librarian Carver for whom
he has been doing a little farming,
this summer. He planted about an
acre of potatoes for himself and half
an acre for Mr.. Carver. When MIR.
Carver returned from Europe he Wis
tied his potato patch and directed That
the tops he cut. The result was that
none of his potatoes rotted while those
in the ncighhoring fields rotted badly.
Mr.. Dudley mentioned this as n tribute
to the agricultural accomplishments OF
the popular State official. Mr.. Dudley
is 81 years of age, but is as active as
most men. 30 years younger. and not
only harvested his own and Mr.. Car
ver's potatoes but helped several of his
neighbors in the digging season.
