students on hygienic and other subjects

in the spring, which is becoming more of
a feature every year. and innovations In

GOLFER ANDERSON.
Crack Apawamis Professional May In
wade England

There Is every possibility of Willie" An
derson boarding the lion in his den, and
playing in the open golf championship OF
Great Britain next spring.
Anderson at present is engaged with the
Apawamis Club at Rye. N. Y, and the
only stumbling block to his effort to wrest
the championship from the crack Brit
ishers is the light in which the Apawamis
people regard 1t.
Anderson comes from a famous family Of
golfers who claim North Berwick as their
home. His first appearance here was in
1897. when he was eighteen years old, and
in the open championship at the Chicago
Club he was beaten a stroke by joe
Lloyd, thanks to the latter holing out the
home hole in three. In lieu of a par four
The following year Willie" Anderson was
third in the open at Myopia to Fred
fourth. At Baltimore, in 1899, he was fifth
to Willie Smith. George Low, VAL
Fitzjohn and w. H. Way. The following
year at Wheaton, Harry Vardon was first
J. H. Taylor second and Anderson out Of
the money with score of 339.
After a tie with ALEC" Smith at Myopia
In 1901, he won the play off. He was I'M
placed at Laurence Auchterloine in the
championship at Garden City the next year
At Baltusrol, however, last year he was
again the winner, while he won this sea-
son at Chicago.
Because this country has not had such
masters as Vardon, Herd or Braid perma-
nently engaged here, our professionals have
been treated with indifference by British
authorities.
No one claims for Anderson that he Is
better than Vardon, Braid or that ilk, but
one does claim that he is a fine and natural
master of the game. and far better than
many who receive eulogiums In the British
papers.
Many professionals can play as well as
Anderson-"for love;'' just as many in
Great Britain can play as well as Vardon,
Braid & Co. when they have an easy
match. The difference, however, Is the
fact that vardon, Braid & Co. rise to the
occasion, and so does willie" Anderson

to give to relatives as Christmas gifts.
When he was coming out of the Post once
Department at 4:S0 O'Clock he was ap-

Later Mr.. Fiohr found that he had given
one of his gold SIS pieces to the newsboy.

COTTON MARKET

Closes at a Net Loss of II to
IA Points
SITUATION is CLEARED Up
Liverpool Continued Easy After the
Local Opening and Sent Selling
Orders to This Side.
Sales 100000.
SITUATION is CLEARED UF

Ntw York, September 9.-The cotton
market opened easy at unchanged prices
to a decline of points in response To
lower English cables generally favorable
weather advioes, and increasing reeeir.s.
Trading was moderately active during the
early session. Liverpool CONTINUED easy
after the local opening and sent selling
orders to this side, leading to the sug-
gestion that the active campaign noted
in that market on the previous day had
greatly cleared up the speculative situa-
tion in relation to September contracts,
and the delayed shipments from this side.
At first the market here showed more
or less irregularity and as prices dropped
back to about 30 points under the high
point of yesterday there was a fair de-
mand from the scalpers on the reacting
theory. Wall street kept hammerlng the
market and with hardly reaction of
more than 5 or 6 points the list worked
steadily downward until in the afternoon
II showed net loss of about 10 to II
points.
Later there was a rally of or points
on covering and reports that a tropical
storm that has been working up from
the West Indies had reached Florida and
1t was likely to spread over the entire
eastern belt. This stimulated demand
only for moment, however, the market
finally being barely steady at net loss
of IL to ID points or nearly the lowest
of the session.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales, or
O little better than yesterday. Full ex-
ports were reported but receipts also
ran full and the large into-sight for the
week had some influence on the decline
of the early afternoon.
Receipts at the ports today, 2zS17
against 14193 last week, and 9510 last
