FOREIGN GOLFERS OUT.
Professionals Have Not Been Invited
10 the Open Championship.

Boston, Feb. 1S.-knights Of the driver
and "brasSey" and opponents OF the
gentle art Of teeing are discussing with
no little interest and amusement the re
cent declaration of the leading profess
siOnal golf players Of Europe that they
would not compete in the open champion
ship tournament of the United States next
August at Myopla. The general question
arises as 70 who invited the foreigners
over here anyhow.
According to Boston authority,
Arnaud Massey, open champion Of Great
Britain; James Braid, title holder in 1906
and 1906; Harry Warden, winner in 1875.
lS9S. 1899. and 1906, and J. II. Taylor.
champion in 1894, 1895. and 1900. the
quartet named in connection with the
proposed visit, have received no invitation
from the MyOpia Hunt club people
The open championship Of Great Britain
will be held AT Prestwick. Scotland. next
June, so that the foreigners would have
plenty Of time 20 visit this country fully
a month in advance of the Myopia week
If they so desired The United States
open tile becomes an honor more difficult
10 obtain each year At Hamilton the
best players have the best chance. for
no course in the country assures a fairer
result in the open competition.

Boston, Mass. Feb. lS.-Honey Melody.
former welter-weight champion. has
fought his last fight. if his sponsor and
former manager. Johnny Mooney. has
anything TO say in the matter.
The Armofy a. a. Of Boston. tried 20
get Melody to sign for a battle last week.
and it was then Mooney showed his hand.
producing from medical specialist
which stated a hard blow would be
Mellody's death warrant.
II appears that when Melody was de-
feated by Frank Manteu. the end came
more through a general collapse than
from a knockout blow. Mooney was at
the ringside and worked increasingly over
his charge for four hours. while he went
from one state of collapse into another.
The examination followed aad Mooney
kept his secret until Honey tried TO sign
for another bout. Now he is barred in
Boston.
Il have argued with Melody against
going into the ring again. and I think
too much Of him 10 allow him 70 take
