DATES FOR GOLF FIXTURES
Events of the Year Placed by the
Executive Committee.
EASTERN OPEN Is NOT YET FIXED
only One Championship of Importance
IL Left Date and that
Concerns New England
Mostly.

NEW YORK. July 4-The executive com
mittee Of the Metropolitan Golf association
has selected the Garden City golf links for
the Lesley cup competition between teams
from the local district and the Philadel-
phia Golf association. The games will be
played October ? and 3. The local team
has won the trophy for the last three
years. ever since the contest was started.
and a strong team will be picked to retain
the trophy for another year. In fact, so
good is the material TO choose from that.
Walter ]. Travis, who has been asked 20
to act as captain Of the Metropolitan team,
has requested the committee to appoint
a special committee to select the team this
year, and the following men were named
for this purpose. William Fellowes Nor
gan, Leighton Calkins and Fndlay S.
Douglas.
The executive committee has also granted
the dates of August 20, q and p to the
Deal Golf club for an open tournament,
and a tournament at the Morris County
Golf club has been sanctioned during the
second or third week in October. Plans
have been perfected for the open metropoli-
tan championship, which will be held on
the Baltusrol club links on September "a
and %.
Within ten days half a dozen important
fixtures. long swinging in the balance have
been arranged so that # is now possible
to give an almost complete schedule for
the next four months. Few dates were
asked in April and May, the clubs ap-
parently being undecided. Now, however,
the calendar has reached such a point that
it is certain the autumn will bring as many
.-s - 80 IL
success remain to be seen.
The only new event so far his season
was at Wykagyl, which was offset by the
loss of the usual June tourney at Knoll
wood. AS a partial offset to these adj
vanced dates. the national amateur. this
year, is shifted from July to September
and the national open from June to August,
probably the latest date on which the
latter has ever been held. Taa women's
national. too, will be two weeks later thar
in the past. An additional fall date, this
year, will be the Metropolitan open in
September, omitted last year. About the
only important fixture still undecided is
the eastern open championship. AS that
event was held in Boston. last fall, ans
the national open in Philadelphia, In June
1907, the contest will naturally fall to somt
Metropolitan club, probably in October. The

rifles is an L~naccustomed range. A liberal
percentage over the actual numbers in
team contests ere allowed to shoot in each
match, but the only shots Of the best
scores are Included in the teams total.
There are other conditions quite rev, such
as position aiken VI at the firing poinIs.

a series of distances up to go metres. sew

OLYMPIC GOLF TURNS OUT A FROST
Champion Lyon of Canada TENS of
Americana Reception in London.


NEW YORK, July 4.-George s. Lyon.
champion golfer of Canada and runner-up
in the national championships at Engel-
wood in 1905, was interviewed in London
just before sailing for home as to the
trouble over the olympic gold medal. He
decided not to accept the medal on the
ground hat all the entries except his were
irregularly made and thrown out. He Is
naturally indignant because he had his
voyage for nothing. He says he knew that

and Chandler Egan. intended entering tha
Olympic competition in England. Several
big Scottish clubs protested against holding
the competition as CONTRARY to the spirit
of the game"
Mr.. Lyon did not like the Sandwich links

that on the English course all but four
holes are blind" He considers the courses
on this side better bunkered than those OF
England. AS to his showing in the re-

in form for the Olympic contest, and
lasted longer than he expected, not hav-

NEW YORK, July 4.-John Flanagan,
the great weight-thrower of the Irish
American Athlete club, has upset the an

weeks since, Flanagan broke McGrath's
worlds record for throwing the sixteen
pound hammer, adding nearly two feet.
Flanagan's new mark is 175 feet 8 inches.

LATE HOUR WILL TURN TO HIM

Muncie, Ind. March 17.-With the
Eighth district republican congress
sional convention only week off.
George w. Cromer of Muncie, ex-rep-
resentative of this district in congress
maintains his original silence upon the
question Of being a candidate for an
other nomination. For several
months Mr.. Cromer has been looked
upon by politicians generally through
out the district, regardless of political
faith, as being engaged in a deep plot
to take the nomination away from
the others after the convention is in
progress. His plan. it is said. is to
have the delegates to the convention
SO absolutely under his control that
they can ballot several times upon the
other candidates without nominating,
and then, seemingly from necessity,
turn to Cromer and hand the nomina-
ton. The convention is to be held at
Anderson, March %.
Repeated efforts on the part of Mr..
Cromer's intimate political friends to
draw him out along this line have
availed nothing.
The announced candidates for the
nomination for congress are Albert H.
Vestal of Anderson, Senator Nathan B.
Hawkins of Portland and Theodore
| Shockney of Randolph county. Yes
| tai is considered a Cromer man: Haw-
kins never has been particularly act
i've on either side of the Cromer war,
while Shockney several times has
openly opposed the Muncie man in his
political ambitions.
| Within the last two or three weeks
| two elements have entered into the
race that may have an important
bearing upon the action of the conven-
| ton delegates. One was the half
entry of G. B. Slaymaker of Anderson
! into the contest for the nomination and
the other was the report that Mr..
Cromer would give his support to "the
candidacy of Senator Hawkins.
SIaymaker Is Receptive.
Mr.. Slaymaker is not to be consider
| ed a candidate for the nomination in
the strict sense of the word. Rather
he is in the attitude of the man who is
willing to accept if the honor is thrust
upon him.
Mr.. Slaymaker has done practically
no work toward furthering his inter
ests outside of Anderson, and his
friends have been no more active.
The report that Mr.. Cromer will
back Senator Hawkins in the race is
not new. Several weeks ago it was
announced here that the Portland can
didate had solicited Mr.. Cromer's aid
and that he would be almost unwilling
to enter the race if Mr.. Cromer intend
ed to start. At that time, however.
Mr. Cromer would say nothing definite
+ about his own candidacy and Senator
| Hawkins was left in the dark.
Friends of Mr.. Slaymaker made
much capital out Of the fact that the
resolutions committee of the Madison
county republican convention failed to
make any mention of Mr.. Vest al
d candidacy in it's convention report.

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

But the other breaks in: She is helpless in that devils hands, who's tricked us both. This man means to kill her,"
 Not as you fear" mutters Barnes. '~Cipriano doubtless came here, in his mind some infamous plot against your life and hers. but now think the same crazy passion for Marina that was in his brother has entered him. Never did your wife look more lovely than when she so nobly offered to go to Corsica to try and bring your sister back"
 Bring my sister back? That's why shes gone" asserts Anstruther Do you suppose any other consideration would have induced her to leave me? She thinks her word is potent among she friends of her childhood in Bocog- nano. Marina is going to Corsica, Barnes, and l go with you. The yes gel is there-come!" Anstruther's rapid strides are carrying him to the door of the hallway, but the Ameri- yGan's voice stays him.
 She will never get to Corsica" says Barnes, sadly.
 Why not?"
 Why not? Danella longs for her Couldn't you see his uncanny passion gradually growing as he looked upon her loveliness2 No, she will not be permitted to get very Tar away from him. Don't you suppose his emissaries o1a Vrft ha over his eye that delivered this das- fard note to her?" Then the tone of the American changes; he says very .solemnly: And yet, l think you can thank God that the passion of the lover has entered this devils heart and taken the passion of the assassin from 1t; for otherwise with his thugs about her. your wife would now be dead You stay here and try and find Marina. As for me, my duty is to go to that island and if she is living, to bring back my bride-if she is dead, ryenge her." continues Burton.
 That is my duty here, rescue or avenge Marna!" cries the English man.
