CHICAGO GOLF CLUB. Wheaton. Sep
tember 11.-Robert E. Gardner, the Yale
field captain, and member of the Hins-
dale Golf Club Of Chicago, was two up
on Former National Champion H. Chand-
Ter Egan Of Exmoor at the end OF the
morning round Of eighteen holes in the
final for the national amateur golf cham
p!onshp today.
Egan tainted away in the locker room
yesterday afternoon. shortly after con-
cluding his grueling match with Chick
Evans, the result of an acute attack OF
indigestion, and last night was under the
care of physician. His drawn features
this morning plainly showed his poor
physical condition. and 1t was also re-
iected in his play. Egan showing none OF
the sturdiness that has twice brought
him the highest honors Of golf. 1t was
evident the former champion was relying
entirely on his nerve to carry him through
the match.
The two started their battle in the pres.
ence of large gallery. Egan was APP
parently a slight faverite as the two
young Chicagoians started on their Cruel
ing 36-hole struggle.
Egan Weak and Trembling.
Weak and trembling from severe at
tack of indigestion. Egan played the first
nine holes of the match today in the
poorest form he has displayed in the
tournament. and had his nineteen-year-
old opponent taken advantage Of his op-
portunity the game would have been
much more one-sided.
Gardner missed four puts of less than
five feet. falling down on the first. third,
fourteenth and fifteenth green's. but
atoned in a measure for the poor work
by holding a fifteen-foot putt on the
eleventh green and one Of twenty feet
on the thirteenth, being two strokes under
bogey at the latter hole.
Egan. on the other hand, missed COM
paratively short puts on the second and
ninth green's. drove badly number OF

The tragedy of the rooster. now being

found the job almost too much strain
upon his imagination and fancy, but kept

Miller, reaching DR.. Tindall today.
The poem Is written apropos of DR..
Tindalrs suggestion that the Growing

that now the once rugged outlines Of

Cen. jackson, which stands in the center Of

THE TARIFF BILL.

On the whole, the tariff bill as il
has been prepared by the ways and
means committee of the house of rep
resentatives and presented to congress
| for consideration is satisfactory, or
ought to be, to those who have been
advocating an adequate revision of the
tariff Many of the essential features
of the present highly protective tariff
are retained in it and in several in
stances through the provision of max
inum and minimum rates which inn
pose an average maximum duty of
twenty per cent in excess of the pres
ent tariff schedules. But in other just
as important instances there is a revi-
soin downward, such as a cut of SO per
cent in steel and lumber schedules,
cut of forty per cent on boots and
shoes and the provision for admitting
free iron ore, hides, tallow, cot
tonseed oil and works of art of more
than twenty years old. A tax is lev
led on inheritances which it is esti-
mated will bring in a yearly revenue
of $20,0OO,000 and it is also figured
that the other provisions of the bill
will materially increase the revenue of
the country to an aggregate of not
less than $5O,0O0,OOO. With normal
business conditions resumed it is
probable that this increase will be
enough to meet the yearly expenses
of the government.
One of the most gratifying features
of the bill is the placing of hides on
the free list and the reduction of the
duty on boots and shoes by forty per
cent. The present duty on them is
S5 per cent ad valorem so it will be
seen that the reduction which is pro-
posed is a most material one. With
free hides and this reduction in the
tariff on manufactured boots and
shoes it is reasonable to suppose that
the prices of shoes in this country will
be at more reasonable figure in a
year or so. They have been exces-
sively high for the past few years and
have placed real burdens on the pock- |
etbooks of everyone in the country. |
1t has been figured that the removal
of the duty on hides will mean an
annual saving to the people of $30,-
100000 in their shoe bill and the re-
moval of the reduction of the duty on |
shoes will further in
crease the saving.
But it is bad policy to count chick |
els before they are hatched The |
tariff bill which has been prepared |
has long and hard. row to travel be- |
fore it becomes law. Its trainers and |
the people at large may not be able |
to recognize it after it has received |
the gentle ministrations of the SEN
ate. Still everyone should hope for |
the best and be thankful that the tar
if revision has been undertaken with |
such good start in the right direc- |
ton.
