PHELPS WESTERN GOLF STAR.
Wins Championship in Close Contest
With Evans.

Minneapolis. Aug. l. Mason E.
Phelps, OF Midlothian. won the west
ern amateur golf championship tourney
for the second time by defeating
Charles Evans. Jr., Of Edgewater. the
champion of 1909, by up in hotly
contested match in the finals OF the
Western Golf Association at the Mini
kahda Club. Phelps won the title
for the first in 1908 at Rock Island.
The winner played far better golf
than his opponent, especially during
the afternoon round. Evans was 2 up
at the end Of the morning round, the
eighteenth being the only hole that
Phelps won. In the afternoon, how
ever, the Midlothian youth started
with rush and evened the match at
the end Of two holes. After that Evans
never was able to regain the lead and
Phelps jumped to the fore by win
ming the fifth, but Evans evened it
again at the sixth. The seventh and
eighth went to Phelps, making him 2
UP. which was the biggest lead he had
at any time. The ninth, tenth and
eleventh were halved, and Evans re-
duced Phelps lead to 1 up when he
won the twelfth. That was the last
hole that Evans could win, and the
thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and
sixteenth were halved in par figures
The match ended on the seventeenth
green when Phelps ran down a six
foot putt for two and won the hole.

Of trade has been fightin gthe grow
Of trade has been fighting the grow
the abolition OF option trading in all
sorts Of commodities on exchanges, and
delegations repeatedly have appeared
before congressional committees urg-
ing the advantage to farmers in trad
ing for future delivery. 1t gradually
has dawned upon the conservative
members Of the board that the agitation
is an actual and pressing menace and
that Is the result Of common belief
that such institutions as the board Of
trade afford an uncontrolled opportun-
ity for men to gamble with the ma
TONS bread and butter.
1t was for the purpose of soothing
the public that the directors recently
passed resolutions against corners, or
"forestalling the market" as It was ex-
pressed by them, and now 1t appears
that at the first opportunity some big
operators in grain have disregarded
this opportunity. The directors and
conservative members express the be-
lief that this will have a bad effect up
on the public who naturally will think
that the resolution was a -four flush"
hence they are anxious to expose the
culprits and to prove that they are
faithfully attempting to eliminate
gambling from their institution.
The recent developments have not
been relished by the majority of men,
bers Of the board. The price Of July
wheat, they say, has been showed UP to
a level not at all commensurate with
actual conditions. Shorts have been
obliged to pay unreasonable prices ow-
ing to their inability to get the wheat
on track, placed In regular elevators in
time for delivery. and spot wheat prices
have fallen to big discount under the
future

POSTAL BANKS TO OPEN OCT. I
Experts Recommend Introduction IL

Experts Recommend Introduction In
I'd and 81 Class Offices.
Washington, July S0.-Postal savings
banks Will be established Oct. by the
board Of trustees, provided they accept
the recommendations OF the special de-
partment committee Of experts APP
pointed in an advisory capacity. The
experts have decided that a number Of
second and third class postoffices thru
out the country should be selected for
the introduction of postal savings
banks, and that the banks should be
opened on the date named. Tho board
Of trustees will hold another meeting
early in August. after the return Of
Postmaster General Hitchcock from
abroad. when the recommendations
Of the committee will be endorsed. 1t
will be strongly urged that the banks
be not established at this time In offices
OF the first class. The committee deems
it desirable that so far as possible each
Of the forty seven states be given an
experimental bank. To date over 800
postmasters have requested that they
be permitted to open postal savings
banks, and 644 banks have asked that
they be designated as repositories for
postal funds.

Chicago Board Of Trade Starts Rigid
Investigation.
Chicago. July <3O-OnIcers and d.
rectors Of the Chicago board OF trade
are alarmed over the manner in which
certain big operators have ignored the
boards resolution against the run
ming Of corners in grain" That corner
exists in July wheat Is not denied-in
fact, it has been patent to every broker
on the floor for several weeks Now the
directors. under repeated urging from
the conservative members, who are
striving to allay the public agitation
for the abolition OF Exchanges" Of all
sorts, have about decided to conduct a
thorough investigation into this corner
and to apply the penalty to those who
are found guilty. The penalty is ex-
pu1sion.
While the names Of the principal OPP
orators OF the present corner are more
or less the subject OF conjecture among
members Of tho board, two men are
most prominently mentioned, T. n.
Waterman of Albany. N. z, and James
Petit, preaident Of the Peavey Grain
Company OF Chicago. The name of
George Marcy, president Of the Ar
mour Grain Company, also is mention
ed by some OF the brokers who have
been accounted among the keenest OBJ
