HERRESH0FF IN DEFEAT
Quest for Golf Title OF Great
Britain a Quick Failure.
BEATEN IN FIRST MATCH
w. G. Vanderpool, Only Other
Player from This Country,
Also Put Out.

| London, June A combination OF bad
| play and Ill luck completely upset Fred
| Herreshoffs chances of winning the ANA
| teur golf championship of Great Britain
| at Westward Ho to-day. The American
| was put out of the contest In his first
match, .. A. NJ Brown, the Isle of Wight
player. defeating him by 2 mp and | 10
| play.
Herreshoff. who hoped TO win the title,
appeared nervous and was completely OF
his game. He got in the ditch al the first
hole, and at the turn was down. At the
eleventh hole where Brown was up,
IIerreshoff sliced and got into the PUSHES
twice. but at the twelfth hole was only
down At the thirteenth. however the
American was bunkered. and again stood
down He won the fourteenth hole. but
was able only to halve the next three.
W c. Vanderpool the only other Anlert-
can competing, met similar fate at the
hands of H. l.. Nicholl, of the Royal
North Devon Club, being beaten by up
and TO play. So the American invasion
was short lived.
When Fred Herreshoff, who was runner.
up to Harold II. Hilton in the national
championship tournament at Apawanis
last September, sailed for the other side
early in April to compete in the British
amateur tournament, he was considered to
have better than an outside chance OF ac-
complishing something worth while. In
fact, few of his friends had visions OF
the far-drivlng HerreshoH duplicating the
performance Of Walter ]. Travis, who won
the English title at Sandwich in 1904.
Herreshoff has never been a consistent
golfer, and while he has at different times
shown brilliantly, he has at others failed
even TO make the first sixteen in an ordi.
nary tournament. When he Is at HE best
he is a difficult man to beat. as Hilton can
testify. Evidently yesterday was not one
Of Freds good days.

TURN WASTE INTO WEALTH.
Why Not Make the Mississippi Floods
Pay for the Damage Done?

The floods which have swept down the
thousand and more miles of Mississippi
Valley this year have been unusual be-
canse of the more than ordinary loss of
life and property. Each year, with pa
tient regularity. about so many thousand
settlers along the great water-coufse
leave their homes and betake themselves
and families and live stock to points of
land above normal high water. When
the flood has passed they return to
water-soaked homes, in good condition
to contract the various types of sickness
which always follow in the wake OF an
overflow. Even such deluge as the
long to be-remembered onesof 1872 fails
to disodge any considerable number.
Man has much of the habit of the wild
animal in this respect. as shown IN nam
lets and towns rebuilt where the ava
lanche flood, eruption, tidal wave and
other commissions of nature have blotted
out existence. And in all these instances
there is little or nothing the immediate
sufferer can do to prevent a recurrence.
of the disasters mentioned, the flood
alone is capable of prevention, and the
remedy lies not where the flood is found,
but back at its many sources. The I'M
dertaking in the case of the MISSISSIPPI
is so vast that prevention is not likely
ID be attained for many years, though
eventually 1t doubtlessly will, through an
economic condition If a sufficient num-
Der of comfortable tributaries should be
damned to hold back one-half or even
one-third the water released each spring,
il would not be difficult to handle the
,,oi,,,,a aauino via the Misssissippi with
comparative safety The cost of this
control would run into vast sums, and
therefore can be accomplished but slow
". If, however the entrained waters
were released through turbines and thus
made to produce power, and the same
water used over and over again. d suffi-
GENTLY large revenue might result to
meet. or nearly So the interest on the
cost of such construction. And if this
direct revenue could be supplemented by
a part of the saving from what would
otherwise be a large loss. the sum total
should make the undertaking at least
self-supporting Obviously the plan
could only be effectively worked through
Federal control with the cooperation of
the several states involved but with the
Panama Canal as an example, the pro-
iect Is far from impossible or impracti-
cable. Perhaps the idea also contains a
suggestion as to what to do with our
convicts In work of this nature they
could be massed and kept employed for
months or years in one place, under con-
ditions which would be alike favorable to
the state and to the prisoners.-Popular
Mechanics.
