Country club. There were 81 survivors

a card of 145. third in the last. and
came within one stroke of equaling the
performance of Walter c. Hagen, a
professional of Rochester, NJ Y. who
established a new competitive record
for the course with a So.
Ouimet showed himself to be master
of all of his clubs despite the fact that
he was trailed by a gallery of nearly
1000.
Charles C'Chick') Evans of Chicago,
western amateur champion, whose
playing was impaired by a sprained
ankle, still had hopes of victory as a
result of finishing second in the list OF
amateurs yesterday. He was paired
with J. G. Green of Hot Springs, W.

Concrete-Stars in the
List.

Elgin, Ill, Aug. 21.-Twenty- three
drivers, the stars of the automobile
racing world, with their machines in

his entry owing to an accident in prac-
tee yesterday.
Ralph De Palma a FORMER winner of

DAILY PRACTICES
FOR BOISE TEAM
Polo Players Are Getting
Ready to Meet the Port
land Stars.

Parking space for autos is to be pro-
vided at the Boise barracks grounds
for the Portland Boise polo tournament
which opens next week, Wednesday

a choice of location.
Daily morning practices are being
held by the Boise team for the tourna-
ment. The players are as a result get
ting into hard fast form and their
mounts are in better shape than ever
before. In fact it is generally conced-
ed by local polo experts that the horses
to be ridden by members of the Boise
team next week are better than they
have ever before mounted.
1t will cost over 500 to put the polo
field in hard fast form with water and
rolling. Arrangements have been made
to hose the field from a hydrant. This
is done several times day and it is
then rolled. In this way the ground
is packing and is retaining cush-

cellent but not dangerous A crew of
helpers is taking care of this work.
The Boise players have about IS
horses on their respective strings The

he received a violent blow on the chest
from the butt end of a rifle, which broke

Another Prussian stabbed a wounded

a division OF Siberian Cossacks. He
was afterward nominated COM
