Bartlett looks Ikea winner as tire re-
suit of his play today for while his ad.
vantage is not very great thus far in

Morning Scores Poor
After the excellent golf shown In the
preliminary practice of Saturday and
Sunday, the scores turned In by the
players today We're disappointing for
the most part. With score of golfers
beating bogey yesterday it looked like
the course record was in danger during
today's play, but the good players fell
down. Ralph Rider of Des Moines.
and Kenneth Lindsey of Cedar Rapids.
the former 9 state champion at one
time, and The latter one Of the states
topnotchers, disappointed their follow
ers this morning by going one over
DOGGY In eighteen holes, both taking
eighty-fve strokes. Rider went two
over bogey on his first round which
was the worst he has done on the
course thus far.
Purdue Sheldon Of Keokuk, led the
field at dinner time with a score OF
eighty for the two rounds but reports
from back on the course were that
Art Bartlett, the Ottumwa clubs
champion, was coming in at less than
eighty clip. J. Matless OF Keokuk, was
right on the heels OF his club mate
Sheldon, with total for eighteen holes
Of eighty-three strokes.
Course Very Fast.
The course Is as fast as lightning
and low hit balls travel a great dis
tance. 1t is possible to top a shot and
still get hundred and fifty to two
hundred yards in the fair greens. The
putting green's are In very excellent
shape thanks to the close attention
they are receiving and the quantities

If Zapata contemplates an imme-

appear that he has broken the bar
gain which he made with Gen. Villa
to hold back until the latter had
taken SaItiIIo. If Zapata should at
tack Mexico City it is understood he
will not oppose the rebels from the
north, but will prepare the way for

The capture by the constitutional
lists of Tampico means that both Villa

it is believed, will hasten their attack
