NEW GOLF CHAMPION.
Walter C. Hagen Won Open Title OF
America at Midlothian.

Chicago, Aug. o. Walter c. Hagen, %
years old, native professional of Roch-
ester, N. Y, yesterday displaced Francis
ouimet as open golf champion of Amer
lea by winning the tournament at Mid
lothian with amedal score of 300 for the
72 holes.
Ouimet fell off in his play, taking POS
for his total and it fell TO the lot OF
Charles Evans, jr., western amateur
champion, hampered by wrenchedr right
ankle, to furnish Hagen's chief oppo.
sition. Outplaying the whole field in a
spectacular finish that electrified the long
gallery, Evans made two rounds of II
and 20 and finished with 29l, just one
stroke behind Hagen.
Evans score OF l4l for the day was
the best double round of the tournament.
and was accomplished despite several
missed puts. His ankle seemed to both
er his putting more than his long work
and irons. His tee shots spanned some
800 yards of the fairway nearly every
time.
His irons were nearly all perfect, but
in the last nine holes he missed three
short puts and had no luck with the
long ones. He finally drove the edge of
the eighteenth green, 277 yards, and had
left one putt for a half with Hagen.
The spectators stood on tiptoe while
the Chicagoan tried the 30-foot putt.
He missed by IL inches and the cham
went TO Hagen. Ouimet lost
the title with equanimity. He had no
fault to find, he said, having fallen of |
his game as others had done before.

sower, hay loader, other general farm
ing tools and two wagons.

o'clock, work was begun on another addi-
tion to the barn, and the frame was well
up. In the horse stable when the build.
ing was struck were MIR Brooks, his son,
n. kibbe Brooks, who carries on the
farm. George and Oscar Hakey and Les
ter Root, who had been working on the
frame, and all felt the shock severely.
They Immediately began TO tear down
the addition, saving most of the tmbers.
The lightning struck near the center Of
the barn, and the flames spread so rap
idly that it was impossible to save the
building, but the men directed all their
efforts TO saving the livestock and all
were taken out. The eighteen cows had
just been driven into the barn out Of
the severe rsinstorm which was prevail
ing, and the new stanchions in which
they were fastened were broken by the
lightning bolt There were also four
horses and ii calves. All were so much
affected by the lightning that they near
ly fell to the floor. There was some
lumber near the barn, and this was
hauled away, several harnesses also be-
ing saved.
The loss Is estimated at about $4,000, |
on which there was small insurance

INTERNATIONAL YEAR BOOK,

Apart from Its intrinsic merits the
New International Year Book" (Dodd
Mead and Company. edited by Dr.
Frank VI. Colby. has the advantage of
being the only survivor OF the annual
encyclopedias OF respectable workman
ship made IN America. and therefore the
sole tool left for those who must use
that kind of book OF reference. 1t was
great help to all newspaper men,
among others, when publication was re-
sumed, and the present issue for the
year 1913 IL welcome. In substance the
book IL yearly supplement TO the New
International Encyclopedia" the latest
and most valuable OF American publlca-
lions OF the kind. IL endeavors to
cover for the whole field OF human
knowledge the record Of the years do
!ngs. which numerous publications Of
more limited scope deal with in con-
densed form as regards the subjects
they are interested In. Some are re-
stricted to political and statistical mat
ters: others. such as the various al
MANAGES, to little more than a registra-
ton of names and facts; others to biog-
raphy, while some. more pretentious
are handicapped by the professional
tastes OF the specialists who contribute
to them.
In the New International Year Book
DR. Colby. who has been connected with
the undertaking from the beginning, has
succeeded pretty we'll In holding his con-
tributors to the impersonal. bipartisan
attitude demanded by book OF refer
ence. The events OF the year are all
noticed carefully and due prominence Is
given To those that were notable at the
time, regardless OF their place in the
general encyclopedia scheme, which Is
the proper duty OF year book. The
1913 volume II fully up TO the standard
OF It's predecessors and remains the
chief American authority for the hap
penings OF the year.
