GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS.

Golf viii attract much attention from
sport lovers during the week and give
the people q chance to divert their at
tention from baseball for q time. Per-
sons who are interested in tennis, had
their inning last week. Baseball Is first
in summer rastfmes and golf Ii second.
The National Open golf tournament
will be played this week ON the course
of the Midlothian Country club OF Chi
cago. Contrary to expectations, the
European countries will not be repre-
scented but all the celebrities OF the
United States will be there.
These celebrities, and others, began
the festivities last week by play
ing a two day invitation tournament on
the course Of the Glen Oak Country
club. Players took part in the affair
more for practice than for the real re-
suits which were at stake A number
of the great or near great players were
not at Glen Oak.
Among tho players who will play this
week on the Midlothian course are Chic
