handed feur-run lead. he was unable to

the part of the great pitcher, and he is
expected to show a reversal OF form
when he goes on the mound today.
This probably also will be true Of Har-
per. who is to work tomorrow. He did
not get any offensive support the other

win his game.
Jameson is clever fielder and
thrower and he has plenty of backbone.
too: He is a dangerous hitter and
pertenced enough in the major leagues
to be consistent hitter This will
come to him in time. and there is no
chance Of, Griffith letting him out.
Jameson. in the opinion of his man
ager. is bound to be an outfelder of
the highest grade within a year, for
he has wealth of natural ability and
has the right spirit and disposition.
John Henry is catching the best ball
of his career. This fact, in addition to
his improved hitting. makes him one Of
the most valuable catchers in either
| major league. Henry not only has
strong arm and is a good receiver. but
he Is perfect handler Of pitchers,
! who prosper. as a rule, under his guild
ance.
This New York club has been going
far ahead of its normal stride in the
games it has played in the present Sc
ries. 1t has been able to get hits when
1t needed them and the good fortune
to have little pop flies drop into the
bleachers in every game with men on
has, of course. given 1t an advantage
over the Nationals which has cut much
of a figure.
That Donovan will work Fisher and
Cullop in the remaining two game Is
a certainty. Both these pitchers are go
ing to give Johnson and Harper a hard
tussle to beat them for they are going
at their best. Cullop has won seven
straight and is yet to suffer his first
defeat. Two great pitching battles are
expected in the remaining games.

work for the Newark International

New Yorkers Have a Chance.


1t is necessary to jump from Chicago
to New York to find names of other
players who have a chance for the title.
Since the event is usually won by the
man who attainS a steady streak COM
bined with at least one brilliant round.
which feat is quite possible for seven or
eight of the players, IL is impossible to
select any one or two who stand the
best chance OF winning. Those who be-
lieve in the steady type of player would
pin their hopes on Tom Mcnamara.
Walter Hagen. Louis Teller, George
Low. Alex Smith, r: G. Mcdonald. ].
Hutchinson and a few others. while
those who like the brilliant winner
would forward the names of Gilbert
Nicholas Mike Brady. Mcdonald Smith,
Jim Barnes Pat Doyle. Tom Kerrigan.
Messrs. Evans and Ouimet. while other
such players as Hoffner. Ross. Mcleod,
Hepburn and Bowling have a way of
coming to the front when least ex-
pected.
If one were forced. however, to men,
ton the ten men who probably will fin
ish in the money he would not go far
wrong in selecting Brady. Mcnamara,
Mcdonald. Sargent. Smith. kerrgan,
Hagen. Teller. Barnes and Hutchinson.
In this list will be, found simply the
most consistent money players of the
last few years. taking all the tourna-
ments into consideration. In this list
will be found one Frenchman. two Eng
lishmen. three Scotchmen and four
homebreds.
1t is a significant fact. of course that
not since 1910 has a foreign born pro-
fesSional been able to break through
the homebred protection and win the IT,
tie. This year there will be a struggle
more intense than ever before. for al
though the rivalry is good natured at
all times there is still keen desire on
the part of the foreign born profess
sionals to regain the honors of golf1ng
wars. which, in the olden days when
golf first flourished here. were all with
them.
There are no indications which point
to a diminution of golfing strength on
the part of the homebred players. Such
golfers George Mclean. Jack Dowl-
ing and Hoffner. to mention just few,
have in them brilliant rounds of golf
which will come out at the time of
open championship play.
On account of the war abroad few
youthful golfers of promise have come
from England. Scotland or Ireland;
still, the foreign-born professionals in
this country outnumber a bit, but not
very much, the homebreds.
Given good weather 1 would make q
guess that the winning score will be
around 2s2 or 293 and that all the
prize money winners will be under an
average Of four 75s. or a total of 500.

fessionaI Golfers Association. It Is to
be hoped also that the Minikahda GOLF
Club will be considerate in charges for
food for the professionals. Many com.
plants have been made. not openly, but
numerous all the same, that excessive
prices have been charged in the west
for food. At one Of the big champion
ships last year ] am told that the
charge was $3.50 for luncheon. and even
though the pro preferred bowl OF
crackers and milk. the charge was JUST
the same.
There never yet has been any open

criticism of the way in which II mas
been run, particularly concerning the
food problem. with the exception of the

Sand Greens a Handicap.
When we come to the chances Of the
different players there are compare
lively few new names to offer. On the
California coast there are some good
golfers, it is true. but they have not
there the opportunity of playing upon
the championship or near championship
links which are found in the middle
west and east, and their game natural
ly suffers Two or three years putting
over sand greens or playing over
courses where there is very little grass
would put any one. professional or
amateur. under too severe handicap
to compete on even terms with others
who are more fortunate in this re-
spect.
When we come to the south we find
a similar condition. Going north to
the middle west. four names stand out
in prominence-George Simpson, James
Donaldson, P. j. Gaudin and George
Sargent. Simpson once tied for the
open title. Donaldson always plays
well on western links: but the only
western man. to my mind. who has
chance for the open championship title
OF America is George Sargent. late OF
Chevy Chase, but now of Minneapolis
His course at Interlaken is only few
minutes ride from Minikahda and IL
is likely that he will get in as much
practice as he deems necessary. Sar-
gent always has done well. but ever
since his victory at Englewood in 1909
he says he has been handicapped at
the open championships through loss
of weight. The climate at Washington
has not agreed with him, but ! hear
that he is getting on in splendid FASH
ion and is playing great game at
present
Gaudin must not he forgotten and
perhaps he should finish in the money
in his first American entry, but too
much should not be expected of him
in his first attempt.

DETROIT, August 3.-The Tigers
lost their fourth straight to the Boston
Red Sox in the American League game

Won HAMM-YOUNG NOW
LEASE KERR BLOCK

Because DIR. George Herbert does not
desire to relinquish ownership Of the
property on which his Office is located,
in Alakea street, IL is understood the
plans of the Won Hamm- Young Company
have been altered materially with re,
spect to the Improvements it hoped 10
make on the Waikiki side Of that thor
Oughfare.
The Won Hamm- Y Dung Company owns
the garage at the Waikiki makai cor,
ner of Hotel and Alakea streets, and
it is known that originally the firm
planned to acquire all the land from
that location to the l.. B. Kerr building,
in which the Star Bulletin formerly was
located, and to take over at least part
Of the Kerr block by purchase or lease.
On this large site, it was said, the com
pany wanted TO erect q building suf.
icient TO accommodate part or all of its
automobile salesrOoms, repair shops
and garage.
The Won Hamm-Y Young Company now
is understood to have leased the entire
first floor of the Kerr block and the
land intervening between its holdings
at the corner of Hotel and Alakea
streets and Doctor Herbert g office. In
addition the firm has acquired n long
lease on a strip Of land, at least seventy
feet in width extending from Alakca
to Miller streets This takes in the

DEVICE TO DETERMINE
STRENGTH Of ED|F|CE

A device intended to be used in test
ing floors, walls and columns of build
ings in order to determine their safety
and carrying strength has just been de-
signed by Assistant Superintendent of
Buildings d. E. Hooker, of Seattle. 1t
is known as an "extensOmeter, and
is of such sensitiveness that it meas
ures the movements of buildings to the
n-thousandth part of an inch.
In explaining the use and purpose of
the instrument Mr.. Hooker points out
that when a floor or column in a build.
ing is loaded a slight movement takes
place requiring a most delicate instru-
ment to detect the change. When a
floor slab is loaded the under surface
stretches and becomes longer while the
upper surface congresses and becomes
shorter.
By measuring the amount of the
change and taking into consideration
the kind and quality of the material
and the amount of the load, it is posi-
BILE to figure out the safe. carrying capa-
city of the building. In reinforced
concrete structures particularly this is
important because in them weaknesses
