yesterday afternoon, the official closing
time. and there were only sixty-seven
nance on the list Tho holder OF the
titlA Jerome d. Travers. has stuck 10
his determination not TO defend his
crown next week. and the 1914 and 1918
champions. Walter Hagen and Francis

the only former national open champion
on the list Ia Alex Ross. who won In
1907. II IL probable that a number

FOR the title. the leading ones being
