by a margin of nine strokes Is i'm
pressive enough But at that it lacks
Il little of what the Detroit professional
did to the Sunset Hills crack at Brae
Burn. where the margin was fourteen
strokes. Barnes played marvellous golf
at Shawnee. showing one round said to
be easily the best single performance
uncovered in the East this year. But
Hagen delivered with plenty of class in
the Metropolitan at North Shore. The
two were not opposing each other in
these cases.
Barnes's total of 2S3 strokes for
seventy two holes was a fine perform
ance all right enough. 1t had been
beaten but once before in the Western
open and never in the national Back
in 1905 Arthur Smith shot four rounds
in total of 27S at the Cincinnati Golf
| Club. In 1917 Barnes reelcd off another
2S3 at the Westmoreland Club, Chicago.
But relative scores on different courses
mean little.

orstwhilc and some time much abused
friend. J. Barcycorn. alias the Old

The occasion will be one of silence.
There is expected to be just as much

As to infringement
An infringement means death to the

capital punishment is barred by pre-
arrangement.
