Sir Theodore said that only

Evans will surely be a strong fac

Jones also Is I'LL to be well worth
watching. In his two medal play
attempts last year over long

All In all, Hagen will have a hard
battle ahead. Just how his showing
in the British open will affect his
game remains to be seen. A big part
OF Hagen's success has been due to
his supreme confidence This conf
dence has naturally ben jolted a biti
by his amazing collapse in the big
gest test of his life. His inability TO
get within less than twenty-six
strokes of the leader at Deal must
have given him quite a new turn. IL
may be that he will go out to de-
fend his title with renewed deter
mination. These are advance details
that are not to be decided in ad-
vance. He has always been a good
fighter. and it is hardly likely that
one big overthrow is going to wreck
his nerve. After winning in 1914 he
played badly in 1915 and later on in
1916. yet came back again in 1913.
Rays fine showing in the British
open will add new interest to the
United States title hunt at Inverness.
which promises now to be the best
championship this country ever has
shown.

Erickson Finishes Game.

After pitching seven innings, dur

all of their runs. the big kansan

way to Ole Erickson.

particular pains to see, that another

hit. He raped a clean single

explain the sudden forgiveness.
Morton Has Little Trouble.

they couldn't back it up, In the

tossed out on a shot to Chapman.
