A few days ago we observed in a

under the caption Brief Notes of In

some interest to the readers of The
Republican: "Music of an orchestra
playing in London was transmitted by
the wireless telephone so distinctly
that recently the guests of Senator
VIM. Marconi danced to its strains on
board his yacht Electra in the Bay
of Naples" Is it any wonder, then,

DRING on that foreign invasion!
ID With preliminaries' all over,
the real fight in the National
open championship starts to-day on
the Inverness course, and Harry Var
don, Ted Ray and supporting cast
must stage the greatest golf scrap in
history before any American title
goes to 'Merrie England" this year.
The narrow escape Ray had coming
through the qualifying skirmish has
brought about a decided change of
sentiment here. Supporters of the
famous British stars are now some
what wobbly about the chances of
either Nardon or Ray winning our
premier trophy of the links.
More than the rather poor showing
Of both Ray and Vardon was the un-
expected strength flashed by a large
number of homebreds. These came
mostly from the West-Bill Methorn,
Tulsa; Jean Sarazen, Cincinnati;
Eddie Loos, Chicago; Jack Burgess,
Minneapolis, and Eddie Loeffler,
Pittsburgh. With these new re-
crubs reinforcing the first line of
defense, consisting of Walter Hagen,
Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchinson,
It Is diff cult to see just where Var
don and Ray expect to break through.
Vardon has let 1t be known that
he will put up the fight of his
twenty-five years golfing career to
win the American cup. The veteran
Briton expects to retire from active
! competition in few years, and he
would cherish nothing so much as to
season. Ted Ray, the longest hitter
now playing the ancient Scotch pas
time, also will unlimber his long
range walloping and choice shots be-
fore the final putt is run down, late
tomorrow afternoon. The battle will
be seventy-two holes in two days.
This strain, coming on the heels of
many exhibitions played in the last
three weeks, may find the two noted
visitors IN what Is known as a con-
dition of being over golfed. And then
Old Sol is likely to be a valuable ally
to the home defenders. Both Vardon
and Ray say they would never par
ticipate in championships back in
England If they had to WELD their
clubs in the intense heat that Is gen
eral in this part of the country.
During the qualifying test yester-
day Ray began to show effects Of
the neat ana the strain of battling
in the toughest field that ever lined
up on a driving tee. The big Briton
on his first round Tuesday took 80
strokes
The giant encountered rough going

TOLEDO. Ohio. Aug. 12.--Yesterday
was a day OF many unpleasant mo-
ments to some we'll known and ambi-
tious golfers, who had more or less
worry about whether their score was
going to be good enough to qualify
them for the national open champion
ship. Big Ted Ray was one that had
cause for worry, but he came safely
through and everyone was greatly
pleased to see his recovery. Teds
fault on the first day was mainly in
his putting. No player ever putted
better than Ted has on this present
tour and 1t seemed that there just had
to be a slump. 1t is we'll that it came
in the qualifying round instead of the
championship round.
The Enghshman thought that he
would not get in even after 1t was
apparent that he had a safe margin.
The margin was not quite as safe as
we figured. 1 knew a great deal about
his feeling because was IN the same
boat and tied with him. There was
Mike Brady too, with us in. the 155
mitch, Just three strokes inside the
limit Many a good golfer was left
out. but in a big field like this one
there had to be some disappointment.
1t surprised everyone to see Charlie
Hoffner and Emmett French with a
stroke too many. George Mclean and
Freddy Mcleod just squeezed in and
in going over the list noticed that
there were other good ones with high
scores.
This was a time when the leaders
made little impression and got no re-
ward. However, Jack Hutchinson's
brilliant round in which he broke the
Inverness record and led the field is
deserving of great praise. Jack played

England May
Withdraw From
Olympic Games

LONDON. Aug. 12.-Withdrawal o.;
Great Britain from Olympic contests
after the Antwerp meeting is being
seriously considered by the British
Olympic Committee. The question OF
making announcement to this effect Is
said to be under debate. and the gen
eral opinion of leaders in the sporting
world appears to favor the step.
Prominent among these are Lord Des-
borough and Sir Theodore Cook, who
in the past have given much time and
effort to organize British Olympic
teams.
The principal reason for the with
drawal from, future Olympic Games
given In the public statement, II one
is made, probably will be thai English
sporting activities in normal times are
80 numerous as to absorb all the at
tention that amateurs can devote TO
sport. The proposal undoubtedly has
been brought about by the general lack
| of interest in the olympic Games shown
by the British newspapers. The public
appeared Indifferent toward the Ant
werp meeting and the response to
| appeals for funds has been samll. Con-
! sequently the expenses Of the British
team must be borne by a few wealthy
| men.
| The great expansion OF the Olympic
programme since the games were insu-
tuted at Athens In 1896 Is thought to be
| the reason for the decline of interest In
the contests, some OF which are un-
known In Great Britain.

William Martin, Whose Victory
With CamoufIeur at the Spa Is
the Biggest Form Upset in
Years, Will Have to Tell How
He Ibid It."
81 By Vincent TreanOr.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, Aug, IL.
HEER UPl There is still hope
~ for racing's future. The stew
ards here awakened. Last night
they put Owner William Martin un-
der investigation. following the race
won by Camoufleur, and while, as
usual, they would give nothing out,
II Is taken for granted that they are
looking into the inconsistent running
OF the Western owners horses.
Approached for some information
on the subject, one of the stewards
brusquely waved aside questions,
saying nothing had been done. But
the iuIuisitlon will be continued.
Little enlightenment as this was on
a subject OF Importance to the pat
rons OF racing, 1t showed that the
officials have finally become con-
WINGED that the public is in need OF
protection from the "sharpshooters."
Martin has been known for years
past as an owner and trainer who
wins with the horses whenever ne
wants to. Form cuts no figure with
him and he makes few mistakes
The birds in the trees around the race
track know that whenever Martin
starts a horse and the checks" arc
down, IL pays to string with him,
Yesterday Martin sent Camoufeur
to the post in the fifth race. and in
no time II was gossiped around that
he was "well meant" The fact that
the horse had shown nothing previ-
ously this year that would give him
winning chance made no difference
He was backed with rare confidence
at the track, and wires" went
through the telegraph offices to vari-
Gus sections OF the country advising
play on him. To the initiated he
was 'in."
The race proved that again Mar
tin had not erred. Camouheur went
TO the front in the first sixteenth and
stayed there. Recount, the form
horse OF the race, tried to run with
him, but at the end CamouhGlr went
past the judges a good two lengths
ahead OF Recount, with the third
horse, Dodge, twenty yards back. As
a form reversal II was the limit.
II Is nothing new for Martin to BE-
! charged with Inconsistency. This
spring the in and out running Of his
Jack Stuart caused the punishment
! OF the horse from Louisville, and the

followed what seemed a cruel ruling
and there was wild rush by those
