BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Golf through 1920 brought about
series of dramatic episodes built
up on the amazing growth of the
game from January through De-
cember. 1t would be hard to say
how many thousands of recruits
enlisted in the Clan of the Cleek
through the last year or how many
new courses were either built or
started.
You probably wouldn't believe it
IL we gave you the exact figures
we haven't got to give.
Certainly no one year has ever seen
greater, more consistent growth
to a game that is swiftly extending
its lure to every section of the
country and every variety of hu-
man life-from retired bankers on
through to Jack Dempsey and Babe
Ruth.

Feature Events.


Any review of the waning sea-
son must start with the first long
journey taken by our open cham
pionship cup in twenty years.
Twenty years ago Henry Vardon
captured and took home to Eng
land our main golf title, with j.
H. Taylor iR second place.
Twenty years later Ted Ray, the
Oxhey walloper, bags the trophy
again. with Vardon in second place.
only a stroke behind.
The years results, therefore,
show conclusively that British pro-
fessional golf still has your Uncle
Samuel a trifie shaded. Early in
the summer the United States sent
Walter Hagen, then open champion.
with Jim Barnes, to the British
open at Deal in the hope of a sue
cessful invasion. These two had
been outstanding figures in Amer
ican golf for some time. They were
selected as the best we had to offer.
Barnes, playing soundly, finished
fifth, but Haben, OF to a fiutter-
ing ricketJ start, soon lost his old
balance and finished far in the rut.
1t was on the occasion that George
duncan, tne Ddllilant, nervous, tenn
peramental Scotchman, at last came
into his own after two poor rounds.
Duncan won through a remarkable
finish, his last two rounds stamped
ing the parade!
Abe Mitchell, who led the field by
six strokes after the first 36-hole
test, started his third round by muf-
fing a ten-inch putt on the first
green and requiring twenty-eight
strokes for the first five holes, This
ended the slashing Abe.
The Clean-Up.
With her own championships well
defended, Great Britain then sent
Vardon and Ray over to take a run
ming jump at Uncle Sans main golf
ing plum. The open championship
at Inverness. Toledo. was one of the
greatest ever held. Jack Hutcf1f-
son had the most brilliant individual
round, but Ted Ray finally won
through a surer manipulation of his
putting blade. As they came down
the stretch Ray, yardon, Hutchison,
Deigel and Burke were all punched,
but Ray was trifie steadier. at the
finish and slipped through with a

missed his drive and hooked his
second into young forest Of an

over the green in two.
Apparently beaten. with hardly
the whisper of a chance to survive
Evans then. made a fine approach
and followed this by sinking a curl
ing l2-foot putt for a four, suuar-
ing the match, which proceeded
through one sensational turn after
another to the forty-first hole,
where Evans finally won. No single
golf match on the record books has
ever offered greater number of
thrills.
In his final round against Ouimet
Evans was unbeatable. Straight
from the tee his mashie play was
something more than deadly. and
as he was putting well Ouimet was
soon struggling far in the rear.
Evans needed but II strokes for the
last nineteen holes of the match,
a pace that no man could have
stopped, and ouimet was beaten
seven and six.
So the Chicago star came back
to his own after losing to Ouimet
in 1919 at Oakmont. He had won
his second amateur title in the last
three championships. and as he won
the Western amateur and led all
amateurs in the open, his place at
the top crest OF amateur golf was
firmly fixed. Beyond any question
the Chicago star proved to be the
best amateur golfer in the world
through the year now fading back
Of the dim hills of time.
The Big Tour.
The countrywide tour of Vardon
and Ray featured the summer and
fall season.
While the two English stars won
a majority of the matches. they were
beaten on numerous occasions by
combinations that included Bagen
and Barnes, Evans and Jones
or Hutchinson and Barnes.
The main feature of the varSon-
Ray tour was Vardon's ability at
the age of fifty-one to play a long
series of 36-hole matches day after
day, while spending the bulk of his
sleeping time on Pullmans. Con-
tinuous train travel and good golf
are not supposed to go together,
but in this case tradition was over
thrown.
While the golf competitions of
1920 brought the game back to its
keenest public interest. 1921 gives
promise of taking a step forward
ana setting new record, unless
the clash between the Western Golf
Association and the U. S. G. A as
sumes serious proportions. II there
is an open breach the game in a
competitive way will suffer Sc
verely.

ANNUAL XMAS PARTY

The Y. NJ. c. A. of Earlham college
gave their annual Christmas party for
the North End Mission, Saturday aft
ernoon. The party was held in the
gymnasium and was attended by about
100 children each of which received a
present.
For nearly 20 years it has been the
custom for, the members of the Y. w.
c. A. at the college to entertain the
children from the Mission at Christ
mas in addition to the work done by
the girls at the Mission during the
year.
This Mission work is one of the
main activities of the Social Service
committee of the Y. w. Most of the
work in the city carried on by the
committee is done at the North End
Mission for the children there. For
years it has been the way in which the
girls at the college expressed them
selves among the city's poor. The
committee this year is under the lead
ership of Eleanor BLY, who has had
considerable experience in the Mission
work having been active in the work
there last summer.

dozen of eggs contain approximately
one pint of water. That being the

that the Indiana association had made
great strides during the last year, and
attributed the growth of the organiza-
ton ito the efforts of a few men who

in bee culture should impress their
senators and representatives with the
need of appropriations for the fur
thering of the bee industry in Indiana.
The Financial Viewpoint.
In every consideration of the grain
markets, the financial situation is to
be taken into account. Conservative
traders are now of the opinion that all
depressing factors, mainly the poor
financial and economic conditions,
have for the time being been largely
discounted, so far as these relate to
the price of grain. The feeling is
down too rapidly. That the farmer
has a just grievance and good reason
for complaining.
The market now has a two-sided ap-
pearance. The selling pressure has
been greatly lessened AS an Indiana
man declared at Chicago: THE farm
ers have declared a moratorium, such
as the bankers declared in 1907. They

Fourteen carloads of live stock were

last week, and the net paid to ship.
pers was s20,439.79. This is a tidy
sum, surely. but at that it does not
compare with the amount of money
paid out in the same week of 1919.
More than $4,000 more was paid out
last year, in spite of the fact that con.
siderable more live stock came in this
year than last.
This is given by way of illustration
of the decline in prices, compared with
one year ago. 1t exemplifies the losses
incurred by farmers despite the fact
that feed and hay has cost. until re-

True. feeding costs are somewhat low,

of.
Hogs Bought at So.
Jerome Shurley said on Monday that
they had taken in a raft of hogs last
week, large per cent of them on Sat
friday, which had cost them but S.
Earlier in the week they had paid
from 50 to $3.50 for the same class
of stock. Calves sold at from Sc to
SO and some fair steers at 81.
The receipts during the week were
922 hogs, Al calves and IS cattle
There were no sheep disposed of bu,
rather nice bunch of lambs were
marketed, averaging around 80 pounds
at cents. The hogs sold for $1S,983
IA. the calves brought 1907, and the
cattle $1.073.20.
Col. Tom Commit, auctioneer and
farmer, marketed 70 hogs on Saturday
and received a check for s1.672. He
was the largest customer at the yards
last week.
Joe Brewer, of Boston township
marketed 43 hogs and was paid 1914
Bert Hunt of Fountain City received
1928 for 56 head Bert Skinner, OF
Lynn, sold just an even one hundred
hogs and collected s1,529. John Ward
of Lynn, marketed 40 head, weighing
1910 pounds, for which he was paid

Price Range at Chicago.

will pay up when they sell their grain,
when prices are more satisfactory"
Are Holding Grain.
Considerable grain is filtering into
the central markets. but all primary
receipts are below the average. A fair
amount of wheat is being marketed in
Kansas at around $1.40 to $3.50 at
country points. This is not in accord
ance with the advice of farm leaders,
but it is a fact nevertheless.
Nor must we forget that corn at Chi
cago is down to the 1913 level, and
oats nearly so. We may not have
heavy buying at rapidly advancing
prices, but prices should go higher II
the farmer feeds the market and does
not get scared and dump his grain.
This is no time to get panicky. A
whole lot of people the world over are
short OF bread. The time will come
when their own harvests are exhaust
ed. Possibly the exchange situation
will be much better by then. At all
events people will not go hungry II
they can ship in supplies. In the mean
white the 1921 crops are still to be
grown. The acreage has been reduced
on winter wheat, and if low prices pre-
vail at planting time We may look for
the same action as to corn.
