Betters Par Twice
In the morning Barnes shot 70 and
after luncheon came right back with
the same brand of golf play to corral
another r. Par for the course is 73.
His total of IA is quite best of several
other wonderful scores, the next being
that of George Mclean, the young pro-
fessional of Great Neck, who had Jas.
Harry Hampton, of Virginia, and Will
liam Leach, of Merchantville, followed
these two with a total of l46, and Raw,
the English crack, was next in order
with l47 strokes.

Canadian champion, who last year shot

Plays Steady Game
The playing of Barnes was the out
standing feature of the day. Long
jim, who made such a creditable show
Ing abroad and whose forte is steadi-
ness, performed with clock-like reeu-
iaTlty the whole day. He drove long
ball that invariably found its wav
down the middle of the we'll known
alley. He approached with that sure
ness and accuracy which characterize d
his whole play. On the greens Barnes's
work was superb.
IN this manner he was able to build
up tidy score for himself and, though
the brllliancy of the other fellows NAV
be more spectacular and more beauti-
fui to see, the old reliable game of par
gof generally brings home the bacon,
therefore Barnes is a bigger favorite
lhan this morning TO retain his title.
