Is, with the exception of the English
men. Hagen and Barnes--~is that thew
are inclined to be cratic They will
shoot couple of wonderful rounds,
but then viii come a couple OF poor
scores practically killing their chances.
Of course, Barnes and Hagen have
spells in which shots go wrong. But
their advantage is that they can gen
orally recover sufficiently and in time
to prevent disaster. A bad round for
thc others remains n bad round and'
counts nightly in their total scoring
For instance. Barnes cot off to
very poor start last week in the West
ern meet, yet managed to recover, and
almost beat out the winner, Hutchin-
son. Hagen came from behind to win
the Metropolitan.

they can ever maintain an even pace

lnglY poor round. are apt to win out
The late entrance of "Chick" Evans
gives the amateurs a fighting chance.
Young Bobby Jones, the Atlanta phe-
nom, could hardly be expected to win
out alone against such a field as will
tee off Tuesday. But with the Chicago
star competing also, the tournament
has taken on a little different aspect
regarding an amateur becoming the
new champion. For if Jones is off his
game. Evans may be on and vice versa
Or 1t may happen that both will be on,
and II this proves to be the case the
pros Will have to step their fastest.

The Twenty-ffth Championship
This will mark the twentv-ff+h
open cham ionship at medal play from
the first victory of Horace Rawlins
at Newport in 1895, to the last victory
OF waiter Hagen at Brae Burn in 1919.
The first sixteen championships
either went to British invaders or to
the foreign born-n the main to such
Scotch bred delegates as Willie Ander-
son, Alex Smith and Lawrence Auch-
terlonle. Willie Anderson alone won
tour opens before his day passed, a
mark that no other golfer has vet
reached on this side of the water.
But the day and reign Of the foreign
born ended with Alex Smiths last VIC
tory, IN 1910 at Philadelphia.
Since that triumph only homebred
professionals and a mateurs have
reached and held the heights with two
victories each for McDermott and
Hagen and one each for Ouimet. Tra raw
crs and Evans, the only amateurs who
nave won both amateur and open titles.
But at Inverness homemade golfers
the made in America" brand-face
the toughest barricade on record.
On the ore side we have Hagen.
Brady, Evans, Jones, Dicgel, Kcrrigan
Mclean, etc. On the other we have
Ray, Vardon, Barnes, Hutchinson. Ross.
Edgar, McFarlane, Sargent and Nc
Donald.
No profit of worldwide fame is need
ed here to suggest that home-cooked
talent is in for a battle to the last
putt. Ray, Vardon and Barnes alone
ara a mighty trio to overthrow with
out going further.
1t may be that another young home
bred is due to break through as Nc
Dermott and Hagen did.
One IS certainly due. as this pair
arc the only two homebred profession
ais that ever landed the biz. nlun
Mcnamara, Brady and others have
threatened but have never quite made
1t. Yet ont Of the field Of homebreds
playing there seems TO be no reason
why another star shouldn't pop out Of
the fold.
Two hundred and ninety-seven was
fast enough to win the Ohio State
championship last year even with
Barnes and Hagen playing, but 297
will hardly win this coming week with
so many keen-eyed marlismen looking
after the assignment Two hundred
and ninety-five or possibly 294 won't
be very far away. 1t isn't likely that
any one is going to work down around
29c over Inverness with it's length and
its span Of traps. Neither Barnes nor
Hagen could beat 800 there last tall
when Alex Ross led the parade with
his 297.
Hagen proved in the recent Nero
politan open, when nc caught jim
Barnes, who had d tivc-strolle lead on
the last day, that his failure in the
British open hasn't shaken his nerve.
His victory over Barnes in the 1S-holo
play off should bring back his con-
fidence to the old limit and make him
more formidable factor than he
seemed to be just after his return.

IMPROVED. TONE
DEVELOPS In COTTON

New York. Dec. 10.--A disposition TO
cover short contracts in advance OF the
official estimate OF the crop on Monday
was considered largely responsible for
the improved tone of the cotton market
here during today's early trading. The
opening was steady at a decline OF 2
points on December, but to rs points
higher on latef months, with January
soon selling up to 15.95c and March to
is. loo, or about 20 points net higher.
Liverpool trade advices said the adj
vance there was due to covering and
better tone in Manchester. There was
some southern selling here, but early
offerings were readily absorbed by the
covering of Wall street and local shorts
and the advance was accompanied by
reiterated reports of a steadier feeling
In eastern belt spot markets.
There was less demand later in the
morning, suggesting that the scattering
short interests have been pretty well
eased off on southern selling. BY mid
day January had sold down to Is soc
and March to Is Coo, or about rs to 20
points net lower. There were rumors
on the early advance that the question
OF re. establishing the war finance corpo-
ration was to be taken up in the senate
with prospects for early action, but the
bulk OF the business was supposed to
represent the closing out of old ac-
counts.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
New Orleans, Dec. 10.-A higher mar
ket prevailed In the early trading In
cotton today. for which better cables
than due were responsible. In the first
half hour of business the active months

Expectations OF unfavorable weekly
statistics and cablegrams from England
stating that more looms were stopping
because OF the impossibility OF putting
through fresh business with the far east.
