THE holiday appearance of big Jim"
- Barnes, champion Of the United
States. at Tredyffrin on Saturday Of
this week, August 13, will be followed
by n lapse in the local reel called
Golf to BE Seon.'
Barnes hooks up with Joe Kirkwood
the Australian wizard" and champion,
against Bob Barnett, pro at Tredy-
ffrin, and Max Marston, the Merton
amateur star.
The going will be over thirty six
holes with an exhibition Of Kirk
woods trick shots to follow. A large
gathering of links fans Is expected at
Paoli that day and extensive prepara-
uons are already well under way.
After that there won't be much ex-
citement along the local golf circuit
until the last of the month when things
will start anew with bang.
The Pennsylvania State open and
amateur will be played at that time
and already unusual interest is being
manifested.
Plans Afloat
Pittsburgh players are anxious to
break up the way these events have
wound up in previous years. For when
the play has been at Pittsburgh, q
Smoky City golfer. usually has won !;
when in Philadelphia, n local has come
through. 1t was played out there last
year and Emil Loefflcr, Oakmont, Won
the open title, after which Dawson
Heron, then national champion, took
the amateur title.
Charlie Hoffner. professional, and
Pat Grant. amateur, shared the hon
ors and titles the last time the play
was in Philadelphia.
But w. G.. Fowncs. Pittsburgh s
golf premier and the captain of the
American amateur team which went
abroad this year. is anxious TO cut in
on what has almost become custom
and will make a bid for n pittsburghcr
to win away from home. He is reported
to be working along the lines he did
for the foreign invasion, mastering the
forces and not letting any of the promi-
ncnt players out there renig on the trip
here without good and sufficient rea :
son." This is the talk at present.
The play will be at Merton and
Philadelphia should therefore have its
best talent arraycd against the invad-
ers. Both cities have many nationally
known players, and If they re all pres

At any rate, the situation is an inter-
