WASHINGTON, July 22.--one can
GUS golf Jn Barnes played in win
ming the national open championship
mere this week until he dives into the
figures and analyses the dope, bit by
bat. There have been many wonder
tul golf rounds turned in since this
nerve rae king game was invented, but
it is doubtful if any player ever gave
better exhibition in the title com
petition than the Pelham prince did
here.
In the first place. as everybody now
knows, he broke the course record on
his first trip out and repeated the feat
IN the first round of the championship
test. His worst round was rs, five
strokes above par. The four rounds
were as follows:

During the course Of the four rounds
the lanky Pelhamite managed to knock
out fifteen brides" and one eagle.
That eagle 2 of his on the second hole.
where he holed out from q hanging lie
IN the rough, was the most spectacular
shot in the tourney and was the only
eagle score made during the entire
meeting.
He managed to beat par at least
once on eleven of the eighteen holes,
as follows: 2, S, 6, 7, 8, 10, II, IL, Is,
16, II. His four cards contain such
phenomenal figures as 2's, 10 SIS, %
As, ID SIS and 5 6's. The seventh and
twelfth holes apparently were his
favorltes. He got brides on these two
holes thrice in his four attempts. The
sixth hole was the one on which he
encountered the most trouble. He got
two SIS and q on the first three
rounds, but on his last trip he finally
managed to get the better of the jinx
by getting birdie 3 on it.
Barnes got other good things be-
sides the title in scoring his notable
victory. He is the first golf champion
IN this Gentry ever to be presented
with the tro9hy by the President of the
United States.
While in St. Augustine President
Harding played golf with the new cham
pion several times and got to know the
star golfer very we'll.
In presenting Long Jim with the cup
this afternoon the President paid the
highest compliment he could pay to any
man.
"You are a credit to nation that is
rapidly taking up golf and l am very
happy to present this gold medal to you
and to note, the return Of the United
States cup to this country. I want to
offer my hand in congratulation to the
splendid sport and sportsmanship you
have displayed in your victory. You
are typical of the best there is in
great sport and fine example to the
game, and l believe you are a clean
manly, hard-fghting, well-behaved gen.
tleMan."
Barnes was heartily chaered, and in
receiving the cup said: II am mighty
happy and proud to have been able to
bring back the cup to good old United
States"
The prize list of 1895 was divided
as follows: First, $500; second, $500;

"Chick" Evans again led the anna
teurs. Also he was again victorious
over Bobby Jones. These two crack
rivals have been struggling nip and
tuck for the last three years now in
the national open tournament Last
year at Toledo Evans beat out Jones
feat this time Sweetser finished third
among the amateurs with score of $40.
The O'Hara brothers had nice little
tussle of their own. Peter won out in
the end with q score of 312 against
Pats SIG. On the first day Pat, play
ing soundly. was far ahead of his
brother, but on the last two rounds
Peter, playing with Barnes, before the
huge gallery that followed after, came
back to his own with two good scores
of 76 and rs. Peter always does well.
