ed sS,16e,s22 more to have 1876 locomo-

overhead.

York Central shops repaired 105 loco
motives from other lines and indus
trial plants, it was brought out at
the hearing. The New York Central
officials declared they had sought OUT
side aid in repairing locomotives last
year because of desire to have the
rolling stock ready for an expected

from him in the fourth round, three up

prowess of Allen Graham of the Royal
club, Liverpool, six UP and five to play.

Cambridge, although playing brilliantly,

AN UPSET
The elimination of Cyril Tolley, the
British amateur champion, came mex
pectedly early in the day at the hands
of j. B. Beddard of Penn, three up and
one to play, Beddard is clerk at
Wolverhampton, and gets his practice
on the Penn common at that place. He

among the British favorites through

are regarded as formidable.
AMERICANS MAY ENTER
Asked this afternoon regarding the
declarations of Chick Evans and Bobby
Jones that they would not play in the
open tournament though entered, Cap
tain Fownes said he believed they
would ultimately play, and that ne was
bending every effort to induce them
to do so. The American champion had
only words of praise for the courtesies
received at the hands OF the British
and the manner in which the tourna-
ment had been conducted. The mem
bers of the American team, he added
would separate after the conclusion
of the tournament.
