invited to q dinner party given by Mr..
!. and Mrs. Tom Moore. OF Washington,
in honor of the new rolling champion,
Jim Barnes, Friday night. and, needless
TO say. good time was had by all
present. The Pelham Prince bore his
honors modestly and with becoming
graciousness that made him aSmore
popular favorite than ever.
Barnes is being besieged with din
ner offers by the various goiing fans
IN Washington, and, in order to keep
Q few of his many engagements has
decided to remain in the capital until
tomorrow night. The lanky luminary
of the Pelham club will be the guest
wf President Harding, himself an ar
dent fan, at luncheon tomorrow at the
shite House. After the luncheon the
Harty will motor to the Columbia
Country Club, and there on the battle
Scared field where Barnes galloped to
n notable victory the open champion
and the President will match their
skill against the home club professions
al, little Freddie Mcleod, who was
runner-up in the open tournament, and
Epb Small, noted newspaper writer, of
Washington.
Hope to Forget Old Sting
ing to settle an old score which has
hung over their heads since last win
ter when they were beaten by Mcleod
and Small at ST. Augustine, Fla. AS
Barnes and Mcleod stood at attention
waiting for President Harding to make
his presentation of the trophy, Barnes
laughingly remarked. eve ought to
get even with this fellow here (point-
ing to McLeod) after the result of
that match last winter. We were to
hold the play-off some time in
Washington"
That's right" replied the President,
and accordingly Monday was named as
the day on which the match would be
held. 1t is reported that the Presi-
dents game has improved considerably
since he was at st. Augustine and he
and Barnes are counting on squaring
matters tomorrow. indications are
that another record-breaking gallery
will be on hand to tramp over the
course once more.
Barnes will return to New York To-
morrow night, and will compete in the
metropolitan open championship tour
nament. which starts on Tuesday over
the course Of the Siwanoy Country
Club. Long Jim is paired with the
Siwanoy star, Tommy Kerri.an. This
Pair will get away at 9:35.
On Tuesday night the members Of the
Pelham Country Club, as live and ener-
getlc goling crowd as ever existed,
VIII hold dinner party and celebra-
zion IN honor of its noted professional.
1t is reported that this affair will
eclipse all others of its kind ever held
in the metropolitan district Knowing
now the club put over the opening of
It's course with the Duncan Mitchell
and kerrigan- Hutchinson match there is
no doubt everything will be done to
make the party success in every wav.
Makes Wonderful Average
They are still talking about the tour
nament and the various incidents con-
nected with it in Washington. Barnes's
record breaking performance, of course.
IS the center of most of these discus
sions. Which is as it should be. In
our statistics of the rounds hastily
compiled yesterday we forgot to men
tlon that the champion played the five
rounds, including his qualifying test, in
an average of two under as. Sweet ma.

then some more
One of the finest shots made during
the meeting was mashie blow of Peter
O'Hara's on the final round on the fifth

maxon star dubbed his second far tn
the left of the fairway, and barely
avoided going out of bounds. He was
backed up against the bushes and could
scarcely swing his club in playing his
third. But when he did make the shot
1t was wonder-perfectly played from
a most difficult position to within seven
feet of the cup. va
Jock Hutchinson and Tommy Kerri-
gan deserve great credit for the way
IN which they accepted their reverses
After their wonderful showing abroad
naturally it was expected they would
be contenders for the United States
title. We made mention of the fact
snat upon their arrival here both
looked drawn and over-golfed. Yet in
spite OF their reverses each plugged
hard all the way to the end and ac-
cepted defeat without murmur.
On the third round, Jock, weary and
struggling hard, but still wearing his
winning smile, was accosted by an adj
mlrer at the twelfth hole with the
usual query, How're you going,
ooh, so So" replied the flying Scotch
man, "I'd be all right if I could skin
= couple of holes"
Professionals Show Nerve
These professionals, most of
them at least, certainly have the nerve.
AT st. Andrews, Jock, knowing at the
thirteenth hole he had to finish in mar
figures to tie for the title. cut loose
with one of the greatest exhibitions
ever shown there. At Columbia as
Freddie Mcleod walked off the ff
teenth green, he was informed he had
to get par on the remaining three
holes to tie for second place. And the
midget promptly set out after these
scores, three of the hardest of the
Walter Hagen in this tournament
again proved he is one of the gamest
OF them all. The former champion, an

end OF the first day, staged one of his
usual brilliant come-backs and man
aged to finish in tie for runner-un
with two spiiTy rounds.
The wives Of the various n]avers
some Of them, at least, worked harder,
IN roofing for their husbands than the
pres themselves did. Louis Tellier,s

lance, while his brother-in-law. little
Wiifred Reid, caddied for him. The

borrowed hard upon his trail. hole nv
