rain drops.
Having no scheduled match or work
laid out, the quartet decided, when the
weather had finally cleared, to play q
game of golf A hundred or more of
the Pelham Club members were strong
for that and offered 500 for the player
having the low score
That offering was like money from
home for Barnes. Not only was he on
familiar territory, but his long game
simply ate up the water-logged fair
ways. The others are not feeble hit
ters by any means, but Barnes yester-
day not only was hitting them far but
right on the line, His score of 73,
which won the low prize, was a truly
remarkable round of golf yesterday.
He was out in 80, but romped home in
"a strokes. SsTazen and Duncan each
had a score of 76 and Mitchell rs.
The official contest between these
pairs will take place on October TO- as
stated above. Yesterdays private feud
ended all even.
Barness fine round on his home
course yesterday convinces US that the
big fellow will take some beating in
the Metropolitan open, which starts to-
day on the Lido course at Long Beach.
Recently we heard somebody remark
Barnes was through, and we could
scarcely refrain from laughing rigat
out loud. If Jim Barnes is through
as a champion golfer, Ty Cobb is
has-been Of the rankest kind. In our
opinion Long jim will be out there
hitting them in the same old style
when lot of the others are doing
gallery duty.
