 BE MAN DISGUISED
Maine Landlahy Lures Summer visit-
 ors To Home By Stories of Spirits

Naples. Me. July 31.-The wrath of Ghost Mountain. whose ectoplasmic outlines were photographed recently by H. Allen Lushear of Newark. N. J., was materialized for the benefit of summer boarders. Mrs. Pearlie Cha pin, owner of the haunted house on the top of the mountain, admitted yesterday. There was more than ec- toplasm to the Newark mans ghost picture, Mrs. Chapin said. one of her boarders having played the part of spook for the purpose of the photo- graph.
 Eight persons from the New Jersey city paid a nocturnal visit to the haunted house. which has a legend preserved through passing generations of summer visitors. According to this tale, an unhappy couple once lived there. and when the woman died her ghost returned to haunt the hus- band The nightly visitat!ons finally drove the man insane, but the ghost continued to walk.
 Lushear and his party were not dis appointed. They described the vision they saw as "a cloudy, unsubsta ntial form, in shape not unlike the mass that gathers on the candlestick as | candle melts."
 Lushear, according to the story snapped" the ghost, and then tho party went swiftly away from that place.
 This is not the first time summer visitors have been entertained with spirits, Mrs. Chapin said Each sum mer for several yea. j "manifestA- tions" have been staged, but not al- ways with equal success

FOOTBALL CROWD
Seating Capacity OF Athletic
Field Will Be Enlarged
at MorgantoWn.

MORGANTOWN. July IS.
Work will shortly be started to
enlarge the seating capacity of the
West Virginia University football
field so that it will take care OF
a crowd of $4,000 spectators.
Last year the field Accommodated
"a few less than 10000 and on
Thanksgiving, and although II
poured the rain for twelve hours
before the contest. there were few
vacant seats when the kickoff
took place.
With improved roads from all
directions and football interest
growing everywhere, 1t is believed
that the contemplated increase in
seating capacity is fully justified
The Washington and Jefferson
game on Thanksgiving is expected
to draw the largest crowd that has
ever assembled at any sort of al
athletic event in West Virginia. In
fact this same game played here
last Thanksgiving established a
new record in attendance.
Present plans are to construed
a seventeen-tier section of seats
along the west side of the fell
in front of Mechanical Hall. Here
tofore a nine-tier row of seats has
occupied this position. Nine-tiel
seats will be used across each end
of the field and the big stand seat;
ing something more than six thou
sand people on the east side of the
field will not be disturbed.

Final Race for Champion
ship Title

GLENCOE, Ill, July Is. - The
likely winner of the national open
golf Championship title, now held
by James Barnes OF New York, has
simm cred down to one of a score OF
players at the start of the final
thirty-six holes today as result
of the cards turned in yesterday by
the field of seventy.nine who quail
fled for competition in the event at
Skokie Country Club.
Barnes was tied for tenth place
with rounds Of 74-75-159 as against
par Of 40, and with cards of III
-142. John Black was leader at the
end OF the first two rounds.
Ahead of Barnes also at the half
way mark were William Mehlhorn
of Shreveport. La, 73-71-144; Gene
Sarazen of Pittsburgh, 72-73-145;
Walter Hagen of Detroit 6S-77--
145; Bobbie Jones of Atlanta. who
led tie amateurs, 7472-146; Lloyd
Gullickson of Dekalb. Ill. III
147: Chick Evans OF Chicago. for
merly national amateur champion,
with 72-76-14S: Lauroe Ayton OF
Chicago 72-76-14S; and Mike Brady
of Detroit, 73-75-14S. Tied with
Barnes for tenth position at the be.
ginning of the third lap were Bob
Macdonald. Chicago, 73-76-149:
John Farrell, New York. 73-76-14 40.

Notable exceptions OF this
charmed circle, who might break
through and snatch the trophy We're
Jesse Guilford of Boston, national
amateur champion, Joe Kirkwood OF
Australia, Harry Hampton of De-
troit and Eddie Loo Of Chicago, who
had ISL each for their first two
rounds, and Jock Hut Crimson OF
Chicago. formerly British open
champion, who. after qualifying
with record score OF 67-6S-135,
took 7S-74-152 yesterday.
AS a result of his consistent
work, John Black is the favorite
with many followers for the title.
He learned his golf as a caddie for
Harry Vardon and he initiates his
master by carrying a set OF rusty
clubs. ali of which he uses with
great proficiency.
There still was hope for an anna
teur town, according to experts,
for Bobbie Jones Is shooting well,
while Evans was only eight over
par for thirty-six holes with atleast
a dozen shots wasted.
The weather turned to perfection
yesterday and promised to stay at
par for the final rounds. The fair
ways have dried out from Wednes-
days flood, so that wiping mud off
the balls has been Abandoned The
green's are keen enough for putting
and yet soft enough to hold well
cut shots perfectly.
!: Hagen and Evans are paired to
play together today, while Black
and Barnes will make the final cir
cult together.
