GLENCOE. ILL.,. July 16.--well, 1t
looked after the first round Of the
United States open golf champion
ship as If Walter Hagen was going
to make q runaway Of 1t, but he
slipped a bit in the afternoon and
we should see a thrilling finish.
The topliners are pretty well bunch
ed for the final dash for the title.
I am pretty far back with my
rounds Of 77.74-151, but will keep
on plugging along. In the morn
ing game had the unpleasant ex-
perience Of doing eighteen tourna-
ment holes without obaining a single
8. whereas John Black, my part
ner. had seven of these helping
figures.
Hagen was great guns. in the
morning. There was no stopping
him. His 6S under the pressure of
the championship was remarkable
golf and yet he did not appear to
be exerting himself. ! finished my
morning round in time to watch
Walter play a few holes and he
was going well.
They tell me that he played, his
thirteenth consecutive hole with
nothing worse than a 4. He had
eight As and five SIS. That's golf
Some Of the good ones, especially
Jock Hutchison. found It had 60
- t. AA
surprised us all by taking rs, but
Jock Is one Of the players with
better than 70 rounds in his equip
ment. and he is not so far away
but that he may give his Chicago
friends a few thrills in the final
rounds.
The galleries were enormous and
made playing very difficult. Hagan
and Bobby Jones were nearly mobbed
by the crowd which trailed them in
the afternoon. They had to wait re-
peatedly before II was safe for them
to drive or play second shots.
I believe these waits did not do
Hagen's game any good. Jones
played great stuff in the afternoon
and kept himself well up among the
leaders. / talked with Hagan and
he did not appear disturbed because
his afternoon figure ran up to II.
He said II was too bad to toss away
the big advantage he gained in the
morning, but that he would make
as good fight today as he could
in his effort to gain the double
crown.
George Duncan and Abe Mitchell
are pretty far back and will need
fireworks to pull up in front by to-
night. But Duncan has set off some
explosives before now in champion
ship play and may do 1t again.
1t was a wonderful day of sport
and i congratulate America for IL.
There was a set of great golfers and
fine sportsmen out on a grand golf
course, under blue sky, playing
before an immense audience for your
championship 1t marked a great
day In the history of American golf,
and today It is to be hoped the finish
will provide everyone with the thrills

Tut. through Billy Mccartney, his
manager, has already signed a con:
tract to meet Wills at Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn. August 7. Wills reply?
He Is alleged to have Immediately
signed up to push some near.beer
opponent on the chest at Dyckman
oval, New York, in the same week.
Having done which, Paddy Mullins
left for parts unknown on busi-
ness.
Mccartney now wishes to intimate
that Wills either Is avoiding HE
man. or he, McCarney. doesn't know
the difference between cold slaw and
rat poison. II might be remarked
that the spectacle of McCarney
launching upon a dish Of prepared
lie to date. .
OF course, Wills may not be

may even be seeking him night
and day as ne walks the streets,
staring inquiringly and hopefully
passes. IL is strange how one
fails 10 run across people In New
York, even bill collectors and land'N
lords.
Perhaps, however, we might let
one of Wills friends explain the diff
ficulty. The latter walked into Jack
Kearns' office some days ago while
the boys were waiting for Mullins to
grasp a fountain pen firmly between
thumb and forefinger and sign those
papers for the Dempsey match.
The visitor introduced himself as
the employer of Harry Wills, and
forthwith proclaimed that he was
there to see that justice was done.
Wills, he declared, deserved the
match not only because OF his
record in the ring, but also because
OF his exemplary conduct when out
of II. Wills, he declared, would make
a great champion.
"Champion!" queried an ag-
grieved voice In the rear.
Sure; he'll make q monkey out

II was then suggested that Wills
could battle the poorhouse temper.

bout that would pack them In.
He would be fool to meet Jack

reply, spoken In tone OF flat

Change In One Hole
For Amateur Golf
Tournament

One important change Is Ito
be made in the course at the
Country Club, Brookline, for
the amateur championship in
September. The tee at the
fourth hole is so low that the
drive has to be up and over an
abrupt rise, with nothing TO
shoot at but the horizon. The
new tee is being constructed on
a ledge somewhat behind the
present tee.
When it Is in use the play
er will be able to get q good
view of the fairway and the
green. To offset the elimina-
tion of the "blind" hole a new
trap wiH be added at the right
of the green.

To those persons who from time

sport that burns UP physical energy
so fast that scullers never live to
anything near a ripe old age. Jim
Ten Eyck, coach of the Syracuse
University navy and Fred Plaisted,
formerly the assistant Of Jim Rice,
at Columbia, expect to furnish an
argument to the contrary. Both of
these veterans have been in the
game for a half century and they
are still active and husky citizens.
The golden jubilee of the National
Association Of Amateur Oarsmen
will be held on the Schuylkill, Sat-
urtay, August 5, and Henry Penn
Burke, leading spirit In the matter
Of arrangements, has figured that
nothing could be more fitting than
a race between the two old timers
who were good scullers when the
association held it's first meet.
. The veterans are still able to do
more than "set up" a frail craft,
despite the fact that both are either
or close to their seventies.

That is the difficult problem
that has been set by the owners

a long time to interest enough New.
arkers In the proposition with him to
buy the club. IL anything like a de.
cent price can be agreed upon. but
he Is no prospective purchaser at the
figures already announced.
The present Newark owners, in or
der to avoid the necessity of building
a baseball park. submitted to a lease
on Harrison Field involving very
high terms, which makes the sale of
the club additionally hard because of
the carrying charges.
Newarkers seem to think that
the club Is worth less now than
when it was bought by those now
I'm control OF It. The team has been
playing unsatisfactory ball and the
attendance has fallen away very
much.
Altogether, the Newark franchise
and players and other assets of the
present are counted worth much less
now than when the Baltimore men
bought them because when they
came in the city was hungry for
league baseball, whereas now New.
arkers are sick and tired with the
brand of ball furnished.
There is little doubt but that some
Bethlehem Steel officials. who are in
terested in soccer football. would be
willing to buy the club at the right
price, the idea being to put on high.
class baseball team in the summer
and a big soccer team for the cold
months.
Harrison Field is in the heart of
one of the great soccer sections Of
the country. AS an all-around-the-
year proposition there is more of
chance for success than by depending
upon baseball alone.
The feelers these men have sent
out have led them TO believe that
the price asked and what they want
to pay are at variance in a way
that may entirely prevent the deal.
As q distinct contrast to affairs
In Newark. fans may be referred
to Reading, where Chief Bender
Is at the helm. Reading men own
the club and are making all kinds
of efforts to get a good club.
Plenty Of money Is being spent,
buying and transporting ball
players
But that club can afford IL
simply because the efforts to better
the team have pleased the fans
and Reading, as a result, is one
of the best cities in the circuit.

When Jesse won last years anna
teur title he was on with a game
that was unbeatable by anybody
in the world. I should like to
see Guilford win out. He knocked
tunity before the goddess Of chance
saw fit to admit him.
Walter Hagen's score may have
been perfectly satisfactory to him
but 1t was disappointing to the
great gallery that followed his
match with Bobby Jones. Bobby,
the great Atlanta amateur, starred
with his usual sparkling play, beat
ing Hagen by two strokes.
Jock Hutchison had a tremen-
dous following, and hundreds Of
his staunch admirers almost wept
when Jock went bad on the last
nine holes OF the day.
Jock has morning round that
was away below his every day play,
but he was out with the first half
OF his afternoon journey with all
his old.time brilliance, reaching the
turn in 33. A repetition Of this on
the in-play would have put Jock
down among the leaders despite his
morning round.
The galleries were the largest
I have. ever known on a golf
course. There never before was
anything like this tournament as
n drawing attraction, or I should
say, q series Of attractions.
The greatest golfers the game
possesses were in action for the
crowds, with such pairings as Jones
and Hagen, Hutchison and Tom
Kerrigan, Abe Mitchell and Har-
rison, Johnston and Barnes, and
Mcdonald and others of like mag
nitude. I look for galleries Of url-

when football was Just another
piece of college foolshness."
Between 100000 and 1000, 600
spectators viii get the thrill OF
Fig Ten games this season, and.
judging from experience In former
years, conference officials believe
that from one-third to one half that
many will be turned away because of
the lack of accommodation.
Receipts from games in the con-
ference this season will total in all
probability more than s1,500,000, Of
ficals said today.
At Ohio State university, where a
new $1,400,000 stadium seating 63,-
900 persons was dedicated last Satur-
day, 1900 persons TANNED their
way into the enclosure and thousands
were turned away. The demand for
tickets TO the big intersectional clash
between Chicago and Princeton here
next Saturday was so brisk that all
of the seats were sold nearly three
weeks ago. Stage Field has a seat
ing capacity of only $1,000.
Extraordinary crowds have turned
out at ali OF the conference games

This demand has entailed such
tremendous amount of clerical work
at some universities that these In
