cerned in its genesis and devel-
opment. But its awful trombe is
a magnified counterpart Of the
twisting funnel Of the dust whirl.
Instead Of leaves it lifts and
filings broadcast trees torn from
their roots, houses whirled from
their foundations, together with
men and animals rendered help

furious forces.
Play Strange Franks.
Some Of the performances of
tornadoes appear entirely incredi-
BILE, although the testimony for
them seems Lnimpeachable. A
correspondent writes me that he
can not believe that a tornado
could drive a straw into a tree
trunk or a fence board. But we
must not forget that velocity Is
as important as weight in produc-
ing momentum, or force Of i'm
pact. 1t has been calculated that
aerial motions as swift as 100
miles an hour are concerned In q
fierce tornado. That is over ITS
feet per second, and a half-ounce
straw driven at that speed would
have a momentum Of nearly five
and a half pounds.
Tornadoes are the offspring Of
cyclonic storms, usually occurring
in Spring and early Summer. Be-
cause the conditions of tempera-
ture and aerial circulation are
there specially suited to their
formation, they break out near
the southern and southeastern
edges Of such storm areas. They
are like the spiteful eddies that
one may see spinning furiously
at the side Of a powerful river
current where 1t sweeps deep
along an abrupt, rocky shore.

TAYLOR LEADING

At H0yLAKE, ENG.

Hoylake, England, June 2S.-(By
\. PD-With perfect golf weather
prevailing, the annual struggle for
the British open golf champion be-
gan today with more than go anna
teurs and professionals trying 10

Hoylake. to1
Both courccs have been made so
difficult Il test, even for the best of
golfers, that few of the competitors
kept to par, and not more than three
dozen We're able to beat Bogey.
Leading the pack tonight was the
oldtime champion, j. II. Taylor, who
shot a sterliG 30 at Hoylake. Most
of the rest of the field We're in the
SOS. Arthur HaNers, the present
champion, got a q at Hoylake, and
Mcdonald Smith of California, a
similar score at. Formby. Sand
wichcd in between them and the
pace setting Taylor was James
Thinner of Bidston with a II made
at Formby. The other players fol-
lowed along in the I0s and SOS and
even the 9Os.
Only seven of the nine Americans
entered in the championship were
able to go to the first tees today
Johnny Farrell and Clarkson both
scratched.
Smith was the only American to
do exceptionally well. Gene Sarazen
played we'll, and the others were
only pretty good or pretty bad, with
a large gallery behind him Sarazen
set out to atone for his failure to
qualify last year and turned in a
card of -, which ranked among the
first score of leaders over the Form
by course. Douglas Grant over the
same links had an ordinay 81.
Gil Nichols was the only one of
four Americans playing the Hoylake
course to succeed in breaking 80. He
took a 20. Al Espinosa, playing with
a sprained ankle. was an even 50,
and Jim Barnes 81.
Walter Hagen, who was honored
by the greatest gallery of the day,
was always hopping from the frying
pan of hard luck into the fire of
faulty shots and took an SO, ten
strokes under the man who went
around with him-Samuel Robin
son, an amateur from Southport.
OF the more than 40 men who
played at Hoylake today only 81
broke so, the scores at Formby
averaged very little better.
Hagen did not hit his real stride
this afternoon until he had taken 45
for the first nine holes. Then he
kept his stride only for the next six
when the bunkers, high grass and
other distressful areas outside the
line of true and comfortable play
