45 STATES REPORTED
 RAINFALL WEDNESDAY
Districts in Extreme South Were Only Ones in Which There
 Was No Precipitation

New York, Aug. 26 P-Jupiter Pluvius reigned today throughout the United States, except in three southwestern states where summer sunshine prevailed.
 Florida gave way to California in yesterdays weather reports, for Key West had S.06 inches of rain in a 24-hour period, and eastern states generally suffered by contrast with cloudless Nevada and Arizonia.
 The traditional 40 days of rain after rainy St. SWithin's day has run into 42, and the weather bureaus gave no hope of relief for many of the deluged sections either today or tomorrow.
 While rainfall has not been con- tinuous throughout the period, there has been enough to damage cotton crops in the south, and endanger hundreds of acres of grain in the shock or ready for reaping in the midwest. The corn crop, however, was benefited, and the wetness is said to have put western winter wheat fields into excellent condition for blowing.
 New York has had 7,5 inch pre- cipitation in two weeks, and conces- sionnaires at Coney Island have been so hard hit by a late and rainy summer that they plan special week of carnival next month to recoup losses.

 Among the competitors trying to wrest the honor from Smith were Charlie Hall of Birmingham, who yesterday chalked up 6S for the par 70 links, Walter Hagen, profes- sional champion, who scored 73 in practice, Chick Evans the only anna teur who has ever taken the western open crown and score of other stars who have won various high honors.
 About the only missing premier golfer was Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, whc begged off from this meet on account of being overgolfed during the British meets in which he won the open title and his hard contest to capture the national open re- gently at Columbus. Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago who won the event two years ago was not expected to com. pete because of an injured hand.
