A far as professional interna.
~ tional golf IS concerned, the
~ Summer of 1927 will for the
4 a first time see the boot on the
other foot.
This is the season Of the year when
the express steamers which cross the
Atlantic have been carrying many of
our best American professionals to
Great Britain for an attack on the
British open.
This year the British have come
to America, and for the first time they
will have as good an opportunity Of
returning a winner in the American
open championship as America has
had during recent years of winning
the British open.
While these American attacks were
being carried on at the famous links
at st. Andrews, Sandwich, Hoylake,
Prestwick and Lytham and st. Annes,
the British professionals have had no
opportunity Of hitting back. British
professionals couldn't afford to make
the long jump necessary to play in

to launch counter-attack against
America.
Money for sports isn't anything

WHEAT HAS TUMBLE
IN TODAYS DEALINGS
New Low-Price Records on Crop
Reached-Weakness in Foreign
Markets Is Factor.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 4. - Wheat
values tumbled sharply at the start to-
day and registered new low price
records on the crop. May led the re-
treat with a loss of about 2 cents.
The break was chiefly attributed to
weakness in foreign markets. Rest
ing orders of around 1876 for May and
some buying against bids checked the
decline. Starting 5s to cents lower
the market showed but little power
to rally. Corn, oats and provisions
were affected by wheat, corn opening
IS to "a cents down and later under
going a slight rally.
There was plenty Of information as
to foreign conditions and practically
all of it was bearish. Buenos Aires
showed a distinct weakness and led
the downward trend of the world
markets. Liverpool slumped and Chi
cago followed suit. The seaboard
reported little or no export business
overnight, and these factors were re-
inforced when the visible supply of
Canadian wheat showed an increase
Of l 1872 200 bushels.
Australia reported that port load
ings We're increasing, the labor situa-
tion improved and vessel room plenti-
full. Buenos Aires said that Argen-
tine shippers were offering wheat
freely and that the quality was ex-
ceptionally good. An early note of
alarm from Rumania was displaced by
a later report that the government
thought the Winter acreage there
would be about normal India said
its crop conditions were fair and North
Africa reported the outlook as very
favorable. The only note that en-
couraged the longs was a report of
insufficient snow coverage in Hungary
and the Balkan states, but this was
not sufficient TO stay the downward
trend of the local market.
