early part Of the race. Adams of Scot

men, OReilly, Doyle and McKeon, in
the next three places.
Harold M. Osborn of the Illinois A.
c. scored a great personal triumph by
retaining the two titles he won four
years ago in the high jump and md
ing broad jump. Osborn beat Charles
McGinnis of the Chicago A. A. by 2
inches to take the high jump title. Os-
born's winning Jump was 6 feet inches.
In the nding broad jump the Chi

be played at the Western Golf and
Country Club here, on Wednesday, Au-
gust 90
There is nothing new in a meeting
between the holders of the two premier
golf titles of the world. but the plan to
be followed by Hagen and Farrell is an
innovation. according to Bob Harlow.
the Haig'S manager,
THE victor in three out of five matches
will win the series. On other occasions
of special matches between two leading
golfers one 72-hole match has been
played. This system. according TO
Hagen, is unfair to both the players en-
gagged and to the club which sponsors
the match. His reason is that one
player may obtain such margin in the
first IS holes as to kill interest in the
final rounds He believes that a fairer
chance is offered both players under the
series plan. which leaves an opportunity
for a comeback for player who might
happen TO be badly off form
Hagen's matches with Archie Comp
ston, in which he was hopelesSly beaten
at the end Of 36 holes. and his test with
Bobbie Jones In Florida several years
ago. in which he had the Albanian
thoroughly beaten at the halfway
mark. were cited as examples

stated that he would play under any
system suggested by Hagen. The dates

EAGLE ATTACKS MAN
 IN THE kANT|SHNA

From Fairbanks comes a remark able piece of news telling of the attack by an eagle upon Albert Bell, mining man, who was en- route over a trail in the Kantish- na, when attacked.
 The Fairbanks News Miner sail MT. Bells attention was first at tracted by a slight rustling sound and upon turning saw a gigantic eagle about to swoop down on him. He was unarmed except for small stick but fortunately his partner, Kerns, attracted by Bells excla- nation, was carrying a rifle and with one shot killed the eagle.
 The eagle measured eight feet across the wings. MT. Bell believes the eagle mistook him for some animal upon which it was won't to prey. The eagles descent was made without noise, the eagle be- ing only few feet away when Bell was first warned of danger.
