For the first time in seven years and for only the third time since the war, Walter Hagen will be without any national golf crown in his possession at the close of the 1880 campaign. The only other bar ren seasons for the veteran were 1920 and 1923
 When the "Halg" failed to qualify at Cherry Valley for the national P. G. A. championship, an event he has captured five times, he lost his last chance of the year to bag one of the main titles
 It was a bitter blow to the vet i. eran, even though he took it with his characteristic good nature. Touring Australia and the Orient during the winter and spring, Ha- . gen had passed up the British Open, which he had won fou times, in order to attempt a come back at home. He had not won an American Open since 1919.
 He put in siege of training for ]. the battle of Interlachen and was installed co-favorite with Jones. For two and a half rounds, Sir Walter was in the thick of the fight, with a fine chance to go to the front, but he faltered and fin- ished with 303, sixteen strokes be- hind King Bobby.
 Eric Pedley of California and Winston Guest of New York come from widely separated schools of polo, yet they appear to have clinched positions on the United D States Big Four" by similar meth ods. Each has crashed through or thodox standards and, perhaps, some prejudice against them. Guest became an internationalist in 1927, assigned to no less a job than the replacement of the great Devereux Milburn at back
 Yet is was only through the sheer force of his riding and hitting that he was named for the international team that swamped England. There were many misgivings. Again, this , year, Guests status appeared doubt full. His handicap was cut from to 8. This may have spurred him on, for he has rapidly battled his way into the select circle again.
 It is odd that both Pedley and Guest are the sons of English fath- CTS. Pedley's father was crack all-around athlete in England, star ring at rugby, tennis and cricket as well as polo. Eric was himself an all around star at Stanford Uni versity, a good boxer, golfer, swim mer and tennis player.
 Guests father, the Hon. Frederick E. Guest, for years has been a pow CT in the Birmingham Club, gov erning factor in British polo. His mother was an American and Win ston learned his polo in this coun- try.
 Last winter, the New York base ball writers in their annual enter tainment featured a skit at the expense of Gabby Street, new man ager of the St. Louis Cardinals. The burden of ghostly asides, prompted by Streets many prede- cessors, went thus: Tn May, Gabby you won't be there" with variations for June, July and August.
 It is August now, Gabby is still there, the Cards have given good account of themselves and Street has signed a contract for 1881. Walter Johnson's old battery-mate is the first Cardinal pilot to be re-engaged in some time. He can

BONDS HOLD FIRM
IN QUIET MARKET
Lack of New Offerings Fails
to Have Effect on Price
Trend.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 4.-The renewal
of the heat wave today, together with
other factors tending to keep the bond
market dull, resulted in record low VOL
ume of trading. There was no general
weakness of prices, however, and high
grade bonds. along with few indus
trials and junior railroad obligations,
advanced fractionally.
The Midsummer dullneSs has also
made bond houses wary about bringing
out new issues. Today there were no
new offerings
down to low proportions was the closing
Of the London Stock Exchange for the
August bank holiday. This caused a
let-up in all the continental buying, as
Paris, Berlin and other continental ex-
changes, while not always closed when
London shuts down, nevertheless do
very little on such days.

The same lethargy gripped the more
speculative groups such as second-grade
rails, oil company issues, fractions, sugar

a new high for the current movement

TRADE SIMPLIFICATION
IDEA GAINING GROUND
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED fTeSS,
A decided quickening of interest on
the part Of consumers the Bureau Of
Standards finds. has taken place in re-
gard to trade simplification.
Where five years ago nearly all SIM
plified practice recommendation were
initiated by manufacturers and brought
to the consumers and distributors for
approval or modification" says bu-
reau pamphlet, there are simplihca-
ton programs developed today at the
instance of purchasers"
SPECIFIC instances cited to support
the assertion that consumer demand
for simplification Is a recent economic
change are to be found in the COM
pleted simplified practice recommenda-
lions on classification of iron and steel
scrap, bank checks, notes, drafts and
similar Instruments commercial forms
and the proposed simpliflcation OF de-
partment store wrapping and packing
supplies.
In concluding the article stated that
'If you want to keep pace with prog
ress. if you want to apply scientific
management, If you want to effect a
reduction of inventories, reduce over
head expenses, cut cost OF operation,
render better service, obtain quicker de-
liveries, benefit by ease and convenience
of installation, and help your company
meet competition successfully, tnen
YOU, as a consumer, must recognize and
Interpret the relation of simplified
practice to the commodities used by you
or by your organization"
Means by which all interests, the
manufacturer, distributor and con-
sumner are mutually benef1ted through
their participation in national simpll-
fed practice programs also have been
developed in the article.
