six days. with activity listed every
afternoon but Saturday.
Thirteen games are on sched-

Tomorrow, Roosevelt, Eastern

respectively. The first two named
games will be played at Roose-

staged at Ballston, Va. The usual
$3.50 o'clock hour will prevail for
each contest.
Wednesday, three more games

Wearied VardOn Presses On
Along the Inverness fairways
to player after player ran the
message:
"VardOn is par on every hole"
Now he's playing the tenth.
Another par, and walking to the
eleventh tee an unnoticed cloud
overhead suddenly Swirled, black
ened and swooped down and
heat cyclone was born on that
heatladen Ohio landscape. Un-
hesitant and unperturbed. Vardon
bored his teet shot into that
swirling crosswind and saw the
ball caught and swept off the line
into the rough.
Weary for the moment, he
should have paused by the way
side, but he pressed forward Won
dering no doubt at this freak of
nature. On his second shot he
barely got out of the rough and
was short of the green on the
third. His string of pars was
broken with a 6. Almost as soon
as he had played his mashie
shot 10 feet from the pin on the
twelfth, masterpiece into that
cruel wind, the wind died out.
The roar of the crowd was carried
to high heaven on the wings Of
the dying gale.
The great master had con-
quered the elements. Stiffness
reigned as he bent over the ten
footer. A deuce there would Lal-
ance par again. The ball barely
missed and slipped by scant ten
inches-a gimme" Suddenly
Vardon seemed to freeze in his
stance, his arms paralyzed by an
unseen force. A jab-and the ball
jumped three feet past the cup
and he almost missed coming
back. Throughout the years this
strange nerve complaint attacked
Vardon from time to time. Fate
decreed it just when fortune and
victory seemed to be walking at
his side. A sob choked the
throats Of the thousands standing
there. The great Vardon played
on, grim and accomplishing.
MatchlesS Rhythm Breaks
The matchless rhythm of his
swing brought back his pars again,
even though his step was heavy
and weary and his giant frame
tired from the heat and strain.
When Vardon reached his second
shot on the seventeenth, he walked
forward to judge his shot. He
had bad lie in a divot-cut, with
a brook go carry guarding the
green. To carry the brook meant
a precious 4 and q stroke gained
that he had lost.
Out came his braSsie; up went
his swing, and down it came Just
as it had for those 80 years-and
the ball was on it's way. 'Tt's

hush gripped the multitude: eyes
were blurred as the grand old
man Of golf trudged forward to
defeat. The carry had failed. He
had tied for second place at 296.
The championship was won by
his countryman, the famous Ted
Ray, who had 295 for his four
rounds; but when they handed
Ted the cup, he said: "Old AIRY
is the greatest golfer in this field"
And so he was, the greatest golfer
in any field that has ever played

Most Of the boys had finished in

The masters eye sparkled; his
massive frame Strengthened and
years seemed to drop from his
shoulders. This writer followed

Well, to make short story Of

Crawford. So we compromised

The Gaels knew all about the
young man and determined to
show how they felt about the
champions" by hurting their at
tack right at their strongest point
of defense.
The idea was to gain psyche
logical advantage at the outset.
So they began the game by run
ming one play after the other
right at Rosenberg. They weren't
gaining much, to be sure, but they
were keeping Mr.. RS back pretty
steadily on the sod.
Finally, "Rosey" got up, shook
himself, leaned over the line and
asked the st. Mary's signal caller
in confidential voice: Hey, am
I the only player on this South
ern California team. or are you
blind in the other eye?"
So after that they switched
their attention away from Mr..
Rosenberg. They had found out
what other teams that have
played against him have since
discovered-that he can take it
and give it. and that he's a
whale Of a football player.
Outplayed ROsey
And it is because Bill Corbus
clearly outplayed him in the
Southern-C Cal. Stanford game, and
also won it by his superb place

It has since been said that Ros-

that game and, therefore, not
at his best. But even though
that is true, and it probably is,
he needs no alibis.

1888 Lake Ore Shipments May Not
Exceed 100000 Tons.

With stocks of iron ore at lower lake
docks and furnaces expected to ap-
proximate 100000 tons by May l,
or nearly 100000 tons above normal.
and sufficient for over three years con-
sumption at the current rate, another
season of extremely low movements of
Lake Superior ore are in prospect for
1888, according to j. F. Froggett, Daily
Metal Trade, Cleveland
A survey of reliable estimates in the
trade indicates that lake ore shipments
this year will range between 5000, 900
and 100000 tons or around 10 per cent
of the movement of 63 1000 900 tons IN
1929. Shipments last year were 3,567,-
985 TONS the lowest for any year since
1886.
Estimates of some increase in this
years ore shipments over 1892 are not
based on forecasts of any important ex-
pansion IN pig iron and steel production
Rather the ore that is moved VIII be
TO relieve distress situations In leases,
to get ore out OF stockpiles where it is
heavily taxed, and to provide certain
grades to consumers for evening UP
mixtures.
Ore at hand at lower lake docks and
furnaces on Dec. l amounted to 3d.
OBS, 900 tons. Consumption IN December
was $50, 165 tons and it is estimated
that consumption from Dec. l to May
l, when the lake navigation season
usually opens, will total at best not
over 100000 tons. This will leave 28,-
100000 tons at or near consumption
points, compared with normal stocks ON
May 1, of 100000 tons.
In addition to this supply stockpiIes
in the iron ranges are being steadily
increased through part-time mine op-
erations as measure of unemployment
relief for 5000 mine workers in the Lake
Superior region.
On May l, 1882, these northern stock
piles totaled 15,O15 ,622 tons and this
year on that date they are expected TO
reach 100000 tons, making an ap-
proximate total of 46,8oO, 900 tons of ore
in stock at upper and lower lake points.
If blast furnace operations were to show
no improvement over present levels the
ore now in stock would be adequate
for fully five years.
The outlook for the ore trade is
dependent upon developments IN steel
AT the close of January there were only
Al active blast furnaces out of the 236
which consume lake ore, and steel OPP
erations at present are below 20 per cent
of capacity.
While some recovery has occurred in
steel mill operations from their extreme
lows, there is no indication of any large
bulge IN demand from important con-

Some reliable forecasts of steel ingot

total slightly below the output Of 3D.
000,0 in 1882. Other forecasts are a
trifle more optimistic, although the ore
, trade does not expect the consumption
of Lake Superior iron ore to exceed
the 100000 ton total of 1892, which,
if there were no shipments, would bring
stocks down to about normal.
