“ NEW KING OF GOLFERS WINS TITLE IN A WALK ! ¥Long Jim” of Pelham, With 289, Leads Big i Field by Nine Strokes, Playing Deadly Consistent Game. BY W. R. McCALLUM. IM BARNES of Pelham, N. Y., angular, clover-chewing knight of J the driver and mashie, today stands at the crest of American golf- dom as a result of his win of the American open golf championship yesterday over the most representative field of goliers ever gathered to- gether to battle for a title. ! N ' Barnes’ winning card of 289, leading his two nearest competitors, Walter Hagen and Fred McLeod, by nine shots, tells the whole story, and gives an index of the remarkable golf shot during the four rounds of the tournament proper by this British-born holder of the American open championship. The new champlon's worst roundj total of 313—the first time for many was 75. His other rounds were 69 | years, by the way, that the magnetic 73 and 72.

Duncan finished in the money, how ever. President Harding delivered a most graceful compliment to Barnes, the winner—and to the other competitors in the tournament—when he said the Pelham _professional displayed excep- tional skill and courage in outclass- ing the most representative field that ever competed in a national open. The President was just as much in- terested in the play as the most ar- dent galleryite. He hung on the putt of McLeod with a tense air, just after some one had ordered the Marine Band to stop playing to allow the little Columbia pro a fair try for his g&le for the British open title, which eventually fell to the skill and courage of Jock Hutchison of Glen View, lanky 4 Jim led his entire field for three rounds. Then for some unforeseen reason—perhaps the same reason that has stopped him in previous cham- pionships—Long Jim _stopped. His game fell away and he finished be- Lind several other competitors. Fast Pace From Start. Setting a pace that could be follow- ¢ ©d only by a supergolfer from the very first day of the tournament Which ended yesterday, Barnes, in far better physical condition than during the British title chase, spreadeagled the field at the end of fifty-four hole: and had piled up a lead of seven shi N over McLeod and Hagen.

Yesterday afternoon, play. ing his final round in the mplon- ship, which he knew was already his Jim played with a surcty and confi-| dence that would not permit of any slips. He dld falter—there never was a champlon that didn't show some small lapse from perfect play—but his slips were so small and came so late in the chase that they did not mean a thing so far as the final result was concerned. We refer to thosé three missed short putts on the last nine holes—the nine where Jim was tiring badly—sitting down on the putting green while Peter O'Hara wafted the ball into the hole and other indications that the champlon would be glad when the strain over. Jim took three putts on two greens dur- ing the last nine, a thing unprecedented for him in previous rounds. Begins String of Slices. For a time—and the only time during the championship—it appearcd yester- day morning as if Jim was going to slice himself out of the title. ~His tee shots on the first six holes of the first nine yesterday morning were all in the rough to the right of the line of play and out of the first six holes five of them were made in 5s. Jim got back a big cup, which his club will hold for one year. Club Sets High Standard. The chief executive was introduced by President Howard F. Whitney of the United States Golf Association, who paid tribute to the character of the work done by the members of the Columbia Country Club in_handling the endless details connected with the tournament. Mr. Whitney said Colum- bia had sct a standard that had ne been equaled and would by “for other clubs to shoot at’ T're: dent Whitney announced tke presen- tation of a puras of $100 to the Bo Scouts for their assistance during the tournament and an_official letter of commendation from the U. S. G. A. ex- ecutive committee. Barnes played with the most superb contidence all through the tourna- ment. He was very long from the tee and appeared to have perfect trust in his irons. His putting was by far | the best of any competitors, kis only |slips in this department of the game coming on the last nine holes of the tournament. Barnes was also the most consistant of any of the competitors in getting down in two from green edges.

His ball lit on the green and came gently to rest agalnst the flag pole, dropping in when Scorer Chasmar removed the pln. ~From this point, although his tee shot were oft the line and he took 5 at the short fourth, Jim played with every confidence. He did not make any serious mistakes all day yester- 259 PFEIL BAFFLES SAILORS __Emil Pfell did some excellent pitch- ing yesterday for the War Depart- ment nine in the Departmental League. He held the Naval Hospital batters to three hits, passed but onec man and fanned ten. A8 a result he won his game, 3 to 0. Wilson, hurl- ing for the opposition, also did some good work, but the War team was day. Freddie McLeod's feat of finishing in a tle for second place is regarded as one worthy of commendation.

Freddie's only bad round—and that was not so bad—was in the morning of the last day—when, after getting out in 3 to pick up a shot on the flying Pelham professional, he an- nexed two more shots at the tenth and eleventh. and then proceeded to fade gently from the picture through a series of underplayed Iron shots and bad kicks. At the end of the eleventh hole yesterday morning McLeod was only one shot behind Barnes and ap- peared in a fair way to catch the lanky New Yorker. A sliced second shot at the twelft cost him a 6 at the hole and an underplayed iron shot at the thirteenth, coupled with a bad kick into a trap, cost him a 5 at this par 3 affair. From this poin: Freddie's game was only mediocre. He relinquished his chance for the , title at the twelft and thirteenth. Hagen, the only other serious com- petitor for Barnes' title, faded from the pleture in the first nine of yes- terday's first round, where he took | 40. Although he breezed back in a| par-shattering 34, he was too far back in the ruck and could not overtake the fast-traveling Pelhamite. He) added another 74 yesterday after- noon, but with Barnes playing per- fect golf, could not even approach the champion. Hagen has the reputation —and has upheld it—of being a very strong finisher—and no one could take anything for granted until it was definitely known he had no chance to win the title. Most Representative Field. Barnes won the championship from the most representative field that ever competed in the American championship. Far in his rear were such players as Jock Hutchison, the British open champio! George Dun- can, last years British titleholder; Joseph H. ‘Kirkwood, the Australian crack: Bob McDonald.

But these figures glve no adequate fdea of Rice's fallure to measure up to specifications as a sticksmith irone of the cleanup positions. In the lust| twenty games Sam has “batted in only four runs, one on a lucky Texas Leaguer and two on sacrifice flies, while on another occasion he stole home.

Sam is a good hitter.

FRIENDS “MOB” GEORGES ON HIS ARRIVAL IN PARIS By the Associated Press. P ARIS, July 23—Georges Carpentier, idol of the French sporting public because of his gallant, if un- successful, attempt to capture the world heavyweight champion- | ship, was given a hero's reception upon his arrival in Paris at noon today from the United States. i { | The 8t. Lazare rallway station, at which the French boxer's train pulled in was crowded with his admirers, and as Carpentier appeared, palpably surprised by the enthusiasm of his reception and affected almost to tears, he was captured b*the surging crowd and borne against his will through the | ! side door of the station and along the Rue Londres, Meanwhile the crowd which had waited outside the station, not know- ing their favorite had made his exit through another than the main door, pushed and jammed about the build- ing for nearly half an hour after his departure, clogging the thoroughfare in the ‘vicinity and dispersing only when the news spread that Carpentier had come and gone. That part of the crowd which had gained possession of Carpentier, and, with shouts of “Carry him in tri- umph,” had borne him to the street, swept aside the police line and rushed along the thoroughfares, Several doors and windows in the neighbor- hood were crushed in by the pressure of the throng, which choked the streets from building to bullding. Police reinforcements finally fought their way to the center of the crowd and asked Carpentier politely to make the rest of his journey~home in a tax- icab the police had brought, so -that fhe crowd would disperse. landed Carpentier declared that he considered ~Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing champion, un- questionably the best fighter of the present day.
