White Marsh Star Hangs Up
New Figures For Four
Rounds
Special to the Telegraph
New York, July 20.—A world's rec
ord for the best 72 holes of golf in a
professional tournament was made
yesterday at Van Cortlandt Park,
when James Barnes, of Whitemarsh,
Philadelphia, completed the four
rounds in 276. It was just two strokes
better than Mac Donald Smith made
at Scarsdale two years ago. when he
won the metropolitan championship.
This new mark was made by three
brilliant rounds and one that was only
ordinary- Barnes had such a lead after
completitlg his third 18 holes that he
could afford to take things easy and
still lead the field.
Barnes Plays Pat J. Doyle
Barnes played with Pat J. Doyle,
with whom he was tied for first place
after Tuesday's play.
It was a grand battle between these
two stars in the morning, but the
elongated Englishman outgamed his
rival for first honors and finished
with a 67, while Doyle required 69.
Such golf was a rare treat for the
large gallery that followed the play
ers over the links. Both showed the
strain in the afternoon and Doyle fell
further behind and was finally passed
by Elmer Leving and Jack Dowling.
who tied at 279. Robert MaeDonald,
of Buffalo, also passed the Irish cham
pion. bettering his score by a single
stroke.

SENATE STANDS j
BY ARMOR PLANT
Penrose Predicts Government
Will Never Carry Through
Measure's Provisions
Washington, July 20.—For the sec
ond time this session the Senate yes
terday voted to establish a government
i armorplate plant at a cost of $11,000,-,
j 000. As before. Senators Oliver and
| Penrose led the fight against the pro-'
j posal.
Senator Oliver's motion to strike from !
the naval appropriation bill the pro-
I vision for the armor plant was defeat
•ed 51 to 17. Sixteen Republicans voted
with the Democrats and Senator Tag- j
gart. of Indiana, voted with the Re- j
: publicans. The Oliver amendment to j
defer erection of the plant until an i
investigation into the cost of manu- |
faeture of armor by the Federal Trade ;
Commission and to have the commis- i
slon fix "fair and reasonable price" was
defeated. 49 to 16. Senator Newlands.
of Nevada, voted with the Republicans
j on this, but Senator Taggart Joined the
Uemocrats. The Republican Senators
I voting for the government plant were j
] Borah. Clapp. Cummins. Gronna. Jones,
Kenyon. I.a Follette. N'orris Poindexur.
Stirling and Works.
This second vote on the bill became
necessary when the House Naval Af
fairs Committee incorporated it as a
| part of the naval appropriation bill,
j The government plant now has been
authorized by both houses.
I Senator Penrose at the close of his
speech predicted that the government I
plant will never be erected.
"I have one consolation," he sa id.
"I hope to be able to show when the 1
revenue bill comes up that the Treas
ury of the United States Is virtually
bankrupt; that an enormous deficit will
exist notwithstanding the passage of i
the pending revenue bill, with all its
provisions, subject to possible litiga
tion and oppressive upon the people.
3 say, without fear of contradiction, that
there is not an officer of the American i
j navy who approves this project. I say, I
| there is not a mllitarvetaoishidluata
| without fear of contradiction, that
: there is not a military authority in any
j civilized nation in the world who would
not stand aghast at this proposition to
establish this government armor plant,
I which must inevitably result in putting
out of business every one of these three
j concerns.
j "Could there be a fairer offer? Has
there ever been an offer made to the
( American government in its history of
140 years similar to the proposition
now made by the armor plate manu
facturers? First, after furnishing ar
mor for many years at a lower rate
than that of any other country ni the
world, they agreed to reduce the price
S3O a ton, and that not having been
favorably considered either by the Sec
retary of the Navy or by the Naval Af
fairs Committee, they now appear and
offer to submit their books to any
I inspection of accountants and to ac
j cept a price for a term of years for the
amount of this whole preparedness
proposition that may be fixed by the
| Federal Trade Commission. I know
iof no other concern in the long his
tory of the government furnishing mu
nitions or anyhing else which lias made
an offer so candid and open and so fair
as this is."
The impression prevails, even among
Democrats who voted for the govern
ment armor plant, that the Administra
tion would never attempt to build a
government factory. As viewed by
liese men, it Is proposed to hold the
authority ot build such a plant over
the armor makers as a club, with which,
if possible, to force another reduction
in the price of armor plate.
Johnson Scores Tener;
Claims Ruling Unfair
Cincinnati, 0., July 20. —President
:B. B. Johnson, of the American
League, in his minority report on the
National Commission's decision in the
case of C. H. Ebbets, of the Brooklyn
Nationals against the Newark Inter
national League club, which was given
| out here yesterday, intends that the
decision of the International League
1 was just, and he sharply criticises the
finding of President Tener, of the Na
tional League and Chairman Herr
ji matin, who wrote the majority report.
The majority decision, which John
son contends Is at variance with the
facts, denied the Brooklyn club's
claim for $75,293.81 against the New
ark club, but allowed the Brooklyn
i club the difference between the
amount received for the franchise of
the Newark club by the International
League and the net expense incurred
In operating the club during 1915, at
I' Harrisburg, Pa., and Newark, N. J.
II Johnson contends that the Interna
tional League club members are to be
commended for their "fairness and in
dulgence in handling the condition#,"
I and further declares that "the re
h maining clubs, burdened with heavy
j losses In an unequal conflict with the
| Federal League, were forced to put up
j the money to tide the league over this
| most embarrassing predicament." No
claim was registered by the retiring
| owners of the Newark club, until the
I Federal League was eliminated, John-
I son states.
i The International League decision
' In the case was to approve the for
i felture of the Newark franchise by

CALHOUN DAY IS
TODAY'S FAN BILL
Former Harrisburger Given
Warm Welcome; Islanders
Take Final From Elmira
This was "Calhoun Day" with base
: ball fans. If everybody who has been
talking about the big event went to
Island Park this afternoon a new rec
ord was expected for week day at
tendance. John Calhoun, manager of
the Binghamton team, gave Harris
burg good baseball several years ago.
When he was a Tri-State star there
was no more popular player. He is
just as popular to-day. Local fans
have always held a warm spot in their
hearts for "Red" Cainoun.
The series with Binghamton start
ing to-day includes three games. As
the Bingoes are leading the race, Har
j risburg must fight hard to win. The
Islanders are only a few games back
|of Albany. Walter Blair hopes to
take two out of the three games. The
game to-morrow afternoon will start
at 2:30 and on Saturday at 3 o'clock.
Binghamton has a fast fielding
: bunch. The averages do not show
I but one star hitter. Kay, the right
fielder. However, the hitters have
been touching up the ball timely and
] landed victories through good pitch
: ing and support.
Harrisburg Takes Another
Harrisburg added a victory yester
| day, winning from Elmira. score 8 to
;1. Volz pitched a good game although
I wild at times. Caporel, the Elmira
j southpaw, started badly, walking four
I men, and getting bumped with bases
1 filled.
The only time Elmira was able to
| bunch the bingles. was in the fifth in
-1 ning when three came in succession
and the one run scored by the visitors.
Harrisburg had a killing in the sixth.
1 chalking up six safeties and as many
I runs. The score follows:
