By Ray McCarthy
The open golf championship of the United States for 1920 will be
kid at the Inverness Club, of Toledo, Ohio, on August 10, 11, 12 and 13
hisannouncement was made last night by the executive committee of
?he I nited States Golf Association.
The committee held a lengthy meeting in Newark on Tuesday when
ho dates and conditions of the championship fixtures were discussed and
fccided on. No announcement will be made at this time in regard to the
?npomtment of a committee to consider changes in rules. This matter
*??! bo taken up at a later meetinc
following the open title meeting the
Jhateur championship will take place
ff v will he held at the Engineers' Club
f Roslyn, L. I., from September 6 to
1. The women will compete for their
lational championship laurels over the
Kv..rse of the Mayfield Country Club
if Cleveland from ()otober 4 to 9.
??- arrangement of the champion
ffips is sure to be satisfactory to
(???ryhody. and means that, beginning
farly in June, we are going to have
? season of international competition
,: o 1 ke of which has probably never
>?.-en staged. The placing of the open
ting for the middle of August
?leans that the b.est golfers on this
I be able to cross the water to
England; that the greatest. British
?layers will be here in force, and that
the 'e probably will be also a galaxy
?f French stars on hand for the event
Greatest Season Expected
This summer will see international
natches follow in rapid order. Interest
phould be keener than ever and for a
iongei period, and the standard of play
Ihould be higher than it has been in
pears, if not since golf was originated.
Several changes have been made in
?he manner of playing the open cham
r ? ship this year. For instance, it
n?s decided to have the competition
tx:er.ii over four days instead of three.
?nd to have a qualifying round. This
qualifying round will take place on
the two days preceding the champion?
s'!'.:;1.
". entire field will play an 18-ho!e
round, then those making the sixty
Four best scores and ties will compete
cr. a 72-hole circuit for the title. The
test score-- will not count, but will
limply qualify the contestants for the
: Dnship proper.
This '-vas the manner in which the
open title was decided in IS)] 5 and
1916, I ut last year the scores of the
coi testants counted from the first day.
In England it has been the custom, par
ticularly in recent years, to employ
the > ualifying round. The same sys
II be used in the title meeting
abroad this June.
Prizt? Money Increased
The committee also decided to raise
the an-punt of prize money to be given
' stants, as follows: First, $500
and i old medal to the winner of the
c nship; the winner is also to
ha- ? custody of '.he championship cup,
but must, if required, give security for
its safe keening. The second prize will
bi ; > third S'JW fourth $150 fifth
$100 f;x-h $90 seventh $80, eighth $75.
: ? S70 tenth $65, eleventh $60 and
tw< Ifth $55.
is an increase over former
which were: First. ?fiOQ; sec-!
or :. S250; third, ?-150., .md down to
tenth in the order finished, ?f!5. In I
- these changes the committee
considered the increased expense to |
wh ch contestants are put, and the |
-.. ? ts were increased ?--.ore toward
'-.- n i r the list than at the top. !
Tl ommittee felt that the successful |
ants could reap the benefit of j
their showing in the tournament, and
that - was wiser to make the increases
furtl r down the line and to give two
t.. money prizes.
The placing of the open champion
si..; in August ?shows that there is r.o
E-e- time for this meeting. When Var
don and Kay came here in 19?3 to par?
ticipate m "the United State- cham
; : the tournament was held in
:- iber, Last year it was staged
i and the amateur championship
was held two months !: .er. The wom
? n ? :?.? this year comes only a
week later than last season.
Last Year's Winners
The winner of last year's open cham
p ? p was Walter ?lagen, of Detroit.
Mike .1. Brady, of Watertown, Mass..
f. ? I second and Jock Hutchinson.
01 Golf, !i:., third. On the play-off
for firsl place Hagen defeated Brady
"i~ to 73 at eighteen holes. The tour
as held at Braeburn in Boston.
The amateur championship, played

gu ? 2,'L was won by S. Davidson Her?
ron, of that city. Herr?n defeated
R ? Jones jr., of Atlanta, in the

Local Armories May Get
Most of Big Boxing Bouts
Profits Would Be Used
for Betterment of State
Militia and Recruiting
By W. O. McGeehan
The Walker boxing bill has been
amended to permit boxing bouts in
the state armories. This may mean
that most of the ble bouts will be
held in the armories of New York
City because the committee of Na?
tional Guardsmen, having no rent to
pay, will be able to mako higher bids
than any private promoters. Billy
Roche, the veteran referee who served
with the Knights of Columbus over?
seas and handled most of the boxing
for the A. E. F.. will be matchmaker
for the National Guard?and William
is a mighty canny matchmaker.
The profits which will accrue from
the bouts in the armories will be used
for the betterment of the state militia
It is expected that the boxing show?
will draw recruits to the different
units, and right now most of the regi?
ments are in need of recruits. The
22c Regiment Annory would accom
modate over 15.000 people for a boxin?
beut, which is a greater number thar
could be piled into Madison Squan
Garden.
With the practical certainty of j
hexing bill coming out of the Legis
lature, many of the promoters an
dashing about getting leases on build
i:igs suitable for light clubs. It seem
to me that some of these promoter
are going to lose some money, in viov
of the competition that will come fror
the National Guard.
I think that boxing ought to b
pieced in the hands of men who ar
willing to hop into a uniform whe,
they are needed," said Billy Roche
last night. "The next time they nee
soldiers they willhavemore boxers tha
they had in the last emergency. I lov
the boxing game, but nobody can claim
, that the boxers were eager to do their
? bit in the last war. Under this new
i management we will put some new
ideas into their heads.
"No, I am not bidding for any light
that would have Dempsov in it. I
1 don't think the lads of the 27th
Division think a whole lot of him."
Stanislaus Zbyazko may be a mighty
wrestler, but her was thrown at bis
l fast appearance here by a New York
usher. At the Stocher-Londos bout
i .lack Curley had a new crop of ushers
who were trying their best to make
| an honest penny or two out of the
\ reselling of seats, and they did.
One usher got a $2 bill to get a
| seat for some late comer. The usher
| pocketed the bill and started to look
for a chair. His <r?-c fell upon
Zhy8zko, who was sitting at the ring?
side.
I "Hey, Biscuits," said the usher.
| "You got mv chair." And he took
j the seat from under the Polish
Hercules, sending him sprawling. The
Pole dusted himself off and sought an
> other chair in the rear of the building.

fairer to the truck; and certainly more advantageous to the
purchaser. A Packard Truck is selected and sold to fit its
individual work, with all the working conditions in mind.
N every line of business there
grow up certain practices?
"customs of the trade."

Manufacturers' "tonnage
ing" for motor trucks is one
of them.
Fifteen years ago a truck was
rated on its capacity to haul its
load and stand the racket of the
average bumpy road of that day;
taking the ?ruts, holes and hills
as they came. Good roads now branch out in
every direction.
Tonnage rating, as commonly understood, has
come to mean simply the capacity of a truck to
handle its rated load under averaged conditions.
* * *
There are three factors always to be considered
in assigning a truck to its work?Power needed to
haul the load?Stamina needed to stand up under
the load?-Working conditions?
"Ton rating" puts emphasis on the first?hopes
for luck on the second?and ignores the third
completely.
Packard Transportation Engineering today as?
signs a truck to its work with all three factors in
plain sight.
Packard rating has always been made to cover
Every man who evv sawed a board knows
it takes more muscle to get through a knot
than through the clear.
Three tons of merchandise on a wagon is
a one-horse load on a good level macadam
road. On gravel it is a two-horse load.
On dirt it takes five horses to lull it. In
mud it takes ten.
Your locomotive rated to haul fourteen
Pullmans in Chicago will deliver the same
power to the drawbar in Spokane. But the
mountain grades cut the actual hauling
power in half.
Why should the motor truck which can
haul three tons of coal over the hills of Pitts?
burgh be limited to the same "ton rating"
in level Chicago ?
the worst working conditions
rather than the best?and its
reserve power calculated for
the exception rather tlian the
rule.
By doin^ away with the ton
rating, the Packard Company
believes that it can guarantee
the purchaser a still higher per?
centage of the high reserve built
into the Packard Truck.
Hereafter each Packard Truck will be designated
by Size and Model. Each truck will bear a plate
stamped with the name of the purchaser and the
duty for which the truck is sold.
The rating will be made on the ground,/or the job,
by the local Packard engineer. The Packard warranty
will be in force, protecting the user as in the past.
* * *
However convenient for selling purposes the
"tonnage rating" classification may be for trucks
which are bought "over the counter"?it certainly
is obsolete for Packard.
Packard is selling transportation.
The Transportation Expert at your local Packard
Branch or dealer will recommend you a truck for
what it will do in your individual business and with
all your actual conditions known as the result of
careful study.
