LONDON, June 2nd.
A swift counter-stroke has been made by leading bookmakers to the proposal for establishing a private pari-muttel, associated with the nama of Mr. Handall, of the Turf Guardian Society.

It would be interesting to see the full scores of the American Open Championship, which that wonder ful golfer Bobby Jones lost to Johnny Farrell on the play-off over 30 holes. Farrell's sccre never ap- peared on Reuter's list until the fourth round, when he tied with Bobby Jones at 999 Jones was apparently leading the field after two rounds, with 73+71-144, and Walter Hagen with 75+79-147 stood equal fourth. Jones aver aged 74 for his next twop rounds, during which Hagen fell one shot hohind, while Farrell appeared out of the blue to tie with Bobby' Jones."
In the play off on Sunday Far rel had the extremely fine score of: 70 to Jones 73 on the morning round, a great achievement in any circunstauces, but especially in the nerve wracking conditions of an Open Championship tic.
