NEW YoRKERs' EASY VICTORY.
Philadelphia Loses Interc1ty Golf
Match by Is to 3.


Match by 75 to 3.
Headed by Walter j. Travis, the anna
teur champion, the All New York golf team
phia Golf Association at Nassau. N. j.,
Saturday by 70 to 8. 1t was the fourth
match between the two cities, and, like
all previous ones. the New Yorkers were
overwhelmingly superior. In only one way
was the meeting exceptional, and that was
in the size of the score. Five months ago,
at Philadelphia, a similar match resulted in
favor of the metropolitan players by 54 to
IL and the two earlier matches were some
what closer.
That the test might be thorough, the
form of competition was varied. The MORN
ing rounds were decided man against man,
while the afternoon play was in foursomes.
Detailed III this fashion, the forenoon re-
suit was 60 to and the afternoon one Is
to 0. c. P. Lineaweayer was credited with
the only victory made by the Quaker city
players his match against Archie Gra-
ham, the New Jersey champion, being won
by 3 up. Graham was invited to take part
at the last moment a substitute for F.
W. MenZieS, the St. Andrews man, who was
unable to appear.
Ten men constituted a side, Travis act
ing as captain Of the New York team, and
W. P. Smith, the Philadelphia champion,
as captain of the Quakers Both sides rep
Findlay s. Douglas, the former national
champion, seconded Travis ON the New
York team, while Seeey. Bayard, Living
ston, Emmet. hitchcock, Cochrane. Tappin
and Graham made up the other eight.
Travis, though not at his best. defeated
the Philadelphia champion, Smith, by up.
His total score for the morning round was
SO. while his opponents was 50.
c. II. Seeley, the Connecticut champion,
met Rodman Griscom, who was runner-up
in the recent Philadelphia championship
The match furnished the only spectacular
finish of the day, Seeley winning only On
the last green by 1 up. Livingston took Z
holes from F. H. Bohlen, the old Philadel-
phia cricket man, while Bayard won from
McCawley by 6 up. Gallagher of Philadel-
phia was paired with Devereaux Emmett,
the Garden City golfer. who won by 9
holes.
A. D. Cochrane Of ArdsIey had Starr of
Philadelphia down, while G. L. Tappin,
the Westbrook player. made the record fin
ish of the day by defeating W. Thayer, 1C
up. 1t was Lineaweaver's victory over
Graham that saved the Philadelphians from
total whitewash and gave them their
three nOintS.

Baltimore BOv1ers No Match for the

The first intercity games between Balti-
more and Washington bowlers took place
Saturday night in this city between the
jolly Fat Mems Club and a picked team
from Baltimore. The results were not to
the liking of the large number of Baltimore
rooters present as the Jolly Fat Men did
not allow the Baltimore boys to score a
game
The first game was a close one, only a
difference of four pins The second and
third were Baltimore's Waterloo"
Wickham of the visitors dropped the
hardest of all. Kreh, who has the record
of 300, was the cynosure of all eyes, and
the local people expected a great game
from him. That was the second disappoint-
ment. Seybold and Brownley were not up
to form. Old reliable .Scotty' Leutbecker
was the king PIN of them all, and held
his end up to the limit. Hampe, who only
came over as a spectator, was called upon
to roll in the third game, and did fairly
well
After the game a banquet was rendered
to the visitors, and the small hours of the
morning found the boys back in Baltimore
a sadder but wiser bunch of bowlers. The
urday, November g. when the Baltimore
boys will try to even up matters.
Among those in the Baltimore party were
Mr.. Charles Schwider, E. N. Brownley C.

Several Important Points Agreed Upon
In Saturdays Session.
With Saturdays session the delegates to
the National Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues, which had been in con-
ference in New York for the last three
days, wound up the business Of the con-
vention.
After the report Of the national board of
arbitration Secretary Farrell was ordered
to investigate the claim made by the Wa
terbury club for George Prentice. who 1t is
charged umpired for Waterbury and play
ed with another club last season under an
assumed name. Subsequently, 1t is charged,
he signed with the Boston American League
team.
Secretary Farrell was instructed to notify
all the clubs in the organization who have
more than fourteen players on their reserve
list that the number must be reduced i'm
mediately to comply with the new national
agreement.
Rules were passed making it necessary to
file the names of all signed players with the
secretary of the association: making the
farming out of players punishable by a
penalty to be fixed by the national board
and compelling each club to pay it's pro-
lection fee before January of each year.
The body also adopted form of contract
for all the leagues in the organization. The
new contract Is almost identical with the
old form used in the National League.
1t was decided to allow each league to
choose its own ball.
The last business transacted was the
classification of the various leagues
Glass A will include the Eastern and
Western Leagues.
Glass B has in it the Southern and West
ern Associations. the New York State
League, the New England League and the
III League.
In Glass are the Pacific National

Two weeks from today the fall meeting
Of the Washington Jockey Club will COM
mence at the virtually new track at Ben
Ming and indications point to the most sue
cessful racing ever held in this vicinity.
The numerous improvements, including the
new steel grand stand, betting ring. ladies'
and mems club houses, paddock and addi-
tional stables, are rapidly being completed
and will be entirely in readiness for the
, accommodation of horsemen and patrons
when the barrier breaks for the field to
get away In the opening scramble. Local
interest in the meeting Is apparently more
pronounced than 1t has ever been previous
to similar occasion, and the out-of-town
contingent will be greater in numbers than
ever before, as already stalls for $50 horses
have been engaged, or 200 more than have
ever been stabbed at the track before.
This will assure good fields and exciting
racing in both the fixed and overnight
events, and permit broader speculation be-
tween the bookies and hackers. 1t is ex-
pected that about twenty-five bookmakers
will occupy the betting ring.

Billy Dinneen is still flirting with the

and John Is not the man to become q con-

Pitcher Lampe, who tried his hand at
twirling with PHILADELPHIA and other Ma

has struck his gait. He Is member of the

Fred Tenney signed a contract Thursday
with the Boston club Of the National
League. getting a substantial raise over last

Ban Johnson's blacklist is elastic 1t Is

of the players supposed to be rounded up by
the American League are going to play with
the National again the roll will expand.
The Cincinnati club is said to be using
fornia League to get him to sign with the
Reds for next season. Iberg is said to be
one OF the best pitchers on the coast, and to
