weather to watch the semi-fnal matches. and the

wind that blew down the grounds The conditions
were bad for the game. The court was sodden ana
the weather too cold and too windy for accu-
rate strokes Larned seemed TO suffer most from
these drawbacks. but nevertheless those who
wanted to bet the result were willing TO give
to his chances to win. Darned began the
first set wearing heavy sweater, and IT seemed
to bother his strokes and throw him off in his
play. In the first two games the Summit expert did
get started at all. He missed many easy
chances to score and repeatedly made almost mex
cusabe errors In the third game he settled down
somewhat, and, taking off his sweater, pulled out
games in quick succession after that, and even

TWENTY-MILE BREEZE.
Some explanatory notes were supplied at Larch-

far modern racer may be regarded as a yacht
There was a breeze on the Sound which ranged

of sea there nothing beyond that which should

When the tug Raymond went out to the starting
line the Columbia was careering about under full
lower canvas and going like a rocket. The Con-
sttution was still in tow of her tender. the Mount
Morris which was holding her head to the wind
while the canvas hoisted. After waiting a
long time the Constitution let go her tender and
payed off with the wind abaft abeam. At that
time nothing was thought of the fact that she was

METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION ISSUES
IT'S OFFICIAL HANDICAPs.
NOPE THAN A THOUSAND PLAYERS RATED
DOUGLAS AT SCRATCH IN SAME CLASS
WITH TRANSPORTER CHANGES

The appearance of Findlay S. Douglas at scratch
heads the list of a number of radical changes in
the official handicaps announced yesterday by the
Metropolitan Golf Association. Douglas is placed
in the same class Walter ]. Travis, the national
champion, having been moved up from the class
below The fact that Douglas captured the metro
politan championship Apawamis is the ostensible
reason for the change, although tie protest made
at the time last list issued would undoubt-
edy have caused the revision even If that victory
had not been won. At that time Douglas received
a handicap of stroke.
The list is the second to be issued under the
auspices of the Metropolitan Association this sea-
son and in that respect is distinct departure from
established custom. Heretofore but one list has
appeared, in the spring, remaining in force until
the following spring The last was issued just be-
fore the championship, in April. So many changes
in form occur in the summer however. that sec
ond list was considered necessary and the present
handicappers have been the first to get it out. In
the absence abroad of Adrian II. Larkn and a.
De Witt Cochrane the bulk of the work has been
done by Mortimer NJ Singer, of the Fox Hills Golf
Club, who has carried things with bold hand.
Cochrane has been reduced from to 4; Livingston.
of Fox Hills. has gone from to 8; Macdonald of
Garden City. has been cut from to 4; Stlman, of
ST. Andrews has dropped from to g. and Tying.
of Morris County. from to I, Glasses handicapped
l and have been cut out altogether John
Reed jr.. and r. c. Watson jr, left at their
former handicap of 8, but Herbert Hartman the
former national champion, who formerly rated
,at 4, is now placed at s. c. H. Seeley. who de-
feated Travis at Apawamis and later won the Con-
nectcut State championship is rewarded with
handicap of instead of s. while w. Bayard Cut
ting, jr., who rated at 5 the previous list,
is now handicapped at 6. The biggest gain is made
by Edward S. Knapp who receives recognition for
his clever work Westbrook by being moved up
from 10 to 6. Paul Wilcox. president of the Mont
clair Golf Club. who smashed the Montclair record
last week. is also noticed in a change from 13 to TO-
An association rule provides that all those han
dicapped at 10 better eligible for the n
nual championships, but the committee, as usual,
has embodied In list all those who in it's opin-
ion entitled TO Il better. This takes in about
thousand players who specifically
toned. All others receive handicap of IS. The
present list will be used as basis for handicap
ping in the remaining open tournaments of the
season Those who are rated at 10 or better are
given below:

SAYS THERE'S SNOW ON MOON
Prof. w. II. Pickering Returns from
Jamaica with Results of Several
Months Observations,

Prof. w. II. Pickering, of the
Harvard observatory, who has been
making astronomical observations
in Jamaica, West Indies, for several
months, has brought series OF
photographs of the moon, which APP
pear to establish the interesting
fact that there is snow on the moon.
To secure the necessary details
the surface of the moon was arbi-
trarily divided into 10 parts, and
there are five pictures of each of the
16 parts. Arranged in series then
all the prominence and depresSions
on the moons surface appear light
ed under five different angles of sum
light, and the astronomer may fol-
low any chosen object of obscrya-
tion under as many conditions of
light and shade
What the snow is can as vet be
only a matter of inference. 1t is
most probably the snow of water.
1t appears that the presence of an
atmosphere on the moon is accept
ed now among astronomers.
