Two Rounds OF Eighteen Holes Each,
Match Play, Concluded-Featurc
of the Playing.

CHICAGO. July 1.-two rounds OF eigh-
teen holes each match play were played
by the contestants for the amateur golf
championship at Glenview to-day under
weather conditions that could not have
been worse. Notwithstanding the weather.
which introduced more than usual OF the
element OF luck in the game. there were
few surprises in the results OF to-day's
play TO golfers. who. as a rule, have shown
the most consistent form. winning their
way through both morning and afternoon
contests
One result that caused considerable COM
ment was the defeat of A. @. Lockwood.

City. The latter's victory was earned, how

put out of the running in the morning by a
youngster, Nathanial Moore. but the latter
was defeated in the afternoon play by
Walter Egan. the last years runner UP to
Travis. Egan's play was very consistent
In fact, he is displaying greater steadi-
ness than any of the younger Western
players, and should he win to-morrow's
hard contest with G. A. Ormiston, OF Pitts
burg. it is considered he will stand an ex-
cellent chance Of reaching the finals.

to-day's contests. was far from equaling
yesterdays high standard even taking into
consideration the unfavorable weather con-
ditions Notwithstanding this, he is stu
considered one of the most formidable con-
testants for championship honors.
Two matches that will be watched with
much interest tomorrow morning will be
those between Travis and E. NJ. Byers of
Pittsburg, and DR.. l. /. Harlan, Of Column
bia, and II. Chandler Egan, Of Exmoor
The latter. in this mornings game to-day
holes, four strokes under DOGGY, and won
the match at the twelfth hole, eight strokes
under DOGGY. This score was made while
the wind was blowing a gale, Egan show
ing form that has seldom been eQualed.
His play fell off somewhat during the af-
ternoon under slightly improved weather
conditions. but he held the game safe from
the start.
Although Champion Travis did not dis
play particularly good form, either I'm the
morning or afternoon, yet his play was
steady enough to strengthen the belief that
he again will win the championship and
that. too, without much difficulty He won
both morning and afternoon games almost
as he pleased. This was due, IN a measure
TO the failure OF his opponents TO take ad-
vantage OF opportunities, but Travis APP
parently held his men cheaply and played
carelessly at times.
Young Byers, OF Pfttsburg. II he shall
play the golf he has done so far in the tour
nament will, IL Is considered, give Travis the
first test he has had and a large gallery
probably will follow the two around the

ping coal into the anthracite market. IL
has been said that there would be no gen
eral strike unless the bituminous operators
shipped coal into the strikers competitive
market. different view seems 10 be taken
now of the question, and instead of barr
ing bituminous coal, the operators VIII be
allowed TO market all they can. 1t is cited
that the miners never won strike when
they prohibited the operators from shipping
coal into a competitive strike market but,
on the other hand, when they allowed them
10 sell all the union coal they could the
strike was soon terminated, because the
operators controlling the market affected
by the strike found themselves losing their
customers.
The fact that the miners Will not likely
consider curtailing the output Of coal as a
means of preventing the anthracite oper
ators from supplying their markets, adds
color to the belief that the miners may de-
eide TO throw the anthracite market open
to the bltuminous operators. The plan of
limiting the output of coel was tried in
District 2 Of the bituminous field Of Penn
sylvania. since the anthracite strike be-
gun, and, it is said. was not successful and
failed 10 accomplish the purpose intended
1t is known that several delegates will take
the position in the convention that il is
better for the miners to allow the bitumin-
Gus operators to ship coal into the anthTa-
cite market and furnish union miners
steady work, than to prohibit them from
supplying the strike field.

BALTIMORE CLUB SOLD
CONTROLLING INTEREST PURCHASED
BY ANDREW FREEDMAN.
Four of the Players to Join the New
York Club and Two 10 Play
with Cincinnati.

BALTIMORE, July 16.-John j. McGraw,
representing Andrew Freedman, and act
ing, il is believed, as an envoy of the Ma
uonal League, to-day secured a controlling
interest in the Baltimore baseball club. At
his instance 2O1 shares of the 100 shares
of stock of the company, representing the
holdings of John ]. Mahon, were trans
ferred to Joseph C. France. an attorney of
this city. Mahon's holdings included the
shares formerly owned by Robinson, Nc
Graw. Kelley and the Rev. John G.. Boland,
Catholic priest The consideration could
not be learned.
Six of the Baltimore players were released
after to-day's game. Four of them-Pitch-
ers McGinnity and Cronin. First Baseman
Mccain and Substitute Bresnahan-left
for New York early in the evening The
others-Date Manager Kelley and Outheld-
er Seymour-are expected to leave to-mor-
row morning for Cincinnati. Great pres
sure was brought to bear upon Selba oh
and Williams to have them sign with Ma
tional League teams but they state they
are under two years contract, and unless
they are released will remain in Baltimore
tonight. But warm personal friends say
that his playing days are over and that he
will take this opportunity of retiring from
the game
Ban Johnson, president Of the American
League, was In the city, but up to a late
hour tonight his stopping place could not
be located Friends, who have been in close
touch with him, assert, however, that he
has been expecting this emergency and
claim that he is fully able to meet it. 1t is
probable the game scheduled for to-mor-
row with st. Louis will be allowed to go by
default in order that the Baltimore fran
chise may be declared forfeited. The COM
pany will be reorganized by the present
minority stockholders, namely, Vice Presi-
dent Sidney s. Frank, Secretary Harry
Goldman and Theodore l.. Straus. With the
help of President johnson, who holds a
lease on the American League grounds. II
is expected a full team will be ready to con-
tinue the regular schedule by the close Of
the present week.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-President Ban
johnson, OF the American League, ex-
pressed but little surprise tonight when in
formed that McGraw had secured a con-
trolling interest in the stock of the Balti-
more Club. He denounced those who had
jumped the club and said that if il was
wall by the sale of their interests TO the
National they had overshot their mark.
Friday l shall have a strong team in that
city prepared to finish out the Baltimore
schedule he said, Each of the seven
other teams Of the league will go TO the
front for me and send their surplus players,
from which a fast team may easily be
constructed"

COLUMBUS, O., July 16--When Sutthon
and Kellum warmed up before to-day's
game the south paw appeared to be in bet
ter form and Manager Watkins chose him
to send the locals down to their eleventh
straight defeat. Kellum pitched very fair
game but the left-hander who once held
Columbus to one hit was by no means
wholly responsible for the reverse. Big
Tom Thomas was on the slab for the locals
and he pitched we'll enough to earn shut
out. but Eddie Wheeler handed the visitors
five runs in the fifth inning and gave the
game away. His tumble of Coulters easy
grounder gave the first man up life. and
his wild throw to first with the bases full a
little later put the visitors in the running.
where they remained for the rest of the
game. Wheeler's errors were made on the
easiest sort of chances He had busy day
al shortstop, and, aside from his costly
misplays in the fifth inning, did very well;
The visitors played brilliantly behind hel-
lum. The fine fielding of Kuhns and Coul-
ter cut off several apparently safe hits and
O'Brien and Captain Fox were sections OF
stone wall. Seibert, the new third base
man, INDUCED in couple of fumbles, one
of which cost a run. These were the only
misplays made by the visitors, and they
were excusable, as the young amateur is
playing under the handicap of badly
bruised right hand The locals hit kellum
rather hard throughout the game, but his
fine support kept the score down.
Two runs In the first inning sent the To-
Gals away in the lead. With one out
Wheeler drew a pass and scored wnen
Grim drove the ball to the center-field fence
for q triple. Sebert let the throw-in es-
cape him and Grim kept right on to the
plate with the second tally. There was
nothing doing until the last half of the
fifth, when Wheeler's errors, a fumbled
bunt by Thomas, singles by Billy Fox and
Kuhns and Hogriever's scratch double back
of first base yielded the five runs which
won the game. The Senators earned one in
the eighth on doubles by Wheeler and Nc
Farlan and the visitors added one in their
half of the same inning as result of Nc
Farlan's muff of Coulters difficult fly.

WAY LEVY ASSESSMENT.
Miners TT Work Can Turn over ST.
100000 n Month to strikers.

The informal discussions in the lobby Of
the Occidental Hotel last night showed
that the sentiment against a general strike
is increasing. while the movement in favor
Of big defense fund is growing. The Illi-
nois miners. who are considered the best
fnanciers n the organization, are agitating
a movement 10 levy an assessment on al
the bituminous miners that are not on
strike to raise funds TO support the anthra-
cite strikers. Such proposition Will be
made 70 the convention. but 1t is not known
what rate OF assessment will be proposed
The talk last night was in favor of an as
sessment ranging all the way from 10 to 80
per cent. OF the miners earnings. The lat
ter figure is too high 10 be given much con-
sideration, but there were not a few who
thought that the miners would stand levy
OF % per cent. Such an assessment would
mean an enormous revenue TO the national
organization. but when il is considered that
there are 100000 men, women and children
in the anthracite field 10 feed, calculations
must be based on big figures. 1t was fig
ured last night that il all the bituminous
miners averaged so a week. conservative
estimate, the revenue from this assessment
would be S25O0,0O0 a month. an amount suf-
ficient to keep the strikers. Many argued
that they could be kept for much less. and
ii was said. the Illinois miners had support
ed strikers in that State and won strikes
on levy OF % per cent, when han or the
men were on strike and half working. How
ever. the men employed had steady work,
and, all the bituminOUs miners are not
now steadily employed. the assessment
would necessarily be larger.
The convention can only decide how far
the miners will go into their purses TO as
sist the anthracite strikers. Every officer
and delegate said he would be willing TO
contribute money or strike if il Is necessary
to win a victory for the anthracite men,
but they do not favor such policy unless
II is the last resort W. ID. Van Horn, who
was president of the Indiana bituminOus
district for several years and IS an active
worker in the organization, said last night:
The miners of Indiana are all in favor OF
assisting the anthracite men, and If gen
eraI suspension of wOrk-shOuld be ordered
and a day set to suspend work every man
in the State would Immediately lay down
his pick without waiting for that day. This
is the feeling OF the Indiana miners, and
believe it is the same in all the other dis
tricts."
one OF the discussions that will come up
in the convention will be over refusing the
bituminous operators the privilege of ship
