Findlay, l5S; Gilbert Nichols and David
Ogflvie with l60 each.
Lawrence Auchterlonie. the open cham
pion, had to be content with 162. and
curiously enough Stewart Gardner, who
was second at Garden City required the
same number of strokes. The first named
accounted for his position by the softness
OF the going. which made II extremely
difficult TO calculate short approaches,

rated that In very short time the play

them.
Both Auchterlonie and Gardner played
fine golf through the fair green, the last
named being especially brilliant In his
long game. They, however. were non
cups. Both George Law and Willie Smith

time year ago. The mouthpiece OF the
younger organizations have been making
all sorts OF assertions about obtaining de-
sirable grounds on Manhattan Island. but
no evidence OF grounds suitable for hase
ball purposes has been forthcoming.
Several OF the club owners OF the Ma

over the district. with the idea OF locat-

pose. and they are now the opinion that
no such site exists on the island

M'PAR TLAN LOST TO CANS

Joe Cans, the lightweight champion,
had no trouble disposing of Kid McPart-
land before the International club at
Fort Erie last night. knocking the New
Yorker out after two minutes and 20
seconds of fighting In the fifth round.
The blow that did the business was a
left-hand hook TO the pit Of the stomach.
the same blow with which Mcfarland
has won many fights Mcfarland writh-
ed on the floor while Charlie White count
ed the 10 seconds, but a few seconds later
he was fully recovered.
Cans did not extend himself at any
stage, although at times he showed
flashes OF his speed when the men came
TO close quarters. He made Mcfarland
do the hghting, contenting himself with
blocking and looking for a chance to land
one decisive punch. He dropped Mac with
a straight right to the. jaw I'm the third
round.
McPartlahd did not land more than
eight solid blows during the entire bout.
Cans smothering mos tsof his leads before
they were fairly started. Cans worked no
harder than he had to and Mac virtually
fought himself out I'm the four full rounds
fought.
MCFARLAND was not In the best of con-
dtion. Cans was In magnificent shape.
Both weighed under l35 pounds. Charlie
White refereed. The betting was TO
and 3 to 1 on Cans. and even money that
Mcfarland would not last eight rounds.
The attendance was about 2Ooo.
In the preliminary Herman Miller,
Cans sparring partner, lost TO Warren
Zurbrick. an unbeaten Buffalo boxer, In
seven rounds.
Miller was disqualified for deliberate
smuggling in clinches. after several warn
ings Zurbrjck had this contest well In
hand. and had Miller hopelessly beaten.

Chester Goodwin Bests Jerry King of
Fall River a, Home Club Smoker.
Joe Cans Defeated Kid Mcfarland in
Five Rounds Last Night at Fort Erie.

At the monthly smoker Of the Home
Athletic club at Central Falls last night
the exhibitions were not entirely salts
factory owing to the fact that there was
but one bout finished. Chester Goodwin
put II all over Jerry King OF Fall River
and the bout was stopped by the referee.
Stanton Abbott TO prevent a finish which
would have been decidedly objected TO
by the police.
The bout between Dan Sugrue and Da-
vid Allard was ended I'm the first round
by punch over the heart that caused
Sugrue to faint in the ring The only
bout that went 10 a termination was that
between Kid Moore OF Pawtucket and
Young Menard OF Central Falls, and this
went six rounds.
There was a large number of spectators
present and II was believed the card for
the evening would be productive OF good
entertainment, but events shaped them
selves so that in one way the exhibitions
were. with the one exception. somewhat
disappointing. The main bout was con-
cluded before IL was really going well and
one could not fairly determine the rela-
tive merits OF the boxers.
The main bout was begun soon after 8
o'clock. Chester Goodwin OF Boston and
Jerry King OF Fall River faced each 9TH
er and the work was lively and fast,
though not damaging. The first round was
ended with honors even, for both boxed
well and Goodwin's experience did not
give him advantage. Both were agrees
sive and fast and both landed freque tly
The second round opened fast and lively
and there was promise OF a rattling good
bout.
Goodwin judged distances better and
he landed several jabs in Kings face.
King came back and rushed Goodwin 10
the ropes and landed swinging rights and
lefts on the body. Then came break and
after brief sparring Goodwin landed
right on Kings jaw and King went down.
But instead OF taking the count he rose
at once and another smash on the jaw
noored him again. Again King rose In
side OF five seconds and as a third smash
would have probably put him out the
referee awarded the bout TO Goodwin.
King was not agreeable to the decision.
being on his feet. and he vigorously pro-
tested. but as the advice of the chief OF
police was TO the effect that a Knockout
would not be allowed the decision went.
The best bout OF the evening was the
first preliminary between Young Menard
and Kid Moore The Kid weighs less than
100 pounds and Menard was at least 20
pounds heavier, but despite this the Kid
was up and doing something all the time.
He outclassed Menard so far as head
work and footwork went. and had he a
little more time he would have won man
for man. The Kid got the decision.
The go by Sugrue and Allard was over
quickly, The men were at about 120 !
pounds and appeared fairly matched ply !
sically, but after the opening SugrlIe got |
a stiff punch over the heart that caused |
him 70 faint and so Allard was awarded |
the bout.

RELIABILITY RUN

Owners and manufacturers OF automo-
biles are more than satisfied with the
finish of the first half of the reliability
contest between New York and Boston
and return. Comparatively few OF the
machines broke down on the three days
trip TO Boston. and an almost equally sat-
isfactory test is expected on the return
trip TO this city. which began yesterday
morning The officials OF the Automo-
bile Club OF America have been painstak-
ing In their efforts 10 compel the COM
petitors 20 observe the laws OF the three
states through which the route extended,

The series between Pittsburg and the
Al-Americans, although II might have
seemed like nothing else but money ma
ker. has shown that the teams are act
ually fighting.
Nationals will manage an All Syracuse
football team. Buck then has chance
TO show his manager ial ability as director
of an indoor base ball team. There is no
rest for the weary.
Cy Ferry Is reported 10 have signed a
Washington A. l.. contract last week.
Ferry is on the Buffalo reserve list, and is
wanted by Manager Stallings. Cy will
not move away without having talk
or two with the Bisons' management.
Jesse Burkett likes New York He
doesn't like Muggy McGraw. That's the
reason why he will take some extra long
thinks before signing for next season
The Worcester boy Is too clever to be
caught by tempting offer from a man
he doesn't admire.
Pitcher Mills. who jumped the Montreal
team In mid season, was recently sus-
pended by Manager Morley OF Los Ange-
les. California state league team. for in
difference AS there was no other league
in sight. Mills had TO buckle down to
business. He has been reinstated and

Harvard pitchers In the spring. Chesbros $
money earning powers are at the highest
notch just now and he intends to miss
nothing.
Al the present time Pittsburg is plan-
ming upon playing Jim Sebring In right
field next season and using Hans wag-
ner as utility man. Wagner may get a
regular place In the infield through the
