New System Of Golf Handicaps- Kirk
land Defeated in Brooklyn Pool
Tourney-New Orleans Races.

Smarting under the sting Of six straight
defeats, administered by the Jolly Eat
Mems Club, the Saengerbund bowlers last
night went into a contest with the South
Washington Business Mems Club. with a
determination to wipe out that organ1za-
ton. But the Business Men gave the
Saengers a great hustle. and despite the
fact that the match was bowled upon the
latter's alleys, the South Washington men
were close up in the first two games. and
after a very exciting match won the last
one by small margin.
The entire series was SO closely bowled
that 1t stands in a class of it's own in that
respect, for no other set Of games this
season has been fought out with the scores
so close together. All of the games on
both sides were above 800. Leimbach and
Armstrong did the best work for their
side, the latter making an excellent aver
age. ''Old Reliable" Bill Kidd, one Of the
most popular players in the league. and
veteran at the game, had the novel eX-
perience Of being taken out of the game,
after the, third frame of the last of the
series He had been somewhat off form
in the first two games, and started badly
at the outset Of the final, so Captain
Bishop went into the game, himself and
finished the score In first-class manner,
playing the remaining frames without
break. Kidd will no doubt get back into
form in short order. All of the Saengers
put up good scores at times throughout the
match. but the men were unfortunate
enough to each bowl one small string,
very materially holding down the teams
totals
The first game went to the Saengers but
by the small difference of twenty-six pins,
and but for the strong finish of the Ger
man team the victory would have gone to
the other side. The score follows:

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Track Muddy and Outsiders Won the
Money!,


door leading to possible fraud in con-
nection with the sport at the Crescent City
track at New Orleans was closed yesterday
afternoon by the stewards They gave Or
ders that all bookmakers, their agents or
runners be refused admission in the pad
dock stalls while trainers and owners are
giving instructions to their Jockeys.
The stewards hope by this action to stop
the carrying of information between jock
eys, trainers and bookmakers. They claim
that much of the recent fraud in connection
with the races here was due to collision
between the ring members and the jockeys.
While they have not been able to secure
enough positive evidence to convict any par
ttcular person, they have heard enough sto-
ries to warrant the belief that agents for
the ring caused a great deal of the scandal.
Rain fell heavily, and, steadily yesterday
morning. and once more the outside path
was In great demand, Horses that secured
1t easily galloped home winners. This play
ed havoc with the fayoEites. Few, If any,
or the winners were backed, and the book
makers had a gala day.
Just before Peter WINNER started for
Mobile yesterday he stated that Hyphen
was better horse than Hermis. and would
prove 1t this summer. His claim was based
ON the race at the Gravesend track last
length.
Despite the fact that ssHyphen has never
won race with stake weights up, WINNER
stated that Fiypheh will prove to the sat
tsfaction of all critics that he Is able to
carry big weight this season.
Acting on the suggestions OF the stewards,
Conley and Munro refused to accept mounts
yesterday afternoon. r The officials are in
Vestlgatlng several OF their recent rides.

Irwin May Again Manage Phillies.

Arthur Irwin is trying to get his release
from the Rochester Eastern League team,
claiming that he has received a big offer
from Barney Dreyfuss to manage the Phil
adelphia National League team. TWINS
real object in getting his release from Roch-
ester Is probably to replace Edward Bar
rows at the head of the Toronto club. Ir-
win holds large interests in that organiZa-
ton, which must be protected. He signed
with Rochester before Barrows was Sc
lected as manager Of the Detroit club.
Barrows. who was formerly president Of
the Atlantic League, will receive $4,000 for
his work the coming season. His arrange
ments with the Detroit club were made
hurriedly. News Of Winnie MERGERS sui
eide was received last week, and one week
ago today Mr.. Angus, the owner Of the De-
troit club. called Mr.. Barrows up on the
long distance telephone, and an agreement
was made for a meeting in Detroit on the
following day. AS result of that confer
ence. terms were agreed upon, conditional
upon the Toronto club consenting to re-
lease him.

feat Of Wenrick was the favorite, and he
started out in race-horse style. taking
twenty-three Of the first thirty balls Not
discouraged by his opponents lead, Sneden
got to work in the third frame, and in the
next four he outplayed the Washington
man, and gained steadily. Kirkland spurted
once or twice, but his game In the main
was below his usual form. 1t narrowed
down to very close finish, with the out
come toss-up. Sneden found the balls dis
tributed to his liking in the last frame. and,
rising to the opportunity clinched the vic
tory by downing fourteen balls.

asked Mr.. Postal for $500 advance money.

EASY for the Jolly Fat Men.

A team representing the Jolly Fat Mems
Club of this city. accompanied by host of
rooters. went over to Baltimore last night
to play the return series Of games with the
Baltimores, a picked team. which visited
here last week. The Washingtonians were
in good form, and administered severe
drubbing to the Baltimoreans, taking all
three of the games played, by good scores.
The personnel of both teams was about the
same as when the teams rolled In Washing
ton. and the defeat of the Baltimoreans can
only be attributed to the superior rolling of
the jolly Fat Men. After the games, which
were rolled at the German Cafe, a COLA
ton was served by Mr.. Charles Schneider
and the bowlers made merry.
Mr.. Holman rolled high score, of 20S, and
Mr. Rodrick high average, Of 191 1-3. for
the Fat Men, and Mr.. Rossel rolled high
score. of 1913, and high average, Of 1872. for
