NEW GOLF CHAMPION.
Findlay Douglas Beaten by M. X.

Another new champion has come to the
front in Merrill X. Waters. a schoolboy.
eighteen years old. who lives in Lakewood,
N. J.. and who Saturday won the New
Year open tournament of the Golf Club Of
Lakewood by defeating Findlay s. Douglas
in the final round Young Waters played
excellent golf all through this contest, but
he did not attract special attention until
he created a sensation on Friday afternoon
by defeating Walter E. Egan. the Chicago
crack. who was the runner-up to Walter J.
Travis in the amateur championship con-
test at Atlantic City in 1901. He beat Egan
in such easy fashion that his play there
after was keenly watched.
In the semi-finals Saturday morning his
opponent was Howard F. Whitney Of the
Nassau Country Club, who has local
reputation as a cup winner. Whitney, in
stead of beating Waters. as was expected.
was not even good amusement for him, and
Waters won by 7 up and to play. AS
Douglas beat John Moller. IT,, Waters and
Douglas met In the afternoon. While the
spectators did not expect to see Waters
beat Douglas. they were satisfied that ne
had plenty Of grit, and. despite the wet
grass and the pools Of water all over the
links, the women as well as the men turned
out In the afternoon and followed the Doug
las-Waters match over the links. 1t proved
to be an exhibition Of almost faultless golf.
It was discovered that the boy could drive
as far as Douglas, ! not further. He was
in every respect the equal of Douglas on
the long game, while he was his superior
on the putting green's Waters was the
first of the two to win a hole, did 1t the
most times. led at the turn and finally won
the match by his superior putting on the
home green. The crowd cheered heartily
over his brilliant victory.

GARDEN CITY GOLF HoNoRs.
Travis Defeated Macdonald Up and
to Play.

Two former amateur golf champions IN
Walter J. Travis and c. B. Macdonald met
yesterday over the Garden City. Long IS
land, links for the honor Of holding the club
title The contest was at thirtysix holes
and ended in a victory for Mr.. Travis by
up and 1 to play.
Additional interest was lent to tke meet
ing from the fact that Mr.. Macdonald had
defeated his rival a few weeks since in the
tournament at Lakewood.
At the outset Of yesterdays battle Mr..
Macdonald was 2 up after four holes had
been played, but, losing the seventh, eighth
and ninth, he was 1 down at the turn.
Coming back, Mr.. Travis was up at the
fifteenth, but fine four from his opponent
at the sixteenth reduced it to 2 up which
was the condition Of affairs when the pair
retired to luncheon.
Continuing In the afternoon, Mr.. Travis
was the steadier going out, and this enabled
him to turn for home for the last time up.
His opponent, however. stuck to his guns
to such effect that Mr.. Travis was dormie
going to the last green but one. A perfect
four from the last named gave him the hole
and the match.
Mr. Travis by his victory has now held
the club championship since he became a
member three years ago.

the paced problem. The circuit enables the
track owners hitherto at a disadvantage, to
book their races for the season and to Sc
cure the certain appearances OF the promi-
nent riders in championship contests.
With the success Of this circuit depends
the building of a new track within the city
limits Of Baltimore and number OF other
improvements elsewhere, which are advan-
tageous alike to the game and the riders
who participate In 1t.
Fifty Thousand dollars worth Of pacing
ARTILLERY In use on the cycle path during
the last few years Is rendered worthless Ior
the coming year by complete alteration
in the rules for motor-paced cycle racing
New motor tandems to the number OF a
score made expressly for last year, are USE
less, and a number Of the large motors
which created SO much stir in 1902, are now
out Of commission practically.
The new pacing machines will be OF the
sort used In France. Motors will be at least
fourteen-horse power and attached TO SIM
giles which will be sixteen Instead or Twelve
inches in width.
Last season the maximum width was
twelve inches for tandems. Few, II any.
tandems Will be used in 1903, and the old
double machines cannot be altered for the
coming season. The new pacing machines
will be on the exact plans of those brought
over by Harry Elkes and Jimmy Michael
and first seen at Madison Square Garden IN
December. Tires on the tandems Were
three inches and on the new machines Will
be FIVE inches.
Safety in pacing machines Is the desire.
and the greatest amount Of safety possible
Is being secured with the new machines.
Tires will wear a season through. and even
should they explode will stand up and not
throw the motor rider and pace follower.
Safety guards back Of the tires will prevent
the rider colliding with his pacing machine.
Speed will be greatly increased owing to
the Increased width OF the pacing ma
chimes, and many argue that IN this respect
the new racing will be more dangerous than
the old, but pace followers and motormeu
do not argue this way.

STARS CUT PRICES.
Base Ball Tourists in California Re.
duce Admission to rs Cents.

California has been weaned and raised on
two-bit base ball. That is why the fans out
west protested when the National and
American stars now performing there an
nounced that fifty cents would be the price
Of admission to their exhibitions. At the
same time local enthusiasts were too faith
full to stay away from the game on account
Of the increased price. and have willingly
paid double to see the big leaguers in
action.
At a meeting held IN San Francisco last
week Messrs. Cantillon, O'Neill, Mercer
and Long the executive staff for the tour
lists decided to make the old rate Of twenty
ty-five cents the cost Of tickets to the games
the stars will play from now on.
They want the people to know that they
are not In California for revenue only. They
have cleared the expenses Of their trip up to
date. and figure that two bits head from
Thursday on will see them through to Chi
cago with the credit side Of their ledger still
the heavier. --..

Farrell Out With BROOKLYN.

A special from Marlboro, Mass, says that
Charles A. Farrell. premier catcher OF the
Brooklyn base ball club, don't seem to take
It much to heart because he has not been
placed on the list for next year. In fact.
he says he will not play with the team
again until Hanlon fulflls his promise.
According to Farrell, he was laid up for
two weeks with malaria last year. and when
the next pay day rolled around he was
locked two weeks salary. Hanlon prom
ised him that the matter would be submit
ted to the directors, who would probably
adjust affairs satisfactorily. Farrell says
that up to the present time he has not
heard from Manager HanlOn or received his
money. and he insists that he will not re-
turn to Brooklyn unless the money Is forth
coming.

Larry Lajoie Improving.

A special from Cleveland says that Larry
Lajoie Is improving fast. and 1t Is expected
that he will be able to get out Of bed inside
of the next ten days. There has been a
noticeable improvement in his condition ever
since the doctors ordered that he have COM
plete rest. and no one to see him. Last
evening the doctors stated that he was now
practically out of danger. but he must be
kept quiet and have plenty Of rest and no
one to see him.
Hundreds OF his friends in Cleveland have
tried to see him. but all are politely refused
while hundreds of kilograms are received
each day from friends inQuiring OF his con-
dition. This Is especially true from Phfla-
delphia, where he has hosts Of friends.

General Sporting Notes.

The indoor foot ball tournament in Madi-
son Square Garden, New York. has been
such q success from both financial and
athletic standpoint that a movement is on
foot to organize an indoor foot ball league.
1t Is proposed to have the league formed of
teams from New York. Boston, Philadel-
phia. Buffalo and Syracuse.
Chicago University has decided to build a
huge toboggan slide on Marshall Field for
the amusement Of the students this winter.
A movement Is on foot to organize hockey
team at the Midway institution, but 1t has
met with little success.
It would certainly be interesting reading
for the stewards OF the English Henley re-
gatta to read the opinions Of the American
oarsmen on their action in closing their

John A. Frech and Alfred Ryan, two
prominent horsemen Of Somervtlle, N. J.,
made bet on Wednesday night of 81, 900 a
race between their respective teams. The
race took place at night and Ryan won the
event in just So minutes, Frech coming in
30 seconds behind. Neither team suffered
any Ill effects Of the race.
