LOCAL GOLF SEASON.
It Will Be Opened With Match Play for
The Evening Star Cup.

All Indications point to a month Of re-
markable activity among the golfers of the
District and Maryland in October. BY that
time the members of the different local
clubs will have returned to the city, and as
it has been notable summer for the game
the sport locally will be given a pronounced
impetus. Open tournaments. match play
for teams of the District and also team
matches for Washington and Baltimore will
be the order for the month soon after Sep
TENDER has been crossed off the calendar.
All the local golf clubs report Increased
membership, and it Is more than likely that
new stars will come to the front to take the
places Of those who have been shining Tor
the past five or six years. The younger ele-
both at Chevy Chase and Columbia. which
is taken as an indication that big improve
ments will be noted on all the local courses.
The golf season will open on the Sd prox-
limo with match play for The Evening Star
Cup. Then comes the open tournament of
the Columbia Golf Club on the Sth, 9th and
10th. On the 18th the second match for
The Evening Star Cup will take place. On
the 18th. 10th and 18th the inter-city
matches will be played while a week later
the 22d. 23d and 24th-comes the open
tournament Of the Chevy Chase Club. Octo-
Der 81 the third match for The Evening
Star Cup will be played.
1t can be seen at q glance that October
will be a busy month for the golfers not
less than twelve days being given over to
the sport, and from now on hard practice
will be the order of the day.

TURF GOSSIP.
Highbau to Rest for the Remainder of
the Season.

w. M. Sheftel said after the running OF
the Junior Champion stakes at Gravesend
yesterday that Highban would not race
again this year. The colt went to the post
with cut on one Of his legs received in
the Golden Rod stakes. It was not an In
jury OF serious nature and did not inter-
fere with him in the least. but Mr.. Sheftel
thinks the colt has done enough this year
and is entitled to a much-needed rest. He
has won nearly $4,000 in stakes and the
other day E. r. Thomas Is said to have
made an offer of $4,000 for him.
1t was the plan of the Whitney stable to
send Irish Lad to the post in the First
Special yesterday at Gravesend, but the
Candlemas three-year-old while working
for the race last week pulled up sore
that 1t was out OF the question to start him.
Some turfmen at the track yesterday said
that Irish Lad had developed lameness
which might throw him out of training for
the rest Of the season. Meanwhile 1t is now
said that Irish Lads rival for three-year-
old honorS, Afrtcander. Is not suffering from
a bowed tendon after ALL and may race
again before the close Of the season. Train
er Dick Miller had the colt out for walking
exercise yesterday and said that he was
coming around nicely.
A. FeatherStone announced yesterday that
1gniter. the winner of the Champion stakes
on Saturday, will be pointed for the brtgh-
ton cup two miles and a quarter, for which
WaterDOy Is receiving special preparatlOH.
w. B. Leeds has purchased the three
year-old colt Hurstbourne from Tom Welsh,
who bought him at the Fleischmann sale
for 1000. 1t is believed that Mr.. Leeds paid
slight advance over this amount.
Perry Belmont has asked w. C. Whitney
to take the contract with Jockey Hicks Off
his hands for the rest of the season, as Mr..
Belmont's horses have few engagements
left. 1t is probable that Hicks will ride for
Mr.. Whitney. Incidentally. 1t Is said On
good authority that Mr.. Whitney Will not
engage "Skeets'' Martin to ride for him in
this country.
There was unusual disorder at the post
yesterday. Redfern was fined $50. while Co

far this season. Sam Lever has officiated
in seven of them.
Long Tom Hughes of the Boston Ameri-
cans has won every game he pitched this
season against the Athletics
The Pittsburg players claim that nothing
but miracle can keep them out of first

nor Manager Clarke believe in miracles.
A deal for Miller Higgins Of the ST. Paul
team was closed Saturday by the Cincinnati

The New York Nationals have secured

dent Hermann turned his claim over to

President Barney Dreyfuss says that his
ball team this year represents an outlay of
$12oOOO. He says he will try to give Pitts
burg one more championship team and
will then retire from the business. He de-
clares it is thankless Job. with little
money in 1t.
The race for the pennant in the Southern
Association is closer than 1t has been for
years. At present 1t looks like Memphis

at home.
Frank Smith. the Pittsburg boy. who was
considered the best pitcher in the Southern
League this season. will be found in New
York National League uniform next season
He will Join the Giants when they come
here next and may pitch one Of the games
against MISUNDERSTANDING Press.
1t is estimated that the proposed series
between the Boston Americans and the
Pittsburgs of seven games will easily draw
100000 persons. 1t has been figured out
that II the receipts are equally divided be-
tween clubs and players each man will get
about $546 for his share. This will be in
the nature Of prize money for getting

National League Clubs Standing.

The Athletics had an easy thing IF 1t yes
terday afternoon defeating the Senators,
the locals playing like set of wooden In
dams, while the Quakers worked through
the nine innings as If they enjoyed 1t. The
final score was 13 to in favor of the Ath-
letics. Pitcher Case Patten was on the
rubber for the Senators, and while he ap-
peared to have all his well-known speed,
he had no terrors for the hard hitters of
the Athletic team. Fifteen nits for
total Of twenty-eight bases was the
Quakers record, and they are evidently
getting their batting eyes on The ball for
a grand finish with the western teams.
Back of Patten the Senators put up poor
fielding game, the errors of omission being
more costly than the actual misplays
California Henley did the pitching for
the Quakers. staying the rubber for
seven innings, and In that time the locals
hit the ball safely but four times. In the

The Athletics began scoring in the first
inning, when Hartzell was given a base on
balls, and scored soon after on Davis triple
to the club house. In the second Murphy

Clarke and Patten were retiring Shrek at

ANOTHER FAST MILE.
Major Delmar Failed to Break Record,
but Goes a Mile in 2:OO34.

Seven thousand persons saw the greatest

his attempt to beat his record of 2OOA with
the initial days racing yesterday at the
breeders meeting over the Readville trot-
ting course. Alta McDonald's horse COW
Ell ed the circuit in 2.OOA. The conditions
for an assault on Father Time" could
not be improved upon, there being no
breeze, and the atmosphere being even
warmer than on the afternoon that Lou
Dillon did her remarkable performance.
An innovation was tried In the way Of re-
ceiving pace from an automobile. Because
of sickness to one of the running horses
which was to be used In the attempt
against the record, Mcdonald accepted
pace from steam carriage for the first
half mile; then a running horse set the
pace. The auto at no time got In front Of
the trotter. so that he got the full effect
of what breeze prevailed. The first quar-
ter was trotted in 3OA seconds. the half In
lOO1a the three-Quarters In 1.30A, and the
mile In 2.OO%.
Mcdonald when seen after the trial, said
that the conditions were Of the best, and
stated that the running horse did not get
to moving fast enough in the backstretch.
He also said that If the pair of runners
which gave pace for him at Syracuse had
taken part in the attempt he would, no
doubt have beaten two minutes.
Three of the four favorites in the regular
events won. Totara, one Of j. Malcolm
Forbes youngsters, won the twoyear-old
stake race in straight heats. In the four
year-old stake race. Margaret Bathgate
surprised the bunch by beating the field,
including Judge Green, who was favOrite.
Major won his fourth consecutive victory.
Locanda was the contender each time. and
Cox's horse took mark OF 2.O4. Promise
was the favorite in the 2.13 trot, and there
was nothing to it when Andrews let him
loose.

been provided for the men. and the pros
poets for good eleven seem better than
for many a year. The number of men APP
pearing on the field for practice thus far
Is considerably larger than has been re-
corded for a corresponding period in previ-
Gus years. and this circumstance is regard
ed as a good sign that Interest In the sport
Is greatly on the increase in Columbian.
Within a few weeks the hard work will
begin and the candidates will then show
their ability, or the lack Of 1t. for positions
on the team.

1t was announced yesterday in Detroit
that Manager Barrow OF the Detroit Base
Ball Club, had practically signed his team
for 1904. the result having been accom-
plished by degrees during the last trip
through the west.
One Of the features regarding the new
contracts will be of especial interest to the
base ball public. This is the insertion Of 4
clause in which the length Of service bind
ing the players to the club Is increased
from the actual length of the playing sea-
son to total Of six months. This is only
part Of concerted move which is being
made all over the circuits of the two
leagues. and can have but one object-the
certainty Of q post-season series of COM
prehensive character between the leagues
at the close Of the playing season of 1904.
