THIRD GAME.
STANDING OF TEAMS
TOO MUCH RIVALRY.
Golf Club Team Matches Should Not
Be Limited to Experts.

From the New York World.
ITO one who has noted the progress of
golf in it's various phases since introduced
into this country the evolution of team
matches cannot fail to prove interesting.
What difference in the contests of today
from those enjoyable inter-club affairs of
five years ago! Now these matches be-
tween rival bodies have resolved themselves
into battles of from six to twelve of the
best players in the club, who fight for each
hole as If their lives depended upon the
outcome In the minds of many this is
not the true spirit in which to engage In
pastime of the nature of golf" Such Is the
opinion Of golfer who has had long eX-
perience in club matches.
1.-The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der seems the proper idea. and instead OF
bringing the membership of the teams down
to small numbers of expert players the
sport would have much more beneficial
effect If the members would turn out In
greater numbers In this way healthful
spirit of rivalry and gently added interest
in the game is bound to result. In some
clubs in the metropolitan district the rank
and file of the members never even dream
of making the team. Not tnfrequently
clubs become so worked up in their desire
to- secure strong teams that extra Efforts
are made to bring experts into the fold.
'In many instances players OF nearly
equal ability have considered themselves
qualified to make the team, and when one
lands the place at the expense of the other
Ill feeling crops out. On one occasion an
old player who had gone off in his game
for the time being and consequently laid
eff the team, was so incenSed at his captain
that he challenged the latter 80 a match.
The match came off. and the captain won,
which was probably fortunate for all con-
cerned, otherwise all kinds Of complications
might have resulted.
Some months ago two western clubs
made move that may be the means of
correcting the growing evil of limited teams.
There were no less than fifty-three to a
side and an impetus given to the
game that will not soon be forgotten.
1.-The social side is one of the most at
tractive features Of golf. and under the
regime OF inter-club matches limited to
handful of trained players, this phase fails
to appear. With almost the entire mem
bership of clubs that Is able to make a
fair showing at the game, engaged, the So
cial end is certain to hold its own with
the purely sporting. and this seems to be
greatly desired.
with only few playing on the teams
means that the old fellows are left out in
the cold; and while they may not be able to
score quite as low as the supple youngsters,
the veterans are nevertheless fully as en-
thusiastic, and what is more to the point,
It's their money that maintains and keeps
the big clubs going.
These sentiments are those of most play
ers who have the best interests of the
game at heart.

can League arrived in Washington last
evening" and witnessed the closing games

Chicagos today. Mr.. Johnson has come to
Washington to help Manager LOTUS ar
range the business end of the club, and also
to advise him about players for next sea-
son. Neither of these gentlemen Is dis
couraged over the past season in Washing
ton. knowing that extreme bad luck and
the death of Delehanty were chiefly re-
sponsible for the Washington clubs poor
showing.
Mr.. Johnson said this morning that Wash
ington, in his opinion, was one OF the best
in his circuit. and with club winning a
fair share Of its games the financial re-
turns would be big. Many new faces will
be under Manager Lotus banner next sea-
son, and strenuous efforts will be made to
raise the Senators up to the American
League standard.
A majority of the players will leave for
their homes tomorrow one or two leaving
the city this evening All the clubs obli-
cations were paid off this afternoon. and

Each spring a tournament is held, open to

feating Ray Little of New York on the
Bachelor courts. Geoghegan has improved

National League Clubs Standing.

The Chicago club opened its closing series
with the Washingtons Saturday and found
the local aggregation quite an easy PROPOSE
ton, winning the game by the score of
to 4. The weather was splendid for outdoor
sport. but only about 1900 spectators
turned out to see the game.
Case Patten once more gave poor exhi-
bition of the pitching art. the White Sox
hitting the bali hard at critical points. and
in this way made the hits tell twofold in
most every instance. Back of Patten the
Senators fielded poorly. the boys displaying
a lack of spirit which Is accountable for as
the season is about winding up. Clarke
and Patten made bad throws that were
costly and the outfelders in running after
the batted balls got over the field as though
they had lead in their shoes
The Chicago aggregation went on the
field in a somewhat diSorganized condition,
but played good game nevertheless.
Captain Manager Callahan sprained his
wrist In the last game in Philadelphia,
which necessitated recalling the Texas
Lacquer. Clarke, back into the game, the
youngster playing third, while Isbell went
into right field and Slattery to first. This
combination worked well, as Pitcher Owen
was a puzzle to the Senators and the ma
jority Of balls hit afforded easy chances for
the fielders
but in the second Chicago rushed one tally
over the rubber. the result of Slattery's
triple and Magoons single. In the second
another tally went up for the visitors, a
base on balls. Patterns error and a fieIder's
choice letting in the run. In the fifth the
third run was scored by Chicago. the result
Of two singles and Clarkes bad throw to
Coughlin.
In this inning the Senators got their first
score. Coughlin singing to right. stealing
second and scoring on McCormick's single
to left. In the seventh Sullivan's triple
Owens single and triple by Harry Clarke
sent the two irst-named home In the
eighth Chicago made its final two runs,
1sbell and Sullivan soaking the ball for
home runs.
In the ninth the Senators made matters
lively for few minutes through the medi-
UNI of a couple of hits and a base on balls
but remarkable stop by Magoon back of
second shut Off the rally and closed the
game. Robinson led of with a single. but
was forced out at second by Hendricks on
the latter's roller to Magoon. Osteen
struck out. but Setback got a base on balls.
Clarke then hit a hot liner into left that
went through Tannehill and Holmes. Hem

Over two thousand persons witnessed the
opening of the foot ball season at Lafay-
cite College, Easton. Pa. Saturday and

tfcally had two elevens in the game, Coach
Bull sending in eight new men In the sec
ond half. Only four Of last years varsity
Captain Ernest. Thomas, Sitter and Scam
nell. were in the contest. the balance being
either substitutes or new men.
Some Of the fresh material showed up
very well. and from indications the Easton
aggregation win fully Be as strong as the
team of last season ! Newberry, Duane and
Cooper did particularly good work. and as
they filled positions that were regarded as
the weak points on the team the outlook is
very encouraging.
DR.. Bull has made few. il any. changes in
Lafayette's style of play, the guards-back
formation being used almost entirely. 1t
was certainly used effectively. for the mutes
were pushed all over the field. Lafayettes
defense was also very strong. and her op-
ponents made three first downs in the en-
tire game. The lineup:
