VICTORY FOR GRANT.
Local Boy Showed Great Improvement

Der of pounds heavier than the local boy
the latter proved that weight was no handi-
cap to him. Haines forfeited $50 before the
match because he could not get down to the
weight for welterweights.
Grants work last night showed that he
has become good worker. and he was on
the aggressive at almost every stage Of the
game. Haines depended to a great extent
on his strength and weight. but they were
of no avail. The first fall was gained by
Grant. in twenty-one minutes and thirty
seconds. The next turn was shorter, Grant
pinning Haines' shoulders to the mat in

There were three preliminary bouts before
the star attraction. The first was between
Samasney of the Naval Museum and Har-

gained two falls In nine minutes and fifteen

MISS ADAIR PLAYS WELL.
Champion Golfer Travis in Three-Ball
Match With England's Expert.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
GARDEN CITY. L. l., October 23.-About
400 of the best-known golfers in the east
yesterday afternoon watched a three-ball
match at the Garden City Clubs course
between Miss Rhona Adair, woman cham
pion of Great Britain Walter J. Travis, for
the third time amateur champion of the
United States, and Devereux Emmett.
Travis played agaihst the best ball of the
other two and won by i up on the home
green. Emmett is player of more expert
ence than ability. being selected for per-
sonal reasons. Miss Frances Griscom was
to have made it a foursome. but although
she was present, did not play, remarking
that she was too much off her game. Ira
Wis made a stroke score of 80, an excellent
showing, for there was some wind. Miss
Adair required 81, or 80 If a disputed stroke
on the tenth hole is not deducted. The best
ball of Adair and Emmett was 81. ConSid-
ering that ii is Travis home course, that
Miss Adair had never seen it before and
that she could not be expected to equal
man on distance. her performance was sat
isfying. She Numbered several times and
erred more than once from Cyerconfdence
but in spite of gathering darkness put UP
a consistent game to the end. Both Miss
Adair and Travis had an oVerweaning fond
ness for sand bunkers. She got into one
on the third hole, after being short on her
first, which cost her the hole in spite of
the fact that Travis did not hole fine, long
putt that trimmed. Miss Adair made mess
of the fifth hole, getting into bunker and
playing back, against advice. only to land
again in the same trap. This hole cost her
$ strokes against bogy 4. To even things
up, Travis got into bunkers twice on the
next, hut it cost him only a stroke, al
though that lost the hole. Travis and
Adair were equally off on direction and
easy putting on the sixth hole. so 1t was
halved. Both were in the rough on the
seventh, and Travis ball jumped the cup,
but he won the hole. q to l. On the eighth
Travis again got into a sandy waste, but
would have taken it had not Miss Adair
halved by a fine putt. On the tenth Miss
Adair virtually missed a putt by sheer care
lessness, but it was allowed her after some
discussion. Miss Adair did not do as well
coming back as in going out. She missed
three or four puts without good excuse,
and one of her long runs jumped the cup.
On the fifteenth, however, she holed su-
perb putt. Travis long putt on the elev-
enth was Justify applauded. Both over
played several times and explored the tall
grass, yet Travis came in with SO. beating
the bogy by four strokes Summary:

BRIGHTON RACES.
Several of the Finishes Were of the
Exciting Sort.

In two races at Brighton Beach yesterday
the winner had not more than twelve inches
to spare at the end. and in the race award
ed to Mabel Richardson even less than that
was the margin. In both cases the winners
were on the outside. or near the public, and
there was no disapproval expressed by In
terested bettors when the numbers were
displayed.
For nearly q furlong Redfern and Odom
had desperate struggle for first honorS,
and while Caughnawaga. Odom's mount, re-
sponded gamely as usual. he lost by the
narroweSt possible margin to Mabel Rich
ardson. The race was true run one Ear

could. which was for about seven furlongS.
Ma bel Richardson was forced to make her
run around the turn. and to win under the
circumstances stamped her performance as
excellent
Though Sweet Gretchen was never better,
to judge from her warm-up. she could finish
no better than third in the Winged Foot
handicap at six furlongs. This also was
stirring struggle. Juvenal Maxim, now
owned by Frank Farrell. and ridden by Full
Ter. led to almost the last stride when Hell
10, under the whip. got up in time to win by
short head HellOs victory all the
more credtable from the fact that about
three furlongs from home he was cut off,
and in checking his stride O'Neill broke a
part of the colts bride.
Fuller had the mount on David Gideons
Blytheness in the last race. and by dint of
his clever nursing he got that colt home

would have won at nine furlongs. Past

Redfern began the day we'll by winning
the first event Dinple.. but she was
lucky in avoiding foul as she endeav-
ored to swerve in the last furlopg. The 20
to shot, Nirkayuna. looked very dangerous
| at the head of the stretch. where she was
bumped. Another long shot. Escobar, with
| a stable boy up. was a close fourth If
however. Wizard had not been practically
left at the post he would have won.
1t was surprising to see the steeplechase
course in good enough condition to permit
the running of race over it, and it was
really well contested. Sam Honey fell at
the jump opposite the club house. but his
rider. Mara. sustained serious injury
The finish was between Gascar and Chara-
wind, the last named, splendidy ridden

thought he had no chance. he was
thought to be merely hurdle horse.
Edward Corrigan purchased Chara wind
after the race from William Lakeland at
price said to be 81 800.

West Point Lost a Good Man.

The West Point foot ball team suffered
a severe loss in the practice at home yes
terday, when Riley, the giant guard, tore
the ligaments of his knee so he will prob
ably be out OF the game the remainder Of
the season. The blow is all the more severe
as Riley has been playing guard with muC n
improved form over last year. This loss
will be more to West Point than was
Boomers to Yale, since the supply of good
substitutes is limited. After kiley's in
jury the scrubs were able to carry the ball
down the field for touchdown against the
weakened regulars.
The cadets only hope now is that Yales
score may be kept within reasonable limits.

seemed as fresh and vigorous as at the
start.
The demonstration that greeted the new
worlds pacing champion he flashed UNI
der the wire was a memorable one. Horse
owners who stood about the track before
the starters stand had caught the time
with their own watches, and before the
official time was flashed out across the
track they set up a mighty shout and threw
hats and caps high into the air The shout
was caught up by the people in the grand
stand, the space before it and on the club
house grounds, and the victory of the new
pacing idol was proclaimed in a long,
hoarse roar that rose and fell and reached
it's climax in frenzy of noise as M. c. Nc
Henry, the driver, pulled up before the
judges stand and DOTTED his hat in ac-
acknowledgement of the reclamation.
The trial was made with two runners to
set the pace, the sulky preceding the PAGER
carrying a canvas strip between the wheels.
The quarter was reached in - seconds, the
half in IS seconds and the three-quarter
pole in 1.21H. AS the horses swung into the
stretch Dan Patch was pushing the forward
runner so closely that scarcely hands

the back of the driver in the forward sulky.

Tickets Will Be Scarce.

Commander William F. Halsey secretary
of the executive committee Of the Navy
Athletic Association at Annapolis, has re-
ceived a statement of the arrangement or
tickets for the West Point-Annapolis game,
and it indicates that the general public can
expect very few complimentaries.
The army and navy are each allotted g, l''3
seats. against 5000 last year. and the navy
has a following larger than that whose de-
mand for tickets must be met. There are
80 more mdshipmen than last year and an
increased humber of members Of the Navy
Athletic Association.
AS these two bodies bear all the expenses
of athletics in the academy, they get the
first supply.
The navy contingent will be in the north
stand, and that of the army in the south
stand. The University of Pennsylvania
seats will be on parts of all the stands. The
President and other notable persons are ex-
pected to attend.

Team Standing.

Team scores in the league are consider

their maiden offense. With these condi-
items taken into consideration the scores
are quite creditable, many of the tota's
being over 800 or very close to that marx,
and the majority of the teams having a
team average of over 700.
Northern leads, with 10 average:
Southern second with 763, but to the East
