WOMEN GOLFERS.
Down to Semi Finals for Western Golf
Championship.

After some of the most exciting matches
ever played in the western women's golf
championship at Exmoor, near Chicago
yesterday, the players entitled to appear
in the semi-fnals are: Miss Mabel His-
gins who is paired with Miss Elizabeth
Congdon and Miss Margaret Morris, who
will play with the champion, Miss Bessie
Anthony.
Yesterdays round accomplished the de-
feat of Miss Johnny Carpenter. who fell
before Miss Higgins, down; Miss Sallle
Ainslee, who lost to Miss Congdon' .
down; Mrs. A. 1. H. Brewer. who lost TO
Miss Morris, l down in twenty holes. ana
Miss Frances Everett, who was beaten
on the home green by Miss Anthony.
Water on the fair green did not deter
large and enthusiastic galleries from Iol-
lowing the principal matches. Men ana
women trudged through the wet grass
and little pools Of water eager to watch
every stroke of the big matches. Cham-
pion Miss Bess Anthony was drawn
against Miss Frances Everett a star gol1er
of the Exmoor club, and many thought
the time had come for. Miss Anthony to
relinquish her hold on championship hon
ors. This belief was strengthened when.
after a hard battle Of nine holes with Miss
Everett, Bessie was l down to Miss Ev-
erett.
Miss Anthony's victory was won by an
exceedingly narrow margin. 30 close that
many Of the more conservative devotees
of the game who followed the match ex-
pected to see Miss Everett win. With an
ordinary break of luck the contest would
undoubtedly have been at least an extra
hole match.
The other match that attracted an en-
thusiastic gallery was that between Miss
Johnny Carpenter of Westward-Ho and
Miss Mabel Higgins. the young long driver
from Midlothian. Only the hardest kind
of luck in missing two very short puts
kept Miss Higgins from being up at the
turn on Miss Carpenter. AS it was, they
were all square and honors were easy
Miss Higgins long game was not to be
excelled, while Miss Carpenter time and
again saved herself by some wonderful APP
proach shots.

Athletics at Columbian University are GO

to careful eye means something doing
among the students and faculty.
A substantial board Of directors of ath-

turned over to the new owners this month
an activity will show itself that will more

just beginning.
Energetic and systematic preparations

state health department today.
State Health Officer George R. Taber re-
ceived letter from a resident Of Linares
condition Of affairs at that place. The
writer says that the municipal authorities
OF Linares are taking no steps toward con-
trolling the epidemic
The yellow fever cases are not quaran-
tined, and the force Of men employed to
bury the victims is permitted to come into
close contact with the people Of the town.
The town has a population Of about 1900
people and about one-half Of this number
have either died from the disease or have
fed to other places to escape It,
The city Jail is reeking in filth and the
sick prisoners are forced to lie on the damp
earth floor Of the cells. The average daily
number Of deaths from the disease at this
time Is about eight.
1t Is stated that yellow fever has spread
during the past few days to Montemorelos
and Teran, which are situated close to
Monterey, and 1t now exists in every town
and village between Monterey and Tampico,
on the gulf division Of the Mexican Central
railroad.

reason why his nine fails to do better work

conclusion and, by the way. 1t is not any
too complimentary to the leader Of the reds.
1.-THE reds" said Selee, simply have a good
hitting team. and were going particularly
good when against u.s." Close observers Of
the reds are inclined to the thought that
Selee is not so far wrong in his estimate Of
the club. Most persons watching base ball
think that the Cincinnati nine should do
better There Is a fault somewhere.

CARELESS AUTO DRIVERS.
Accidents Generally Due to Neglect OF
Tires

Two phases Of careless management, ac-
cordng to expert automobiles, were re-
sponsible for the fatal accidents Of Wed
nesday, one on the Crosse Point track at
Detroit and the other at the GAINESVILLE
Ohio, fair grounds. One phase Is that Of
allowing spectators to hang over the fence
that incloses the track while automobiles
are running at high speed. and the other is
that Of racing men neglecting, in the ex-
citement of many races, properly to exam
Inc their tires and replace them with new
ones when they show sufficient wear.
In both cases the accidents Of Wednes-
day were due to the bursting of q front tire.
At Detroit Oldfield was delayed at the
start in the ten-mile race and was going
at a mile minute to catch up with Cum
bingham, when his tire burst and the car
went ricocheting through the fence and
grounds for fifty feet. That Frank Shearer
was the only spectator killed is due largely
to the fact that Oldfeld did not for an in
slant lose his presence of mind, but after
setting the steering wheel saved himself
by falling backward on the fiat Of the car.
The fact that the tire burst in the seventh
mile indicates that 1t had been much worn
by previous races and needed replacing by
a new one before Oldfield started in the
fatal contest. 1t Is feared that the car.
which is the one used by Percy Owen in
the international race in Ireland, cannot be
repaired.
al lHo AducSNlllo 1dlI, WucIo lllc RACING
car of Earl Kiser, the former bicycle racer
known as the Dayton Dumping" bolted
from the track and killed John Gooden, a
workman. and injured six others, besides
leaving Kiser with broken ankle, the
cause was again an overworn front tire
that burst. In both cases 1t is reported
that the men killed were at the fence.
AS a result of the fatalities a rule will
probably be made at the Empire track in
New York city and at others that specta-
tors must keep away from the fence. The
racing men also will probably take warn
ing and replace their tires oftener, even If
1t Is very expensive.
When cars are running at the speed now
being attained the tires are actually burned
through and give out very quickly. How
much they wear is indicated by the fact
that Barney Oldheld has said that he
would not attempt to run for the fifty-mile
record because he did not believe there are
any tires made that would last the distance
at top speed. He said the only way to get
that record would be to go half the distance
in one car and change to another while
they were in motion.

FIERCE MILL AF-BosToN.
Forbes Knocked Out McFadden in
Tenth Round.

Harry Forbes Of Chicago the ex-bantam-
weight champion. knocked out Kid McFad-
den Of San Francisco in the tenth round of
their fight before the TamIpany A. A.. Bos-
ton, last night. 1t was good fight, but
Forbes had to force matters all the way
through 1t was seen early that he would
be the winner
McFadden put up the gamest kind Of a
battle. He slipped to the floor repeatedly
from weakness. In the last round McFadden
was knocked down twice before Forbes was
able to send him to the floor for good The
men met at 124 pounds.
After some wrangling the men got 20
work. Forbes was lightning on his feet and
reached the Frisco lads jaw and wind
with hard blows In the first round. They
mixed 1t hard at the start Of the second
round. and Forbes was bleeding profusely
at the mouth.
The third round opened fast After a hard
exchange of head blows. McFaddcn slipped
to the floor, but jumped up and bea- a
fierce tattoo on the Chicago mans stomach.
Forbes had the better Of 1t all through
the fourth round. during which there were
two furious mix-ups The fifth round
opened with hot exchange Of lefts and
rights on the head. McFadden rushed in
blindly and slipped to the floor. He jumped
up and rushed again. but did no damage.
McFadden started the sixth with a rush
and then mixed 1t up. Forbes landed hard
several times in succession and McFadden
again went to the floor. He jumped up
quickly and made rush after rush, till
Forbes stopped him with a terrific left to
the face.
The Frisco" man was game in the sew
enth round. He managed to stay on his
feet although receiving terrific punishment.
McFadden was very weak In the next
round. and again slipped to the floor, after
making a hard swing.
Forbes started in to end matters in the
ninth. He rushed In with hard left to
the face. and followed 1t with a fusillade
OF head blows. McFadden fought back
last the round out.
They mixed it up fiercely from the start OF
the tenth round. A left to the face sent
McFadden to the floor for count Of seven.
Then he Jumped to his feet, only to be sent
to the floor again by a terrific left to the
Jaw and right to the stomach. Amid the
widest kind of cheering. hs feebly rose
again and raised his hands to defend HIM
self. Forbes sent him down for the last
time with a perfect fusillade Of lefts and
rights.
