the first game by score OF f3 to 2 with

OF the second game was l to o.
CaeSbro did strong work for three in

only one of the locals reached first base
getting there on a base on balls. But in the
fourth Boston began batting spell that
lasted for the remainder of the game
Garrison, who went to pitch in the fifth
was both wild and ineffective. Two runs
were made off him as a starter and four
runs in the sixth inning and another in the
seventh. 1t was an easy one-sided win for
Boston.
"Cy' Young did not give a base on balls
in the second game. Young pitched against
Powell. The game was called at the end
of the seventh inning ON account of dark

New York had plenty of chances to score
in the early innings. They had two men
on bases and but one out In each of the
first two innings, but failed to score. Three
times in the game the first man to bat
reached his base safely. He got no further.

feat never accomplished before In this
country at the one tournament. Jerome
Dunston Travers won the first cup at the
Nassau Country Club open tournament In
a most sensational finish He beat Doug
las by 2 and 1 in the semi-f1nal. but the
youngster had q far harder task with the
British champion, for the match went to
the third extra hole. Then Travers. with
Travis dead for a 4, ran down a fifteen foot

Nassau, his victims there including John

Travis held his own his friends thought
it would be on the better long game. In
this they were mistaken, for Travis held
him fairly in the driving and on the
twelfth and fifteenth had the longer dis
lance, so that putting really was the de-
cisive factor in the match. 1t was most
sensational match on the greens.
Having the first in 4, Travis began the
phenomenal work by getting to the green

and Miss Louisa A. Wells were tied at
Brookline; and last year at Wheaton. a
ten stroke harder course, was 81 by Mrs.

All three will start today and eighty
one more are eligible. The Merton round Of
1852 yards is not as hard to play as either
Brookline or Wheaton. and, with dry turf
and pleasant weather, a new qualifying
round record may with reason be expected
possibly an IS. The four lowest scores in
the qualifying round of Mrs. Griscom's in

Rhona Adair 81; Mrs. Charles T. Stout, 81 !:

would have been well beaten as the players
became familiar with the course. Now,

order and familiar one to the leading
players. 1T is only fair to expect some better
scores. An average of IS as the limit of
golf for our women, indeed, may be broken
this week.
The first pair. to be up at 10 o'clock sharp
was Miss Page Schwarzwalder of Brook

lost to Miss Louisa A. Wells in the fret

Hudson. When he made his appearance on
the track to go against time he was greeted
by ten thousand people. After scoring
three times, Mcdonald nodded for the word
and the great gelding swept by the stand
and passed the quarter pole In 29A seconds.
He was simply flying as he passed the half
in soy seconds, and the crowd sent up a
cheer that could have been heard for a
mile.
Major Delmar showed no let-up In his
speed and reached the three-quarters in
1:2S, going from the half to the three-quar-
tiers in 29A seconds. When the horse
reached the stretch the big crowd realized
that with no unforeseen accident he would

drive off on both sides was good for all
players, and indications were that a
strong game would be put up by the
Washington club, which has heretofore

WOMEN GOLFERS.
Boston Beat Philadelphia in Inter City
Match

The Boston women beat the Philadelphia
women Saturday at Wissahickon. Pa. in
the finals of the annual intercity match for
the Griscom cup. a perpetual trophy played
for annually by the Boston, New York and
Philadelphia women. This is the third year
in succession that the trophy has been
won by the Boston women. Boston is so
exceptionally strong that it is thought it
could defeat team made up from the very
best players in the country.
The narrow course of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club at Wissa hickon puzzled the
Boston women considerably on the first
nine holes, and they were in the lead by
up at the turn, but they finished very
strong on the last nine holes and won by
up, the score being 16 to 8.
Miss Elizabeth Porter. Oakley Country
Club. played a fine uphill game. She was
6 down at the turn to Mrs Ormsby Nc
Cannon, but she made a grand finish,
winning the last eight holes and losing
only the last match by a single point.
