ENGLAND'S GOLF CHAMPION.
Youngster From St. Andrews Won
Amateur Honors.

The amateur golf championship meeting,
which has been notable for the overthrow
of favorites and former title holders. was
brought to close at Prestwick. England
yesterday, when A G. Barry of st. An
drews University beat Osmond Scott of the
Royal North Devon Club by up and 2 to
play.
Mr.. Barry Is the youngest player who
ever secured the amateur championship,
being barely twenty years of age Although
learning his golf at st. Andrews. he was
born in Cornwall of English parentage He
drives with a very full swing. and for one
of his years he has rare confidence.
The final was contested in a heavy rain,
which rendered the greens very heavy, and
the ball needed hitting with the utmost
firmneSs. Mr.. Barry did this but Mr. Scott
was often short, and his failure to take
chances on the green brought about his
defeat.
Mr.. Scott has a particularly pretty style
and plays a plucky uphill game He
started badly in most of his matches this
!: WSek. but finished strongly and won. Yes
terday. however, provided an exception. for
he stood two down at the turn in the after
noon and could never afterward draw
level
A bad drive into the bunker at the
twelfth made his prospects very bad, still
he won the fourteenth. and If he could
only have secured the fifteenth, as at one
time he looked like doing the match might
have ended differently. However, after
reaching the green in two, he was ten
yards short with his runup, and, missing
his put. he could only halve the hole.
This incident practically settled the
match, and Mr.. Barry won the champion
ship, as already stated, on the sixteenth
green.

same conditions the Presidents cup.
which was won by Mr. Lafferty last week
after a very interesting series of matches.
In this competition, however, thirty-twO
PLAYERS are to qualify instead OF sixteen.
This kind of tournament Is becoming very
popular as 1t gives every one chance. An
Indifferent player with large handicap can
readily qualify, even though his gross score
is all to the bad. With handicap of
twenty-six strokes gross score Of 80 will
give a net score Of 70. which will probably
qualify the player. and he may be able to
play through several rounds. Scores must
be handed in by G o'clock.
In the Presidents competition last week
the finals were played by Mr.. Lafferty and
Mr.. King. and the former, who won In nine
teen holes. had to concede thirteen strokes
to his opponent.
The first round for the prize offered by
the Siamese minister will be played We'd

COURAGEOUS CENTRALs.
High School Boys Went to Princeton
and Beat Freshmen,

The doughty team of ball players from
the Central High School journeyed to
Princeton yesterday and scalped the Prince
ton freshmen in whirlwind game, with
the score 6 to !.
Chief Logan Cunningham, favorite
nephew of Gen. Black Jack" Logan, led
the warriors from the Central High School
and did the twirling. He was always the
master of the situation, and mixed up the
young Tigers with swift ones, shoots and
drops. When the smoke of battle had
cleared away "Cunny" had thirteen strike
outs to his credit and had made a hit, q
run and had pilfered second. He was as
his classmates expressed it, 1.-The cheese
There were others in the game, however
in fact all the boys played good ball, and
those who saw the game picked the Cen
trails for the high school championship.
Central did not score until the fourth
when 1t made two runs, and they repeated
the score in the following two innings
Princeton could do nothing with Cunning
hams benders. and scratched out but five
seven hits, but they came at opportune
times, and counted. 1t looked like a shut
out until the ninth inning, when Fish sent
a hot one to third that Kipp fumbled. and
two bases on balls. coupled with a fielder's
choice, tailed one for the freshmen. They
were lucky to escape a shut-out.
Preceding the game the Pittsburg Ma

evening to take fall out Of the team by
that name, but were sweetly surprised in
the last inning of what should have been
their game. It's the same old story, Ham,
NETT Buckley and that bunch Of rooters.
In the last inning with no one out, Ham,
NETT worked pass, Walker dumped the
ball down in front of the pan, the catcher
threw wild over first and Hammett romped
home.
The Bloomingdale team put up a fine ex-
hibftion of the national game, although
the Invincibies are not such slouches, and
slightly outplayed the losers.
Walker was slated to serve the hot
ones up to the plate. and pitched well for
four innings. when his arm. which is stilI

There is considerable local interest man
ifested in the six-round contest between
Battling Nelson and kid" Sullivan, the
lightweight champion of the District,
which will take place before the Eureka

evening. Nelson is known as one # the
most rugged boxers in the ring today and
TIE pace he sets is fast. He has shown
that in all his battles, and he goes right
along at the same clip from start to finish
That is exactly Sullivan's method so the
