GREAT GOLF BY
BALL AT MT. AIRY

PHILADELPHIA, September 15.-Sur-
prising golf. both in the matter Of the
quality of play an dthe results achieved,
marked yesterdays matches in the contest
for the fourth annual open championship
tournament of the Golf Association of
Philadelphia. Several enthusiasts from
different clubs interested in the work of
the pros" were on hand at the links Of
the Mount Airy Country Club. and they
were we'll rewarded with some truly in
teresting matches. The days play saw
the passing away of DR.. Simon Carr, the
only amateur to try conclusions with the
professionals, and Jimmy Campbell. the
home professional, who won the title last
year.
Dr. Carr was opposed by Donald Ball
Of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, and al
though beaten he was far from being dis
graced. inasmuch as he carried his re-
doubtable opponent to the twenty-first hole
before going down to defeat. The Mount
Airy professional in the meantime had dis
posed of James Govan of Huntingdon VAL
ley, and this brought him against Ball in
the semi-final round. This, Of course. was
the star match of the day, and the con-
test had features which stamped 1T as be-
ing peculiarly unique.
Campbell won the first hole, but Ball
took the next three with a succession of
IS, and, winning the fifth was up. Not
withstanding this tremendous advantage
the home golfer had squared matters at
the ninth and halved holes followed for
the next six holes. 1t was at the sixteenth
hole that the fortunes of the day went
against Campbell He putted for the hole
269 yards, for 3, but missed 1t, and, TAX
ing two more. lost the hole. As. He rim
med the cup at the next hole for 3, and
this would have squared the match.
half resulted, however, and Ball gave
him no chance on the home hole, the Phil
adelphia Cricket Club man thus winning
by a single hole. The absolute cards for
this match follow:

Oh. sweet is the air
In the Oewy dawn
That floats from the orange blooms
Over the lawn,
And sweet are the notes
That the soft breeze brings
From the feathery pines
Where the Whippoor-will sings
He sings in the eve
When the shadows fall
He sings all night,
Call answering call.
He sings in the dawn,
The plaintive note rings
Full and sweet from the pines
Where the Whip-pOOr-will sings.
It is sad as life,
Yet full as is JOY,
Tender as love is,
Sweet without clog.
Oh. why not a song,
Whatever life brings,
Like that from the pines
Where the Whip-poor.will sings.

were brought out when Alma Ross
swore that Augustus Hartje and Jose
phins Wright frequently met at her
house, that the Wright woman brought
him there and introduced him and said
that the house at which she had been
living was too public and too close to
the Hartje warehouse. The Ross wo-
man said that Hartje paid Josephine's
room rent thereafter. As the Ross
woman pointed out Hartje In the
courtroom, Hartje smiled Hartje sew
days ago swore he did not know jose.
phine Wright and never visited her.
The Wright woman swore that she
did not know Hartje. This was when
HartJe's attorneys were introducing
evidence in rebuttal.
The issue as to the disputed love
letters was defined when tom" Ma
dine, the coachman correspondent,
swore that the letters which the pri-
vate detectives said were taken from
his trunk never were in that re-
ceptacle.
Mrs. Hartje swore she wrote only
two letters to Susie Wagner and de-
MED telling Blanche Ashby what tes-
timony she should give. Detectives
H. G. staubb and John A. Anderson,
who testified that they took the ia
nous love letters from tom" Ma
dimes trunk, were arrested at the

felony and larceny. They were later
