GOLF.

The victory Of Miss Harriet S. Curtis IN the
Romens national golf championship was we'll
barned and deservedly won. After qualifying
with "a. seven strokes behind Miss Pauline
Eackay. which led the field, she defeated in turn
Mrs. c. H. Roope. Of Denver; Miss Fanny Os-
good, champion Of the Women's Eastern Golf
Association; Mrs. ". Feowes Morgan, the
tonqueror Of Miss Mackay, the title holder last
year Miss Anita Phipps, and finally Miss Mary
3. Adams one Of the best and most consistent
players in the country. Miss Adams worked her
way TO the final round by putting out Mrs r II
Barlow, Miss Frances G Griscom Mrs 6 F
tefferts and Mrs. g. c. Dutton. Miss Curtis
how holds the title for the first time although
Bhe has been prominent IN golfng circles for sew

Opponents had 10 play the odd; though the green
she kept well on the line, while on the greens her
putting was accurate and finished. The sur
prise OF the tournament was the defeat Of Miss
Mackay, last years champion by Mrs w Fell

the top class of players. Miss Mackay was
weak in what is usually her strongest point
putting-but Mrs. Morgan, who has heightened

played above her best form and made few mis-

AUTOMOBILES.

The action Of the American Automobile Asso-
eiRtion in taking such prompt measures looking
10 the construction Of private automobile road
way over which races could be held at little or
10 risk is cause for favorable comment. A R.
Pardington has made a positive announcement
that such course would be ready by next year.

little time In deciding a location and begin

that money for the venture viii not be lacking
ts q number Of enthusiasts have already ex-
pressed their willingness 10 subscribe What is
wanted is natural roadway 50 fenced in that
he onlookers cannot encroach on the course
The danger Of automobile racing lies not so
esuch in the driving at extreme speed as in the
necessity Of looking out for the safety of those
who seem TO have care for their own Auto
mobile road racing has done much for the In
tustry In this country and abroad and should be
continued with proper safeguards for the gem
sral sport loving public. which has taken such
, remarkable interest in the tests Of speed dar-
sng and endurance. E. R Thomas, in speaking
Of the benefits Of the Vanderbilt Gun race TO the
American Industry says:
II is not mere sport, but a contest betveen
natlons Tor supremacy in one of its most i'm
Portant industries; and as long the Wander
pilt Cup is held by foreign manufacturer and
the showing by American cars is conDararivelv

"hole manufacturing prestige Of America is
more or less injured believe the donor of the
cup builded wiser than he knew" for II has
tno viii continue to stimulate American mann
facturers until the cup is won permanently for
America II is conceded that the American cars
nlo not make very good showing in the cuD
race, yet the results are far from discoura ging
when IL is remembered that each Of the foreign
cars had been thoroughly tried out in three or
four bruising races and that the manufacturers
abroad have been IN the game for several years
while this is practically the first year that
Americans have entered into these Industrial
contests with cars strictly built on racing lines
The sole cause Of the failure OF real American
racing cars TO make a creditable showing was
due 10 the tire manufacturers. who Were able
New-York tribune., 1906-10-15

TO furnish only ordinary touring car, non-skld
tires for the race The tests OF the Glidden tour,
leisurely averaging from one hundred TO one
hundred and twenty miles a day and carefully
nursed and driven by experts. sink Into insig-
nificance by comparison with the tests OF the
awful motor vibrations and the terrible road
impact Of q car at a speed varying from fifty
10 ninety miles an hour for three hundred con-
tinuous miles. A tire blowing off at a speed of
seventy miles an hour and the Immediately
turning around in the road straining the brakes,
the wheels. the frame and the entire met ham
ism, and the terrible impact, concussion and
strain of enormous speed make a test that can
never be eoualled by motor car slowly running
through the worst roads; absolutely every
scientific principle of good and safe construc-
ton is not only involved but practically solved.
For ten years road racing has been conducted
abroad, and users more than manufacturers have
been benefited. for il has enabled manufacturers
to produce cars hundreds of pounds lighter;
motors gears. bearings etc. more highly ett1-
cient, well testing out tires by a better
test than is possible by any other method.

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The fight between the Chicago teams of the
American and National leagues for the worlds
championship has been ole of the most brilliant
and hard fought IN the history of the sport in
this country and reflects particular credit on
The Americans who had to take up battle with
their rivals after a long. hard struggle. to win
The pennant in their own league, right up to
The end OF the season. New baseball heroes
were made last week and the names Of Brown,
Walsh, Robe. Reulbach, Altrock. Jones and
Chance viii be household words among the fans
TOR months to come. The timely batting of Robe
was largely responsible for two victories for the
White Sox, while Walsh, Jones and Altrock did
their part In a way to command admiration.
Brown, OF the Nationals. has shown himself to
pc one OF the greatest pitchers in the country,
While Walsh, Of the Americans, must be ranked
even higher, perhaps he not only shut the
Cubs out on Thursday, but held them down 10
feven scattered hits Saturday. The success
pf the Chicago Americans right through the
Bon has been due to their pitchers and the re-
pnarkable team play developed by Jones, nat
pral born leader. they have been the weakest
batting team in the league. The luck of the
game has been with them all the year. and that
pane luck did not desert them last week for
bits seemed TO come just when hits were most

and as 6 team outshone the White Sox but for
Al that the games came down to a pitchers
battle, in which the latter team more than held
