FOURTEEN STARTERS IN
BRIGHTON HANDICAP

NEW YORK. July 13.-The Brighton
handicap at s25,GOO the companion stake
to the Brooklyn and Suburban. and the
richest of the three, will be run today at
Brighton Beach Fourteen horses have been
named as probable starters, and on paper
the race has every appearance Of being the
equal If not the superior Of any run this
year.
James R. Keene's Peter Pan. the biggest
money winner SO far this season and colt
which stands out as the probable champion
three-year- of the year. is named to
start and will probably go to the post
favorite in spite of the fact that he must
take up lis pounds and concede weight, &C
cordng to the scale, to every other horse
in the race.
Among the horses which will do battle
with Peter Pan are Montgomery. Nea!on
(the hero of the Suburban.. Dandelion,
Tokalon, Cottontown, McCarter and Foun-
tainblue.
The race, like the Brooklyn and the Sub
urban, is at mile and quarter. The track
is SO fast that it is a bare possibility that
Broomstick's American record Of 2.02 4-5
for the distance may be broken. Broom
stick made this mark in beating Irish Lad
a head for the same stake in 1904.

CLEVELAND ANGLING FOR TROUT

OSWEGO. y. Y. July 13.-Not far from

Grover Cleveland is recuperating from his
recent illness al Redfield among the foot

estate. which is one OF the most extensive
in this part of the state.
. Mr.. Cleveland arrived Thursday making
the journey from New York in an automo-

the effects of Mr.. Clevcland's recent Illness
are apparent. his love of angling has by

In anticipation Of Mr.. CleVelanl's visit

SEMI-FINALS AT CLEVELAND
TRAVERS AND GRAHAM SURVIVE
FROM DAYS PLAY.
Many Surprises on the Course of the
Euclid Country Club - Travis
Followed by Hoodoo.

CLEVELAND. July 13-Jerome D.
Travers Of Montclair and Archie Graham
of the North Jersey Country Club quail
fled for the final round in the national golf
championship tournament on the links Of
the Euclid Club here yesterday afternoon.
Travers reached the final round because
he played brilliantly throughout the day,
defeating in turn Warren K. Wood. one
OF the western favorites, and Eben NJ.
Byers the title holder. Graham has sue
ceeded In getting his name inscribed on
the tablet Of fame at the expense Of w.
T. West Of Princeton and w. c. Fownes,
5r. Of Oakmont, after the latter had de-
feated the favorfte, Walter j. Travis, in
match carried to the twentieth green.
Taken all in all. it was a day of sur
prises almost pronounced as Thursday.
Those who were disposed to wager per-
sisted in making Walter J. Travis the
favorite. In the pools sold after the quail
flying round Wednesday night the Garden
City veterans name brought the highest
prices despite the fact that he has not won
the title since 1893
The Travers-Byers contest resulted in
one of the worst beatings ever received
by the Allegheny man since he has been
prominent as a golfer. Travers won by
q up and to play. The match was markell
by the high-class work of Travers and
the poor work OF ByerS.
GRAHAM had an Unexpectedly easy vic
tory over Fownes. The former played in
his best form throughout the match. max
ing few mistakes. He went out in 81, and
the six holes played on the in journey in
25. bogie figures. Fownes, the con-
trary, showed a tendency to get off the
course on his drives. flubbed several ap-
proaches and failed to take advantage of
the few mistakes Graham made.
The Pittsburg hoodoo, which has fol-
lowed Travis for the last five years, seems
to remain unbroken. 1t in the
tional championship tournament that Byers
first defeated the Garden City veteran at
Glenview back in 1902. Two years later
at Baltusrol Travis lost to George Orms
ton. another Pttsburg man. while the next
year at Wheaton the veteran lost to
Fownes. in a match that was carried to
the nineteenth green.
A year ago. at Englewood Byers defeated
Travis again. and yesterday it was Fowncs
turn. 1t will be seen by this that out of
the last five national championships
Pittsburg golfer has accounted for the
downfall of Travis in all save one.
The Travers- Wood match was the best
of the morning from golfing standpoint
The high quality of the Play may be appre-
ciated when the medal scores are exam
ined, Wood making eighteen holes in sew
enty-three strokes, and then being beaten.
Travers was only one stroke over this,
but. this apparent anomaly was the result
Of a for Travers on the fifth hoe.
The summary follows:

TREASURY'S CAREER CHECKED
LEADERS IN DEPARTMENTAL
LEAGUE DEFEATED.
Close and Exciting Game Witnessed
by a Throng Of 5000 on
the White Lot.
Standing Of the Clubs.

Post Office. 2: Treasury. 1.
Before an excited crowd Of over 5000 de-
partment fans. by far the largest turnout
OF the season, Post Office yesterday put a
now possible contender for the 1907 cham
pionship. When Herring clapped his mitt
on Fulcher's high foul in the final session
that spelled more base ball for the hungry
fans. the roar that went up told Of popu-
lar victory.
Haring and Herring was the principal
route to the leaders downfall. Johnny
never pitched better ball in his life. For
six innings Treasury did not make a hit.
and got only four men on first. Hestor in
the second. on Fenton's tumble: Fulcher in
the fourth, on pass after two were down:
Hestor again in the fifth, by being hit. and
Mccarthy on q pass in the sixth. Both
bases on balls were after two men were
down.
Donaldson was also in his best form. and
would have won easily any ordinary game.
Not one Of the three runs was earned, and
with all due credit to Haring. the Mail
Handlers did not win the game alone on
his great work in the box. 1t was a combi-
nation of an error, slow thinking and a
long shot that really won out.
While Treasury was going down. mostly
from Haring to Herring. McGrath counted
the first run. He hit to lett. and Hestor
threw into the crowd back Of first. Nc
off his favorite stunt of beating out an in
field hit. and while the Treasury infielders
were studying the play over. McGrath beat
it for the plate from third before Gertman
could recover from his amazenent and get
the ball to the plate
The run that won the game in the third
was the result of the slow operation OF
Bielash's think tank After Haring and
dumped the ball toward first. ONeill over
ran the sphere in trying to pick it up. and
Orrison stopped running, thinking 1t was
foul. Donaldson then picked the ball up
dug for first. reaching there safely. Her
ring then drove the ball to Bielaski, who
fumbled 1t. and Orrison. who had stolen
second, reached third. and while Blslaski
third, hesitated and then set sail for home.
Bielaski still froze on to the ball until too
late to head off Orrison at the plate.
Lord scored Treasury's lone tally In the
scored on Fenton's bad throw to first. Bic
laski flew out to Bradley. who doubled
up Fulcher at third, and Hestor skied to
Bacon.
The great playing Of both cat eate e. s was
two men trying to steal second and mapped
Torney trying for third.
O'Neill got two trying to pilfer in the
second inning. and two ON more IN the seventh:
catch of Bradley's high foul, getting the
ball next to the backstop.
McGrath was the only man to get more
1t was taking chances that won the
game. Had it lost it would have been
dumb work, but McGrath and Orr'son got
by with It, and it was brilliant and dar-
