Black Plays a Great
Game Of Golf

The chief topic of conversation in
golf circles during the week has been
the remarkable exhibition given by
James Black. late of Scotland, and c.
D. Whyte Of the Presidio golf club.
Black. who is a recent arrival from
Scotland, has since turned professional,
and judging by his game Sunday the
local pros" viii be hard pressed to
retain their honors. 1t is more than
likely that Black viii be matched with
one Of the crack professionals of the
clubs in the bay counties.
Black came here heralded as a Won
der and he certainly lived up to his
reputation last Sunday. He showed
his wonderful ability right at the out
set. when he negotiated the first IS
holes in y. The bogey for the Preside
course is IS.
While Blacks debut proved a most
ausplcious one, he did not by any means
the cleverest amateur in the city
played almost as sensational a game
as did the professional. Whyte made
his TWO rounds in 75 each, giving him
a medal score for the SO holes of $50,
which score Black beat by only one
point.
The second half of the match will be
played on the Claremont country club
course, across the bay, today. The same
two teams will meet, and the trans
bay experts viii be given an opportu-
nifty to see the clever professional in
action.

CHICAGO TIES CORNELL
Eastern Team Outweighs and
OutphyS WeSternerS

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Chicago fought
an even battle with Cornell today, the
score being to 6 at the end of the
greatest game played in the west this
season. That Chicago was fortunate to
tie its opponents in scoring was the
opinion even of the most enthusiastic
admirers of Stages athletes.
Outweighed and outplayed on straight
football in the first half, Chicago gave
an exhibition of speed and involved
play in the second that bewildered the
Ithacans and sent the ball across the
Cornell goal. A triple pass negotiated
by Steffen, Page and Schommer five
minutes before the close of the play
tied the score and sent the Chicago en-
thusiasts into a frenzy. A heavy snow
fall coming in the second half,
