after warming the bench for some time,

CHICAGO, Ill. July 17.-Warren K.
Wood OF the Homewood Golf Club de-
feated Mason B. Phelps. the western
champion, 1 up In a thirty-six-hole final
match here today for the Glenview
trophy.
Sensational plays marked the entire
journey. Wood won the match from
Phelps by Phelps playing the wrong ball
on the last hole, the match being square
at the seventeenth hole of the afternoon
play. Phelps won this hole.
On the eighteenth hole Phelps drove
into the bushes. Then he played three
shots with the wrong ball. One of the
gallery found the right ball. Phelps
then played this and won the hole. The
match would have been his had not Wood
protested. Tom Bendelow, the local ex-
pert, decided the play was contrary to
rules. He was upheld later by the ofh-
cial referees.
The Glenview cup now belongs to Wood
permanently. as this is the third time
he has won 1t.

With a little more stick work at op-

have copped the contest from Columbia
Tuesday. The Clubmen had eleven men
left on bases.
Mace, on the receiving end for the

when 1t comes to foot ball profits. The
CrimSon's gridiron receipts were $S2,546-

ran Harvard a fairly close second. with
Pennsylvania, Princeton and Cornell fol-

counts at the various universities:

In considering the disparity between the
figures of the different universities there
are several things to be noted. Harvard 8
profits for the fall of 1907 are much
greater than those Of Yale, and Yale had
by far the better team. Harvard. how
ever, had the advantage Of drawing upon
the city of Boston for her supporters. In
spite of her handicap of a smaller popu-
lation, the Hub city invariably turns out
bigger crowds than either New York or
Philadelphia. 1t Is so not only in foot
ball but other forms OF college athletics
as well. Princeton and Cornell are both
at disadvantage in this respect, for
they are located far from big cities.
In the receipts given of Pennsylvania
and Cornell IL should be explained that
the Cornell receipts represent the total
receipts from all games, while the Penn
sylvanii figures are the approximate re-
ceiptS alter deducting the shares of Wis.,
iting teams. But as Cornell has no big
games at home and derives most of her
receipts from the Thanksgiving day game
with Pennsylvania, this has little effect
on the table given above.
Undoubtedly the most interesting por-
tion of this table is the column OF ex-
penses. While Harvard's receipts and
profits are the largest, her expenses are
the smallest. 1t cost Harvard some $1,000
less to maintain her team than 1T did
Yale This is explained in part by the
fact that Yale invariably spends more
money for the maintenance OF her ath-
letic teams than do her rivals. Another
item which should be considered is that
for the period given Joshua Crane was
the Harvard coach. and he refused to ac-
cept pay for his services
1t cost Pennsylvania within few dol
lars of as much to maintain her team as
it did Yale. Both Princeton and Cornell
kept close to the twenty y-one-thousand-
dollar mark, and If Harvard had had her
usual coaching expenses both the Tigers
and Ithacans would have kept their ex-
penses below that Of the Crimson.
Statement of Yale's Expenses.
According to Yale's financial statement,
the expenses charged to foot ball were
S46, ,2234.36, but as this statement contains
an item of more than $4,000 for struc-
lures. etc. this should be deducted IL 1t
is desired to give an exact statement of
what the foot ball team cost Yale As
