Albert SeckeI and R. A. Gard
ner Win Their Matches in
Play for Intercollegiate Title.

NEW YORK, September with sew

of the teeing grounds and many yards
thereby added to the length of the
course, the qualifiers in the Intercollegi-
ate Golf Association individual champion
ship found low scoring much more dl..i-
cult at Baltusrol yesterday than at any
other stage of the tournament. The first
and second rounds occupied the attention
yesterday, so that only four players are
now left to continue the fight. They are
Robert A. Gardner. Yale: George Stanley.
Yale: Albert Seckel. Princeton. and Harry
Hepburn. University of Pennsylvania.
With Messrs Gardner and Seckel in
opposite sides of the bracket there is a
prospect of a rousing finish. but unless
Mr.. Hepburn has gone long way back
the Princeton leader will have to give
much better display than he did yester-
day II he means to reach the last round.
Those who had in mind Mr.. Seekers
form when he won the western cham
pionship were at loss to account for
his lapse yesterday afternoon. when. after
he allowed the latter to carry the game
to the seventeenth hole Even in the
earlier round against A. G. Kay, Prince
ton. Mr.. Seckel did not strike his form
this match by up and 2 to play.
The most remarkable match of all was
that In which H. B. Lee of Yale began
by taking the first six holes from Mr..
Stanley and then lost on the nineteenth
green. Only four holes in the match We're

to begin at , o'clock. and will be played
by the Maryland Athletic Club and Rich

A dispatch from Richmond states that

local club guessing all through the game
last Monday. when he allowed it but
four scattered hits, it is said by the
Richmond management will be pitched
in both games, but that is hard

mond has on its staff a man by the name
Of Strain, who early this week held the
Petersburg team, champions of the Nir
gina State League. to six hits. 1t is
more than probable that he will be pitch
ed in the second game.
While there has been considerable
leaning toward Boteler to start the game
in the box for the local team, 1t is likely
that Ffenle will be the man to be depend
ed on. That Boteler is n good pitcher
none Will deny, but that he lacks the ex-
perienoe that Fienle has would cause
1t to seem that the Georgetown man will
be gwen the preference. Boteler might
not be enarly a s affective pitcher in
Richmond as he would be in Washington.
and that risk will probably cause him
not to be selected to do duty on the
mound.
Accompanying the team which left to-
day at noon on special car, were many
of the local fans and those connected
with the team and amateur commission.

national. Some of the methods that are
being used are contemplate.
Laurier has been in power longer than
any other prime minister Canada has
known, and has increased his strength In
the house of commons every time he has
gone before the people. In 1885, when ne
was first elected. he had only Id liberal
members in his support, as against l3I
In the election of 1908. The opposition
numbered IS in 1896 and So I'm 1905. He
has been in power fifteen years. No
other prime minister served more than
six years, and although his long service
has naturally decreased the number of
his supporters by the inevitable disap-
pointments and differences Of political
life, he has made friends of the enemy
in sufficient numbers to offset all disaf-
fections.
His personal following has been affect
ed more seriously by the reciprocity ar
rangement than by anything else that
has ever occurred. Several OF the most
able and active of his former supporters
do not approve of the arrangement ana
this has been convenient time Tor sew
eral sore heads to leave the liberal camp
and go over to the opposition. There mas
been a sufficient change to insure them
good company
The English residents of Canada. the
banking, manufacturing and business in
terests many of whom have been sup
porters of the liberal party up to now and
are opposed to reciprocity, and will not
support him in this campaign. Ii Is "a
curious fact that while the habitants
of Quebec complain that IIaurier IS TOO
much of an EngiiShman. the English ele-
ment-which is particularly strong in On
tario-accuses him of trying to rob the
mother country of its most promising
child Many of them sincerely believe
that the present arrangement Is an in
territorial step toward annexation.
The conservative leaders. OF course.
make a great point of the claim that the
United States is trying 10 ALLEVIATE Can
ada from the mother country. They see
all kinds of signs and make all kinds Of
interpretations of the speeches of Presi-
dent Taft and others on the reciprocity
question Some Of the arguments ad-
The most preposterous assertion, which
is reiterated daily in respectable newspa-
pers, is that President Taft is sending
over large sums of money to buy votes
for Laurier.
In all Canadian cities American money
passes current and. ] believe, is legal
tender by act of parliament: but in the
back districts discount is demanded.
One of the liberal leaders. who has just
returned from a campaign tour in the In
terror tells me that notorious ola
rounder of a politician called him one
side and inquired II 1t was true that
funds were expected from the United
States to help out the liberal cause. My
friend assured him that the report to
which he alluded was impossible and alb

been thought OF.

reply, but. Jim. you can tell Taft that
