Match for Griscom Cup Played
in a Downpour at St.
Martins.

PHILADELPHIA, June I'm the first
OF the tricity matches for the Griscom
cup between Boston and New York at the
Philadelphia Cricket Club yesterday the
fair contestants played under the most
miserable conditions Immediately after
the last pair had started on their journey
in the singles the heaviest and most pro-
longed storm of the season so far broke
over the course, and as players are not
permitted to seek shelter their plight
when they reached the clubhouse was
pitiable. All displayed the greatest
pluck and nerve, however. and despite
their experience of the morning they con-
tinued play in the foursomes in the after
noon.
The Boston women Won the match
hands down by fourteen matches to
seven. They triumphed in eleven single
matches and in three foursomes. The
showing made by the New York women
can be in a great measure attributed to
the fact that they were unfamiliar with
the course. Miss G. NJ. Bishop alone hav
ing played in the eastern championship
on the three previous days. In any event,
1t Is practically certain that the Boston
women would have won, but had the
the course two or three times previous
to the match they would undoubtedly
have done considerably better. The fact
that they lost eleven singles matches In
the morning and split even on the four
somes proves that the little knowledge
they had gained of the course in the
morning was of immense benefit to them.
The matches in the singles that attract
ed the most interest were between Mrs.
G. w. Roope. the Massachusetts, cham
pion, and Mrs. Victor NJ. Earle, the
metropolitan champion: Miss Harriet s.
Curtis and Miss G. NJ. Bishop, two for
mer national champions. The experience
gained by Mrs Roope in the eastern
championship proved of immense service
to her, and she defeated her opponent
somewhat easily. up and to play. TAX
ing the conditions into consideration, both
played remarkably good golf and the
fact that both took forty-nine strokes for
the first nine holes speaks volumes. Mrs.
Roope was only one up at the turn, but
on the homestretch Mrs.. Earle fell off
in her play and got seven on the eleventh.
fourteenth and fifteenth holes. On the
other hand, Mrs. Roope played just as
steadily as on the first nine holes and
always had the match well in hand after
the turn.

day at the bat getting three hits out OF

exceptionally good work. considering the

ISOLATION between Andrews and Seatons

Todays game between the Herald club

of the season. Manager Miller will more
than likely send Bernie Gallagher to the
mound, while Old Reliable Eddie Thomp-
son is booked to work for the newspaper

The addition of Bernie Gallagher to the
Park pitching staff gives that club about
the strongest in the league, as Manager
Miller already has Tim Chism under con-

Atlantic City won the team match with

The entry list was disappointing. only
thirty-five golfers starting. This is at
tributed to the fact that there are SO
many activities at other courses. Another
reason the list was kept down was be-
cause of the change in rules this year.
Last season any golfer identified with a
New Jersey club could participate in
these events This year. however. notices
were sent out stating that only residents
of the state could enter. and this barred
a good many Philadelphians who are
