Hunters physicians say a nights

him out of danger, but that an at
tempt on his part to play yesterday
afternoon would have resulted in a
sunstroke. Hunter finished the morn
ing round in 40-39-79. equal to his
average over the links, but he played
the last 9 holes palpably in distress.
Jerome Travers did not play up to
his form of Wednesday,, when he
scored successive holes under par.
He did the FIRST eighteen in 3s-41-79,
but did not do as well for the third

player, who was formerly Western

Schmidt won the first hole, lost the
third and was never on top again
though he squared the score at the
eleventh.
Evans then made thirteen tours an
a row, followed by a three, a five
and another three, and Schmidt's
prospects were ended. Evans in the
afternoon went out in thirty-five.
Hamilton Kerr, of Ekwanok, de-
feated Paul Hunter, Midlothian, one

Harry's style and his sticking, and

"Uff, uff." snuffed Tige when he
slid back into fourth place yester-
day. "Uf, uff." is Tiger for bum
dope"
This race for third honors is bound
to be a hummer, and the Tigers are
ON their mettle. If Providence will
only extend a little assistance today
we'll be right back on No. 3.
And Toronto fans are not quite so
blythe today. A game and a half lead
over the Hustlers, who are gaining
their second wind, does not sound so
very pleasing as a four-game ad-
vantage.
Rochester has the better pitching
staff. If the opposition can pile up
runs against Toronto the Leaves are
lost.
Kelley's elan wins most of it's
games by heavy cannonading.
.Jawn Camel has shifted his line
up, and the result has worked won-
ders-the Hustlers have been winning
in their old stride ever since.
Dolan, of the Champs, had a busy
day with four safe ones in four tries.
and he also figured in a double play.
Tim Jordan added to the notable
events of the day with his seven
teenth homer of the season.
Joe Flannery, the orange boy, who
played third for Mobile in the South

WHEATON, ILL.,, Sept. 6.-The final
ontest in the national amateur golf
championship tomorrow will be be-
tween the East and the West.
When play was started today in the
semi-finals Jerome Travers, of Upper
Montclair, N. j., was paired with
Hamilton Kerr. Of Ekwanok. VT, and
Charles Evans, jr., of Edgewater, ILL.,,
had for an opponent Warren X.
Wood, of Homewood, Ill.
The weather bureau does not
promise any relief from the heat
which has prevailed all week and
which has affected many players.
The match between Evans and
Wood is expected to be interesting,
as the men have met in competition
several times, and in nearly every In
stance the contest has been close.
When Evans defeated Wood recently
at Denver for the Western title the
contest was one of the closest ever
played in the Western Association.
Travers had some trouble in de-
feating Mason Phelps. and Kerr had
to play 81 holes to overcome Paul
Hunter. Evans had easy work in
eliminating H. Schmidt, of Worcester,
while Wood won by default.
Norman F. Hunter, the Edinburgh
player, who carried the hopes of the
English contingent after Harold Hill
ton was eliminated, last night was in
bed in the club dormitory with cold
congresses on his head TO ward off
a threatened heat prostrat,on. This
collapse of Hunter in the contest
put Wood in the semi-inals, and
gave him a chance to rest during the
afternoon, while the others were
playing matches under a broiling sun.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Something
new in equipment for a baseball
stand may be seen this month at
Washington Park. the home of the
Brooklyn Nationals. In all the stands
President Ebbets has installed a
series of megaphone horns, e%leetri-

There will also be an amateur race,

Eddie Hasha, who has won such a
strong place in the hearts of motor
cycle fans by his clever riding this
season, will lose some of his following
by his refusal to meet Ray Seymour
in a match race. 1t seems that up to
the time Seymour made his appear
nce at the local track Hasha was
willing to meet anyone that might
appear on the saucer.
No later than last night Hasha was
again offered a match race with Sey'
mour, which he fatty turned down.
Whether he is afraid to meet Sey-
mour or not is a question, but the
fact remains-that a victory I'VE Sey-
mour would be worth more to Hasha
thar any rider he could meet in the
country.

FOR RECOGNITION
ON NATIONAL COMMISSION
TO BE MADE BY PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Major
baseball players formally
launched their new protective organ
ization yesterday. 1t is known as the
National and American League Base
ball Fraternity, and its certificate of
incorporation was signed by Supreme
Court Justice Delany.
According to the petition for incor-
poration its object is to foster
fraternal feeling among the players
in the two big leagues. Dave Fultz,
former baseball and football star,
who was largely instrumental in
bringing the new movement to a head,
is at present president of the asso-
citation.
While the articles of Incorporation
have not been made public, it is gen.
orally believed the players intend for
mutual protection to demand repre-
sentation of their brotherhood in the
councils of organized baseball. The
call for the organization resulted
from the difficulties of Ty Cobb,
which precipitated a strike among
the Detroit team in Philadelphia
early in the season.
1t developed last night that in sup
port of a petition of incorporation af-
fidavits from seventeen present play
ers of the two major leagues were
submitted, and every club excepting
the Athletics of the American League
was represented. It was explained
that the omission of the club of Con-
ME Mack was due merely to the fact
that that aggregation had been slow

hurst had won by a neck, but the
judges gave it to Cherry Seed by a
"whisker," and cat-calls and Kisses
followed until the "red" indicating
