Fateful Numbers.


Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema has re-
Gently confessed that many of his hap
piest memories have been associated with
the number seventeen, and it Is re-
minder that Capt. Oates of the Inflated
Scott expedition went to his death in
blizzard on March (which was the
date of his birthday. Similarly, the great
Oliver Cromwell died on September g.
which was the anniversary OF his two
great victories at Dunbar and Worces-
ter: and Shakespeare's death day has
been claimed by fnany experts TO have
been also his birthday.
Charles Dickens once declared that all
the fortunate events of his life happened
on Fridays; and Bismarck held. with
Pythagoras, that three and not thirteen
is the perfect number. At any rate. BIS
marck had three names, three oak leaves
figured in his family arms. he was con-
cerned in three wars and signed three
treaties of peace. he had three chiidren,
he was responsible for the triple al
lance in the Franco-German war ne
had three horses shot under MN, ana
always represented MN

AND ANDERSON TO
FIGHT FOR CROWN AT GOLF
Champion Defeats Herreshoff and Chick
Evans Beaten by the Boston
Schoolmaster.

NEW YORK. September 6.-Jerome y.
Travers. already a three-time winner,
and John G. Anderson, the Boston
schoolmaster, will fight it out for the
national amateur golf championship
title on the Garden City links today.
Travcrs survived the semi final round
by defeating his old rival, Frederick
Herreshoff, up and 4 to play, while
Anderson upset calculations when he
eliminated Charles w. ("Chick'D Evans,
jr., the hope of the west, by and
margin.
In way, Anderson's success was un-
expected, especially as his opponent
had gained lead of 2 up at the end
of the morning play. Although he had
been putting indifferently, the western
er succeeded in turning the course in
10, three strokes better than his op-
ponent, who for the first time in sew
eral rounds had gone above the 50
mark.
After luncheon Evans, trying first one
putter and then another, became we'll
nigh helpless on the green's, whereas
his opponent kept pegging away. al
WAYS driving long balls, rarely off the
course, and usually taking advantage
of the openings presented through the
lapses in his opponents short game.
AS is always the case on seml-nnal
day, the gallery swelled to unusual pro
portions. becoming SO unwieldy as the
day advanced that the committee OF the
United States Golf Association FOUND II
expedjent to resort to the ropes, which
certainly had a more restraining erect on
the impetuous ones than the little RED
flags with which the committeeman and
their aids have been armed throughout
the week.
Apropos of the crowd. it is doubtful if
any national tournament seen in the east
during the last ten years has attracted q
larger gallery. The Travers-Herreshafr

Anderson and Evans were standing OH the
twelfth tee, and the spectacle OF ..hN
persons, including hundreds of hand
somely Sowned women turning as of one
mind and rushing with more speed than
dignity across the links to head off the
other pair was a novelty in the history
of American golf. This swelled an al
ready large gallery that had been watch
ing Evans and Anderson. The two armies
met at the twelfth green. and conserva-
tive estimate of the number put it at
5000.
When Travers gained his six-hole lead
over Herreshoff in the morning the cham
pion from Upper Montclair was not able
to boast of a low score. the card showing
an approXimated round of 50. At match
play, however this same card was almost
unbeatable To give a further idea of the
keenness of the morning part Of this
match. it may be said that all save
three of the eighteen holes were either
won or lost. the only halves being at
the first, sixth and sixteenth holes.
In golf as in other games, the best
player generally wins. There is also a
saying that luck goes with the good
player" Travers had his share of good
fortune yesterday, for in the matter of
stymies alone the champion was aided on
no less than three occasions. This was
certainly trying on the nerves of even
sood-natured Herreshoff. although he
took it all in good part.
The reason that Travers did not have
a better-looking card was due to some
weird work with his maShe at two of the
holes. Those who saw his exhibition
while playing the home hole in the morn
ing were amazed. When he walked to
the tee he had an advantage of up. and.
with nothing to worry him, proceeded to

stgnifying that he had had enough.
Even so. there was no certainty that
Herreshoff would have won the hole. for
his tee shot. far too strong went plump
into the graveIike pit behind the green.
Many golfers have been known to waste
stroke after stroke in that same pit.

RED S0X AND BRAVES
TO MEET IN SERIES
Rival Boston Teams Sign for
P0St-SeaS0n Games to
Begin October 7.

NEW YORK. September 6.-After a
conference in Boston yesterday morning
in which President James +. Gaffney and
Manager Stallings of the Braves and
President James r. McAleer and Gen.
Charles Fl. Taylor of the Red SoN took
part, an agreement providing for post
season series was signed and sealed
Seven games will be played, beginning
October T. The choice of grounds will
be decided by the toss of coin and
the national commission will manage the
series.
The great improvement worked in the
Boston Nationals by Stallings and the
fact that the Red Sox occupy the same
relative position, fifth place, in the Amer
lean League race have worked up a
spirit of rivalry in the Hub that has
compelled the teams to meet on the dia-
mond.
Gen Taylor, who controls half the
stock in the Red Sox, said yesterday
that he never dreamed that there would
be so much popular interest in the com
ing series, and he seemed to think that
the patronage would provide the players
of both teams with snug sum. Stall
ings said that his Braves would con.
tinue to improve between now and the
beginning of the series, and II they didn't
win he would feel bitterly disappointed.
AS the failure Of the Red Sox to re-
peat last years triumph has weakened
the prestige of the Ban Johnson or
ganization in the Hub, McAleer evidently
hopes that a victory over the Braves viii
put a temporary check ON the growing
popularity of the National Leaguers.
Meanwhile Stallings and his men. hav-
ing wrested fifth place from the Dodgers
are playing their heads off to remain il
that notch while the Red SoX, also traN.
cling at a faster gait than early in the
year, are eager to snatch fourth place
from the White SoX.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Mundy, the Red Soxs first baseman
from the Virginia League, is not a very
big fellow, but seems quite active. He
is left-hander. In his first game Man
ager Carrigan jerked him out that he
might go i'm himself as batter i'm a
ninch. which was not very encouraging
to a youngster and hardly the way to
test his gameness.
The ST. Louis Browns got rid of two
shortstop candidates during the pas,
week, selling Johnny Lavan to the Ath-
letics for the waiver price and giving
Charley Flanagan his release. Connie
Mack probably took Lavan because he
was a college ball player. He showed
some nice fielding with the Browns. blu;

hit nor field, and was one of the meanest
tricks that Dick Cooley ever pulled In
