BECOMING POPULAR
New York Enthusiasts Go Over
Van COrtIandt Links With
out Lantern.
GOSSIP OF THE LINKS

Three Yonkers IN. " players are
the latest to go on record as expo
nents of moonlight golf. They are
Albert w. Free, L. F. Thorn and ]. j.
Lawrence. The other evening about
$3.50 o'clock John o'Connell. who runs
the golf house, heard some one up
stairs in the locker room at Van Cort-
landt Park, New York. and on inves-
tigating found three men in question
preparing to go out for round. The
moon was not even bright, but the
players refused the offer of lantern.
They were guided solely by their
sense of direction after hitting the
ball, and at the end of three hours
they finished nine holes on the mead
ows. They lost three balls, but found
one after long search.
at was as enjoyable a contest as
any I ever played" remarked Law
renee, land I hope to try 1t again. :"
The others agreed with him, but were
careful not to mention scores.
Although many changes have been
made in the course of the Country
Club, Brookline, the scene of that
memorable play-off for the open
last September, still more alterations
are being made. The putting green
at the fourteenth is being moved to
the left, and a cross-bunlSer to catch
low second shot of those who try
to get to the green in two will be
built. A series of mounds will be put
in to the right of the green. Back of
the green trap will be dug.
Three well-known professionals
Dave Kober, of Evanston; Jack
Burke. of Port Arthur, Canada, and
Jack Roseman. of Des Moines-have
started on a tour of the South. They
will play at New Orleans, Mobile,
Montgomery, Birmingham, Atlanta,
Augusta, Jacksonville. st. Augustine

ranged by Tom Bendelow.

Montclair High Quintet Starts
Season by Trimming Glen Ridge

Montclair High School inaugurated
it's basketball season yesterday after
noon by 25 to IA victory over Glen
Ridge High School in a game played
on the Academy court. Niesl and
Baker displayed a teaming ability
which was excellent considering the
earliness of the season. Between the
pair eight field goals were tailed.
Baker had bad luck on the majority
OF his tries for baskets, for the ball
would circle the rim only to drop off
again.
Glen Ridge put up q game fight,
and the game was more closely con-
tested than the score indicates. Nina
sian and Reid netted three and five
field goals respectively, while Valen-
tine scored free throws. Niesi, of
the Academy. Gagged five of the latter.

GUS GETz IN ROLE OF WHITE HOPPE"
SMITH CONFERS WITH EBBETSs JR.

training camp. The Tiger manager
and the new president talked over
hotel accommodations around the In
ternational League circuit and other
details in which Smith is interested
for the sake of the players con-
venience. Smith asked that the pitch
ers' box at the local park be altered
and that the batters' box be changed.
The pitchers box was a little bit too
high and the batters' box too low to
suit most of the Tiger batters last
year.
President Ebbets, jr., says that
Smiths visit was not to talk about
ball players. Ebbets also made a.
very stout and emphatic assertion
that Joe Tinker would play on his
fathers Brooklyn team or he would
not play at all in organized baseball
so certain is Charley, jr., that his
father will land his $4,000 prize.

Want to Play In Porto Rics.
Several of the Tigers are interested
in Dave Driscoll's proposed trip to
Porto Rico. Gus Getz is anxious to
make the trip. and Billy Zimmerman
says he would risk another voyage
over the briny Is he could come back
with as much of the long green in
his pockets as he got last year. Harry
Smith has not yet given his consent,
as the Tigers will start on their
training trip much earlier next sea-
son; but these players may be spared
until the exhibition games are started.
"Good-bye Joe YeaEer--"
A report was circulated recently
that Joe Yeager vas scheduled to go
from Montreal to Atlanta. Sammy
Lichtenhein, the Montreal magnate,
who always declared that Yeager
would play for him so long as he held
the Royals, replies that such a deal
may be put through, but 1t will de-
pend entirely on Yeager. Joe has
played in Montreal for five seasons,
and is beginning to slip, but the fans
like him, especially for his coaching.

comes TO Newark, tut he Is popular

Chapman Was Hard Hit.

Last winter Chapman ran a circuit
of six-day races, and with the ex-
ception of the Kansas City and Buff
falo races, they were all failures
financially. Heavy losses were sus-
tanned in Des Moines and st. Louis,
which made the entire venture q
failure. Prior to the New York and
Boston races last year Chapman pro-
NOTED a six-day race In Toronto, and
1t was a fiatterlng success. If a race
is staged at Toronto this winter 1t
will probably be even more success
full.
Last year Chapman backed the
races and also the riders, and when
1t was all over he was the one who
was the loser, but this year he has
a different arrangement, and if there
are any losses he will not be the one
who will have to make good. But
as Buffalo, Toronto and Kansas City
are good cycle racing towns there is
hardly a chance of the races being
failures.

When it comes to being "white
hope" Gus Getz, the clever second
sacker of the Newark Tigers, is nc
SLOUGH. Gus has everything but the
bulk of the regulation white hope
The Bengal balltosser and his wife
who is a Newark girl, and another
couple were returning from dance
the other night when a band OF
rowdies accosted Mrs. Getz. Mrs
Getz had been walking on ahead ot
Gus. with a lady friend. The rowdy
grabbed Mrs. Getz by the arm, and a
moment later was stretched out full
length on the ground, counting new
stars which he never knew existed.
A stiff right uppercut from Getz's
arm performed the trick. There were
five in the party, and another MEM
Der made lunge for Getz. Mean
while Gus's gentleman friend got
busy, and the rowdies took to their
heels, all excepting the one Gus had
laid low.
Gus looked around for a policeman,
but finally decided that the offender
had been sufficiently punished, and
let him go.

Chicago-Inter-O Ocean says: With

up and the black rust season in the

bears are not taking any chance and
are said to have reduced their lines.
There has been active closing OF
spreads on July and September that
showed a big profit and some traders
are buying September and selling De-
cember. while sentiment is generally
bearish, conservative people advise
against short sales except on sharp
bulges
Spectators who disregard claims Of
crop losses west Of the Missouri and
the continued high temperatures sold
out their corn yesterday because Of
the light outside buying. based on the
bad crop reports. Some Of the best
traders are looking for bulge unless
rain comes in the southwest today or
tomorrow.
Cash sales were $4,000 bushels Of
wheat. $4,000 bushels of corn and
2O0,O bushels of oats.
The seaboard reported 100000
bushels of wheat sold for export the
past two days.
The reports coming now from Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Kansas of
whitening corn where 1t is tasseling
and the period when corn is most ten
der, are very numerous today. The
next state and government corn re-
ports for states west Of the Mississippi
