Before Byers had finished respond
ing to congratulations the old war
horse, Walter ]. Travis came in with
a rs, score that might easily nave
been two strokes better had he been
able to negotiate fairly short puts on
the sixteenth and seventeenth green's.
Starting out Travis laid an approach
shot to within ten feet of the first
hole. and would have had had he
not been faint-hearted on the put, the
ball falling short of the cup some six
inches. From there on he reeled off
the holes in par figures, going out in

A general sigh of relief went
through the western section of the
gallery when Evans came in with his
capital score of II. Those who had
followed the former Western cham
pion in the four-ball match on Sun
day had fears of his even qualifying,
but, although he did miss few puts
that child might have holed, the rest
of his game was so masterful as to
make it impossible for him to get
aught but good card. His card:

Jerome D. Travers carried the
largest gallery of players, 1t being
estimated that upward of a thousand
persons followed him over the course.
He golfed well, but had streaks of
bad luck here and there. His card of

1t would be difficult to imagine
course in more perfect condition than
the Garden City links yesterday. The
greens were as smooth and closely
cropped as carpet, while the fairway
presented few bare spots.

First of Marblehead
Races.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept. I'm
the first of the series of sender class
races for the President Wilson and
Governor Foss cups, the three Amer
lean yachts finished ahead of the
German invaders. The Gina, Guy
Lowell's veteran, was three minutes
ahead of the Sprig, who in turn led
Ellen by one second. The Angela
W, the crown princes yacht, led
the Germans. with Serum and Wit
telsbach X. following in that order.
The race was sailed twice over
triangular course of two and a half
miles. The starting gun sounded at
11:10, and all three Americans
crossed the line ahead of the Ger
mans and almost together for the
first leg, which was a beat to wind
ward. 1t proved a drifting match to
the mark, with Gina better than the
rest. Gina rounded at 1898, fol-
lowed by Ellen. then Serum and
ANGELA ". Just after the turn
Gina broke out her spinnaker for
run to the second mark. The Ellen
and Serum followed in that order
Angela ". led Sprig, which in turn
was leading Wittelsbach X. In the
reach to the finish line for the first
time around Gina still continued TO
lead, and her lead was better than
two minutes when she rounded.

GARDEN CITY, Sept. 2,-Francis
Ouimet. of Woodland, who recently
won the Massachusetts title, had the
distinction of leading the field in the
first eighteen-hole stroke round OF the
national amateur championship tour
.nament over the links of the Garden
City Golf Club yesterday.
Onimet returned a card of 10, a
stroke better than Walter J. Travis,
of the home club. Charles w.
("chick") Evans, jr., of Edgewater,
another favorite. tied with E. M.
Byers, of Allegheny, at n, a stroke
better than Henry j. Topping, OF
Greenwich. and Thomas M. Sherman,
of Utica, while Jerome d. Travers,
the title-holder; Archie N. Reid, OF
st. Andrews, and c. B. Buxton, or
Huntingdon Valley, at 70, completed
the list of those better than so.
Oswald Kirkby. who couldn't get
better than 80, failed to qualify. Fne
strange thing about kirkby's down
fall was the fact that the former New
Jersey champion considered he had
played in the main fully up to his
best standard.

admirers had predicted of him. Con-
sistently long and straight off the tee,
he was able to laugh at the many
yawning traps dug to penalize the
erring ones. He also used his mashie
effectively, with the result that little
chance was left to go wrong unless
he had a complete breakdown on put
ting, which at times is the most
troublesome part of his game.
On this occasion Ouimet putted
fairly well, as may be gathered when
it is stated that his card showed moth
ing worse than 5s. After reaching the
turn in 81, the Woodland golfer came
back in SO, which included 5s at the
sixteenth and seventeenth holes. His

OUEAL REGISTERS
TRIPLE VICTORY
Cleans Up in Three Events at
the Caled0nian
Games.
JOE GUERIN is UNPLACED

NEW YORK. Sept. BILLY Queal
amazed a crowd of 10000 persons who
attended the fifty-seventh annual
games of the New York Caledonian
Club. held at Washington Park, Mas
peth, yesterday afternoon, by winning
three of the long distance races. Queal
won the mile in Am. 81 4-5s.. the three
mile in linn. 59s.. and the five-mile in
25m. 25s. Queal won $40 in prize
money and the gallery believed he
was worth every bit of it.
Interest centered in the three-mile
race because it was Joe Guerin's de-
but in the professional ranks after
stormy season with the Amateur Ath-
letic Union. Guerin. while attached
to the Trinity Club. of Brooklyn, ran
under an assumed name in Newark.
He was suspended recently for fall
ing to put in an appearance when his
case was called. He ran in the rucK
for eight laps. and quit at the mile
and-a- half mark.
Tad White. the former Irish Amer
lean crack. and ]. Fitzgerald, Cal
gary led for the first mile. Queal
was running along about 100 yards
back until the halfway mark, when
he passed the leaders.
Fitzgerald and Queal battled stride
for stride through the last three
miles of the five-miie event, but
terrific lap sprint to the finish by the
Alexandria Bay boy gave him the
race by thirty yards. White was fifty
Yards behind Fitzgerald.
Billy Irvine, champion sack racer
of a generation ago, tried his hand at
his old game in the 220-yard sack
race. Billy led for fifty yards, when
enough of the field overlook him to
land him into fourth place F. Eccles,
who was a few inches behind the
eventual winner, F. Moran, fifty
yards from the tape, fell, but got to
his feet just as Irvine reached HIM

UNCLE SAM HOLDS THE BAG.
Gold and Silver Left in His Keeping
Becoming Serious Nuisance.

Washington, June 16.-More than
a half-century ago Uncle Sam was
handed three bags of gold, worth
about $500; he is still holding them.
Some thirty years ago he was handed
a bag of valuable silver bullion and
the owner has left it with him ever
since. THIS gold and silver has been
a great nuisance to the accounting
office of the Federal Government.
Comptroller of the Treasury Downey
has just decided that to convert it
into the treasury to the credit of the
men who presented it would require
an Act of Congress.
In 1856 H. J. Peters brought
s127.87 worth of gold bullion to the
San Francisco mint; in 1858 Joseph
Baker presented $333.27, and in
1853 J. M. Souther handed over
$156.96. They never returned.
In 1882 Thomas F. Davis brought
1900 ounces of silver bullion to the
New York assay Office to be made into
fine silver bars and has not been seen
since.

SURVIVES $500 VOLT SHOCK.
Spartanburg Motorman Seems Inn
mme to Electricity.

Spartanburg, June 16.-EdWard
Kitchin, motorman, has the unique
distinction of being alive after 1890
volts of electricity passed through his
body. A less powerful shock is usu-
ally fatal. Kitchin found guy wire,
which was in contact with a feed
wire, lying across the track. 1t seem
ed to be dead. He cut it nearly
through with his pliers then took
hold of the wire with one hand on
each side of the cut place and broke
it in two. His body at once became
part of the circuit and he was thrown
five feet and rendered unconscious.
A spark tore a hole through his
hand. His eyes almost popped from
their sockets and his lips were swol-
len and contorted. He was able to be
about tonight, however.

WanLed to Mob Detectives.

Anderson, June 1.-two negro
detectives, who had worked up a
number of liquor cases here, escaped
by the timely arrival of police and Sc
rious injury to both on the square to-
day, when surrounded by an angry
mob of negroes they had brought into
court.
James Templeton and Lovey Jones,
the detectives, were followed about
town all morning by some of the Is
negroes against whom cases had been
made, and their friends.
Just as the meeting took place on
the principal corner, policemen STEP
ped in and averted trouble.
Had the police arrived three min
utes later or had the detectives been
cornered in remote section, blood
shed would have resulted.
Threats were made and the ne
groes were about to close in on the
detectives at the approach of the Off
GERS.
At police headquarters it was stated
no threats were heard by officers so
no arrests were made and no names
of the negroes in the mob taken. The
two detectives left the city this af-
ternoon for Greenville. The came

SAVANNAH DOCTOR MURDERED.
Young Widow Shoots DR.. Guy Brink
lev and Kills Self.

Savannah, Ca, June 16.-Dr. Guy
o. Brinkley, a prominent young ply
sician of this city, was killed this
afternoon by Mrs. Eugene H. Whis-
nant, formerly Miss Katie Kittles,
who then turned her weapon, a 32-
calibre Colt automatic revolver, on
herself, falling dead across the dead
body of DR.. Brinkley, with a bullet
in her brain.
The young woman, who was a wild
ow, went to the office of DR.. Brink
ley, accompanied by woman COM
panion, whose name has not been as
certained. Mrs. Whisnant and the
doctor went into the private office
and the other woman remained in
the outer office, leaving hastily when
the shooting began.
A few minutes after DR.. Brlnkley
and Mrs. Whisnant entered the office,
the firing began and the door opened
and DR.. Brinkley rushed out, fol-
lowed by Mrs. Whisnant, who wa.
steadily firing upon him. DR.. Brink
ley called to a maid servant to get
the police and the woman ran fol-
help. Meantime Mrs. Whisnant pur-
sued the doctor to the porch and
back into the office, firing upon him
all the time. Her sixth shot entered
the physicians heart, causing death
Without moments delay the wo-
man turned the weapon upon herself
and fired a bullet into her temple
causing instant death.
DR.. Brinkley was Virginian, COM
ing to Savannah from Suffolk, sew
eral years ago. He was unmarried
and was prominent in business and
social circles.
His slayer was about 27 or 2s
years old, slim, with dark, brown
eyes and hair. She was married to
Whisnant, in Charlotte, N. c., in
1906, while he was i'll with typhoid
fever, from which he afterWard died
Since then she has made her home
with her mother here.
