SCHMIDT BEATEN
IN GOLF TOURNEY
Young American Loses by Only
One Stroke in Sixth Round
at st. Andrews.
HAD PROVED A SENSATION

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 20.
w. Heinrich Schmidt, the young
player of Worcester, Mass, was beat
en- today in the sixth round Of
the championship by n. Fl. Hilton,
Of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, at
the nineteenth hole.
Schmidt, who is only % years old
and learned his golf while a caddy,
has been the sensation of the cham
pionship tournament owing to the
remarkable strength and skill OF his
game. He met in the various rounds
some of the leading golfers of the
British Isles, but succeeded In fight
| ing his way to the sixth round in
which only eight players were left
The contest was a keen one, and
at the eighteenth hole was still a
tie. The veteran then, in playing the
extra hole. beat the young player and
thus put the last American contest
ant out of the tournament.
Schmidt, who worked his way
through college, took his final exam
nation early by special permission
of the faculty in order to be able to
proceed to Scotland to play in the
championship.
On the outward course Hilton's
score of sS strokes was one better
than Schmidt's. who took 80. Com
ing home, including the extra hole,
| the cards read AZ strokes each.
While play was proceeding In the
tournament today an important ques-
| ton affecting any fu0re American
entries was being discussed at the
annual meeting Of the committee OF
delegates from all the Scottish, Eng
fish and Irish clubs, which settles the
conditions governing entries for the
championship. The question arose
owing to the differences between the
British and American systems OF
| handicapping.
| While in the United States no
player is rated higher than scratch,
| in the British Isles the plus system
prevails. The strongest players are
sometimes rated az high as plus g.
and, consequently, have six strokes
added to their strokes In any handi-
cap medal game.
The first clause in the regulations
| for the amateur championship pro-
vides that the competition shall be
open to all amateurs rated scratch
or better in their clubs. This regu-
lation, If 1t were strictly enforced,
would bar every American golfer ex
cept Jerome Travers, the former
amateur champion Of the Unite'
| States.
The committee presented broad
sportsmanlike view, and no definite
action was taken. owing to the neces.
sity of giving three months notice o.
such a change. 1t was almost unani.
mously agreed that at next years
meeting of the committee a motor
should be introduced permitting any
American golfer whose United States
Golf Association rating was six Oh
less to enter for the championship.

'DROME' READY TO
BEGIN BIKE racing
Good Card Is Offered for Initial
Meet, Which Takes Place
Tomorrow.
TRACK WILL BE READY

Everything will be IN readiness for
the opening meet of the American
Cyclists Racing Association at the
Stadium Motordrome tomorrow aft
ernoon. Despite the steady rains OF
the past few days, work on the track
has not been delayed. and II win
positively be ready for the initial
meet.
The riders, although unable TO WORK
out on the Motordrome saucer, have
lost no time IN preparing Themselves
for the opening races. They have
been conditioning themselves On
home trainers under the grand stand.
AT least sixteen Of the pedal-pushers
were at the track today. and gil were
busy exercising in some way. Those
who were not on the home trainers
were skipping the rope and running
short sprint races.
The unlimited Australian pursuit
race, IN which four teams are en-
tered, should prove a bear. The
riders who are entered are Peter Dro-
bach, Jacob Magin, David Mackay,
Willie Coburn, Percy Lawrence. Ed
ward Rupprecht, John Beden and
Menus Bedell. The teams will be
captained by the Bedell brothers.
The five-mile professional handicap
is another race that is carded as
feature for the opening day. Twenty
riders are scheduled to be IN line
when the starter fires his pistol. Tit
other events for the professionals a.
this meet viii be a one-rnile poini
race and a two-mi1e invitation. TIT
last named viii see all the pros rid
ing at the track entered.
| In the three-mile amateur handicaI
the simon-pures viii have an oppor'
tunity to show their wares. Ther'
| is also a one-mile open and one-mils
novice scheduled for the boys whit
are riding among the amateurs. TIT
foot race that was to be part Of tn
program Is not likely to take place
as the running board will probably
not be in condition
The work of installing the light
for the night racing is now beini
performed by a number Of cleo
tricians. The Motordrome's is said t
have one of the finest lighting plant
of its kind in the country. Twenty
eight arc lights will encircle tn
saucer. Each is OF such power tina
night will be practically turned int
i day. Night racing will soon be IN
Iaugurated, Wednesdays throughou
the season being the choice of tn
management for the midweek meet.
i That the American Cyclists Asso
citation expects to make popular tn
hve-mile handicap for professional
can be taken from the fact that II
lagain to be a feature at the Sunda,
meet. A 25-nile race for amateur
will be another special carded for tn
Sabbath. The rest OF the program
includes g two-mile invitation, Pre-
! fessional; three-iap handicap. anna

WILL USE ENGLISH BALL
in DAVIS CUP MATCHES

NEW YORK, May 2s.-As con-
cession to the Australian tennis play
ers an English ball is to be used In
the Davis cup matches here next
week. 1t is the first time that an Eng
lish ball has been used in interna-
tional matches in this country.
The Americans were persuaded to
try the ball by the argument of the
Australians that one of English make
would be used in the matches in Eng
land, and that If the Americans were
fortunate enough to win in the
first of the preliminary tie matches
here, it would be well for them to
familiarize themselves with the for
eign ball, which is said to be faster
and livelier than the American prod
uct.

defeating the Sox In that contest
Washington was unable TO play yes
terday at Philadelphia because OF
rain and the Senators got back into
third place, passing the White Sox
again, because of Chicago's double
reverse. Detroit took q game from
st. Louis by tally Of 6-s. max

For seventeen innings the st. Louis
Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs bat
tied at Chicago yesterday before the
Cubs won out on a base on balls,
which Harmon gave to Larry Cheney,
his pitching rival, forcing in a run.
The score was 81. The Cards fought
gamely, tieing it up in the ninth by
putting two runners over the pan.
Both teams had sixteen safeties dur
ing the game. Archer had four hits
and Zimmerman three for the Cubs.
Mowrey and Mclean had three safe
ties apiece for the Cards. The teams
were scoreless from the ninth to the
seventeenth round. Leach and Safer
singled and Bridwell was purposely
passed to enable Harmon to get at
Pitcher Cheney. Harmon could not
get the ball over for the big pitcher
and Leach was forced in with the
winning run.
Honus Wagner kicked himself Out
of the Pittsburgh Cincinnati game al
the Smoky City yesterday, COM
planning about a decision at second
base In the ninth inning. Groh was
called safe stealing by Umpire Byron
and the verdict aroused Wagnerf
ire. Cocky Byron did not show an.
respect for the mogul of the major
leagues, but asked for his resignation
for the time being. Cincinnati hat
sewed up the game, 81, before tn
argument arose. Groh did not scor'
anyhow and the decision did Httl'
damage.
The Giants were prevented from
playing at Boston and the PhiIliel
were idle at Brooklyn because o
rain. Today the teams switch arount
