between Cornell and Pennsy. OF
course. there is a chance that Dart
mouth will cut a big figure in the
games and that Harvard may spring
a surprise. California, too, is given
consideration, but the possibilities
lust about end with the native
sons" Yale isn't given a show at all,
neither is Princeton, and 1t is hardly
likely that either the Bulldog or the
Tiger will show in an individual way.

Jack Dillon. by besting Frank
Klaus in a ten-round bout in In
dianapolls last night. has again turned
the middleweight pugilistic situation
upside down Klaus has been looked
upon for some time as the best man
in the business, and match between
him and Mike Gibbons was being
MANNED for Madison Square Garden.
Now, however, that Dillon has out
pointed Klaus shift may be made
in the men, although sometimes that
isn't the best mode. either Dillon
and Klaus are old rivals, or old
friends. just as you will. They clashed
one fine night at the garden and
their exhibition was so brutally rank
that the crowd booed them contin-
ually. Later both men declared they
had done their best and that they
couldn't master one another. The
outcome of the bout at indianapolis
last night, however. puts another
complexion on the situation.

Criticism of a more or less personal
nature has been going the rounds OF
the links and the rounds of the press
in respect to the American repre-
sentatives who competed in the
worlds golf championship in Eng
land. 1t has been said, and more or
less truthfully, too, that the Yam
KEGS who played in the competition
did not figure among the ten leading
golfers of this country. Walter }.
Travis declared that 1t was a mat
ter of money and not a matter of
skill that America was so poorly
represented, and not few thoroughly
agree with him.. Travis himself, on
one occasion, proved worthy son
and captured the title in England,
but we didn't have much luck when
Jerome D. Travers and Fred HERES
hoff and Chick Evans went over to
Europe and played in the champion
ship.
@
Really, outside of Travis, though. |
w. H. Schmidt, who was one of the
six representatives this year, has
done much better than did our top
notchers. Schmidt was a surprise
in every way. In this country he is
a three handicap man, yet he reached
the sixth round in England and was
put out of the competition only after
a 19-hole match with Harold Hilton,
a former champion. Schmidt played
a grand game of golf, and he took
his defeat in fine spirit, although,
from what he said afterward, he
rather expected to bring the title
back to the u. S. A.
G
To play Hilton to an xtra-hole
match, Schmidt must have been at
the top of his game. Hilton has been
seen hereto advantage on his first
trip and to disadvantage later on.
That he is a beautiful golfer none
must deny but we would rather pre-
fer Travers and Evans as against
him with all the conditions as equal
as possible; but in getting back to
our representatives in the big COM
petition this year; if we are to be
represented at all we ought to be
able to see to it that at least one of
our best men compete. The showing
of Schmidt was great, and we glory
in it, and Harold Weber didn't do so
poorly, either, but with the breaks
at all equal, what would the Won
derful Travers, the way he is playing
now, and the sensational Evans do
in their matches with the foreigners?
AS to golf, England may have 1t on
| us to a large extent, but it is doubt
| full if she has any more brilliant
golfer in her entire fold than Jerome
d. Travers, who plays as a member
of the Upper Montclair Club.

Please give your opinion on this
baseball pool question: Monday two
of my teams did not play, the other
scored three runs. BIS teams all
played and scored five runs. Tuesday
none of my teams played and BIS
scored four runs. l claim | am en-
titled to the days prize for lowest
number of runs. The promoter says
l am not. Thanking you for the
trouble, l remain, w. w. S.
The game is play or pay and you
are entitled to low score prize, even
though none of your teams played.

It depends upon the stone. ANY
jeweler could give you your informa-

which you desire.
