ENGLISH GOLFERS TURN
DOWN AMERICAN PLAN
Vote to Have Qualifying Round in
Championship, But Stick to
18-Hole Rounds.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The majority of
the golfers who played in the British
amateur championship at Sandwich last
Nav have voted against the proposal to
play thirty-siX-hole matches except in
the final round. On the other hand. the
result of a poll taken since the champion
ship shows that the Introduction of a
qualifying round of thirty-six holes, sixty
four to qualify. is favored.
Both proposed changes were submitted
to the 232 golfers who participated in the
championship at Sandwich. and a large
majority of the 300 who replied favored
the idea of giving up the present system
of all match play and substituting a
qualifying test. but at the same time
voted not to adopt the American system of
playing thirtysiNhole match rounds be-
fore the final
Just after the championship was over
at Sandwich it was reported that most
Of the contestants were dissatisfied with
the old eighteen-hole matches, and that
the American system of thirty-six hole
maches was desired by them, but the re-
suit of the poll taken since refutes this
report.
Limit of British Golfers.
The introduction of a qualifying round
is about as far as the British golfers
seem to want to go toward the system
that obtains in the United States.
The matter of making the changes
favored by the participants in the anna
teur championship was discussed at a
meeting Of the representatives of the
clubs on whose links the amateur event is
played This meeting was held during
the progress Of the British open cham
pionship at Prestwick last month. The
meeting resulted in a recommendation
that the thirty-six-hole qualifying round.
sixty-four to qualify. plan be adopted.
but it is hardly likely that it will be
acted upon by the full committee, which
has the power of final decision. until the
meeting which will be held during the
playing OF the amateur championship at
Murfeld in 1915. Thus any change will
not go into effect until the 1916 tourney
is played.

B0EHLING PITCHES WELL

Poor work by Callahan's pitchers in
the seventh inning yesterday was the me-
dium by which the Nationals finished
theri home series with victory. Scott
held the lead given him by the White
Sox for six innings, until it looked like a
cut and dried win for the visitors. but
he weakened in the seventh. and. after
filling the bases and allowing two runs
to cross the plate. Benz was substituted
Benz got rid of Moeller. who dumped an
easy roller in front of the plate, but he
walked Foster, forcing Boehling with the
tying run. Gandil was up next and after
Benz had pitched two balls to him, Ci-
cote was sent in. The Nationals first
baseman got a good one on the nose and
drove it to center for a clean single. Two
more runs scored, after which Cicotte
walked Shanks. but made Morgan hit an
easy grounder. on which Gandil was
forced at third for the final out.
Jim Scott was complete master of the
game until that seventh inning. He had
gone along rather easily, having no
trouble in preventing scores. He had
been given a three-run lead manly by
reason Of some timely batting by his
teammates, and it looked very much as if
the Sox were going to get the deciding
game of the SERIES But the uncertainties
OF base ball were not taken into consider
alton, and the erstwhile helpless Ma
tionals jumped in and produced one of
their few real batting rallies

EXPECTS GOOD YEAR IN 1914.
Granite, Marble and Bronze" Sum-
marizes Dealers Conclusions.

| Published elsewhere in the columns of
Granite, Marble l. Bronze is the con
sensus OF opinion from prominent retail
dealers, manufacturers and supply hous-
es throughout the country regarding the
volume of business done in 1918 as com
pared with previous years and as to the
outlook for prosperous year to come.
| A careful analysis of these reports as
compiled indicates without question of
doubt that the year 1918 showed an
! increase in volume OF business, and
while there may have been one or two
dull months in manufacturing lines,
this is not in any way due to business
depression but can be attributed to inn
proyement in production which enable
the manufacturer to turn out greater
amount of work in a given time than
heretofore. In an up-to-date plant of
to-day every effort is centered toward
the elimination of waste and an in
creased efficiency in production. The in
PRODUCTION of pneumatic tools and the
installation OF electric appliances have
played most important part in in
creasing the output without relatively
increasing the cost of production.
If manufacturers and retailers have
not made that fair percentage of profit
to which they are entitled, such failure
cannot be attributed to the volume of
business totaled for the year, but to
their overeagerness to secure an order
without first ascertaining the margin be-
tween cost and selling price, and their
fear of losing a contract to a competitor.
The successful men in the monumen-
tai business to-day are those who have
applied the most efficient business
methods in manufacturing and merchan-
dising, and their sales and profits have
increased yearly by leaps and bounds,
while the one who was satisfied to trav-
el along the groove which he had chill
elled out years ago has had to content
himself with the few crumbs which have
been swept to him.
The American people firmly believe in
keeping currency in circulation and
money will be spent for monuments as
freely as for automobiles; and unless
the unforeseen happens, not cloud of
which is visible on the horizon, it is safe
to predict that the total volume of busi-
ness for the year 1914 will be in excess
of that of the past year. Let each and
every one make up his mind that he will
secure a share of this increased pros
perity; and not only make up his mind
but make an earnest effort to obtain it,
1t will take hard work and thought, but
it is there, and yours for the asking

Alleges Mrs Ernest Holman in $4,000
Suit Against Rev. DR.. Cranston
of Hartford, Conn.

Hartford Conn, Jan l3.-Papers in a
$4,000 damage suit for cruel and Illegal
Imprisonment were served Yesterday
Iafternoon on Rev. DIR. Cranston Brenton
professor of romance languages and his
tory at Trinity college. The plaintiff is
his former poetess- wife, Mrs Ernest Hol-
man.
Mrs Holman alleges in her suit, which
is returnable to the Hartford county
superior court, that she was practically
abducted from her mothers home and
taken to Vermont, where at the Linden
Lodge sanitarium in Brattlehoro she was
locked inc a cell and harshly treated,
being restrained even to the extent that
she could not communicate with her
lawyer or friends, while the doctor was
suing for divorce.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth AL
den and she is the adopted daughter of
the late DIR. Jonathan Curtis OF this
city
Mrs. Brenton brought the original di-
vorce suit and ljr. Brenten countered
with cross action. naming Ernest Hol-
man of Waterville, Me-, member of
prominent Maine family. The cross ac-
tion was not contested and Mrs Bren,
ton, who is a poetess of remarkable
talents, was married to Holman within
week.
They are now living in Maine and yes
terday's suit is the growth of bitter
feeling that was aroused by Mrs Hol-
mans stories of being coerced and prac-
tically abducted from her mothers home.

DRIVEN OUT INTO COLD.
Fire Broke Out in Medford, Mass,
Building.

Medford, Mass, Jan. l3.--With the
mercury lowering around the zero mark,
members of six families occupying the
two upper floors of folT-story brick
block at 49l Broadway, near the corner
of Dexter street, South Medtord, were
obliged to fee to the streets in seant
Rttire when q fire was discovered in a
store on the street floor at 10 o'clock
last night.
The building is just out of Magoun
square, Someryille. and the alarm
brought fire apparatus from both Somer-
vile and Medford
A passenger on a passing electric car
saw the fire as he alighted and sounded
the fire alarm.
The fire was in the tailor shop of NJ.
Levine on the street floor, adjoining the
hrug store of j. A. Kyke & Co. The
second floor is occupied by DIR. H. G..
Dalton, physician, and }. w. Pomfret,
dentist. The six families live on the
third and fourth floors.
The fire starting from unknown origin
burned briskly in some suitings and
tailors' materials, quickly filling the en-
tire building with smoke, which alarmed
the inmates, who fled in unnecessary
haste to the street, where they suffered
from the severe cold until taken in by
neighbors.
The FIRE was confined to the tailor
shop, and the damage was estimated at
about $500.
The building is owned by Patrick
Kearens of 4s0 Broadway.
The occupants of the suites returned
to their apartments after the fire was
extinguished.
