MANY ALLURING ATTRACTIONS FOUND
BY GOLFERS AT BETHLEHEM LINKS

Because of the clear. rarified air,
the beautiful mountain scenery and,
above all, the springy eighteen hole
golf course, the village of Bethlehem,
in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire, has found favor in the
eyes of Newarkers as a vacation CEN
tire. No less parsonage than Walter
J. Travis, the former champion, has
praised the course as a very promie-
ing one, and he has further backed
his statements by coming there year
after year. Among the regular So
iourners at Bethlehem is A. S. Mar
ten, who is well known to the golflng
fraternity of this city. Mr.. Marten,
although sixty-nine years of age, al
ways manages to put up good game
of golf, and his driving compares ia
vorably with that of many of the
local stars. Charles Hetzel, of this
city, completed a few satisfactory
rounds over the course on a recent
visit, as did Oscar ]. Writ and j.
Edward Blackmore.
Aside from golf the Newarkers at
Bethlehem have taken we'll to base
ball. A large grandstand and good
playing facilities have contributed
much to the success of the team. Mr..

DEFEAT Of JERSEY
BOY BIG SURPRISE

mated in Play for Junior Met
rOpOlitan Tennis Title.

There are but nine of the ninety
six youngsters who started in the
tournament for the junior metropoli-
tan championship singles left in the
running after yesterdays play at the
West Side Tennis Club courts, Forest
Hills, Long Island. Seven of the
youngsters have moved out to the
round before the semi-final, while the
other two are in the fourth round.
The days play was marked by the
defeat of two players who We're fig
ured to have a fine chance for the
title. The great surprise of the
day was the victory of ID. Fletcher
over Harold Throckmorton, of RAN
way, the Princeton interscholastic
champion, in the fourth round at Cd,
1--6, 6--3. Fletcher, who never had
done anything very remarkable on
the courts, outplayed his opponent in
every department of the game, show
ing his greatest strength in driving
to the base line.
Another interscholastic champion,
George Achelis, who won the school
boy title in the University of Penn
sylvania tournament, also was
humbled by an unknown player. 5.
Holt was the one who took the meas
ure of Achelis, and he did 1t by eX-
actly the same score as Fletcher de-
feated Throckmorton.
c. S. Garland. the young Pittsburgh
racket wielder, showed the same
speed and ability that he has dis
played in all of his earlier matches
and climbed into the fifth round by
vanquishing A. +. Won Bernuth in
straight sets at SO, 6--3. Garland
has handled himself like veteran in
every match he has played and IS
favored by many to win the tourna-
ment. He will meet Holt tomorrow.
IL. BENIN, the youngster who sur
prised many by eliminating w.
Bottsford, who recently was runner
up in the British junior champion
ship tourney at Folkestone, was put
out of the running in the fourth
round by II. w. Foster in straight
sets at S-6, 6-3. BENIN was not in
the best of form, for before his match
with Foster he had a hard tussle In
the third round with f. w. Hopkins,
whom he defeated at 6-1, 40, 60.
Considerable progress was made in
the doubles, which were started yes
terday, but the play was not as good
as that in the singles, for the teams
were picked at random and in most
cases the boys did not pair up well
together.

SUNDAY WILL BE BIG DAY
FOR THE NEWARK STARS

The biggest day of the season, in
the minds of the Newark Stars. will
be next Sunday, for on that date
they are scheduled to play the rubber
game of series with the Glendale
team at Glendale, Long Island. So
far each nine has captured two
games and the final conflict promises
TO furnish some exciting playing.
Manager Billy Simms, of the local
team, is sure he will win the SERIES
for he has signed up a very strong
team for the occasion. Billy Jesmer
will cover first base, and Joe Freder-
icks, the Maplewood star Is slated to
do the twirling against the Long
Island nine. Jim McMahon, Happell
and Fredericks, ought to furnish a
strong enough pitching staff to de-
feat the Glendales, and o victory over
their old rivals would be very pleas
ing to the Stars.
s
One OF the big factors in the sue
cess of the Speedway team this season
has been the heavy hitting of Zitz-
man. the star infielder of the Irving
ton nine. Zitzman's bat played an
important part in the double header
on Sunday against the Windsor A. C..
nine, lOr ne accumulated total OF
eight hits In the two games. In adj
dition he romped across the rubber
five times.
s.
Through the heavy hitting of Skally
and Colleary and the excellent mound
work of Bausewein, the Montclair
Holy Name team is going at a mighty
fast clip just now. In the game at
South Elizabeth on Sunday the Mont
clair team slammed out fourteen hits,
while the Betsytowners had hard
time getting eight hits.
Pitcher Frey, of the Bloomfield f.
c., was not content when he had
the Roseville Tigers eating from his
hand on Sunday, but he tried to win
on his own hook by slamming the
ball for two long drives.

Match.

The bike fans expect a wonderful
display OF speed tonight when Cham
pion Frank Kramer and ALI Goullet
meet ALI Grenda and Gordon Walker

Walker are very fast and they believe
that Kramer and Goullet will be con-
siderably faster than the tandem
champions. Kramer and Goullet
should make a wonderful team. They
had but one chance to show their
speed as a tandem team when they
paced Bob Walthour in the middle
distance championship and they
surely looked good that day. The
fans were set for a great race in the
final of the tandem championship
with most of their interest centring
in Kramer and Goullet, but just as the
race was about to start the big star
team had to be Withdrawn on ac-
count of a disabled machine. They
