AMATEUR GOLFERS ARE
BATTLING FOR TITLE

Mass. in 1910. This was by far the
largest number of starters that ever
began a national tournament and i'm.
der the new rule exempting all but
players with a national rating Of five
strokes or better from competition, no
such field can ever be assembled for
this event again.
AT .Apawanis, N. Y, in 1911 !. there
we're 10 starters when for the first
and only time the cup and the title
left the United States. as that year
Harold H. Hilton, Engiand's foremost
amateur golfer. was the winner but
not until he had been carried to an
extra hole effort by Fred Herreshof oi
Ekwanok, vt Hilton was defeated IN
1912 by c. @. Waldo in the first match
play round at Wheaton, Ill. when ]. d.
Trayers won for the third time and
his victory at Garden City twelve
months ago marked his fourth winning
OF the trophy and title, which he will
be called upon to defend next week.

Although there were two amateur
golf championship tournaments, one at
medal play and the other at match
play, held In the United States, in 1894,
Il was not until the following year
that the newly organized United States
Golf Association assumed control of
the game In this country. The first
amateur championship under the aus
pices Of the national organization was
decided on the course of the Newport
Golf Club, Newport, r. l., In October.
1896, and won by Charles B. MacDon-
aid, entered from Chicago, and now q
resident OF New York City. Yesterday
the twentieth anniversary Of this event
carrying with II the championship cup
and title for which great field Of play
ers VIII contend, began on the links
of the EkNanok County Club, Manches'
ter, VI. and the final round will be de.
cided next Saturday.
In the early days Of golf in this
country Il was only natural that those
who bad learned the game in Scotland
and england easily led the American
players, &c after the victory Of c. B.

who had come from the other side OF

following year at Wheaton, ILL., The
fourth championship was decided a
Morristown, N. J., in 1898, and won BY
| Findley s. Douglas. who had come
from Scotland to make America his
home.

Maurice E. Mclaughlin as 4 nucleus

European War clouds have dispersed
and the international situation war.
rants such action.
With Brookes and Wilding unlikely
to defend the trophy again and score
or young American players rapidly ris-
ing to the heights already attained by
Mclaughlin, the prospects Of regaining
the cup IN the next try is considered
bright. McLoughlin's victories In the
recent tournament stamps him as the
greatest singles player In the world.
Because Of his youth he Is conceded
to have at least five years champion
ship tenure. What is needed TO give
the United States a really representa-
tive team Is another player OF almost
equal singles ability and strong well
balanced doubles team.
In addition to McLoughlin and R.
Norris Williams End; william M. John.
ston, John r. Strachan. R. Lindley
Murray, Clarence Grimm, G. c. Gamer
and Ella Fottrell, form squad OF
young players who are rapidly mount
ing to the highest ranks and these
players together with several others
Of more mature experience give q wide
field from which to select. From this
same combination q formidable dou-
bles pair might be formed. although
pairs already accustomed TO the neces-
sary team work, like Dean Mathey and
George M. Church, who surprised the
Davis Cup gallery by defeating Doust
and Dunlop, the Anstralasian reserver-
lists, are available and need but little
polish to make them of cup calibre.
Unless the other tennis playing ma
lions Of the world keep pace In the
development Of young players, L II
doubtful therefore II the next contest
for this Gun will witness the close and
thrilling play that developed In the
1914 struggle. An analysis Of the
Davis Cup records for the tournament
shows that the representatives OF the
seven nations which participated
played SIX rounds consisting Of thirty
matches: ninety-flte sets and nine
hundred games. With the exception
OF the British Observation-Disclosures and
the United Observation-Disclosures match
es all the rounds were one sided.
Brookes and Wilding after defanlling
two matches to the British Isles team
won seventy games to fofty-four and
defeated the United States one hum

10 Secretary Raposo Of the league, a
protest Of some sort has been filed.

New York In straight sets. The scores
were Ga, 6-2, Ga.
Most OF the generalship In the
match, as well as the weight of the de-
tense, fell on the shoulders Of Bundy.
Mclaughlin was unsteady and as Mat
hey and Church made Bundy the tar.
get Of their shots, the little Los An
geles player had his hands full. His
lobbing was always timely, his kills
were severe, and he placed ball after
ball at Mathews feet.
Although Mathey and Church had
been carefully coached for the match,
they seemed to have an attack of stage
fright. Their working plan, which
proved SO effective in Chicago. went to
pieces. They rushed about the court
at random and frequently got in one
another's way. although they showed
occasional flashes of ability to make
the champions extend themselves, es.
pecially in the first and third sets,
when they scored place after place.

THE war abroad which Rnyolved
] England has upset the elaborate
plans for a season Of amateur and
professional bouts far more ambitious
than anything heretofore attempted by
the British ring promoters. Several
new boxing stadiums were under CON
struction, the money being raised by
the sale of stock with ticket priyi
|leges. In fact there was every In
dicatfon Of boom in boxing which
would neeessitate firm handling Of
the situation by those who have con.
trolied the sport in past years. To
this end the National Sporting Club
had planned to cooperate with the
army and navy toward the formation
OF q board Of control to supervise all
reputable matches.
n The control board, had It been
formed, would have named referees
and officials whose Judgment could
not be appealed from. A ban would
also have been put on the kidney
punch and the spine Earring chop on
the back of the neck. which detract
rather than add to the science of box,
ing. Dishonest promoters would have
been denied recognition. The late
boxing boom gave promoters an ex
ceptional chance to foist ridiculous
matches on the public, and the real
sport element felt that something
should be done to put boxing on q
clean, sportsmanlike basis. =.

MARRIED MEN
Win GAME ON
PUNCHBOW WI

War ragged on the peaceful slope OF
Punchbowl Sunday last when, at
Pauoa park, the third game of a Sc
ries of FIVE between the single men"
and the married men, took place.
The game started at p. m. before
quite large number Of fans and fan
cites, with the result that the mar
ried men were the victors. The sin
gle men" were obliged to dig" into
their jeans and entertain the married
men To good time at their expense
Considerable rivalry existed between
the teams, making the game very In
teresting and exciting
The married men" after losing two
games in succession Immediately took
steps to patch up the weak spots in
their team with good material In the
persons Of Loui Noah, Mike Freitas
and Wilcox. The single men" also
had new material In their team, but
It did not work as effectively as they
expected. The married men" feel con-
tident that with the present team they
have will have nodiffieulty in carrying
OF the honors In the next two games
to be played, thereby becoming cham
pions Already a verbal challenge
has been given to the Single men"
for the next game, which will prob.
ably take place In the course OF two
weeks. The forrnalities OF written
challenges must be gone through,
however.
One OF the unusual features Of the
game which proved quite amusing
was sizzling bee-line drive which
went directly to Alfiague of the ''sin.
gle men" at shortstop. This drive
went with such q terrific force that
to stop 1t looked like suicide. AL.
Hague, however. did make an attempt
much to his regret, for the ball went
through his hands and struck his head
with a thud. Skyward went the ball
at right angle to its original course
and up went Alfiague's hands to his
head There was a Temporary sus-
pension and willing hands were in
the act of rendering first aid. but a
veil came from the crowd that his
head was made Of ssolid ivory"

proved too effective and worked with
dangerous results for rs men OF the
