ROoR SHORE RESORT BUSINESS.


 If there are any business men who have real reason to find fault 1t Is those who are conducting shore re- sorts. The weather has been bad for them, their patrons are less in num- Der than in former years, the money has positively refused to roll in and the end of the season will in all prob ability find the most of them out of pocket. Whenever there has been a pleasant Sunday the traffic has been heavy on the trolleys and the seaside places have had their full complement of visitors, but those days have been very irregular and as a. result the profits of one day go to meet the ex- penses of the one following. This seems to be true everywhere, as even Coney Island. which has had as many as 25o,o00 visitors on some Sundays, is having poor season as general thing.
 It is claimed that in some places the regular visitors have turned up as usual. but that beyond the board bill there Is very little money expended and the fellow who runs the flying horses, the various games of chance without which the seaside would be dull place. as we'll as those who run teaxns. autos and boats say that it is a dull season. All place the blame however, on the weather, for when it isn't raining it is cloudy or cool and the shore is the last place a, person wishes to visit. The baseball magnates also are complaining, first because of the pools which they said detracted from the real interest of the game. but when the pools were interfered with by the authorities the war came along and they will find it an easy task to count the profits at the end of the season when it is expected that the old routine will once more De established and business be good again. If the old war would cease tho revival would be speedy Every thing is ready for it, the crops being of the best and money at hand to meet the expense of removing them.

GARDNER WHITE WINS
OVER FRANCES OUIMEI

Greenwich, Conn, Sept "a - An
other defeat for Francis Ouimet, of
Brookline, Mass. the national golf
champion. was the feature of the final
rounds of play in the invitation golf
tournament at the Greenwich Country
Club to-day.
In the semifinal round for the
beaten eight of the leading division,
Ouimet gave splendid exhibition
when he won from r. II. White, of
Oakland. l.. l.. by 6 and 4. In the af-
ternoon, however, when he met Gard
ner w White, of Flushing, l.. l., the
champion was never better than even
at any stage, and was beaten up and
y. The winner was in great form,
barring the missing of a very short
putt on the twelfth green, and the
clinching shot of the match was his
sinking of a 25-foot putt on the fit-
teenth for a half in three, which made
him dormie The next hole was halv-
ed in fives and the match ended right
there Ouimet got good direction from
the tees during the round, but he was
weak on the green's.

Buck" Boyle Quits;
Treatment Was Cool
Special TO The Telegraph

Philadelphia. Sept. 24.-Men back
of the Philadelphia National League
baseball team have overlooked anoth-
er good bet.
George Buck Boyle. the best first
baseman the Tri-State League has
had in years. left for his home in AL
lentown, disguised at the shabby
treatment accorded him by the Phil
lies during his trial here this week.
In an effort to strengthen the Phil
lies, the Allentown club turned Boyle
over to them under unusually gener-
Gus conditions. Boyle was to show his
skill in morning pratice here at no
cost to the Phillies. In case he caught
the fancy of the Phillies chief, Allen
town agreed to sell him to President
Baker for the waiver price of $1,000,
but if he didn't come up to the latter s
standard. the Phllies would not be
out a nickle.
Boyle came here Tuesday morning
and said he received a cool reception.
He did a little light drill. but nobody
asked him to go to first and see how
he could cover the bag.
He was surprised at the lack of in
terest, as he believed the club wanted
to look him over. The same condi-
uons prevailed yesterday. Other play
ers and officials brushed by Boyle as
if he was bat boy and made no at
tempt to see what he could do.
This was too much for Boyle. who
quickly changed his clothes and lift
for Allentown without saying good
by to anybody at Broad and hunting
don.
Boyle is a youth, but fans who have
watched him play in the Tri-State
League declare him to be the most
wonderful first .baseman the circuit
has ever had. He is lightning field
er and his stops and brainy plays have
electrified fans. Boyle is also a good
hitter. Experts say that good man
ager could make a second Stuffy Nc
Innis out of him.
Boyle is lost to the Phils now. but
he probably will shortly land with a
major league club that is net afraid
to give a youth trial.
Kavanaugh and Burns are two 9TH
er players that obtained berths else
where because of the inattention the
local clubs give to local and nearby
players.

Boston Braves Strong
in National Race

Boston. Mass. Sept 24.-The law of
averages gives the Boston Nationals
a decisive advantage over the New
York Giants. and repetition of the
past two weeks happenings will make
the Braves prohibitive favorites over
the three-time champions of the Ma
tional League. By virtue of their vic
tory over the Pittsburgh team, the
Braves gained 6ne full game on the
New York team. for the latter was un-
able to score on Vaughn, and conse-
quently went down to defeat before
Chicago.
Four games now separate the teams
and only nineteen games remain un-
played by the Braves with one less
for New York.
Assuming that the Giants win all of
their remaining games-a decidedly
improbable happening - the Braves
would win the pennant by capturing
fifteen. Since returning from the West
StallinE's men have travelled at fast
gait and there seems no reason why
the team should not advance into the
worlds series.

TWO FEDS SORRY

= Not Get Because of Their Ac-
~ tions; Both Were Stars

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 24.-There
are at least two Feds who regret their
jumping from the major ranks, Vim
Campbell and Bill Rariden. outflelder
and catcher, now playing with the In
dianapolis team of the Federal
League.
These players. according to friends,
are kicking themselves all over the
baseball field.
Those two, both stars. last year were
the property of the Boston National
League club. Campbell didn't play in
1913, having quit the national meeting
in a huff the previous season. AT the
beginning of this season. he was i'm
portuned by George Stallings, the
Braves manager, to join the club.
Rariden. though, caught the majority
of Bostons games last year and was
ranked as one of the best receivers
in the National League.
During last winter Federal League
agents whispered offers into the ears
of both Campbell and Rariden. They
listened and began to fall. as the Fed
agent named sums much in excess of
the salaries they were receiving at
Boston.
Boston last year was a down and
outer with no show of getting into
the worlds series money. And the
prospects for 1914 were not much
brighter AT the IIIle tne new league 5
agents were after Rariden and Camp
bell. And so ii was not strange that
Rariden and Campbell should jump to
the outlaw circuit with a chance to
make more money.
But now, with the Boston Braves
knocking the props from under the
Giants and being picked by many to
win the National League flag, it's a
different thing-much different Rari-
den and Campbell groan every time
they pick up a paper and read that
Boston has won another game.
