Webb. j. G. Milburn jr.. and j. A.
Trail, the substitute English back The
challenging four won by total score OF
liz to 80 goals. Owing to the marked
change in weather the game was called
after six periods.
The Nottingham players displayed good
team and combination work. Lockett
and Barrett were particularly effective
with long drives. while Lord Wimborne
and Tompkinson centered much of their
time in quick rushes. which resulted in
goals regardless of defense in the fifth
period. Milburn was struck on the right
elbow by Tompkinsons mallet and was
compelled to retire, William G. Devereux

place.
The British team may possibly put in

be in condition to play Saturday. If so.
he will take some light practice Thurs
day or Friday.

GETS POOR SUPPORT
And EngeI Loses to st. Louis
by 3 to 4.
DOUBLE PLAYS COSTLY
Browns Make Two and Eliminate
Nationals Opportunities
to Win.
BY J. ED GRILLO.

CHICAGO. June 1O.-The third defeat
Of the series in St. Louis was encoun-
tered yesterday, and. like the two pre-
ceding 1t, was by the small margin of
one run. Misplays caused the loss, for
had Joe Engel been properly supported
he would have won his game
Two runs are all the Browns should
have gotten OFF Engel, and these came
in the very first inning. when. after
Austin had been walked. Pratt hit a
high. fly into the right-field bleachers,
which are not very far away from the
home plate.
There was another home run charged
against Engel, but had Milan been play
ing center instead of Moelier 1t would
have been an out. The run which won
the game for the Browns was contrib
uted by Morgan. With two out and q
man on second in the fifth Morgan FUN
bled a grounder hit right at him, and
lost SO much time in recovering the ball
that the runner came all the way home
from second.
AS has been the case in all the games
the Nationals have lost here the Browns
got off in front, only to be caught by
the visitors. Yesterday the score stood
2 to 0 up to the third, when an error by
Pratt gave Henry a life and Engel was
walked: both scored on Fosters long
triple to right. There we're other chances
for runs later, but a couple Of double
plays which the Browns turned undoubt-
edly saved them.

CRACK GOLFERS GET
BACK FROM CUP QUEST
Herreshoff and Evans Have No Ex-
cuses for Failure to De-
feat British.

NEW YORK, June 10.-Declaring they
had no excuse to offer for their show
ing in the British amateur golf cham
pionship at Sandwich, Charles w.
Evans, jr.. Of Edgewater. and Fred
erick Herreshoff of Garden City. re-
turned to their native shores yesterday
on the North German Lloyd liner Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie. Mrs. Herreshoff &C
Icompanied her husband.
Although Evans did not hesitate to
say he believed the British system of
running off eighteen-hole matches in
all but the final was not productive Of
the better golf. Herreshoff preferred
not to be quoted on the subject, ex-
|cept to say he believed the thirty-six
hole route would be more acceptable
If practicable.
I'VE have had a most delightful time, "
said Herreshoff at the Waldorf Astoria
last night. Our British cousins extend
ed to all Americans every courtesy and
consideration and did everything to
make our stay most enjoyable
Travers Not in Form.
Il was with jerome Travers con-
stantly. and he failed to go further
simply because he did not play the
necessary good golf. That was all there
was to it.
I'VE sailed from France direct to
America, and l have played so much
golf that l doubt II 1 shall play again
until another month or two have
passed. OF course. shall be at Ekwanok
for the national amateur championship
in September. 1 did not stay in England
for the open championship for business
reasons. Travers will be home next
week."
Evans said he was rather surprised
that Francis Ouimet, the amateur who
won the national open championship,
did not last longer.
Ouimet Good in Flashes.
In the French championship at La
Boulie,' said Evans "Ouimet showed
flashes of what he is capable Of doing,
but at no time in England was he in
his true form. I've had a great time,
despite my hurry, and 7 plan to par
pionship next month, as we'll as in the
national amateur championship at Elk
wanok."
Both Herreshoff and Evans looked the
picture of health and declared they
never felt better. Evans was accom-
panied by his mother. Mrs. Charles
Evans, his faithful follower in all his
championship matches. She had never
been abroad before. Evans will go west
in day or two. and may play a round
on some of the courses near this city
with friends before going.
