'BYERS DEFEATS
 CHARLES EVANS

Manchester, vt, Sept. 2-The first of the favorites for the national anna teur golf title was eliminated in the first round of match play on the Elk wanok Links. yesterday afternoon when Charles Evans, Jr., of Edgewater western champion in 1911 and a prom inent figure in the recent open cham pionship tournaments, was defeated by Eben M. Byers of the Allegheny Country club, Pittsburgh, national champion in 1906 and runner-up in 1902 and 1s03 by. the score of up
 Byers won largely because of his ability to play his approach shots dead. At the turn he was in the lead, 2 up, hut Evans pulled up even on the twelfth when Byers missed a short putt Once more the Pittsburgh man three at the fifteenth hole against four for Evans.
 At the seventeenth hole Byers got into difficulties, and the figures here were only approximated, when he picked up his ball, conceding the hole to Evans. Byers topped his drive and went into the ditch In trying to ex- tricate himself he succeeded only in entangling himself still further, and after six strokes he conceded the hole to Evans, who was in a position to make it in five.
 The match was settled on the eigh- teenth hole, where Evans also topped his drive and failed to reach the, fair way. His attempt to play short of the ditch with his iron failed, and although he made pretty play out Byers took the hole and the match.

GIANTS APPEAR
 CONFIDENT ON
 RETURN HOME

A series, which should flood a gold en stream of ducats into the coffers of the Ebbets- McKeever syndicate in Brooklyn, and should have an i'm portant bearing on this wonderful Na- tionaI League race, will open in Flat bush today. when the Giants and Su- perbas mingle in their first tilt of q six-game set.
 Double-headers are on the slate for tomorrow and Saturday, and when the week is over, there is likely to be a. big ing While the Giants have these six quarrels in Brooklyn, the Braves have five games billed with the Phils-
 Early in the campaign. the Braves were pie for the Phils, and beat them eight out of twelve games. The Giants, many of whom attended the Yankee Detroit scrap on the Polo Grounds yes terday, are willing to venture the sug- gestions that they will do more dam age to the Dodgers than the Braves will do to the Phi11ies-
 The Giants are far from being dis heartened over their woozy showing early in their Western trip, and they are a rather cocky bunch. It looks as though the fold confidence.' as Mo- Czra.w calls it, has returned to the job. The Giants point with pride to the fact that they have lost only one game of their last S1xs as g. sign that they. are back on the right traih That defeat was sustained by a. 1-to-o score.
 They also point to the great pitch ing MattE, Marquard, Tesreau and De- maree have have shown in their last starts, and are convinced that with the pitchers. in form the chance to cut a.n- other Worlds Series melon looks much better than any time in the last three weeks.
 Another point which the Giants seem to think is i'm their favor is that Boston could not pass them, though at the start of the trip they played their poorest sEeall in years However, it is we'll to remember that Boston has vhftt1ed a three and a. half lead down to a half game while both teams were in the wild and woody country.

BOLTS POUND
 STEVE WHITE

The Bolts clambered back into third place yesterday by defeating New Ha- ven while the Senators were losing to Springfield. The Bolts scored ali their runs in the sixth and were never after in danger. Tomorrow they tackle Gene McCann's team in the Whaling Town and they are confident of vtc- tory. Dick Tuckey is slated to work for the locals. The following is the story of yesterdays game as seen by the New Haven Journal Courier:
 Bridgeport got busy in the sixth. Stow lined to Ruegg in center field for the first out. Bowman singled sharply over second base. Senno then scratched g. hit to White and Bowman moved up to second base. Pope just managed to touch Ha11- mans liner, filling the bases. White was unable to locate the plate and Bowman scored from third. Ems pop ped to Miller for. the second out. Tier ney's ground ball was thrown wild to first base by White and two more Bridgeporters scored. Crook followed with a double to left and .Tierney counted. Blum famed and the fun was over. Score:

WAHOO SAMUEL'S STICK WINS ONCE
 MORE FOR TIGERS

They did not pass sammy Crawford, the Detroit bad man, with malicious intent on the Polo lawn yesterday, neither did Wahoo Samuel slap out any home runs. The waIloping ton sorial artist contented himself with dropping a feeble single between NTessrs. Gree and FIartzelI in the third round, which happened to score Oscar Witt.
 Vitt,s marker did not appear par hcularly dangerous at the time, but when the returns were in 1t was dis covered that Sammy had again knock ed in the winning run. The Tigers evened the series by a score of to 2. As the Red Sox twice bowled over the rapidly fading St. Louis Brownies the Yankees strengthened their title on sixth place, despite their own re- verse.
 There was little to, get in a frenzy over at yesterdays Harlem ball game. as nothing much happened. Neither side compiled an error, but there were no fancy stops, nor any glittering plays The climax of the game came in the eighth round, when Marty Me Hale issued one of those intentional passes to Oscar Stanage, so he might get at young pitcher, Bill Reynolds. who had just whiffed three times. |, AGcHale and Bill had quite a battle, and both lads forced the old horsehide to take all sorts of deceptive twists and curves Reynolds is new bird, recently imported into the American league, and seems to have an abund- ance of class McHale was stung rathR CT hard early in the strife, but he held the Ee-yahs to three hits in the last six rounds

BILLY GARRFTY
 MAY MANAGE THUNDERB0LTS

The fotoball season will soon be With us and challenges and calls to practice will be swamping the sport ing editors offices all over the coun- try Yesterday three calls to meet ings were published in the columns of The Farmer. The F'airmounts and the Pequots, two old time amateur teams have already declared their in- tentions of again performing upon the gridTon. The Thunderbolt team, for years the pride of Bridgeport will no doubt be in the running for the state championship according to all reports Several names have already been men toned as managers of the team among them being Harry Quinn, Kecko. and Billy Garrfty. Garrity is the well known East Side restaurant keeper and many of the rooters of the<green and white believe that Billy could develop a crack-a-jack eleven. Whether or not he would accept is a question as Billy. has a great deal of other business on his mind.
 Harry Quinn has had g, great deal of experience in handling eIevens and the big fellow if he took a notion might accept the honor.
 A team could be developed in this city that could cop the state cham pAonship and it is wrong for the local boys to have to go out of town and play with the upstate eleyens. Foot ball was always a paying%oropositfon in this city. The Thunderbolts could have the pick of Bridgeport in the following men: Iavery, Baker, Hal apin. Rock, Moshfer and Eddie Rielly, if the right party was at the helm.
 Some wfdl say it is rather early to talk football and will tell you to wait until the baseball season is over Nix on that stuff. make hay while the sun shines Get the boys in the corral. elect a manager. and he will. do the rest.

John Bonds quarters in Stratford and he is in the pink of condition. As for the outcime of a, return match with Chip, the latter is picked to win gby several experts, but read what Dan has to say:
 Sporting Editor Farmer Dear Sir:-AI Mccoy, the middle weight champion, who knocked out George Chip in one round without half trying, is rounding into form at Strat- ford, Conn Mccoy is working hard with Battling LeEins<y, and the pub lie will see a great middlewetght end a real champion when Mccoy starts fighting. which will be in September He intends to go right down the line whipping all the so-caIled middle weight champions George Chip has been yelling for a return match with the boy who won. the championship p from him.

century. Mrs. Zerrenner remembers
when she was little girl her father,
Nicholas Won Claim, had farm, only
81 years ago, located in what is now
the very heart of Manhattan.
1t might be asked how Mrs. Ter
renher is able to maintain farm on
such valuable ground?
If the annual rental was fixed to
cover the taxes, it would be fraction
over $5,035 annually. And what
farmer could afford such a rent bill?
Mrs. Zerrenner is able to maintain
farm on these gilt-edged city lots
because she only has to pay, in cash,
something like $135 a year, which is
distributed among some of the va
rlous plot owners; to others she gets
her rent for keeping the sidewalks
free from ice and snow in the winter,
and clear of weeds and leaves in the
summer. She has no regular lease,
but lives from month to month with
the understanding that the property
is subject to being taken away from
her for building purposes at any time.
"The boys and 1 will try it again
this year, but who knows if that will
be the last in this locality, and we
have been so happy here these many
years." says Mrs. Zerrenner. ITO
think that this is the last of many
farms that were formerly located on
Manhattan Island!"
