land in Bowling Match.
The Make-ups made the Floor Men look
like "picas" in the bowling contest held
by the EVENING LEDGER League on the
Terminal runs last night, the former
sizing UP their opponents three straight
games. The Floor Men had flung off
their coats and sworn vengeance on the
Make-ups, but hopes never materialized.
In the first game, just to show now
well they could not bowl, the Floor Men
lost out by 30 pins In the second game,
IN order to really demonstrate their SUI
perior skill, the Make-ups got busy, and
when the rattle of the pins subsided,
their poor misguided opponents were eX-
actly 1870 pins in arrears.
The final game-completing the white
wash-was q runaway, as the Make-ups
had a lead of 157 pins on the game.
Agate" Baker was the high man of the
night for the Make-ups, with ls6 pins to
his credit. ''Nonparel" Simpson, Two

"Twelve-point" Ebbert, his teammates,

FEW APPLY FOR
AMATEUR GOLF
CHAMPIONSHIP
Big Contest Will Probably
Go to Detroit Country
Club or Oakmont Club, of
Pittsburgh, Says Report.

IN direct contrast to other years. the
United States Golf Association has re-
eefved but few applications for the next
amateur championship. As rule half
dozen or more clubs apply for the
meeting, and the committee in charge of
that end OF the business has little trouble
IN deciding between them. The champion
ship next year will be held IN the middle
West, and the clubs most favored are
ths oal1mont Country Club, Pittsburgh.
and the Detroit Country Club. 1t is highly
probable that the next time the event is
hsld in the East. Philadelphia viii be the
scene. and as we have several courses OF
championship class. there should be no
reason why the application OF one OF
them should not be accepted.
The open championship is due to be held
n the East next year, and In an likelihood
ems OF the clubs in the metropolitan dis
trsct viii be the scene OF this important
event The Women's national champion
ship win be held IN the West, and Phila-
deIphis win be the scene or the women's
Eastern championship and the GriscOm
Cup matches. 1t is quite likely that the
Lesley Cup matches Will be played in
Philadelphia as wei.
Along this line Il would be a good idea
Tor the United States Golf Association to
follow the plan OF our British cousins.
The scene OF a British championship Is
known several years In advance OF the
meeting, so there Is no hurry and hustle
at the last minute TO get the courses in
shape. or course, on the other side the

PERSONAL TOUCHES in SPORTS

Connie Mack announced at noon today
that Eddie" Collins considered the
brainiest man in baseball today, and who
has been a member of the Athletics since
1906 had been sold to Charles ComIskey's
Chicago club. When Connie talked over
the telephone this morning he stated the
consideration would not be made public
at this time The sale of Collins fol-
lowed the. secret conference held at the
Bellevue Stratford last Sunday-account
of which was published exclusively In the
EVENING LEDGER yesterday-when Mack
Comskey and others attended. The fans
have become more or less accustomed ~
unusual announcements by Connie lately,
but this latest bit of news is unquestion-
ably the most important yet made.
The fact that the University OF Pennsylvania
football team OF 1914 voted that George
Brooke was incompetent as a coach was IN
startling lack Of tact, an oyeIpowering igno-
brutal desire to humilate a fellow creature.
But worse than that was the true motiXe az

not one OF them would have had the nerve TO
do individually. There isn't man on the Red
and Blue squad, Il is to be hoped, who would

would print what he said, and tell that same
