LATTER MAKES GAME
TRY TO SQUARE MATCH
Winner Makes Best Score for
Lakewood Course Under
the Condition.

Playing the same excellent golf
which has characterized many of her
tournament appearances in the past,
Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow. the champion
of Philadelphia, won the chief cup in
the tournament for women at the Coun-
try Club of Lakewood yesterday by de-
feating Mrs. II. Reeve Stockton, Of
Plainfeld, UP and 3 to play.
There never was time when Mrs.
Barlow was in danger, although IL
looked for a while after the eleventh
as if Mrs. Stockton would accomplish
what was hitherto considered almost
impossible and actually draw level after
being Z down with seven holes to play
Mrs. Barlow, however, had obtained
such a commanding lead that she quick
ly snuffed out that idea on the M
teenth.
The Philadelphia woman won four
out of the first five holes, and increased
the advantage by one by the time the
turn was reached. Playing the short
holes over the brook in par figures, re
cording threes on each, Mrs. Barlow
became dormie 7. Evidently content
that she had the match clinched, she
grew careless, and Mrs. Stockton, never
beaten until the last putt is holed,
stuck nobly to her guns and won three
successive holes. II was merely pro-
longing the inevitable, for Mrs. Barlow
seiIing the opportunity her opponent
gave her in getting bunkered, won the
fifteenth and decisive hole in TO b.

on Alibi Evidence.

Charles Gondorf, King Of the Wire
Tappers," who has fought his way out
of the clutches of the law several
times, returned TO the Tombs prison
yesterday after spending several weeks
in Sing Sing lie is under sentence Of
from FIVE TO ten years on the charge Of
swinding Eugene Adams, an English
man, out of $4,000, and was brought

Rosenberg.
On Monday before Judge Swami his
motion for a new trial on the grounds
Of newly discovered evidence will be
argued. Gondorf claims that on the
afternoon Of the crime he is charged
with he was not with Eugene Adams,
but at the Office Of Marshall T.. Barney,
lawyer, at 1874 Nassau St, arranging
the formation of a concern known as
the Lighthouse Tire Company.
Gondorf says that Charles e. Light

High School Elevens
Clash in Big Games

teams Of Morris and De witt Clinton
line up on Manhattan Field this after
noon. The boys from The Bronx were
defeated by Commerce, but they have
good team. That Clinton was de-
feated by Stamford In most decisive
style has not disheartened the student
body. In practice scrimmages against
the eleven of stevens Institute, the
Clinton team has shown exceptional
ability, and not once but half q dozen
times has outplsyed the engineers. In
the last game Stevens was fortunate
60 win by single touchdown. So, who
ever Is victor to-day. the game is bound
to be interesting.
Boys High will offer some opposition
10 the eleven Of Erasmus Hall at Haw-
thorne Field. but there is only slight
chance Of its winning, at least, judging
from the ability IL has shown in pre-
vious games. There can be no doubt
that Boys High has improved in the
last week, but the eleven is not regard
ed quite up to the task of holding the
Flathush team in check.
Bay Ridge and st. Johns Prep will
fight il out 1T Bay Ridge Oval. This
looks like little more than hard work
out for the maroon team. Jack Bright
and the Karlson brothers bid fair to
add TO their regulations.

AyertS a Shut-Out.

The football eleven Of Adelphi Acad-

technic Preparatory School at Wash
ington Park yesterday afternoon. The
score was IA to 7, and those five thou
sand spectators who we're in attendance
left the grounds firmly convinced that
the better team won.
The score, however, does not fully
tell the story. Adelphi had an over
whelming attsck-an overpowering de-
fence. Loose handling of the ball pre-
vented the winners from piling the
score up higher.
Adelphi scored two touchdowns. One
Of these came in the first quarter, when
Al Love jammed his way through the
line from the 4-yard line. The other
came in the third period, when Leyser
slashed through the line from the l.
yard line. The cunning toe of Mcken-
zie added the extra points. Poly broke
through in the late minutes Of the third
quarter and scored its lone touchdown,
