A feature Of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Companys situation not dis
closed in the annual report is the fact
that between May 81 and July %, the

AS director put it, such a record
promptly refutes the idea generally
held in the north that the south is not
in well liquidated condition.
Collections. not only of the Virginia
company. but of other compa MES doing
business in the south. are much better
than any one had d.anticipated, and are
going far toward putting the south in

THE FINN SELECTED
AS BEST 1915 COLT
Hallenbeck's Thoroughbred Has
Run Some Sensational Races
for Youngster

At the beginning OF the season H. C.
Hallenbeck's 3-year-old ogden-Livonia
colt, The Finn, which he purchased from
John e. Madden. displayed such form as
to warrant his being selected as one of
the colts, If not the colt, of the year.
and by his manner OF winning the Man
haitian Handicap. in which he was giving
weight to everything. he is about to finish
the year with many partisans who will
assert that he is the best of his age.
Recently The Finn started in the Jerome
Handicap, at one mile. and was beaten
by the proverbial eyelash by Trial by
Jury, which appeared to have the better
of the racing luck. this being aided by an
unwilling mistake by Davies. the Jockey,
when he took The Finn back just before
getting to the stretch. Following this.
and after he had been several lengths out
OF II, The Finn came with wet sail and
just failed in getting up.
Many criticised Davies ride, for which
he was not blamed by the trainer OF the
horse, E. w. Heffner. who viewed IL as
one OF those things which occur in rae
ing. Although he was chagrined at his
horses defeat, Heffner laid no blame at
the door of the boy and stated that he
knew he was a good rider and one who
would obey orders, and that to show his
confidence In him he would give him an
early opportunity 10 make good.
At Havre de Grace the other day The
Finn was out OF the money, but he NAV
have been off edge.

Red Sox Favorites

In this next series the Red Sox un-
doubtedly Will be slight favorites. They
will be favorites because with their out
field and infeld combination on defense,
plus their pitching, they look to have
greater defensive strength. And because
they have harder hitting club.
But where this margin, club for club,
might be strongly in Bostons favor, it
Will be pruned down by the superexcel-
lence Of one great pltcher-Alexander
Those supporting the Phillies will do so
largely In the belief that Alexander can
do in 1915 what Mathewson did in 1905
win three games; and that Demaree Chal-
meTs or another Philly pitcher can at
tach the fourth. Or they are figuring
that Big Alec of the side-arm sweep will
bag at least two games and that his pals
will nail two more out of their four or
hve starts, bolstered up by the slugging
of Cravath and Luderus. They. will be
playing two or three men against an
entire club in the knowledge that two or
three stars before have been sufficient to
spin dizzy upset in a short match of
from four to seven games. But they will
have no chance to match the two clubs,
man for man, on copy paper and prove
the Philly machine is the better balanced
array.

GEDNEY FARM MEN
REBUILD GROUNDS
TOPROMOTE POLO
Indian Game to Be Popularized
as at Meadow Brook Club.
More Players In
terested
AMERICAN GAME DIFFERS

A step that will go a long way toward
popularizing polo has been taken by the
Gedney Farm Country Club, whose polo
playing members met and decided to re-
build the field adjoining the Gedney Farm
Hotel to conform to the requirements
Of the game as It is played In India,
the land of it's origin.
The Indian game of polo. which was
carried around the world by British army
officers, who learned it in the Orient,
will be played at Gedney Farm hereafter
instead of the American adaptation of
polo which prevails everywhere else in
this country except at Meadow Brook,
where the Indian game has been played
for three seasons.
The difference between the original
game of polo as It is played in India and
Europe and that played in America is in
the dimensions of the field and the ar
rangement of the periods or "chuckers."
The standard American polo ground Is 300
feet long and $50 feet wide The Indian
field is the same length but 30 feet mar
rover, a restriction which calls for bet
ter horsemanship and more sklful play
ing.
The American game is played i'm eight
periods of seven and one-half minutes
each, with rest of seven minutes after
the fourth "chucker" This makes It an
exceedingly fast performance for the
ponies and necessitates the maintenance
of a stable of from four to seven or eight
mounts by each player. Many polo players
in this country maintain that at least
seven ponies are required If the player
has any consideration for his horses at
all. The Indian game, however, is played
I'm seven "chuckers" of six and one-half
minutes each, with a 1O-minute interval
after the fourth period. Under these con-
ditions many British officers in India play
through the season. with only two ponies,
in climate that is much more trying
on the mounts than even the summer
climate of the United States

TRIUMPHS in FINAL
OVER MRS. C. F. FOX
National Golf Champion Scores
8 Up and 1 to Play in Ber-
thellyn Cup Test at
Noble
MATCH WELL CONTESTED

NOBLE. Pa, Sept. 25.-Mrs Clarence II.
Vanderbeck did what was expected of
her and defeated Mrs. Caleb f. Fox in
the final round of the Berthellyn Cup at
the Huntingdon Valley Country Club to-
day. 8 up and 1 to play.
1t was by no means a runaway affair
for Mrs. Vanderbeck and she had to play
her very best golf in order to win. Mrs.
Fox also played very fine golf. and time
and time again out-drove her opponent.
She threw away very few chances, and,
seeing that Mrs. Vanderbeck was out in
"a and home in 49, IL would have taken
miraculous golf to beat her.
The national champion won the first
hole when, after both had sliced their
drives, Mrs. Fox took three to get on
the green as against two. Two puts each
gave Mrs. Vanderbeck the hole, 4 to 8.
The second and third holes were halved
In skies. On the fourth hole Mrs. Van
derbeck missed her third shot and went
into the bunker and the hole cost her a
TO s. The fifth was halved in three,
both drying the green. Both drove
into the bunker on the sixth, but Mrs
Fox had very awkward lie and It cost
her two strokes. Mrs. Vanderbeck was
well out and won with to a Z.
Both got skies on the seventh hole, and
on the eighth Mrs. Fox missed her third
shot and was short with her fourth
Mrs Vanderbeck was well on I'm threO
and down in five to seven. With the
ninth halved in fves Mrs Vanderbeck
was two up at the turn. Mrs Wander
beck played a good shot out of the sand
on the third and secured a half in three.
On the 10th hole Mrs. Fox drove into the
creek with her second and lost her ball,
and this piece of bad luck cost her the
hole, six to five. On the 18th, Mrs Fox
lost grand chance for win by missing
a putt for three, but on the 18th she
did better and won, with FIVE TO a six,
when her opponent put her third in the
ditch. The 18th was halved in fours, and
on the 18th Mrs Fox put her second in
the creek and lost the hole, six to four.
Both were on the green In four on the
10th, but Mrs. Vanderbeck lost by taking
three puts to two, Mrs. Fox drove into
the rough on the 18th and failed to get
out with her second. She was in the pit
with her third and only just out with her
fourth. Mrs. Vanderbeck was on In three
and down in two more. giving her the
hole and match.
