TWAS GALA DAY
FOR BRAVES, But
NOT FOR PHILLIES
Boston Raises the Worlds
Championship Flag and
Wins Double Header.

Boston. May % The Boston Braves
to-day raised the worlds champion
ship flag captured from the Phila-
delphia Athletics last fall, and httingly
celebrated the occasion BY winning
both games OF a double header from
Philadelphia, and moving into the first
division.
The first game was won by score OF
5 TO 2. notwithstanding Tyler's wild
ness. Magees double, with three men
on bases, broke tie at the expense OF
Alexander, his former room mate.
The lead changed three times IN the
second game, which Boston took by a
score OF TO after using every ele-
mcnt of reserve strength. The lineup
was so changed by the introduction OF
pinch hitters during rally IN the
eighth inning that AT almost general
readjustment was necessary when the
team took the field in the ninth.
A home run by Crsvath over the left
field fence. running one-hand eaten
by Connolly in the ninth inning that
probably saved another tie score, and
the fielding Of Magee were features OF
the second contest.

Partridge Wins a Golf
Medal on Tuxedo Links
High Wind and a New Hole
Hamper Game of Fifty
two Starters in In.
vitation Tourney.

Under scoring conditions that were
difficult owing TO a new eighth hole
being put in commission and a stiff
wind, Dwight Partridge, of Bedford,
won the medal in the qualifying round
of the invitation tournament at the
Tuxedo Golf Club yesterday with Il
score o. 70. II was the only total less
than so. and there were tifty-two start
ers.
In view Of the rather small field,
which was none the less classy, it was
possible 20 run off the medal rounds
early, 50 that late in the day the eliml-
nation process began. Partridge sur
vived, however, thereby breaking the
cable OF habit established in all the
tournaments up 10 now.
Partridge's opponent was Malcolm
McBurncy. OF Westbrook. and the first
named, whose only fault in the early
round was al occasional lapse on the
greens. found himself inclined TO Wild
mes. but managed 20 get himself
Strengthened out by the time the turn
was reached. lie became up at the
eleventh and finally won 3 up and ,

member Of the Harvard golf team, but
OF late years has done little.
James r. Hyde. of South Shore. a
brother Of the metropolitan champion,
and John y. Stearns, Sd. Of Nassau, had
q great battle, Hyde finally winning on
the nineteenth hole. Stearns has
played 30 few times this season that
his game showed the effects Of lack Of
practice. Even so, ne worked himself
INTO the comfortable position Of up
and only three holes 20 play. when

some WARY OF Y.M.C.A.
ARE WONDERING WHO ELECTED
THE YOUNG MAN SECRETARY.
Contributors Think They Ought to
Have Something to Do With
Running the Enterprise.

Contributors Think They Ought to
Have Something to Do With
Running the Enterprise.
There is a rumbling, disturbing
undercurrent in the minds of some
of the recent contributors of the Y.
M. c. A. movement started in Daw-
son few weeks ago.
Those interested in the enterprise
| met in the court house and perfected
a temporary organization by appoint
ing a committee to solicit funds,
which committee succeeded in rails
ing a subscription amounting to
about $3.50. A few days later one OF
the young men who came to Dawson
to promote the enterprise established
himself as secretary and treasurer or
the enterprise with offices in the
municipal building over the fire de-
partment, and began calling for the
payment of the subscriptions. And
the question that is puz"ling some OF
the contributors is who elected the
secretary and treasurer and whether
or not they should have a say in the
control of the organization.
1t is said by those who claim to
know about such matters that a
Young Mems Christian Association,
with sufficient financial aid properly
directed, is a good thing for any
! town, but it is also said by those who
should know that it would require
at least $500 yearly to keep up the
expenses of a Y. NJ. C. A, and that
it looks foolish for even self-ap-
pointed secretary to attempt the job
on such a meager subscription of
$3.50, and it is generally predicted
that the organization with such a
small capital is scheduled for only
few weeks with much trouble
ahead for somebody-probably those
who contributed the $3.50.
1t is not the purpose of The News
| to knock the Y. NJ. c. A. organiza-
ton, but is rather inclined to en-
courage the promotion of it's organi-
zation if done on the proper basis,
and we are just giving the current
comment as it comes to us for what
it is worth.
If sufficient financial backing is
guaranteed the movement can sue
coed, but what is the use of squan-
dering a few hundred dollars in pay
ing the salary of the secretary of an
enterprise which looks like it is pre-
maturely born?
