Columbia Pitcher Allows
Visitors Only Two Hits
Fans Eight Men.

Columbia scored another shutout
yesterday, when il defeated Colgate on
South Field by a score OF TO 0. Two
hits we're all that the upstate team
could squeeze out Of Beck, Columbia's
southpaw. and only four Of the visitors
reached first base. None Of them was
able to penetrate beyond second.
Even minus the services of Charley
Ham, who sat on the bench with his
head swathed in bandages as result
of his accident on Saturday, COLUMBIA
played championship ball Harry
Buncke covered Hams regular posi-
ton at first base, and in addition to
fielding faultlessly cracked out MY -,
Hicks, who pitched for Colgate, had
the Columbia batters guessing Tor the
first two rounds, but after that ne
weakened, and Columbia pushed three
runs across in the fourth, and MADE
sure of the game in the sixth by
adding another tally for good measure
Hicks was inclined to be wild and gave
four bases on balls despite the TACT
that he famed eight men.

rank. Beck struck out nine men and
didn't give a base on balls. Aside from
two clean singles to centre the Colgate
batsmen were able TO drive only two
balls 10 the outfeld, The only nav
in Beck's work was the hitting OF Rob

Although Colgate made four errors
only one Of them figured materially IN
the result. That was in the sixth, inn

Sandstone, a Son of Rock

Stable Dies at
Jersey Farm.

August Belmont will not race any OF
his thoroughbreds at the coming
Havre de Grace meeting, and it is eX-
tremely unlikely that the silks of the
chairman of the Jockey Club will ap-
pear at the Pimlico course. 5. c. Hill
dreth, who is in charge of the Belmont
racers. said yesterday that he preferred
to give his horses a slow and carefol
preparation for the campaign in this
state.
"There will be plenty of racing in
New York State" he said, "and ! think
it best to wait until the Belmont Park
opening. Last year ! sent the Belmont
horses to the races early IN the spring,
and when it came to the fall meetings
in Maryland Flittergold was the only
horse which was in good racing con-
dltion."
Hildreth has eighteen thoroughbreds
under his care at Sheepshead Bay, and
lovers of country sport will be
interested to learn that Mission is
back in training. This mare wrenched
herself in the Whitney Memorial
Steepechase Handicap at Piping Rock
last June and was thrown out OF train
ing. Previous to that she had demon
strated her ability as timber-topper
by capturing the Sportsmen's and Inter-
national Steeplechase Handicap.

MAYER LOSES HIS
FIRST GAME AS PRO
Former National Amateur Bill
lard Champion Bows to
Cutler at Doyle's.

Albert G. Cutler defeated Joseph
Mayer. the former national amateur
billiard champion, in the latter's first
profess ional engagement yesterday at
ternoon. at Jack Doyle's billiard acad-
envy, on Forty-second Street, by score
of 200 points to 1873 in fourteen innings.
The men are playing a match OF
5000 points ut 1872 balkline, 200 points
every afternoon and 300 in the even
ings, finishing up on Saturday night.
Mayer won the bank and counted
only points before falling down on
an easy draw shot. Cutler gathered
10 points in his first time at the table,
but thereafter both men got their
strokes under control. Mayer assumed
the lead with a pretty run Of AZ on his
second turn and held his advantage
until the seventh inning, when Cutler
clicked off a total of 81. sending the
balls around the table IN making the
high run of the game.
Mayer was not daunted by his oppo-
nent's showing and ran SO points IN
his ninth inning and 81 in the twelfth,
mostly compiled by nursing tactics
along the rail, and this last run caused
him to forge into the lead, with 1873
points to Cutters 175. Both missed in
the thirteenth inning, and then Mayer
gathered Is points by open table play
before failing to count, with only two
points needed to win.
Cutler soon drew the worries to-
gether. and then proceeded to run out
his string with an unfinished run Of %
points, giving him the lead in the first
block. Both players complained that
the balls we're cold" and bumped, but
at the evening session the conditions
were better.

The strangest part Of the national
tournament now running is the absence
of match games. IL well illustrates
that the absence of star bowlers who
are allied with alley interests, although
lacking in spectacular effect, tends low
ard a cleaner game.
Clifford Van Buskirk, who is rapidly
developing into one of Hackensack's
hest golfers, was spectator yester-
day. He came down to watch the
Ridpefeld Park representatives take a
sbv at titles. While the Jerseymen are
good bowlers, they took shy and
SHE'D.
It is generally understood that the
1916 tournament of the National Bowl
ing Association Nill return TO New
York. although there is possibility OF
it being held in one Of the nearby
places. The point is that the alley
owners will have one more chance to
be good.
When William II. Valentine, presi-
dent of the New York Bowling Associa-
ton, spoke at Sundays convention, he
told of the plans of the local organiza-
ton to run of the metropolitan cham
pionship tournament in the fall or the
year. Ever since this fixture has been
running this plan has been advocated
by those who like to see the bowling
season begin with bang"
It is not an easy task 10 figure up
the nine game averages of each of the
several hundred bowlers, but despite
this numerical handicap, Major Gage
has determined the standing Of the first
five leaders up TO and including Sun
days bowlers.

The Wherefore Of the Thrill.

The opening of the means more to us than
we first thought. Not because Of any abnormal thrill,
but because we don't believe we could possibly wait
another day to hear some fan give war whoop when
an Indian came to bat; to hear fan yell "Sign
him" when spectator catches a foul poked into the
stand.
These are two original delicaces of humor that we
can do without no longer-and which undoubtedly
account FOR the deep yearning have to see the first
ball pitched
