a striking actually.
But Cornell was not the only college
which earned more than the general
average OF honors, as Harvard, with
four minor sports championships and a
claim shared with Brown, Tufts and
the Army TO the title in baseball, com
pleted a year that was not unkind TO
the wearers OF the Crimson, despite the
fact that its football eleven lost one
game TO Cornell and its crew was
beaten for the second year in success
sion by Yale, which captured the
premier rowing honors for the first
time in many years.
Most surprising of the years happen
ings was the sweep of Cornell through
the football season. IL is still so soon
after the close of the last game that
the facts, perhaps, need not be re-
counted, but no review would be com
plete without making mention that Cor
nell was undefeated and had TO its
credit n victory by the score OF 10 to .
over Harvard's supposedly invincible
eleven.
As TO the ranking Of the elevens, the
task is by no means an easy one after

Looking backward through the year
now closing, it only takes glance 10
show that in a golf way, at least, 1919
accomplished little toward developing
rev championship material. This more
particularly applies to the three ma
tional tournaments-the amateur, open
and womens. All these were won by
seasoned opponents of the game.
Jerome d. Travers, the Upper Mont
clair player, won the open title at
Baltusrol. and if his success came as a
surprise it was only because OF MS
being an amateur. These national open
titles are as good as conceded before
hand 20 some professional, me Gay
other instance of an amateur gaming
the coveted honor being in 1913, whe1
Francis Ouimet defeated Nardon ana
Ray in that famous play-otf at BROOK
line.
Before Travers teed up Cor the open
he had won the amateur title on four
different occasions. In the opinion OF
many he had seen his best days as j
golfer. vet with characteristic pluck
and determination Jerry led one OF the
strongest fields ever assembled IN
America. Il takes concentration ana
study to triunph over the mental as
well as actual hazards encountered
during seventy-two holes CT champion
shin medal play where every stroke
means so much.
When the last putt had been holed
and the winner carried off on the
shoulders of his friends II was found
that the amateurs margin was only
a single stroke over Tom Mcnamara,
the Boston homebred whose steadiness
has earned him at one time or another
nearly all the important open titles
except the national
Mcnamara, however. like Walter Ha-
gen, the previous winner, Francis Oui-
met In 1913 and John J. McDormo'.
twice prior TO that. did his share tow
ard keepirg the homcbrcd talent TO the
fore. The fact that for five consecu-
tive open meetings the resident pros
have been beaten off by the native born
plavers speaks volumes for the stand
ard Of excellency attained by the Amer
icars
When the amateurs gathered at the
Country Club OF Detroit the latter part
of August for the amateur tournament
Travers was fancied by many TO add
TO his laurels. Even so. Francis
Ouimet and Charles ". Evans, IT.. had
large followings. and the fact that all
three were brushed aside by players

still further the uncertainties Of this
elusive game. Evans took his medi-

everybody took notice. and when he

task had been completed Gardner'5
exceptionally long game proved too
much for John G.. Anderson in the de-
cisive test. 1t was back in 1909 that
Gardner first won the amateur title.
Before the Detroit tournament he had
changed 70 the Vardon grip. and il
may be that this had something 20 do
with the general improvement in his
game. which was better in all depart
ments than at any previous time in

size has speedway in course OF con-

see about two speedways In 1916 for

During 1915 there were twenty-five
events on roads and speedways and
Gfty-nine on dirt tracks In the United
States Il Is estimated that the sum
Of s2s2. 900 was divided in prizes. About
three hundred drivers started In these
events. and ten Of them gathered in
nearly 100000. twenty-five others di-

REV. l.. BRAUER'S FLOCK
DELEGATES NEW CHURCH

When Judge r. L. King In the
district court last October ruled
that the Rev. l.. Brauer, pastor of
the German Evangelical church at
Shady Brook had been legally GUST
ed from his charge, Mr.. Brauer and
the old friends who chung to him
during his contention said that they
would build their own church and
worship with Rev. Brauer as their
leader. Last Sunday the new church
which Mr.. Brauer and his congre-
CATION will occupy, one mile west
and one mile south of Shady Brook,
was dedicated. 1t will be known as
st. Paul's Lutheran church. The
Rev. Kretzschmar Of Minnesota

ing. In the afternoon, the Rev.
Herman Rooster, pastor of the Luz
theran church at Harrington preach
