SCRATCHING OF HORSES
INJURIES BELMONT RACES

New York. June 6.-Racing at Bel
mont Park will be dealt a crushing
walIop IL the management doesn't put
a stop to the practice OF scratching.
During the past week so many horses
have been scratched from the different
races that there was little interest in
the events. One race, which had eight
starters originally. simmered down to
a two-horse affair. Another race was
run with three starters
The only explanation for the big
amount of scratching is that the own
ers of so-called selling platers don't
care to race their horses against heavy
favorites. feeling that 1t is just a waste
of effort. However. they enter their
horses for the races, the crowd notices
the big number OF entries. goes to the
track with the anticipation of seeing
a good race and is bunked by seeing
q two, three or four horse affair.

HIGH SALARIES PAID
IN COLONIAL LEAGUE

The Colonial League. for minor or
Ganization affiliated with the Federal
League. ranks as the highest salared
minor league in baseball history.
That's because the Fed magnates have
turned over to the Colonial clubs some
of the stars that were grabbed from
organized baseball and who have slip
ped backward.
The Fed magnates. however. will
save money by making the switch.
even though they must continue TO pay
the big salaries to those men. If there
wasn't a Colonial League those stars
would have to sit on the bench. BY
putting them into the Colonial League
they will act as drawing cards and will
AID to the gate receipts. which receipts
will go some distance toward paying
the salaries of those players.

DECLARES Upton IS
ASKING TOO MUCH

Boston. June 5.-Yachtsmen are dis
cussing with great earnestness the
point of craftsmanship involved in
Sir Thomas Lipton's objection Of races
between the Resolute and the Vanitie.
would-he defenders of the Americas
cup. this season.
Most American yachtsmen consider
that Sir Thomas is asking too much.
Letters OF the Irish yacht owner to
friends here declare it is unfair for
the defenders to tune up while the
Shamrock Nv is forced to lie inactive
and virtually informed for the dura-
tion of the war.
Americans think this point is not
well taken. They say the owners of
the two American yachts should not
be deprived Of the pleasure of using
their craft. and that Sir Thomas will
be allowed plenty of time to try out
his boat again before the cup races
are sailed.

GOLF TITLE TO

FIRST ROUND IS EVEN

New York. June 5.-Walter ]. Travis
won the Metropolitan golf championship
over the links of the Aopwamis Coll
Club, at Rye. by a remarkable finish in
his 3s-hole match with John G. Ander-
son. the former Boston player.
The margin of victory was only two up
but 1t was decided in dramatic fashion
gallery had completely surrounded to
watch the finish.
Travis came to the last hole one up.
| He put his second shot almost within
the shadow of the flag. whereas Ander-
son. realizing the desperate situation
tried to do the impossible, but in his anx-
| iety sliced a msshie approach into the
| trap. The gallery was disappointed at
not seeing a closer fight, but the old man
| rewarded their patience by sinking his
long twentyfoot putt for a three.
Mis-. Opportunities.
The morning round was certainly fren-
zied golf. Both players missed many op-
portunities. but as they finished the first
round on even terms, Travis smilingly re-
marked:
1T was a very poor exhibition of golf,
but good match
After luncheon it looked for while
as though Travis were going to make a
runaway match out of 1t. He kept at
his work until he had turned three down
at the tenth.
The fighting spirit of Anderson was
aroused at this point and he fought des-
perately to get on even terms. 1t was
clearly evident that Travis was rapidly
firing. He made many mistakes. but
had the break OF the luck in his favor
Anderson got back a hole at the tenth
when Travis got into trouble.
Another hole came his way when
Travis missed an approach at the thir-
teenth. The match was all square at the
fifteenth. when Anderson got a par 4.
Travis was short on his second. The six
teenth was halvedeelso.
Anderson Missed Putt.
Anderson missed another putt on the
seventeenth. but Travis would not ac-
commodate him again and. sinking a
two-footer. became dormie over
In the first round Travis showed the
strain of strenuous week. as he GER
tainly was not playing anywhere near
the high-class golf in the morning that
he played in any of his other rounds
Anderson was just as bad however
and refused to take advantage of the
many opportunities offered him.

Dividing Of Fifteen Points to
First Five Has Not Helped
Small Universities Make
Points in intercollegiate
Track Meets.

New York, June the small colleges
competing in the big intercollegiate field
! and track meet each year have not been
/ benefited by the rule adopted in 1914
which was designed to help them make
a better showing in the classic,
| The new rule gives points to men fin
shing first. second. third. fourth. and
| fifth. When the intercollegiate first was
staged in 1876, points went only to the
! winner of the event. In 1890 it was de-
Cided TO give five points to the man fin
| ishing first, two to the second man and
one point to the third, In 1895 the rule
! changed again. and ~the first four men
were given points. five points going for
| first place. three for second place two
! for third and one for fourth.
This rule remained in force until after
! the 1913 battle was staged in Philadel-
! phia. Then the supporters of the smaller
colleges asked that the rules he changed
once more so that A point would go to
the fifth man.
The smaller colleges never make any
sort OF showing under the present scor-
ing rules" argued this faction. They
haven't many students to draw from
and, therefore, can't develop winning
stars. About the best the little fellows
can get is fifth place. Under the present
rules no score goes to the fifth man. II
score did go to the fifth man. the little
colleges would get their names among the
point-scorers.
The ruling powers in intercollegiate
affairs granted this request and the
new rule went into force. to-wit: Five
points for first place, four for second,
three for third. two for fourth. and
one for fifth place.
But the change hasn't accomplished
the expected result. Something like
twenty-one colleges We're entered in
the recent Philadelphia meets. but only
thirteen of the twenty-one got their
names in the Points Scored" column
Two of these-Mass Tech and Bowdoin
squeezed in by the narrowest mar
gin of one point, while Johns Hopkins
got only one and one-hslf points, scor-
ing one man for ffth position and
having another man tie for nth place.
Cornelrs sweeping victory in the
intercollegiate makes it's sixth victory

battles have been staged during the
past forty years and Harvard has won
thirteen of them. Yale is second with
nine victories. Pennsylvania third with

AWARDS MADE IN RAILROAD WAGE
 ARBITRATION
Bremen and Engineers Gain Some Points, Lose Others in Complicated Adjust ment of Differences With Western Roads
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHI

CHICAGO, April 30-The award in the Western Railroad wage arbitration accorded here increases the rate of pay of firemen and engineers in many in stances, but it is believed by the men will fall short of their demands. By reason of the many rules of operation involved no railroad will be able to tell exactly for q month at least the amount of money involved. The sur prise test remains.
 The award includes several reforms affecting the hours and conditions of employment. Representatives of the BrCtherhoods expressed isappointment while the railroads in a general way consider 1t satisfactory. The arbitra- ton was strictly on the demands of the men with nothing for them to lose of the adv antages already enjoyed
 The arbitration award affects the pay of 4.000 locomotive engineers fire men and hoetlers employed on 140, 900 miles of line of 9S western railroads. The award, effective May 10, is binding for one year only is frankly declared as merely postponing for twelve months the actual settlement of differ ences involved Railroad members of the board issued a formal statement criticising features Of the regulations governing arbitration and remarking that certain concessions regarded as intrinsicallY unjust. were made for the sake of preserving peace with their om- ployes.
 dissenting opinion filed on behalf of the Brotherhood of Enginemen, in which the arbitration was branded as failure and the NeWlands law under which 1t was arranged. an inadequate device for the settlement of industrial disputes. Judge Peter Pritchard, chair man of the board, explained his pesi- tion and stated that While in his opin- ion men in certain branches of the ser vice were entitled to greater advances than were granted and he held they
