DETROIT, September 26.-Managel
Griffith will give the youngsters under
his wing chance to show what they
can do in the remaining games of the
season. Four of the veterans of the
club were excused after yesterday s
game and the main body Of the Griff-
men went east without them Johnson
Mcbride, Milan and Williams are the
four who have completed their labors
for the year. They scattered to their
homes last night.
The Nationals manager has several
recruits whom he wants to look over
and they will take the places of the
regulars who have left. Shanks Is to
play shortstop, a position in which he
has made a big hit with Griffith. Me-
noskey and Jameson are available for
the outfield, while Ainsmith will join
the club in Philadelphia and give it
three catchers, as Charity and Henry
went east. There is nothing at stake
for the Nationals now and neither the
Yankees nor Mackmen, with whom they
are to tangle between now and the final
curtain, are in the pennant hunt.
Detroit fans certainly stuck to the
Tigers well. Just 1910 paid to see the
final game, though there was nothing
whatever at stake.
AS result of Mondays developments,
Boston has only to win two games in
its remaining seven to beat the Jun
galeers, even though they take all three

able the Champions to tie the best De-

of the best of the Columbia amateurs
the home team triumphed over the com.
bination of Howard Beckett. Dave Bur

Leod's brilliant play contributing In a
large measure to the victory. Mcleod
despite his bad start on the first three
holes, which he had in 4, 6, 5, four over
par, had the first nine holes in 81 ano
coming in got threes on the thirteenth
and fifteenth, with all the rest in -four
to total "a for II. The feature of his
first nine holes was 8 registered at
number and the pair of threes to
finish the nine at holes eight and nine
For the first nine holes Beckett was
putting with remarkable accuracy, but
seemed unable to find the cup on the In
nine with the regularity of his efforts
before Orme teamed well with his
partner, halving the second hole In ]
with Beckett and the seventh in the
same figure with Jack Burgess. Nc
Leod was not putting exceptionally
well, but his ability to pitch the ball
close enough to have reasonable
chance to hole it gave him the op-
portunity to reduce his score.
Beckett was II and the two Burgesses

Golf Club for Octobsr 1914 may be
called off This decision was tentative
ly reached at a meeting of the ooaro
of directors last evening and awaits
the ratification of two of the members.
1t is thought that the present condi-
ton of the greens is not good enough
for the severe test of tournament play,
and that it would be better Tor the
club to abandon it's plans for the event
and postpone it to the same time next
wear. when the course as a whole un-
doubtedly will be in greatly improved
condition The Cabin John course Is
quite young, the first sod having oeen
turned only four years ago, ana, as IL
make a mature golf course, it can be
seen that, although Bannockburn IS
in fine shape for so young a course, IT
hardly would stand the tearing test OF
tourney play.
1t is probable that a new greens COM
mittee will be selected at meeting 10

ROYALS CAPTURE MATCH
AND MAKE HIGH COUNTS
Obtain Big Game and Set in Victory
Over Shermans in Dis
trict Circuit.

Five bowling leaguts opened their
schedules last night. The District and
National Capital circuits unlimbered
their big guns, rolling up tho best
scores of the year, and the Fourteenth
Street, Columbia and Washington ten
pin organizations also played their
first games.
If the play Of the Royals in their
debut Is to be taken as a criterion Of
what they will accomplish all through
the season, then the other teams in
the District League might as well
make up their minds that the real fight
in that circuit will be for second place.
Pop Malleys collection Of stars found
the match of last night easy to win.
In only one game did the Shermans
show anything like as good form as
the pennant winners of last spring.
The Royals set the mark of the year
for high game, knocking down 6S3
pins. and also registered the best score
for set, total of 1872 pins falling
before their onslaught.
The opening contest was close, end
ing with the Royals having 544 and
the Shermans SAL pins. The other two
games were walk-overs. though, the
Shermans not approaching anywhere
close to the 535 and $50 Of the Royals.

hit, and made a strike, which. with his
next two plays. netted a count of LOG.
There was a big crowd of interested on
lockers and one of them, who evidently
turned to his companion and remarked:
in more or less awe-struck tone, Good
heavens. /. they knock down just as many
as that man tells them to-"
HowSer fell below 100 in one of his
games, but got 10 and 121 in the other
two. Harry Krauss got poor breaks in
his first game and missed several single
pins, rolling for only 80. but in the sec
like the Krauss of old. In the second
139 pins fell below his accurate heaves
and in the last 128 went down. Harry
Stanford showed that he had lost none Of
his former cunning. 121. 1o3 and 101 be-

taking all three contests from the
Southeast Stars. The Grand Centrals
rolled the second best set of the year,

game was 53S. second 532 and third
