Century Mark Unsullied
One OF the best and tidiest Journeys we
have followed this season was the invitation
1S-hole medal play given for women yes
terday at the Woodbury. Country Club. The
only flaw was the outrageous weather, but
the sandy course licked up the modest Jer-
sey rain that fell that there was really
no harm done.
It kept away however many of the Phil
adelphla folk that had expected to play.
The course Is marvelously improving every
season. The greens this year. thanks to
the patient and exhaustive study OF Green's
man G. G. Green, Jr. are equal to those OF
the big city clubs They are large, beau
tlfully shaped and true. The turf on them
is delight.
Not even the best of the players in the
tourney were able TO break 100. This was
said to have been due partly to the intense
desire and longing that the fair members
had for the second prize for low net. It
was silver and platinum scarfpin in the
shape of n golf stick and n pearl ball, 1t
was n beauty and the absorbing topic of
the day was who would be the lucky win
ner. Miss L. c. Earnshaw, Riverton. finally
became the gladsome winner with 95.
Ham" Gambols
Beside the rain and winds, the feminine
linksers had their troubles with the club
mascot a clipper puppy named Ham. who
followed the players and took keen de-
light in snatching up a long drive and
dashlng with it in its mouth to the gloam-
ing.
Mrs. A. X Billstein. Of Bala, started of
al though she were intent on breaking 90
She dropped a shot to the third hole that
left her with n chance for 2. But
paralysis stole over her at this point and
she made a bloodcurdlIng with great
difficulty Her first round was 81 and that
was her last look at low figures.
Another player who was expected to do
better was Miss Helen Clark, one of the
home talent who had dealt only in low
figures of late. She sank with the band
playing to the tune of a 10 on the second
hole.
When the rain fell hardest she discarded
her gay hat and coat and went with n drip
ping smile through the rest of the round
Her form Is very good It is a safe bet
that male golfers would. never miss tour

The new sixth green at the club was

PENNSYLVANIA
MEETS CORNELL
ON THE DIAMOND
Teams Clash in Final Fray
This Afternoon on Frank

CONTEST BEGINS AT 3 P. M.

Franklin Field will be the scene of the
final 1916 contest of Pennsylvania baseball
team this afternoon. Old Penn's diamond
forces and those representing Cornell Uni
versity will meet Both have won one
game, consequently the rivalry Ia at fever
heat between the old-time rivals
Neither Penn nor Cornell have had sue
cessful seasons, but both seem to have
been laboring under the jinx, as the two
teams have some exceptionally clever play
ers In their ranks, Pennsylvania has lost
quite a number of games this spring by
one-point scores, and the Ithaca aggrega-
tion has been in the same predlcament on
n number of occasions.
Johnny Spielman will be the Red and
Blue nine's best bet as he has been through
out the present season, and Coach Roy
Thomas believes that Spielman can deliver
the goods in the box today.
With all the old alumni back at the
University for their annual frolic, there is
certain to be some fur flying when the two
teams take the field for play this afternoon
at 3 p. IN. At least 1900 graduates will be
in the stands to cheer their team on, as
they formerly did in days gone by when
they, too, We're students at the West Phila-

opened n weeks engagement in the fourth
episode in the stage life of the long and
short heroes last night. Mutt and Jeff in
College" is a lively musical piece vacil-
lating between burlesque and musical
comedy. with the result that the audience
is treated to laughs galore, pretty girls
and catchy songs. John German and
Marty Healey are Mutt and JEFF, re.
spectlvely.
The comedy of cartoons. of course.
lacks subtlety just as the newspaper car

caricature instead of characterization,
lack even the rudimentary elements of
art. But they do grasp and maintain the
comic sense, fundamentally and essen

the new Mutt and jeff stage piece have
lost chance to win laughs, and they
got plenty of them last night.
The two leading characters depend upon

peal. but they have talent as farceurs as
well. A comedienne of ability is Minerva
Adams, who appears in n sort of isis

Photographed and filmed.
And the very pool game which they are
now presenting was the means of putting
them In stardom. Interest is added to
the game by the constant run of compli-
Gated criticism. Last night Joe Weber
was the winner, but it doesn't always
happen this way.
It is just possible that Lew Fields will
win tonight and take the two real ten
dollar bills, which play the role of stakes.
Lovers of the game and professional pool
sharps can pick up some valuable point
ers by watching the Weberheds Lew
takes four balls every time he makes n
scratch" and also entities himself to a
ball each time that Joe misses. Despite
this, matters are greatly simplifled by the
agreement that the fellow who gets the
money wins the game.
The subject of mesmerism was induged
in later and Lew sent Joe on n speedy
trip all over the country, then left him
fiat in Camden for spite. This was fol-
lowed by discussion on music. and Joe
became so violent that Lew was obliged
to borrow valuable "Stradivarius" from
the leader and smash 1t on his partners

of laughs.

If the truth is worth while it must be
said that Britt Wood, with a harmonica

with his act, received more applause than
anything else on the bill.

sang with good results.

MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINK
GIVES EXCELLENT RECITAL
Noted Contralto Sings for Benefit of
Children's Homeopathic Hospital

1t has been long time since Nine
SChumann-Heink has sung as well as
she did in her recital for the benefit of
the Childrens Homeopathic Hospital, in
the Academy of Music, yesterday. 1t is
doubtful If her headtones have ever been
more beautiful. Certainly, the bel-like
clarity which characterized them yester.
day and the well.night perfect evenness
with which she accomplished the transi.
tiOn from one register to another was a
surprise even to her oldest admirers.
The audience yesterday was larger than
that which heard the contralto in her
previous recital this season. Every seat
in the orchestra pit was taken, and a
large number of the chairs on the stage
were occupied.
The program was interesting in at least
one respect. It brought back, after an
absence of n number of years, the roll
licking "Brinds'' from Donzetts "Lu-
crezia Borgia." Nine. Schumann- -Heinll
long ago standardized the singing of this
aria. Latterly she has avoided colora-
tura numbers, but many an Italian opera
star of today has just cause to envy the
ease and purity of tone with which she
sang the cadenza of the "Brindisi." Miss
Edith Evans was an excellent accom-
PIANIST.
However, It was "Ah mon fils," from
Meyerbeers lie Prophetic" and Danny
Boy" which she sang instead of Kreis-
lers Cradle Song" which carried the
most conviction.
Nine. Schumann-Henlt has suffered a
great loss a son died only n few weeks
ago. 1t was only by the greatest effort
that she was able TO sing at all. yester-
day. After the concert she broke down
and that Is why she could
not acknowledge the cordial applause of
the audience.
