CHICK EVANS WON
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
Defeated Gardner at Philadelphia, 4 Up
and 3 TO Play, Gardner Cracking
Under the Strain.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE greatest
honors in the history of modern golf fell

club of Chicago, when he defeated his
fellow townsman, Robert A. Gardner OF
the Hinsdale club up and to play, in
the final round of the national amateur
golf championship tournament at the
Merton Cricket club course Saturday.
Already the holder OF the open cham

in June, he is the first player in either
America or England to capture both ma .

Hilton and John Ball, English amateurs,
Francis Ouimet and Jerome TraVers won
double honors, but at different times.
There was hardly a cloud in the sky
and only a slight wind blowing when
the players teed off Tor their 36-hole

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Friday proved a great day for the
winning teams in the National league TO
fatten their batting averages. Brooklyn
made % hits in their two games. New
York made IA hits in one and st. Louis
made Is hits in one. The losing teams
made only % hits in the four games.
The Braves hard luck is still with
them. Saturday afternoon the Brooklyn
team won the third game of the series it
making the seventh straight defeat for
the Boston team. At the present time
they are amidst the biggest slump of the
season. With the injuries of few more
stars there is no reason why they should
not slump Maranville, who received
broken nose during the early part of
last week. sustained still further injuries
in Saturdays game when he tried to
touch Johnston of the Brooklyn team as
he slid into second base on steal. This
happened in the ninth inning. Maran
vile had the ball on Johnston in time,
but Johnston. who slid into the bag feet

that il dislocated his thumb and the
first and second knuckles were knocked

home run trick yesterday. 1t was just

city series in Chicago this fall. Although
Pres Comiskey and Manager Rowland
viii not discuss the matter in any way,
because they think that it might put a
ink on their chances OF winning the
American league flag, it is learned from
inside sources that Pres. Comiskey in
particular is very much adverse to their
playing the series. He claims that in.
terest in this fall scrap has outlived its
usefulness in the Windy city and that
the fans would not turn out to watch
them battle this fall. 1t is argued that
this series breeds trouble between the
PLAYERS, as they are looking at their own
averages in such series more than they
are through the season and they play
more to beat each other than they do to
win from their rivals.

from bingham, Weymouth, Cohasset,
Braintree and Quincy was summoned to
help the utterly impotent Hull apparatus.
The flames followed line directly

ont some way in which to hold this lead.
Az the end OF the first half OF the follow
ing inning, a bright thought dawned upon
his mind and he wanted To call the game
at the end OF that frame, on account
of darkness, as the sun rays were not
any closer TO the bali park than the
Benjamin farm building, across the river.
Dobbs asserted that it was SO dark that
his men could not see the ball. and that
Fowie, the Barre catcher, admitted that
il was hardly possible to see the horse
hide.
This might all have been true, but
many are inclined TO think that IL was
not the darkness that affected their
vision as much as the puifs of smoke that
encrcled the ball as it shot into the
catcher's mitt from the wing OF Tomasl.
Tomasi pitched wonderful game, hav-
ing about everything on the ball that a
pitcher needs TO get by with, in this bush
league During the six sessions that he
worked on the mound, five of the hostile
batsmen failed to connect with his de-
livery. and the others lifted easy pop
flies and grounders to his infelders. Only
two safe raps were made of his pitching,
one a single by Wakefield and the other
a double by Stewart, Montpelier's new
guardian OF the middle station.
jun Laird, the former Montpelier high
school all-around athlete, performed on
the hin for the Capital city team in
this game. and did some creditable work
While the Barre team gathered one more
hit off his delivery than Tomasi allowed,
Laird kept his three hits well scattered
and struck out nine of the Italian bats

OF the game. when he ran into right
field with his back to the ball taking
the ball with a one handed stab then re-
firing his man at first base.
Barre's only run came in the first IN

Montpelier scored once in the follow

to catch Wakefeld's long fly, dropping
the ball and letting Wakefield reach
first. Two wild pitches sent Wakefield
across the rubber Their runs IN the
fifth came after Tomasi passed Stew

FISCAL COURT INCREASES PAY
OF COUNTY ROAD ENGINEER
MIR. Rife Tells Court He Cannot Az
ford To Do Work For Less
Than $1,4OO A Year

At the regular meeting of the Lin
coin county fiscal court here Tues
day County Road Engineer j. L. Nc
Kee Rife was reelected for a term
of two years, and his salary was in
creased from $1,000 to 81 400 a
year. This was done by the votes of
three members of the court, Squires
Helm, Petrey and Camden, Squire
Dudderar refusing to vote for it. Mr..
Rife explained to the court that he
could not afford to work for the sal
airy he had been receiving, and in
formed the court that as far as he
was concerned, if they could get a
man to take the work at the former
salary, to do so, but that he could not
do so and if they desired him, they
would have to pay him a figure he
could live on. During the past year,
Mr.. Rife was allowed $500 extra
for assistance in conducting his de-
partment, but none of this sum was
expended. The court, in increasing
his salary, reduced the sum available
for assistance, if such should be
needed, to $500, so that the appro-
priation for the department should
not be increased. The magistrates
say they are satisfied with the work
Mr.. Rife has done.
Reports as to the work under the
state-aid pike reconstruction were
made. At previous meeting, the
court voted to borrow $500 from
the Lincoln County National Bank,
until the funds available from the
state shall have been received, to
carry on the road work. The greater
part of the Boone Way from Crab
Orchard to Danville, has been finish
ed this year, and if good weather
continues, for a few weeks longer, it
may be possible to finish these two
roads this year. All who ride ovet
them concede that no better macad-
amized roads are to be found any
where.
