WALTER HAGEN IS
 ONLY AMERICAN IN GOLF TOURNEY NOW


 New York, Oct. 13-With the field reduced to four players in the cham pionship tournament of the Profess sional Golfers Association in progress at the Siwanoy Country Club, Walter Hagen of. Rochester, is the only American to survive.
 The others are Jock Hutchinson and Will 'Macfarlane. Scotchmen, and Jim Barnes of Whitemarsh is the English Pro. In the semi-final round today Barnes met Macfarlane and Ha- gen faced Hutchinson.
 Because of the holiday the gallery attending yesterdays matches was easily the largest of the week. Fully 5o00 people ran and scrambled over the course during the afternoon in an endeavor to watch the big match of the day, that between Barnes and Tom Kerrigan. the home favorite.
 Probably ninety-nine out of every hundred there rooted hard for Kerri- gan, who played fine golf all day. es- pecially in the afternoon, and under the circumstances Barnes deserves a world of credit for the way he stuck to his task, finally defeating the home bred with g. brilliant on the seven teenth green, the 35th of the match.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE
 LATE RUBE WADDELL

This is the fortieth anniversary of the birth of the late Rube Waddell. one of the greatest pitchers of his time, but the most eccentric player who ever wore a uniform. The fans will always have soft place in their hearts for old Rube. for, although he had a million dollar wing, he had the heart and mind of a child. The story of his life would make a mighty entertaining volume, for life with Rube was just one thing after another. He held fourteen jobs during his sev- enteen years in professional baseball. He broke into the big show with the Louisville Nationals, but his longest term of service was with the Athletics. Connie Mack, has a number of gray hairs as mementoes of his attempt to make the Rube behave. Once when Waddell was pitching an important game in Philadelphia a fire engine went past the park. The Athletics were then at bat, and when it came time to take the field the Rube had Later Connie discov- cred that he had been unable to resist the lure of fire, and had chased, the engine to the scene of the conf1agra- tien. Wadde1l died of tuberculosis in San Antonio a few years ago. There was never another like the Rube, and it is safe te say there never will be.

YALE EXPECTS GOOD SCORE IN
 LEHICH BATTLE

New Haven, Oct. 13-Emil Jacques, Yale's star full-back, scored the only touchdown in yesterdays practice at Yale field. The practice marked the final scrimmage before the Lehigh game tomorrow. The varsity drove half the field for their touchdown, using only LeGore and Jacques of the backs for gains in rush-line att tacks. After Jacques had gone over the line for a score, LeGore booted the ball over the bar for an additional point.
 Captain Black, Gait and Jacques re- tired early, but all three are promis- ed to. be in prime condition for to- morrow's struggle.
 Halfback Bingham also returned to practice and will start the Lehigh en- gagement. /Yale coaches last night expressed themselves as confident of running up a fairly big score against Lehigh. The tremendous power of the backfeld men has made itself felt during the practice this week while the rush-line has displayed few weak nesses The team as a whole ap- pears better than any Blue entry of recent years.
 The Lehigh squad started for New Haven today accompanied by 100 un- dergraduates.

CHAIN GO. TEAM
 PLAYS HIGhBRIDGE
 ELEVEN ON SUNDAY

The second game of the football season will abe staged at Newfieid park, Sunday. when the American Chain team will have as it's opponents, the strong Highbridge A. c. club of Jersey City. This team has never appeared here before and bears a reputation of being one of the strong est clubs in the east.
 The management of the Chain team is making every effort to secure good bookings and already a number of strong teams have been booked, which will give the fans an opportunity to witness some good battles this sea- son. The Villanova college team will appear here with its regular line up on Saturday. Nov. 4, and as this is the first time a college team has played an independent team, in this section of the country, it should prove to be the big attraction of the sea- son.
 The Highbridge A. c. club has played in two games this season and won both of them. In their lineup are several former college stars. Fol- lowing is the probable lineup of both teams:

IBROOKLYN FOLKS
 SORE AT WAY BIG
 SERIES WAS RUN

.f Kew York, Oct. 13-The Robins are gone from Flatbush, and a consider able proportion of the population of that thriving neighborhood doesn't !care two whoops in Hades if they never return. If the players care to come back they will be taken in, and
 F1atbush will do all in its power to I ease the sting of the sorrows, that

 Flatbush developed quite a peeve when Colonel Ebbets announced that ithe first nine rows of his grand stand, as we'll as the boxes, would be retail led at $5 per seat. and the National iCommission's assumption of responsi- lbility for the increase in the tolY ap. jpeased only a scattering few among 1the Erumblers.> Flatbush could see no reason why it should be made to pay an average of more than $3 per per- son for baseball that other towns have witnessed at something like $1.60 a head and Is still unenlightened on this point.

BOSTON FANS JAKE VICTORY IN
 CALM MANNER

fsoston, Oct. 13-Boston's habit of
 Euing in for everything it touches
 whole-heartedly had a deal to do with
 the great outpouring yesterday to see
 the final game of the worlds series.
 Columbus Day is holiday here. The
 city, therefore, is a closed town
 The holiday air pervaded everything.
 There was left to it's inhabitants only the theatres and the ball game for relaxation The latter appealed to about 45,000 who hocked to the ball ground, the returns showing that we'll over 42,s0o of them paid from dollar to three dollars each to see the final net in the Red Sox-Superbas comedy Staged at Bravee' Field It wasn't
 much of a comedy from the Brooklyn point of view, rather a tragedy with
 khe Brooklyn players furnishing the bonnie relief : | The throng which packed the grand
 Dtand saw the players from F1atbush perform and wondered audibly how it happened they ever were able to get hnto, the Hmelight as champions of the National league. It further wondered
 how it was that they had ever man aged to defeat the Red sox, even with Mays pitching, in that third game of the series
 [ Boston, like Rome of old, wants en- hertainments on its holidays. This boutpourdng, as a result of the Red 6m losing one game, with no earthly chance of imperiling its hold on the world's championship, is the answer. BoStonians are not ordinarily mali c1ous, they are sometimes suspicious, perhaps, but always analytical and Philosophical, as is natural to such as sit constantly where they may hear Ikhe, words of wisdom, the deductions and conclusions of professors which beach how to make shrewd deductions 1rom given premises.

IS GIVEN
 SHADE ON MISKE

New York, Oct. 13-Battling Levin sky had the time of his life in the .Clermont A. c. in Brooklyn last night, where he barely gained a shade over Billy Miske-"Ffghting Billy"-of St. Paul. Miske, who weighed 173 pounds, was seven pounds lighter than the local exponent.
 Miske mixed the milling furiously from start to finish, landing on Levin sky's jaw heavily in each round. In the eighth session Levinsky was forc- ed against the ropes by Miske's steady right hand punches to face. While the St. Paul artist landed heavily and repeatedly, he failed to check the on- slaught of the battler. Levinsky's forceful punches probably would have stopped many another boxer. \ It was through scientific boxing, superior knowledge of the game, that Levinsky gained the popular decision. A pack ed house saw the event.

WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPS.

Although he will be thirty-one years old to-morrow-a truly venerable age for a practitioner of the pugilistic pro- fession-William J. Breslin has given a good account of himself in the last annum. MT. Breslin, who is better known to the fighting fraternity as Jack Britton, has achieved what has seldom been accomplished before-he has annexed a championship after passing his thirtieth birthday. Brit ton claimed the welterweight title last Apxil after winning decision over Ted Lewis, the British boxer, in a twenty round bout in New Orleans.
 Old Jack has been engaged in the scrapping business for about dozen years. He has taken good care of himself. and, although he has a rather frail physique for a pugilist and endu- rance is not one of his main points, his clever defence has enabled him to avoid taking much punishment. Like old Christy Mathewson in the pitchers box, Britton has always used his head, and hasn't used any more stuff than was necessary to outpoint his oppo- nent. By thus conserving his energy he has lasted a lot longer than the av- | tics have not appealed strongly to the fans. When up against a good man in an important bout, Britton has shown that he can tear loose and put up a. furious combat.
 Britton has fought as a lightweight throughout the greater part of his ca reer, and it may be observed that the leaders in that division have never shown any great anxiety to meet him in the ring. Britton has not made as much money out of the game as lot of inferior boxers.
 Although little interest has been shown in the weiter division Of late years, there was a time when 1t was the most interesting of pugilistic di- visions. Among the great boxers who have held the welter championship were Mysterious Billy Smith, Tommy Ryan, Kid Mccoy, George Green, Rube Ferns, Matty Matthews and Joe Walcott. Since the Barbados Terror was defeated by Honey Melody ten years ago the title has been in dispute most of the time, and the boxing bugs have lost interest in it.

Boston. Oct. 13-Two records, one for attendance in single Worlds Series game, and another for the money divided among the players, were established in the struggle which came to an end here yesterday.
 The attendance figures yesterday afternoon of 42,620 topped the mark set on Oct. II a year ago, when the Red Sox played the Phillies. The grand total for attendance did not approach the record of 1912, when eight games were played between the New York Giants and the Boston Red Sox because one was tie and the series went the full seven, but the money divided among the players,

YOUNG M'AUL|FfE
 AND TOMMY SHEA MEET NEXT WEEK

New Haven, Oct. 13-Tommy Shea of this city and Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport were matched yesterday to box 15 rounds in the star bout of the attraction to be staged by the Quinni- piac Athletic club at the Arena next Thursday night. The boxers will weigh in at 126 pounds, ring side. {.
 Shea, it will be recalled, challenged McAuliffe during the course of a series of bouts at the Arena two weeks ago, which was readily accepted by the Bridgeporter at that time. The match is bound to attract considerable inter- est and a large crowd should be on hand to see the mill. To the win ner of this bout will go the undisputed claim to the featherweight champion ship of Connecticut.

BONNIE MACK DECLARES
 UMPIRES IN AMERICAN LEAGUE WERE POOR

New York, Oct. 13-Connie Mack 4oesn't complain often. TherefofS when he says some of the umpiring has been bad in the American league this season he should get attention. Mack's complaint is not so much against the umpires calling plays wrong. He is willing to admit that mistakes will be made by the best of them. But he does object to the In- difference of the arbitrators in making their rulings clear, and their appar- ent attitude that neither players nor public have any rights the umnires are bound to respect.
 Comics argument is that the um- lpires should be on their toes all the time. just as is demanded of players. Fans who have seen umpires blunder- Ing through games apparently half asleep or dreaming of something far from fhs game will agree that Mack's complaint is we'll taken,
