CHUM BOB's SPORTING TALK.

NewYork, Oct. 9-(By Union As
ISOLATED Press)--It takes a strong at
traction to detract attention from the
worlds series, but an event worthy
of note is the ladies' invitation golf
tournament beginning at the Knoll
wood Country club of White Plains,
today, because some Of the players
who took part in the national tourna-
ment continues for three days and the
, conditions are about the same as those
governing most golf competitions.
Dick Clifford, who was just about as
fine a walker as the cinderpath ever
saw is boosting Willie Warren, a fea-
therweight, and ridiculing Charley
Harvey for the latter's efforts to get
on a match for his boy with Freddie
Welsh.
It begins to look as though the
football players at the big matches
this year would be numbered. Prince
ton yielded to the popular demand last
year. Percy Haughton, of Harvard,
is known to have come over to the
plan of numbering the players. Yale,
the last university to hold out against
simplifying football for the spectator,
has finally decided upon numbering its
players. The mere seat buyer now
will have a chance to cheer for the
man who makes a long run for a
touchdown without having to read the
paper the next day to find his name.
The success Of the American
League in gate receipts this year, in
spite of a very poor start in the
spring, has made all the maganates
forget the poor houses of the first
month or two. The West must have
beaten all records in holding up it's
end in the influx of cash.
French international Rugby has to
deplore the death in action in the air
of it's best three-quarter, Rene Bur-
gun, who played ten times for France.
He was a brilliant aviator, and was
overtaken by a Fokker while he was
planning home and killed.
The Millrose Club will be very
strongly represented in a ten-mile ma
tional with Giannakopulos, Kyronen,
and Charley Pores, all Of whom are
training for the big distance event
which will be run off at Macomb's
Dam Park. .
Gambling on boxing matches is
wide open in Australia and the fight
ers make more money betting than in
purses, having an edge on the book
makers through knowing the result in
advance in many cases. As always
happens when there is much betting,
there is a great deal Of sharp practice
and double dealing. For a long time
Australians never seemed to suspect
what was going on, but of late they
have begun to wake up and the news
papers are roasting the takers.
Apparently the report that Les OAR
cy was about to offer himself as food
for the cannon was i'll founded. Lat
est reports from Australia say that
he has been able to sidestep military
duty, and while he may don a uniform
he will not leave the country.
Even in England most Of the crack
boxers have influence enough to avoid
the trenches. Bombardier Wells, the
perpetual English heavyweight cham
pion, parades around in uniform, but
he is not likely to 60 to the front.
Wilde also has been able to
avoid shouldering a musket. On the
other hand, many Of the second and
raters from both England and
have been killed in action.

Where Thousands Play Every
Year; Interest Increasing

important cities of the Pacific Coast
all but two can boast a munich.
pal or public golf links. The two ex-
eeptions are Oakland and Portland.
This is according TO figures gathered
by Mrs. c. L. kelliher, municipal
reference librarian at Portland.
Portland now is determined to be in
cluded in the list of those possessing
public course and steps are being
taken in this direction. 1t is believed
that the city will be willing to apprO-
rriate $1,000 to $4,000 for this purpose
and that once under headway the
course would soon pay for itself by
means OF a nominal charge for green
ices.
Spokane Is completing it's municipal
course, which is expected TO be ready
for play by the first of May.
That these public links are a means
Of putting healthful outdoor recrea
ton within the reach of many who
otherwise would have little oportunity
OF getting exercise is shown by the
record of the Los Angeles course,
which has been open only for one
year. According to s. B.. Norton
secretary of the park. board Of that
city, approximately $4,000 persons
used the links during that time and
the patronage steadily Is increasing
The only charge is 25 cents for per
init, good for all time.
At Seattle an. 18-hole course was
opened last May. Up to date more
than $4,000 have played and the rev
enue has been in excess OF $4,000,
which shows an approximate profit OF
$1,000 over the operating cost. The
green fees are 81 per year, 81 per
month, So cents a day or 25 cents a
game.
Honolulu is not behind the other
coast cities in boosting for more golf

motion Committee has taken up the
question of erecting golf course at

In addition to. the proposed estab-

London, July 26.-The Copenhagen

a story regarding the illness of the
Duke of Bruins wick, the German En-
peror's son-in-lsw, the story, however,

source.
"The Duke Of Brunswick" says the
correspondent, "who has been the vic

collapse was the result Of trying ex-

Chicago, July 25.-Styles OF shoes,

Common stock variety, instead Of the
excessive high-top kind" next season,
according to statements of manufact-
urers made to-day at the convention Of
the Illinois Shoe Dealers Association.
The colors will be dull grays and cham

The prediction also was made that
there would be an increase of from 20
to 40 per cent in the price of shoes
the coming winter, on account of the
war, which has shut off the supply Of
dyestuffs and imported leather.

Her liberality in tipping enabled
Mrs. Dorothy Spencer, a wealthy Amer
lean, living at 49 West Fifty-seventh
Street, to return home yesterday aboard
the Scandinavian-Ame liner United
States.
Otto Schultz, once waiter at
the Ritz Carlton, now a petty officer
on German destroyer. recognized
Mrs. Spencer. and. by his identifca-
tion, spared her the indignity Of being
taken a prisoner when the liner was
boarded by the destroyer's officers in
the Cattegat.
Mrs. Spencer's husband, an English
man, died three years ago. Early last
May, without waiting to take steps to
reassume her American citizenship, she
sailed for England, using a British
passport.
Planning TO return via Copenhagen,
she left England without a passport,
declaring herself an American citizen.
The steamer was stopped by the de-
stroyer in the Cattegat and the passen-

Holmesville, n. j.. July 25.-The
biggest man-eatng shark captured of
the Jersey coast this year was towed
into Long Beach to-day by Captain
Jack" Benson and his crew of seiners.
II was 10 feet 8 inches long. weighed
600 pounds, had an 1s-inch spread Of
mouth and was 80 inches in diameter
at the thickest part of his body.
Four other sharks-two 8 feet long
and two feet long-were taken in the
morning draw Of the nets. All were
tigers, blue with large spots, and had
four rows Of strong teeth.
The biggest fish was landed only
after an exciting battle. Captain Ben
son dazed it by hitting it repeatedly
over the head with an iron bar; then
another fisherman lassoed its tail.
Havana, July 25.-Harbor fishermen
believe that the sharks which
thronged these tropical waters have
migrated to the North Atlantic coast
At the mouth of the harbor and

North Galician
Frontier.


London, July 25.--While the Russian
armies on the extreme northern and
southern fronts are recovering from
the desperate fighting Of the last few
days and preparing for fresh on
slaughts against the enemy's lines,
General Brussiloff again has taken up
the fight along the Northern Galicis
frontier.
To-day Berlin admits the loss of Lin
singen's first line of defence on two
fronts in this region-south Of Ston-
owka and south Of Berestechk. At the
latter point the opposing forces are
now seesawing back and forth across
the border line, with each day marking
fresh successes for the Russian arms.
Along the river Slonevka. a branch
Of the Styr, a furious battle is in
progress. the Russians having broken
through the Austrian lines and carried
the fighting into the town OF Leshny.
One thousand prisoners were bagged
and guns were captured and turned

PLAGUE RECORD
IN MANHATTAN
u. S. Experts Halt All
Children Quitting City
-15O New Cases.

Following the report Of $50 new
cases of infantile paralysis in the city,
forty-two of which made a record for
Manhattan, the United States Public
Health Service yesterday took the most
stringent measures yet adopted for
controlling the spread of the plague.
Orders were issued absolutely for
bidding children under sixteen years
Of age to leave the state without first
obtaining a health certificate from the
city Department of Health and an iden-
tihcation card from surgeons of the
service, eighteen Of whom are sta
toned at the railroad depots. the fer
ries and in the Postoffice Building, in
Park Row.
Must Have Health Cards.
"It is now compulsory upon children
or adults with children leaving New
York State to procure these identified
ton cards." said DR.. Charles z. Banks,
senior surgeon in charge of the Public
Health campaign. They will be issued
only upon the presentation to the sur
geon at the railroad station or ferry
of a health certificate, signed by the
Department of Health. They can be
obtained on weekdays, between the
hours of 1880 and $3.50, and on Sun
days from o'clock to /.
children intending to travel at
night or after these hours must obtain
them on the afternoon of the day Of
travel"
Announcement was made yesterday
by DR.. Simon Flexner and DR.. John s.
Billings, Deputy Health Commissioner,
that the Rockefeller Foundation Com
mittee. which has been empowered to
spend $4,000 to trace the carriers and
sources of the disease, has discovered
that the plague is spread by personal
contact of child with child, rather than
by objects or by the germs being car
ried by adults.
Reports Trace Epidemic.
This fact developed at a conference
between DR.. Billings, DR.. Flexner and
DR.. Alvah II. Doty, former Health on
GER of the Port and now in charge of
the paralysis fight in Brooklyn. Re-
ports of thirty nurses and five physi-
clans who have been doing field work
were gone over.
"The work of the committee" said
DR.. Flexner, tended to prove what we
had believed, that the disease is spread
by personal contact. For instance, a
baby may be sick on a trolley car, and
a child sitting next to it may contract
the disease. A child is likely to run
I'D against the germs anywhere, and a
