RECORD GOLF IN
SEASHORE GAME
Maurice Risley Winner With
Remarkable Scores; Bril-
liant Fours

Atlantic City. n. J.. Oct. 27.-
There were some remarkable golf
matches in the first and second
rounds of match play in the annual
fall tournament of the Country Club
of Atlantic City, at Northfeld. yes
terday. Chief among the surprises
of the day was the elimination of
Maurice Risley, the medal winner,
at the hands of Davidson Heron. of
Princeton, in the second round. 4
up and to play. Risley, however,
had played a very hard match with
ID. p. Healy, of Baltusrol, in the first
round, with three extra holes before
he could claim the victory.
Doubtless this took a lot of the
steam out of him. and that is why
he fell a comparatively easy victim
to Heron in the afternoon. In his
match with Healy, Risley was out
in 40 to Al, and was one up at the
turn.
Brilliant Fours
Coming in. Healy won the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth holes, and at
the fifteenth he was two up, but
three brilliant fours by Risley to two
fives and a four. made the match
Sluare at the eighteenth. The nine
teenth and twentieth were halved in
fours and fives, but Risley won the
twenty-first with four to a five.
In his match with Heron in the
afternoon, Risley was not quite at
his best At the end of the fifth he
was two down, but he managed to
square the match by winning the
seventh and eighth with a four and
three to a five and a four. Heron
won the ninth with a four to five
and was one up at the turn. Coming
in, Heron won the tenth with a fine
three to a four and halved the next
two holes. Risley won the twelfth
with four to five. but Heron took
the next three, the last being a bird,
and won the match. The cards:

where he spent the day before telling
Owner Phil Ball, of the Browns, that
"a bank roll won't win a baseball pen-

and that there are times when si-

After opening the mail that had
accumulated during his absence the
American League executive disap-
peared for the day, leaving note
for his private secretary to book a
reservation for him to Camp Jerome
on the night train. 1t was reported
by friends who ran across Ban 3

Willard Will Not Fight
Until War Is Ended:
Not Profitable Now

According to a report from the
West, Jess Willard has decided not
to re-enter the ring until the war is
over. The heavyweight champion is
of the opinion that a match at this
time or until peace has been declar-
ed. is not advisable, says the New
York Telegram.
Whether Jess is stirred by feel
ing of patriotism or whether his ac-
tons are governed by business acu-
men, the report does not state. How
ever. it is the opinion among pro-
moters and boxers that a bout be-
tween willard and any of the present
crop of heavyweight challengers
would not prove profitable venture,
principally because of the big guar
antee and percentage Willard would
demand.
A big admission price would have
to be charged to make the gate"
worth while and the general ten
dency among the fans" seems to be
to think a long time before falling
for any more big taxes at the turn
stiles. Under the conditions the pro-
moters are not making any new speed
or bidding records in an effort to
persuade Willard to engage in bout.

CRUCIAL CONTEST
AT ISLAND PARK
Tech Battles With Steelton in
Scholastic Triangular
Series

Island Park was the scene OF a
hard battle this afternoon. Tech
met Steelton in the first home game
of the triangular series. One week
ago Central met Steelton on Cottage
Hill field and lost out. This victory
from the Cockill crew made Steelton
a favorite in to-day's battle.
1t was an ideal day and due to
the fact that there was no other
scholastic game staged in this city
to-day, the crowd was a record
breaker. Both teams were out to
win, and brought along an army of
rooters. Techs army was lead by
the famous "Old Gray Mare" band.
In the line of marchers were 500
students.
Steelton came here with several
hundred enthusiastic hackers. Ri
Nalry was intense and before the
game the meeting of these Two
teams was the big subject in sport
circles. No game played anywhere
is of greater importance. A victory
for Steelton would give the winners
two legs on this seasons champion
ship.
Expect Both Teams to Score
That both teams will score is the
general belief. Each eleven boasts
of an exceptionally strong backheld.
1t will also be a battle of coaches,
George Cockill who has been whip
ping teams into shape at Bucknell
is director general of Steelton. He
has also had one year with Tech.
Coach Ryan has much that is new
and it will depend on the ability of
Tech players to carry out their in
structions in order to land vic
tory.
The game was scheduled to start
at o'clock. At late hour yester-
day afternoon the scrub game was
called off. This is taken as an in
dication that both coaches want oil
the available material possible on
hand for emergency duty. Both
teams will start with the regular
lineup according to announcement.
Beck. a Tech star. who has been on
the hospital list, expects to be in the
game.

WHEN FITZWAS
HIT HARDEST
Handed Him by Joe Choyn-
ski; Come Near Being
Knockout

Chicago, Oct. 27.-7Bob Fitzsim-
mons had a keen memory of all his
fights, and could recall every round
of every mill. He always said that
the hardest wallop he ever received
was one handed him in Boston by
Joe Choynski Fitz always declared
that the one mashing biff sent him
py Choynski came nearer flattening
MIN than any other belt he ever re-
celVed. He was down and prac-
tlcally out; the gong saved him
ana what pasting he handed Joe
afterward!
Red Robert met one man who
saved him from the 1O-count bv a
daring trick-George Clark of Chi
cago, dead long ago. In Bob's New
orleans fight with Peter Maher. the
irlshman was coming strong. and
had things all bis own way in the
early rounds. Finally, he sent Bob
TO the floor with a yolley of
punches, and Fitz lolled on the mat
dead to the world. The round had
at. least a minute to go-but right
mere George Clark, leaning over the
timekeeper's shoulder, hit the gong
with a heavy cane. Before the trick
could be explained, sufficient time
had passed for Bob to regain his
senses. and he battered Maher into
submission little later.
Nature Provides Weapon
when Fftz's hands went to pieces,
curious freak of nature provided
MN with new weapon. The bones
OF ms wrist became anchylosed-
grew together-and formed a veri-
table club. If his hands went bacl,
on him he struck with the wrists.
and scored several knockouts in this
manner. When he knocked out
Dan Creedon, there was n ridge or
welt alongside Creedon's head, eX-
actly as if Dan had been walloped
with a stick.
To the very last, Bob always in
sisted that a financial trick played
on him back in 1895 meant the diff
ference through all his later years
between affluence and hard labor
When he beat Jim Hall at New Or
leans he was supposed to get $4,000
"a record-breaking purse at the
time. The gate receipts were of the
skinniest pattern; the club went into
bankruptcy, and the purse hasn't
been paid up to date. That S45,
so Bob declared, would have been
just what he needed-worth more
at the time, than all the coin he
gained through his defeat of Jim
Corbett-and it's loss was a blow
from which he. never really re-
covered.

Yale Is Out For Good;
No Informal Sport

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 27.-A
formal statement by DIR. A. E. Brides,
coach of the Yale freshmen football
team, made it definitely known yes
terday that all idea of Yale infor-
NAL eleven and of games with Har-
ward or Princeton has been abandon
ed. There will be no game, informal
or otherwise. between Harvard and
Yale or Princeton and Yale this
year." said DR.. Brides statement.
The reason given is that the chief at
tention of the men is being given to
military work, so that there is no
time to develop a team and also be-
cause there is only one coach. 1t was
explained yesterday that this situa-
ton will not affect the games be-
tween the freshmen elevens of the
universities.

III MEETS SETON REGULAR FOOTBALL GAME PLAYS
WEEEYs 8 CORNER

Something exciting in a football
game was expected to-day at Island
Park. Tech was up against Steel
ton. 1t was a battle between old
time rivals. Both teams have been
showing form this season. Steelton's
veteran team was a favorite in the
selection of a winner.
One thing was certain to-day. The
Tech management had plenty of po-
lice protection. Steelton rowdies who
marred the game last Saturday un-
derstood from the start that there
would be no repetition of their dis
graceful conduct. 1t was also as
sured that Harrisburg police would
not seek revenge by arresting Steel
ton players.
An unusual feature at the Island
game this afternoon was the pres
ence of Central High and Harris
burg Academy rooters. They, too
had a big interest in the game. Cen
trail was to have played at Baltimore
but the game was Cancelled. Millers-
burg High refused to send a crippled
team to meet Academy. This ex-

II Provision Has Been Can Be Made for Support

the term dependent for sup

The general basis for ruling
upon such questions should be
the spirit and purpose of the
act in providing for such dis
charge wherever the terms Of
the act and Of the Regulations

President to discharge wherev-

Such dependency ordinarily
renders discha ge advisable, be-
cause, since the drafted pc. son
loses his civil income and thus
loses his means of support, the
wife is left without support,
and this lack Of support is the
effect Which the act aims to
avoid. But whenever such ef-
feet does not follow and the wife
is not left without reasonable
adequate support, but will re-
Ce;ve such support from other
sources, there is no real depen-
dency rendering discharge adj
