Defeated Waubanakee Club
of Burlington, IL
to !
MATCH WAS PLAYED
ON BARRE COURSE
Some Good Scores We're
Made-Return Match
Later

On Saturday afternoon the Barre Golf
club had as their visitors a team of Is
players from the Wsubanakee club of
Burlington. This was the first time these
two clubs had met in match play on the
Barre course, and they sent over some
of their strongest players, but the home
team had easily the best of matters and
came very close TO shut-out However,
the fact that the course was strange to
the Burlington players had great lot
to do with the result; yet the Barre team
all played in their best form and some
very low scores were made. The Bur
lington players all spoke highly of the
nice condition of the course.
At the close of the game, all sat down
to very fine supper, which was prepared
and served by the lady members of the
social committee. Those two teams are
to meet again in return game, which
will be played on the Burlington course
sometime in August Below are the re.
suits of the match:

WELL-BALANCED
BASEBALL WINS
Situation in Both Major Leagues on July
Demonstrated That Fact
Strong Defense Shown BY
Boston Red Sox.

New York, July l6,--That well bal
anced and even baseball play points the
way to the pennant has again been DEM
onstrated by the figures compiled from
the various averages and records avail
able at the halfway mark in the present
big league contests. When the turning
mark was reached on July 7 neither
leading club in the National and Ameri-
can leagues was among the first three in
total number of runs or hits made, but
this mark of a finished offensive was
more than counterbalanced by the strong
defensive game played by the league
leaders.
In the National league the Chicago
club was first in runs with Cincinnati
second and Philadelphia third. Chicago
was second in total number of hits, re-
versing places with Cincinnati in this
respect, while st. Louis was third. This
strong offense of the two western clubs
was offset, however, by weakness in de-
tense. Chicago was first in error max
ing; had more runners left on bases than
any other senior league club and third
in total number of runs made by oppo-
nents. Cincinnati was second in errors;
second in left on bases and more runs
had been scored against the team than
any other club in the league. Pitts
burg, in last place, had made the third
largest number of errors and had next
to the largest number of runs scored
against by opponents. Boston was third
in left on bases.
The compilations showed more COM
plicated situation in the American league.
Boston, the leading team on that date,
was second in runs scored but in other
respects was playing close, careful but
not particularly brilliant baseball. The
Chicago White Sox, right on Bostons
heels, led in greatest number of runs,
but strange to say, had the third largest
number of runs stranded. Detroit was
third in run making; second in hitting,
while St Louis led in the greatest num-
Der of safe drives registered, with Cleve.

For the last week in the weekly tour.
nament there was some very low scoring
done. The players are now in the top of
their form. If they keep this form till
the time the championship is played,
then it will be very hard to pick the
winner till almost the last stroke is
played.
In class for last week, H. Forsyth
wins first points with a very low net
score of IS, while no less than four play
ers are tied for second and third places,
they being W Johnston, L. R. Hutchin-
son, p Brown and d. j. Mcmillan. They
all turned in net score of II, which goes
to prove that the handicaps are almost
perfect.
The point winners ~ class B cannot be
posted in this list, as one card has yet to
be turned in. However, there are three
cards with II net. They belong to G.

In the novice class, H. Davidson and

are tied for third.
