GOLF FAVOR|TES WIN OUT
Mrs. Stetson and Three Others Score
Easily in First Round at
Whitemarsh.

PHILADELPHIA, october 24.-It was
not very difficult matter to pick the
winners in the first round of match play
for the Belle Steelman Bumm memorial
cup at the Whitemarsh Valley Country
Club yesterday. but even at that few
anticipated that the matches would be
SO oue-sided. When the automatic draw
is used it Is practically certain that
none of the best players will meet in
the first round, and as it was used in
the first round yesterday 1t was only
natural that the weaker players would
be eliminated.
Two of the matches ended on the elev-
enth hole. one on the twelfth, three on
the fourteenth and one on the fifteenth
while the eighth went to Mrs. Burtin
Price by default. The best fought
match was played between Miss Eleanor
T Chandler of Huntingdon Valley and
Mrs Milton Herold of Philmont, and
although Miss Chandler won up and
to play, she had to play excellent golf
in order to do so. She was out in forty
six In spite of the fact that she played
four holes in six and one in seven and
was . up at the turn. But for an
eight on the eleventh hole she played
good golf coming in. and. halving two
holes and losing one. she won more
easily than at one time appeared prob
able.

ANNAPOLIS, October 24.-Jimmy Null

ligan has just signed two-year con-
tract with the Navy, and will within
the next week or two take charge of
the sailor squad. Notwithstanding the
general impression that the present
year Is an "off season. in service ath-
letics, Mulligan will have no stingy
sch edule to get his charges ready for.
Two intercollegiate meets have been
settled. one with Penn and one with
Pitt, and there are negotiations on ior
still another good dual go when the
weather opens up and the call OF out
doors gets the sprinters. distance men.
hurdlers and hammer. discus and shot
beavers out on the oval. Besides these
there will be at least two indoor meets
this winter, which should prove good
drawing cards for track fans about
this section of the woods. One of these
will in all probability be with St
Johns College. Annapolis.
The Pennsylvania go in the spring
Will take place the Saturday before the
big intercollegiate meet on Franklin

for the week after the intercolegiates
Under the supervision of Lieut.. F. V.

De ORC IS LEADING DAILY
Beats New Yorker in First Block of
Three-Cushion Title Match.
so to 43.

NEW YORK, October 24.--Alfredo De
ORC led his challenger, John Daily, by a
score of so points to 43 in the first
block of their billiard match for the
three cushion carom championship last
night.
While DAILY wrought marvellous bank
shots upon the table that held the
crowd spellbound, the champion on
three occasions broke through tie to
finish in front
From beginning to end De Orc made
consistent use of the cue. His shorter
angle shots and his gentle and artful
use of english kept him counting so
well as to more than offset the crack
ing cushions by which Daily sent the
cue ball on galloping excursions around
the table.
Daly's efforts that counted Were all
of the snowy order. AT times he had
the balls scrambling all over the green
top like fighting wildcats. De Orc ne
gotiated many of his best caroms by
such delicacy of stroke as to cause the
globes safely to glide together
The second block of points will be
played tonight.

5000 FOR LIBERTY BONDS.
Washington Bodies of Scottish Rite
Make a Second Purchase.

Five thousand dollars was appropri-
ated for the purchase of bonds of the
second liberty loan issue by the Wash
ington bodies Of the Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry,
according to announcement made last
night at the session of Robert de Bruce
Council. knights kadosh, at the Scot
tish Rite Cathedral, Sd and E streets
northwest.
Eight thousand dollars was appropri-
ated by the same bodies for the pur-
chase of liberty loan bonds of the first
issue. thus making $4,000 appropriated
by the Washington Scottish Rite bodies
to help win the war in Europe.
This is said to be in line with the
general plan adopted by the Scottish
Rite bodies Of the southern jurisdiction
of the United States. which viii con-
tinue to subscribe to the limit of their
funds as each call is made by the gov
ernment. These subscriptions, however.
do not include subscriptions made by
individual members of the bodies
which. it was stated, amount to many
thousands Of dollars in the Jurisdiction.

BY H. C. BYRD.

Agitation for an Army-Navy game
this fall is rife Notwithstanding an
announcement that the contest will
strenuous efforts will be made to have
it take place. Comment favoring the
meeting is being printed in all north
ern papers. and at West Point and An
napolis everybody is anxious to play.
Cadets and midshipmen want the
contest because it is the one big thing
toward which each body of students
looks every year. West Pointers be-
lieve they can get their fifth straight
victory over the Navy, and the latter
thinks it's rejuvenated machine can go
long way toward redeeming failures
in the last four seasons. The Sailors
portunity to get a whack at that Army
mule this fall, and not without reason.
because their team unquestionably Is
one of the strongest ever turned out
at Annapolis.
Another suggestion worth while is
that the game be played with the un-
derstanding that all admissions be
paid for and that the entire sum
realized be donated to the Red Cross
or to some Army and Navy charity
fund 1t is practically certain that
100000. or close to that, could easily
be realized from the gate money When
it is stated that between thirty and
forty thousand persons attend the con-
test each year it Is easily reckoned
what the game would bring in at the
gate. Especially is this true when
every ticket probably could be sold
for So per individual.
One good reason has been advanced
for not allowing the contest. 1t is held
n fn off inar ha hi
sailors and soldiers would have to be
moved to New York. and that at this
