MARSTON- TRAVERS
WIN TAME MATCH
Beat Kirkby and Anderson 2
and 1 in Red Cross Play
in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. July 6.-Maxwell r.
Marston and Jerome d. Travers defeated
Oswald Kirkby and John G. Anderson
In the eighteen hole best ball four ball
match for the Red Cross at the Merton
Cricket Club to-day. 2 up and 1 to play.
The attendance was decidedly disap-
pointing. for probably not more than
$50 spectators turned out to witness the
match. A great number Of golf enthu-
siasts had left town for over the Fourth
of July but this does not altogether ac-
count for the poor attendance. and 1t
goes to prove once more that as far as
ext ibition matches are concerned Phila-
delphia golfers are apathetic.
The amount collected for the Red
Cross was s521 and 1891 OF this sum
came from the sale OF badges and $3.50
from the sale of the privilege Of caddy-
ing for the players and the sale of balls
with which brides were made.
As far as the golf was concerned It
cannot be said that II was In any way
thrilling. All four players did something
good at times but the golf was so I'M
even that the spectators were not given
the opportunity to display their en-
thusiasm. TIE cards:

F. T. L. says: The declarer revokes,
inadvertently playing a small heart on
a diamond lead from dummy. A at once
remarks, as the next trick Is played.
That saves the game partner. He re-
voked on that last trick" Toward the
end of the hand the declarer leads a
diamond and A discards heart. The
trick Is turned down and dummy re-
marks. That saves our 100 penalty. You
revoked" A says he thought that de-
clarer had no diamonds. 30 he could
not lead one. B bets dummy loses all
right to a penalty for calling attention
to the error.
What led A into the error is not the
point. A revoke is revoke no matter
what precedes it. BIS contention is
sound only II dummy has been de-
riberately overlooking the hand of either
Of his opponents. II he has not been so
doing, dummy has a right to call at
tention to a revoke as soon as 1t Is
established.
L. c. 8. says: against a no-trumper A
leads the nine of his partners declara-
tion. B wins II with the king and leads
the ace. on which A drops the deuce.
B then shifts to one of dummy's weak
suits, and the declarer gets in and goes
game. The dummy had ten small only
of the suit A led. The third hand held
A X q s, and would have made them
all had he gone on. bets that after
leading the nine, should have followed
suit to the second round with the eight,
as he held nine eight deuce. bets B
should have gone on and found out
what A had.
BIS play in shifting Is based on the
inference that the declarer held the eight
as we'll as the jack. and to go on would
give him a trick. B is right in saying
. A should have played the suit down.
showing that he still held the deuce.
The partner can miss the smallest cards
of a suit. but he cannot place cards that
are Intermediates
&C. v. says: A bets that as It Is the
rule to bid the higher ranking of two
suits first, the correct bid on this hand
is a heart, by the dealer. no score: Five
hearts to the queen nine; four clubs to
the ace king jack, and two small In each
OF the other suits. b bets no should

The hearts are not strong enough for
a free bid: but the clubs are. and the
correct opening bid Is a club. On the
second round. II the opportunity offers.

two suits Is bid first only when either

POEMS WORTH READING.


Btnrs OF Liberty.
It stands on q battered bureau in . gar

And over the empty socket the spider q

A csndiestick made OF pewter, clumsy and
crude, but ioI
Hallowed by love q hundred and forty
years ago.
In the days Of tho Revolution set by q
mothers hand
In q lonely farmhouse window the candle
stick used to stand,
Each night Its light beamed brightly on
the path that led to the door
To guido tho steps Of a soldier who came,
alas no more.
It hangs in a tiny cottage in . mean ana
narrow street,
A service Gag which a mother has sswed
with stitches neat,
A little banner demanding from all q
reverent glance
At the single star upon It for the soldier
over in France.
The footsore Continental. ragged. grimy
and lean,
Ana tho trim young lad In khaki. putteed
and smart and clean.
Alike beheld the vision OF freedom from
things abhorred.
And democracy triumphant DER the rule
Of the naked sword.
Yellow star of the candle. sapphire star
Of the dag,
Both are beacons of glory on Freedoms
Hottest cras. B..
Both by patriot mothers at the panss were
placed to glow
Steady and clear and constant, through the
roses and the snow.
Down through the years between thcm
the star of the candle liRht
And the radiant star OF service their faith
full rays unite
In one undying spiendor, that svermore
shall be
A torch to the feet Of freemsn on the

The Meadow of Dreams

Inc MounOw OF Dfcnxue.
No Mans Land lies before me.
That once was a Meadow
Where fairies foregathered
And Ellis made their play:
It's the saddest, most desolats
Hell of a Meadow
From Dante's Inferno.
Since Huns had their way.
At the moment OF Dawn
There's a mist on that Meadow,
low lying pail
OF impalpable gray:
It's made of a dampness
That slackens my heart strings
When I am so lonely.
And you are away.
But there's my Meadow OF Dreams,
Where the sweetest OF flowers
Lie hid in the grass
Looking up to the sky.
Where the sparkle of dew.
And the blue of the violet
Bring back to my memory
The CLINT OF your eye.
From my Meadow OF Dreams.
Where I'm always supposing
We're never to part.
To the world every morning
stumble half doing.
And tho mist of my Meadow
Hangs over my heart.
IT'S made OF the breath
OF those sweet little creatures
That kneel on the steps
OF Titania's throne,
IT'S an ether of love
That beguiles me half dreaming
To believing at last. Love!
That you are my own.
IT'S such soft awakening
That sets me a-listeninE
With courage undaunted
To the snarl Of the gun:
TITS such soft awakening
That sends me a-thrilling
To stihe the roar
OF the horrible Hun.
IT'S such soft awakening
That makes me 80 willing
To step Into a world
Full OF horrible things:
And the sweet recollection
OF your eyes so thrilling
Is the great consolation
Reality brings.
